Maybe simply "they're just toys?" Without the relax?

I was trying to figure out if that was on purpose or not. Intentional nod to our overlord, Freudian slip, or typo - you decide. :)

Kind of over the whole 'being talked down to' one liner headers, personally.

Sure, they're just toys (how many times does that phrase have to be needlessly thrown around) but obviously they're something that a lot of us are passionate about. Passion ≠ taken lightly.

If anything, the headers should say 'fuck off, opportunistic losers and scumbags.'



add flippers. It really needs to say flippers.

I support simplicity too, without the extra messages. Even if these ones are temporary.

I'm not really too happy with the 'attitude' any of the three have implied, as, for sure that aspect of it exists on here [unfortunately], but so does an incredibly laid back and fun one just for a love of toys - and that is the side I feel represents my Skullbrain and the reason I keep coming back here. I don't actually know which side is in the minority; nor does it matter that much.

Maybe some people are ruining it for everyone, or maybe the board is just shifting focus. Change is fine I guess, I just like to know what to expect when I come to the board.

*And just for the record, I am self-professed misanthrope and all-around giant curmudgeon, but not when it comes to toys.

If it were "just toys" then there's no need for the whatever section. Please see that it is removed immediately.

That is very creepy.

But, then we would have a thread with people getting in heated arguments about why King George's version over a different one or what-not.

It's not just toys. It's art dammit :!:

I agree with Banshee 100% why have a belittling message to your members. 99% of people here are relaxed.

Don't all the cool kids hang on another board only to cast an occasional condescending glance at the hoï polloï squirming around down here: " chill the fuck out retards, it's only toys" Sure, coming from folks who built their lives around the damned things. :|

Steve was actually mentioning that it accidentally said "Skullbrian" for a short bit yesterday evening, which was an accident. :)

I laughed and the threw up a little in my mouth when I read this. Good times, SB.

But yeah, glad to see the message gone. Nice grey on black works well.

what a horrible thread title. Never clicked on it cause I thought it was more beef garbage.

I loved the touch of color, is it still an option??

The thread title is in reference to what the first iteration of the new header was, i.e. when the thread was started: Skullbrain. Deal with it.
