How long does it take a newer member of the forums to be unleashed from his moderated harness that TGC forums keeps him on?

You need to cross the river Styx.

*homer is paddling a raft across the molten river while "Lady" by Styx plays and zombies wave their burning arms like you would in a concert*

Meh? Simpsons reference? I tried.

You have to eat Jimmy droppings, the Jimmy is an odd creature. It's natural habitat is TCG forums, he doesn't keep to himself, and attacks new animals in the jungle. The Jimmyious-sitehostious(scientific name) leaves large piles of spam were ever he go's. But don't enager the Jimmy, for he is king of the IRC, and will kick you for it. The young Jimmy's feed on noob fleash, but runs when a mod is near. The Jimmy is part of this wonderful ecosysystem we call TGC forum.

I'm not totally sure, but I think that since the fat-guy was posting crap, Rich made it so that new members' posts had to be approved by a mod. It's a good way to keep things like that happening, but it's more work on the mods. (Good thing we've got lots of 'em now. )

@Bear Crazy Donut Productions

This is what a harness looks like that I was talking about:



My post was a goofy analogy. Child harnesses are over protective, and suppress a kid from running away or getting crazy.

Child harnesses are for the childs protection. The forum harness is for our protection

Not when you consider that the child is being under-arm thrown up into trees to retrieve footballs and frisbees.

Here's the skit:


[ Scene opens with Philip harnessed to a kiddy gym. He tries several times to leap forward and break the harness but fails miserably. Grace sits quietly and plays with her Barbie dolls. Phillip finally sits down. ]

Phillip: Hi!

Grace: Hi!

Phillip: Hi!

Grace: Hi!

Phillip: What's your name?

Grace: Grace.

Phillip: My name is Philip. How come you don't wear a harness?

Grace: My mom doesn't believe in it. She thinks it's cruel.

Phillip: My mom thinks it's very necessary. I'm hypoglycemic and hyperactive. I'm a hyper hypo. That's why I wear a helmet. My mother's a little overprotective.

Grace: Well, why don't you try and get out of it.

Phillip: Okay. (Phillip tries to run and break the harness. Seeing that it's useless he stops) I can't right now. I've worn my way through six harnesses. One time, my mom's car ran out of gas so she gave me a Snickers bar and a can of Coke; I towed the car home, seven miles. When we got home I was tired.

Grace: We just moved here from Australia. It's nice here in America.

Phillip: Yes it is. How old are you?

Grace: Six.

Phillip: I'm six and a half.

Grace: I'm six and three quarters.

Phillip: I'm six and four fifths.

Grace: I'm six and infinity.

Phillip: I'm six and infinity plus one. Can I see that? (grabs doll) See that? This is where milk comes for the babies. This is where milk comes for the babies. Right there and there.

Grace: Give it back to me stupid.

Phillip: Shut up.

Grace: Stupid.

Phillip: Shut up.

Grace: I'm gonna talk like a robot. I'm a robot. I'm talking like a robot.

Phillip: I love you, you know.

Grace: I know. People always tell me that I'm pretty. Everyone always says, "She's pretty." I hate it.

Phillip: You're conceited.

Grace: You're a weirdo.

Phillip: I'm over you. You're dropped.

Grace: I don't talk to you anymore.

Phillip: I don't think about you when you're not here you know.

Grace: At least I don't have to wear a harness.

Phillip: That was hurtful and unnecessary.

Grace: I'm sorry. Phillip: That's okay.

Grace: I'm in a choir in Sydney. My mommy says I have a pretty voice.

Phillip: Wow. You're surrounded by a lot of positive support.

Grace: What?

Phillip: Nothing.

Grace: I'm gonna sing a song for you. (Tie me kangaroo down sport song) That was fun!

Phillip: Whatever, okay.

Grace: Don't you think I have a pretty voice?

Phillip: I gotta say you know, when you get older, people aren't going to support you so much.

Grace: Why not?

Phillip: My cousin was a cute kid and then he hit puberty and his face exploded. Now he looks around and he's wondering where all the people who said he was cute went to. Guess what I'm doing?

Grace: You're smooshing your face

Phillip: I'm doing an impression of my dog. He's a Sharpei.

Grace: I'm a Sharpei too.

Phillip: I love you again

Grace: I know.

Phillip: I'm hungry.

Grace: Oh, I have a Hershey bar.

Phillip: I'm not supposed to eat sugar.

Grace: [ eating the Hershey bar ] Mmm.. it's really good.

Phillip: You're the devil.

Grace: Want a bite?

Phillip: Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt.

[ Philip eats the chocolate and freaks out, breaking the jungle gym free and running off with it trailing behind him ]
