Thank you. It shows the maturity of folks who try to make funny remarks on threads reporting disasters (or in this case an unknown that could become a disaster). Could you imagine being the idiot that mentioned King Kong in the opening posts of a live 9/11 thread?

My experience is that forums like this start out very well, but over time devolve into this type of childish arena of one-upmanship and such. It is too bad, because this used to be a great site, with great, but appropriate, humor. After all, Sore Looserman came from here. But today, much of what you see is "it's Bush's fault" or juvenile name calling.

Alas, I still love what's left of the old culture.

One thing the this area is known for is sarcasm. It is just off color humor.

I find inappropriate humor, appropriate humor.

So na na na nah!

I've been around for eight years plus and would have to agree with your assessment.
