Come on. Doesn't this make you hungry for spaghetti sauce?

But you had to have the BIIIIIG salad!

It's so funny that I should find something like that so soon after I was talking about how Deathspork upset a lot of people with his opinions on Cloud and Pikachu on his old Homestead site. I wish webarchive had a readable copy of that site.

Think of what you're saying,
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out
And get it straight or say good night.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

I wonder how he found your site. I doubt he found it by searching Wall-E; it must be thousands upon thousands of pages deep on Google.

One thing I found extremely off-putting about that message board is the way every user has a "Send this person money" link under their name. Now, Yuku does have a "Buy Me Supporter" link in the profiles (which I think are silly - I wonder if anyone has ever actually used one, and if you were going to buy Supporter, wouldn't you just get it for yourself?), but I think there's a subtle (yet notable) difference between buying someone a tangible thing and just sending someone money for no apparent reason.

Message boards are things for having discussions. A forum that advocates not discussing things while simultaneously advocating spending money frivolously and having a "Send me money" option for every user comes across as being more like a Get Rich Quick scheme. This is something I've seen at other boards recently, and it irks me.

On a related note, I'm not going to ask for donations to renew the ad-free status on the board when it expires next time. I think I'm in a better financial situation to handle it this year and I felt a little guilty about doing it last year.

I'd still be happy to put something in. This board is certainly something I think is worth paying for.

At first, I absolutely hated Wall-E, and vowed to never see it. Then I slapped myself in the face, and realized it was made by Pixar.

That's a board full of geniuses.

Better be careful. That's the sort of logic that gamers actually use.

Well, it's not that people are incapable of being stupid on, say, a forum about Pixar. But I think even without the avatars and such, you would be able to tell pretty much immediately that that's a videogame board.

It's basically the N64 General BBS from N-Sider Part II.

I'm not even seeing where that is.

That's odd...I could have sworn I remembered seeing a button in the profiles you could click to buy someone supporter, but maybe that was only on Ezboard, not Yuku. Even if it was, it would still only be in the profiles...not under every damn post on the actual board.
