"Clearly, TMP has jumped the Shark." Topic

Enough said.

Where shall people who enjoy the hobby of wargaming go to discuss the hobby?

And Bill's a Mormon – really?!?!?!

I'm not an expert or anything, but from observing some of the Mormon guys I've worked with in the past, I think it's okay for Mormons to like boobies, too.

;)

Shawn.

Maybe we can find "The Boobies Page" and start a board there…

LOL.

Sharks !

Where ?

I'd be safe if I was a Robin.

Yes, I like Robins, the gardener's friend. Actually they are sneaky little devils, pretend they are friendly, but they are just waiting for you to turn over the soil and expose a worm for them.

Here you are:

Altogether now….AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !

New Sock Puppet for Tony not dog housed yet ?

The Editor (may he live forever) must be slipping.

Come on in the water's fine. It's a whale shark, and they're vegetarians!

And Bill's a Mormon – really?!?!?!

Mormons like boobies too!

It was going to jump the shark, but no one has finished painting the shark miniature yet.

"When I tell my henchmen to jump, they say 'which shark?'"

As long as it's not a landshark, those guys give me the chills.

If you find TMP so unpleasant, why come here at all?

We found it pleasant, that's why we are complaining about the addition of silly nonsense. Garbage.

I'm really thinking about leaving over this. Don't show me any birds to justify this B.S. We all know what this is about.

If there were no women on TMP you might be able to justify this. As is, this subject lies somewhere between offensive and highly annoying. Those of you that support this board would NEVER talk like you do here in mixed company.

If she didn't knock your block off, her husband would. But secure behind the annoymity of the internet, here we go.

This subject has nothing to do with wargaming and nothing to do with miniatures. It does demonstrate that there are a significant number of morons that frequent TMP which includes the editor.

Go ahead Bill, dog house me forever. That was intended to be personal -- very personal.

Mjc- who here is supporting this board, exactly?

I'm wondering who suggested this. I mean, if it was entitled "Needs more tentacles", then we'd have a fair idea.

To be fair to Bill, he's doing a good job of picking the three hobby news stories per day. Some of them are quite interesting.

Maybe we should have a Needs More Penis board to even things out.

I just wonder how quidveritas would react to some actual offensive language.

If he went to Frothers he would probably have a heart attack.

Maybe we should have a Needs More Penis board to even things out.

That could be coverd as part of a Zardoz board.

I just wonder how quidveritas would react to some actual offensive language.

It's not the language – it's the sentiment. Quidveritas is right. No way would anybody here speak in mixed company like this. It's infantile and embarrassing.

We all know that board suggestions from polls don't have to be implemented.

And yet here it is.

We could all be very grown up and just ignore it.

But with 3,000 regular TMPers that's not going to happen.

A little humour may help to point out that this is without any doubt THE DUMBEST NEW BOARD EVER.

If not, just resort to more shouting.

But secure behind the annoymity of the internet, here we go.

That pretty much sums up 95% of the activity on the internet.

… A poll got it here. Why not have a poll to remove it?

Only till I get my Amish Rake fighting board…

Why not have a poll to remove it?

If the board doesn't get used, it will be removed in time.

… We both know it'll get used excessively and mostly for complaining of it's existence.

Poll to remove it would be faster.

Well I like to play with toy soldiers.
I like to play with boobies.
Why not have a board?

Those birds are so cute to feed and play with :)

"Well I like to play with toy soldiers.

I love to do both those things as well, and in fact doing one has gotten me to the other. (A rather high stakes game once. The prize was a date, which led to several more and a few happy endings. *Ahem*) Anyways! I'm of the camp that does not like to mix these two on this website. My reasoning is that this is not a hobby simply for older gentlemen, or those at least of age, but for all genders, ages, races, religions, etc etc. If we were all of the same mind, the same likes and dislikes, then we'd never have any fun arguments on here!

I just find the fact this board made it here to show the utter lack of maturity present in many of the members here. I knew that anonymity gives adults the ability to act like middle schoolers, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to behave that way.

What on earth is going on that a board like this is on a website about miniatures?

Sigh.

Wow – do some people get excited real easily.

I quite like the idea

"But secure behind the annoymity of the internet, here we go."

"That pretty much sums up 95% of the activity on the internet."

Yup.
Which is why I stay off more than I used too.

In the interest of fairness and diversity of opinions, I've discussed this with four woman gamers I game with occasionally… all four found this board to be funny, and two thought it would be useful. None of them found it offensive. They are all RPGers (including one LARPer,) though, not mini gamers, so that may invalidate their opinions.

What a lot of fuss over nothing.

Any kid clicking on this thread would find a bunch of old people complaining and whinging anyway, thus giving him a true and accurate depiction of TMP, and putting him off ever googling the word "boobies" ever again!

If there were actual photos of "boobies" then I think it should be moved elsewhere/members only for sure.

Otherwise, a storm in a tea cup.

Hey, isn't BME they same guy who posted threads about his own female minis etc. This is the sort of hypocrisy I'm talking about…

Yes, that's the fellow. One of the worst sculptors I have had the misfortune to come across, and with a sexual maturity to match.

Still people, be careful how hard you complain…

Someone changed their username to 'Not a Happy Bunny' and got their account locked.

It seems the amount of dissention tolerated around here is getting lower.

There's a certain Russian Roulette vibe though, don't you think? It's almost intriguing to see what you can get whacked for these days.

I think this board was created to spark heated discussion and controversy. Boards that are completely peaceful do not thrive. However there are limits to what depths of flaming can be tolerated.
I am happy to see that some actual historical and philosophical discussion has come from this board. It shows me that despite our differences that most of us here do have brains and can use them above the level of a common troll.

I think this board was created to spark heated discussion and controversy.

So it's kinf of trolling?

Troll boobies is a nauseating idea.

But then I'm not keen on this board either. Sadly, Lowest Common Denominator Internet is the price we pay for (some) freedom of expression.

This is the first and last time I will comment, though :)

Meanwhile, back to toy soldiers…

John T

Would that all members announced their protest with such restraint, John T. No name calling just an honest opinion.

LOL

Adults playing with toy soldiers (sorry, 'simulating events of Military History') cannot be but very… fresh and young in their minds. Accept the consequences!

@John T.: Reaper makes a nice topless troll chick with exposed boobies and a little troll baby clinging to her back

This discussion is pathetic. Sure the forum's name is a bit silly but the simple fact is there are A) scantly clad minis out there B) people buy them C) people want to discuss them on a forum about *GASP!* MINIATURES and finally D) By having a forum dedicated to scantly clad minis people can discuss their figures and link to pictures and the like without making people uncomfortable on the other forums!

SO…

HEAR,HEAR !!!
