Grats on the 1000 posts, I remember when I got that waaaaay back when.
Hope to see you more around the forums!
10k is a cool landmark because it's probably the last time you'll ever change digits. :o

Food for thought maybe?
A recent happening in the FC, well, just got me thinking. It relates to the 'kicking for lolz' culture that seems to be an accepted part of the friends chat, from what I had gathered from a couple of star ranks when asking about it.
They've told me that it's been that way for ages and gave me the impression it's an accepted part of the chat's culture.
I do appreciate that it has the potential to be amusing in the situation when there is an established relationship of mutual teasing underpinned by a firm friendship. But I personally also feel it also has quite a strong likelihood of upsetting someone and I have seen that happen. To be excluded from the chat by a fellow player against your wishes in a manner that is entirely out of your control, even for only a few minutes while the chat is reset, has at the very least the potential to be irritating. Most may take it in the spirit that it was intended, but it would hardly be surprising if some do not.
I do appreciate too, that it's something Chrisso has indulged in (or so I'm told), but to be frank, that's a very different kettle of fish from being kicked by a fellow player. I trust Chrisso to be an accurate judge of character to be able to decide which of the long time participants in his FC are able to take such a joke in the spirit in which it's intended, and if in doubt, not to risk it. Let's face it, it's his FC too, so he has the right to play whatever pranks he likes in there anyway.
But I digress, is it at least worth thinking about, that considering the perhaps small though I believe significant likelihood of someone of someone getting upset by being kicked by a rank for 'a joke', it might be best to avoid that entirely? Is the joke, really worth the potential for upset and 'edrama' that it may unwittingly cause? Personally, I doubt it is.

Anyway, those are just my thoughts. I do realise that as a more recent addition to the chat, I'm probably coming at it with outsider eyes, but I'd like to hear what others think anyway.
(Chrisso, if you've got any thoughts on that, it would be great to hear them.

That happened? I thought kicking for the lols had stopped. I think most ranks know my thoughts on the subject so I won't post them here. I am sorry you had to go through that tree.
