Hello, I'm a long-time lurker and a first-time poster.
I'm not sure why one of my recent posts was approved and the other was flagged as being from a sleeper spambot. I thought my post about how impractical modern airships would be at replacing container shipping was on topic.
Anyway, nice to meet all of you.
That was my hiccup, and I apologize.

WELCOME!!
Unfortunately, while deleting about 20 Russian Spambot posts, I think I accidently deleted your post about the Republic at War in ARTS.

You could repost it under Gaming

I need to reintroduce myself, even though this might get me banned for sockpuppeting? Here it is. I am the owner of the Waddles McGee account which, I used when I was 14 or something. Made an absolute ass out of myself to the point that Mike himself called me out, I had several threads Hall of Shamed, and I decided to ban myself before I said something stupid and got banned. So, I took a page from one of Stark's posts, and randomly typed bullhockey into a window, then copy pasted it to change my password after changing my recovery email to something also totally random. Highlights include: being too stupid to recognize that you guys were joking when you told me to stalk a girl I had a crush on, making numerous shitposts about Trek vs Wars, about how you guys were being too mean to new members, and adding stupid comments to Trek posts that got Mike's attention.
I'm at your mercy.

Wow, a RETURNING member.
Perhaps this is a sign that the board will begin becoming more active again?!?

Depends on how well the Russians pay us to post here, I guess.

Posting for Uncle Vlad is an excellent side hustle.
Shame they locked the thread, I've got my eye on a brand new ushanka.

It was, I had the perfect response to J's last post too but Dalton locked the thread before I could post it

His post said "pending review" that was more than a month ago. So I have to to discuss the subject elsewhere, the "Only truth about Russia" space on Quora that I stumbled across makes for some fascinating reading

I'm personally hoping the never ending enshittification of reddit, facebook, etc. will push people back to forums.

One can hope to a degree.

WITH a few oddballs? I agree a few here are odder than others, but if we have anybody here normal communities would consider regular folk I haven't met any of them.

Hey, jackass. What's up with your life? If you
really wanted to stop crime in Gotham City, you'd let Gordon run wild with your family fortune as a donation and be done with it. You just like putting on that costume and hitting guys with your hands.
Better?

More in line with what I'm used to here, at least .

And if we're talking about how to 'realistically' fix Gotham I don't think anything short of bombing the place into rubble and starting completely from scratch would work.

Well unless I were to do the sensible thing and pay whoever is the currently alive Flash the couple dozen million or so they'll ask for the 45 seconds or so of their time It'll take the to end all crime in Gotham once a month or thereabouts.

So, to recap, for anyone new here: We are a bunch of aggressively jocular raconteurs, who give each other a lot of shit.
