Back in the day, we had daily Round Tables. The job would rotate among the Moderators. Some days the first thread was historical days in history, or something related to the day if it were a holiday. Birthdays were mentioned. It was a social gathering place as the thread description states - to chit chat, post one-off memes, stories, etc. It was never, ever intended to be a discussion form, as there are over 30 other discussion forums.

It's a given that Round Table is meant to be a special forum onto itself. As Ranters dwindled, so did the Round Tables. It became weekly for a long time. Then monthly, now it's seasonal.

Over the past year, a certain Ranter has "misplaced" or "didn't know" where he was posting a thread - on three different occasions now - and the only Ranter to do so - if you can believe that "didn't know" story.

Because you and I both know, you have to purposely select a forum in which to post a thread. You can't "accidentally" post to a forum and not know which Forum you're in. As founder Doug Thompson would say, "...that doesn't pass the smell test."

Sadly, some people in life have an innate demonstrable talent is for pissing all over it - with no respect for history or tradition, as is the case here.

And now you know the rest of the story. smile
