eplaya Silly Season = Decline & Fall

[theCryptofishist]

The board gets a little weird in the second half of august... People start leaving, others are swamped with preparations. Tensions rise as deadlines loom. Those staying being dig in for a week or more of almost no one on the board... And sometimes the posting gets a little goofy.
Do trolls come out now, too? or is that just a coincidence this year?

[theCryptofishist]

I do think that the "wino" stuff has been wonderful.

[stew]

I guess we all need to channel our playa anxieties somewhere.

Also, last year was so much better.

[diss0nance]

Last year was horrible during the event, we were over run with spam.

HEY NOOB, ..WELCOME TO EPLAYA.

This year we have more safeguards and obstacles to spammers in place, thanks to Trilo. No doubt there will be spam getting in, and clueless posts. Technically the mods can access eplaya while at the event, but it takes an effort, so ... yeah, that's happening.

[lemur]

im totally gonna troll the eplaya while at the burn.


HEY, *PICTURE OF TENT* .. this zipper broke, what do i do?!



*picture of ground pin stuck inside of generator outlet*

'do i have to turn the generator off to get this out ? ..i dont want to cut the sound to my sound camp'

The board gets a little weirder

HEY NOOB, ..WELCOME TO EPLAYA.

Point taken. Edit above...

Last year you could actually hear crickets in here while the burn was going on. The spammers would shut them up for a little bit......

I'm training my replacement to sit in for me on the boards, now. Someone who can fill in while I hit the playa. Seems like a nice kid.... I'm working on that......

[AntiM]

going to be spam central....

[Jackass]

It's already been ramping up some.

[Lonesomebri]

the spam sure has picked up...

sure, but on the up-side, I no longer experience any feelings of deperession regarding dustapocolypse, and I got a hardon that'll last for days..

Foxfur overran our camp with spam for a week.

You're supposed to see a doctor if it goes over 4 hours.

[bluesbob]

We fight like we're all married on the unofficial Burning Man Facebook page.

The spammers are hitting with a vengeance. I can't wait to log out in 2 days so I don't have to deal with them...

Pretty soon he'll have his own sock, Spam Man. Or maybe Spammancer.

[shroom]

It will be spammy but at least people stop posting about needing tickets.

I thought my productivity at work would increase due to the declining number of posts, but now I find it hard to concentrate since the burn is so close. I'm spending all my time thinking through my plans over and over.

[toddbigeasy]

I will just move from here to the chats and looking at the playa webcam!

Same here. I am really useless here. Unfortunately, I've told everyone at work about where I'm going so they already figure I'm useless.

I have never done that, I might give that a try this year.

Me TOO!!!
Yesterday my boss called me a "Lame Duck"
For the last week and half I've been asking "what do you need before I leave" twice a day and doing nothing more than the bare minimum. But, they know that when I come back in September I'll be good to roll and get back to the 10 hour days.

[wh..sh]

I will miss all you fuckos since I will have to lurk around here for at least a week... sigh...
Empty bar and all the possibilities!

[FIGJAM]

Heavt drinking will help with the withdrawal symtoms Woosh!

I am on it, sir! I admit... if I get on the internet, I can probably get lot of my stuff done.

[tummler]

Keep thinking of posting a question about Alex and Allyson Grey at the end of every thread. "Are Alex and Allyson Grey selling this ticket?"

Can tell I am giddy and overexcited because it seems hilarious to me, the way adding "in bed" seems so funny to some people when they read fortune cookies. Can tell I haven't lost it because I haven't done it yet.

[theCryptofishist]

Ah, one thin reed's graps on sanity. And I still can't type.

Must sleep. If possible. Van to load and other matters to take care of...
