Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around! If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!! Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!
No. I feel that it adds nothing to the board other than "Hurr Hurr we are tough".

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

But we all know votes in the HoC don't matter in board policy.

It's just a board tradition, Thanas. We don't actually smackdown newbies anymore, and not that many of us are real flame warriors. I miss it, and would like it back.
Sentimental reasons, really, but I believe they are just as valid.

Oh, I agree that your reasons are just as valid as mine. It is a matter of opinion after all.
One that we might just have to agree to disagree on.

Well I think it was a tradition back when STvSW was, well, not going strong, but at least still relevant. It seems... now that the board has moved passed that. Traditions can die.
I say no.

When I first joined and I saw that line, I thought it was funny and not intimidating in the least, a friendly ribbing thing as an introduction. Also I happen to like stupid but entertaining old traditions, so I vote aye.

I thought that the board always have this mentality that traditions for the sake for having them is stupid? I would say let the board move on from the past.
Humans are such funny creatures. We are selfish about selflessness, yet we can love something so much that we can hate something.
But it's not a tradition for tradition's sake. It's a tradition for amusement's sake, which is a perfectly valid reason for anything so long as it's not harmful, and I don't see the harm.

Agreed 100%.
And voted.

The smackdown line always irritated the hell out of me. I like the generic "Welcome to our newest member, [user name]" much better, but the "Our flamewarriors have posted X topics" part was okay. Especially since anyone who doesn't know what flamewarrior refers to has no business being on internet forums anyway, especially geek forums.

I liked that quote, but shame on me, hadn't noticed it was gone.
Aren't newbies customarily harvested for organs? What's with the pruddish attitude now? The main site subtitle reads "...and mockery of stupid people", wich can be seen as even more aggressive.

There's a difference between laying into someone for being a moron and laying into someone for being new.
