How about the Hip Junction. Sounds like a prosthetic catalog entry.

I should be better but I just can't fark them. I didn't do anything wrong and you all know that. I was targeted. How does any of that make you "weak"? Aside from apologizing for justifiable rage. The therapy here is real. I personally think that revenge is very therapeutic. Of course it has to have limits. But if someone has fucked you up, it's likely you're not alone. And since you can't organize with people you don't know, there aren't many options. But there's something very satisfying about getting up at 2AM to leave 4 brand new ice picks hanging out of the sidewalls of a given asshole's vehicle. The temptation to hang around for the reaction is powerful. So bring a contrasting change of clothing. You'll be amazed at the way stress just evaporates from you.

Under the current circumstances, there are only a limited number of ways to make an impact. Nothing as savage as spiking $800 worth of tires. But, this is the internet. Where an organized campaign can effect substantial change on a given target. Old fashioned tactics like DDoS attacks are likely a felony by now and too easy to track down. That sort of overt shiit is begging for trouble. I won't engage in it. I'm more about the covert. Which I won't talk about here. But as a sample of concept, consider an account that sends private messages to another account. But that account has been dormant for a decade. Who will know? No matter what the message, it will sit there. Until the day they decide to violate the account to use it for another purpose. That could even be the new site owners, days, weeks, years later. Just think about the complex narrative, especially if many were involved, that could be developed. Obviously there's more to it. At the moment though, I prefer the not looking back as much as I am looking forward. I know things have been crazy around here, but I am trying to get everyone's attention so we can make something cool. You've all seen the pitiful state of my artistic capabilities and yet, none who can actually produce nice shiit has stepped up. Dice won't brag, but he's been working the alternate site (s kipforums.boards.net) I set up for testing features before committing them to this place. Like that snazzy little arrow box on the lower right that zooms you up the page. A handy plug-in. I hate to sound like every lame boss I have ever had since the 70s who dared to use the word "teamwork" during a meeting, only to turn around and hand all the cake assignments to his buddies, but teamwork is what we need. And some coordination. And goals and shiit like that. I think this site has been great for all of us. But I always considered it to be training wheels in terms of web relevance.

So wait, are you guy abandoning this already? Before we write this all off? I know private messages are not private, if you can do them here they are not private here either. You can hide your ip there and here too, it makes you totally traceable... and VPNs have holes like everything else. Someone is looking, you just hope online that it isn’t you they are looking at.
I knew hip forums private messages were not private, you could even get to them on a webpage. This is why I talked elsewhere with 6. Gave a bogus email for signing up for something...etc...If you know how they are generated you know how someone can look. You know how you can look. Things there are in frames they use php. There are ways to access pages. The reason bots are deleted is because they scan everything. Wayback machine online captures thing too, Even private chats it has captured on websites.
As for stepping up to design something, if you decided on a name to stick with, I am sure people here would do a design banner, whether hand drawn or designed on a computer. A solid name, without a name change makes it so people say... I am going to hip, or let’s go to the mental ward.... or heading to crazy monkeys... whatever. Name changes don’t really work.
When a site changes complaints come... hate the design, navigation changed, hard to read, etc... People get frustrated and angry. I have done many site designs. You aren’t recreating hip, they didn’t create the wheel. It was there long before them. Their site design is old school. Reddit’s design is old school too. It is how computer operating and navigating is. People like consistency in sites. So you all have to get out of the website Recreating the wheel and come together, people will fade away, come back. People won’t make the adjustments if it constantly changes. Subconsciously they see the site Forum and it is like their old comfy couch and coming home to their family.

I'll try thinking of names today. I feel like I'm just going to be abandoned here. I wish I knew how to get to the reddit page.

It is just a mishmash of comments, little substance. Bonds formed there are rare, if at all. It is just a long chain of distractions and going deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole and never finding your way out. Never returning where you once were. Here you are recognized. Easy navigation and not lost in the Labyrinth, .

I got a name THE ROYAL BOOK OF TWATS ! ok, do you have a banner in mind? Ask anybody, I'll put it up! I tested out the private message thing, does it work? and here is a book bind that you can easily add the words to or change the colour of, make it bigger and add text to.

A quick note on what we're doing and why I went this way with the forums. I see us as more of a community/movement. It's why I took such an ad hoc approach to this site. I liked the idea of having moderation function as a community effort instead of having fixed hall monitors.
I do not see us as an organization, which would be the case if this became a commercial enterprise. So don't be surprised if I don't follow a conventional line of thinking. If we think of this as an experiment or a stepping stone toward a more conventional solution, then I think we did rather well here.
If not for the people here, this would not be happening.

For a free forum, this place kind of rocks. It's easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. All it needs is a name and sprucing up. How about "The love shack?"

Thanks for setting it up, Panic. I was getting lonely. I've known you for years Toast-man. A forum is not a forum without you. Many times your responses have made me spray Coke or Beer across my desk, you can be amazingly funny sometimes. I still think you're either BTS the Hippie returned in disguise. Or you're a different alien since he liked the HF chat room so much and you seem indifferent toward it. I'm not convinced you're human since you so easily pass the Turing test.

Yeah, I'm a bit weird to say the least. I'm not quite human. I've always been myself, though. Never went by another name. Personally, I didn't like that shade of purple anyway. Give me a nice lilac or lavender.
I thought it was cool when you changed the colors. Only problem was some of the dropdown text remained black; you could barely see it.

I wish I knew how to get to the reddit page. i'm pretty sure i replied when you asked about it before. you can either go here: www.reddit.com/r/stonerslounge/ and request access, or you can post your reddit username and someone can manually add you. it is pretty dead there now, but you're welcome to come in anyway.

the reddit is a good.. safety net. if we ever lose a forum or a person i'dprobably check there it's like the meeting point at a festival.
the festival of the internet.

I'm pretty sure I'm neonspectraltoast on reddit, too.
I don't see any option to request access when I go to the page, so please add me.
This place seems legit today. The Hip Zone...cool!
