    You can always vent some of that “fuck you” energy towards the artists who make/ paint toys in the Fugly toy thread, shitting on what they do for a living seems to help people feel better about their own lives. :shock:

    A toy maker, not a fan of the Fugly thread? Quelle surprise ...

    I don't recall any fuck you energy being aimed at the artists themselves. We criticise the toys, and after all, they're just lumps of plastic. No toys feelings have been hurt on the Fugly thread ...

    :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
    No I get it, I understand why the thread is there, criticism is important.. but can also be harmful. The toys also represent someone’s work, possibly someone’s job. Just something to consider is all. An attack on someone’s art can be felt as a personal attack. You don’t want people saying you did a shit job at work everyday you get home just because it’s not someone’s cup of tea. Sometimes people just post in there because they have beefs with the artists themselves. I ain’t butt hurt :cry:

    It’s a negative ball of shit sometimes but I still read it too. :mrgreen:

    Sure, but they'll live. Its interesting you use the word attack ... seems a little OTT to me. Personally, I'm just goofing off, poking fun, attempting cheeky banter ... whatever intense mind games you and all the other loonies have going on in your heads, that's beyond my control :razz:

    Seems to have worked out fine for Tommy Wiseau.

    So the FU thread gets locked for potentially causing negative feelz, but two members eviscerating each other on a super personal level is cool & just gets a bit of casual sarcasm. Ok cool, thx mods.

    Trust me, no one here thinks this is cool, and we are dealing with it. You'll note Glenn is having a time out, and at this point we agree it is best to just let this argument go. This entire thread discussion has not proved useful, other than causing further alienation and grief both to the members it was directed against, and the general readers of Skullbrain. And I will say again here, for what it's worth, this whole negativity and strife that is being seeded is noticed by members and non-members, and is a direct cause of people not wanting to sign up for the board, or leaving it altogether if they are already members. Let's just focus on toys and have fun about it, if people are coming here for other reasons, I think their time is better spent elsewhere.

    Glenn's slightly compulsory antics aside - it's not the first time this issue's been addressed, just brushing it away by acting like everybody agrees with mod policy when that obviously isn't the case just seems weird but whatevs. And just skimming over this thread again, one of you guys can take his snark and shove it up his ass. Because how exactly did that help the situation? Oh that's right it didn't, it just escalated it further. Which actually kinda proves Glenn's point. Jeez.

    And people not wanting to sign up for the board, puh-leeze... Because SB's been always known as a bastion of politeness and civility, it isn't 2020 and IG isn't a thing, right?? I actually think the misguided attempts to "clean up" won't help, but that's just me. Carry on.

    What a read, a lil banter that quickly makes one wish they were a mod too, just to block the notifications of new comments

    Hope things got back to their SB mood quickly

    We’re still without an FU thread, and it’s a shame. People need to release somewhere. Here’s better than nothing.

    This thread got real out of hand, and Glenn's behavior got real out of hand. He had been previously temporarily banned, and now he has apparently locked himself out of his account somehow. I have not been contacted to help him get back into his account, but at this point I don't believe that he should be allowed back on the board.

    I'm sure I'm going to hear people say that we're being heavy-handed, or that Skullbrain has always been mean, or that I suck for banning him, but the guy crossed the line into personal attacks a few too many times. I'll refer to this 9-year-old post from Brian:

    Oh also, someone can start a new FU thread if you want. But when it devolves into personal attacks again, it's going to get locked again.

    I find it strange that a forum for grown up baby dolls needs to be an outlet for people's FU's. Maybe if the FU was directed to toy related topics I would get it. I find it to be a cesspool of negativity that doesn't really contribute anything of value to the forum.

    Lucky for me, I have the power to not read it if I don't want to.

    I would PM a Mod, but i'm worried James won't read it unless its time for 20XX Suicide Prevention Fundraiser. Love the guy, love the cause. Seems it would be better suited ran by someone active in the community though. James very publicly let us know he found god and was out of the scene. Yet we do get the opportunity of his presence every year come September for the Fundraising, and very little to no contact as he makes his way through the prize list after. Good thing most people are entering/donating because it's a good cause and conveniently a chance at maybe scoring a cool toy as well.

    I won't deny that I come around when my World Suicide Prevention Day campaign comes up. But as far as being an admin here, I'm in and out a little more than that. When things get out of hand like with this current situation or other 'brainers who are taking things too far, I'm sometimes texted by the mods to be sure I see what's going on and weigh in. I do also come to Skullbrain any time I'm PM'd.

    The timing of this thread just happens to be around my campaign launch this year, which is fun.

    And on a positive note, to help dispel some of the darkness in your lives, if you are able to do so, please remember to save a donation and/or toy all going to a very good cause, for the World Suicide Prevention Day campaign. People have very real challenges, so every little bit helps! I've set aside at least one toy for a toy donation this year :). Let's see if the Skullbrainers can set another record for this difficult year ;):dam:
