Attention all members - New rule announcement

**VoodooJoint** · #1 05-17-06, 08:50 pm

I just want to draw everyone's attention to a new rule that has just been added.

"Flouncing threads and posts are forbidden. a flounce is where a user feels that they have had enough of the forum and, rather than simply leaving quietly, decide to post a long public message detailing their reasons, usually in a new thread so as to get the maximum number of replies. A flounce thread may get deleted and the poster banned. "

Here is the full definition of a Flounce:
Flounce is a term used on Internet chat forums to describe a type of post. Typically a flounce is where a user feels that they have had enough of the forum and, rather than simply leaving quietly, decide to post a long public message detailing their reasons, usually in a new thread so as to get the maximum number of replies.

The flounce post could contain insults directed at fellow members of the forum or at its administrators, and the users' grievances with them. They can range from the calm and reasoned to the emotional and hysterical, garnering comment and concern respectively. After flouncing, the user, rather than staying away, is usually back within a few days to a few weeks, often expecting that the mood regarding them will be exactly the same as it was when they left - which of course it never is.

In some cases, the flouncer spams the forum or - if in a position to do so - closes it entirely or disables a certain feature of it. The word flounce is intended to evoke the image of a child having a tantrum and flapping its arms about while screaming for attention.

You can read the full rule thread here.

Ok fine! I won't go around flouncing (my definition: to dance about naked in a darkened room alone

) anymore or is it still ok to flounce about in my living room when the nights draws in and I'm all alone.....Teehee! Seriously, it's probably best that we members don't encourage the flouncers by responding to them as well. Just let them go in peace.

You forgot on a table Jenn. You dance on the table.

BG, YOU may dance on a table, but that's usually not flouncing, that really calls for an audience. Ya'll know my position on dancing. Any and all dancing is more than acceptable--although I reserve judgement until I see BG on the table...

Thank God she's going to be on the table. I've gained enough to break it in two. Of course, she'll probably need alittle extra liquid to get up there, than again, she is weird.

Actually I prefer the bar. I will recreate the evolution of dance video. For a small fee of course.

**VoodooJoint** · #7 05-18-06, 06:12 pm

Hey, I'm all for dancing on tables or bartops as the case may be. Don't forget my Anniversary back in October when I first went back home.

**CavySpirit** · #8 05-18-06, 06:13 pm

Very cool!!

And a good time was had by all, well at least VJ!

**VoodooJoint** · #9 05-18-06, 06:17 pm

I just wish I could remember it.

**BabyGrl** · #10 05-18-06, 08:06 pm

Ahh double fisting at its finest.

**JennG** · #11 05-18-06, 09:27 pm

Go VJ! Go VJ! It's your anniversary! Go VJ! I'm sure we've all been close to that situation, we just may not have pics to prove it.

Why is it that I picture you singing this while doing the cabage patch?

**JennG** · #13 05-20-06, 03:23 pm

Well cause I was dancing.

I prefer to do the running man myself.

**bromers** · #14 05-21-06, 01:44 pm

Voodoo, I have had enough off this forum I had to all and I am breaking your rule!

. Do you think people who are going to leave will obay this rule? It seems fair though, and I can't say I don't take enjoyment out of those stupid threads they are funny but yep kind of useless.

**VoodooJoint** · #15 05-21-06, 02:55 pm

The fact is Bromers that they rarely do actually leave. Usually they come back and often they start posting again.

If they are going to try to flounce out of here I'll be happy to help them to the door and lock it behind them.

I am also happy to take away their "you-all-are-so-mean-so-I'm-taking-my-toys-and-going-home" thread.

**Piglet** · #16 05-22-06, 12:13 pm

You sausage! I was looking forward to the day where I could leave this forum in absolute histerics

I even had a post prepared

**VoodooJoint** · #17 05-22-06, 12:17 pm

Piglet, you staying here is hysterics enough.

By the way, haven't I banned you yet?
