I repeat my earlier comment that the joke wasn't funny because it is certainly possible they would do something that dumb here.

Your first clue should have been that DrPizza is a forum mod, not a senior mod or admin...
 
It was pretty obviously a joke with some of those rules (all of the subforums), but in reality would take such rules and changes to have a forum where the posts stay in the right fucking order.
 
I'd take all those silly rules as long as it got rid of fusetalk.

Switch to fking Vbulletin already!

Derek has been AWOL for the past month.

He is letting the crazies run the house.

I never said I was fooled by it. I just said that it was a terrible post.

If they did add a 6 word limit, all you would have to do is quote whoever you were replying to and type "This." One word response, but you've still got more than six words in your post by virtue of quoting someone who had to meet the six word limit themselves. Is that really so hard to comprehend? And yes, I know this whole thing was a joke, but people in this thread kept bringing this up without thinking about it for 3 fucking seconds to realize that virtually every post that's ever consisted of the word "This" quotes somebody else. Even "Originally posted by: ____" earns you four words from the start, so even if they only said "This" and you responded "That," it's still six words! GAH! BRAGHGA! ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER EXCLAMATORY NOISES!

OK, I feel better.
