[quote name="Vested Id"][quote name="Furcifer"][quote name="Vested Id"]Going to need confirmation that this is a joke[/quote]Christ, I'm glad <i>you</i> said something, because I was starting to think I was the only one who wasn't in on it. I see regular posters here mention a Discord server from time to time,[/quote] I did this once as a joke, but Pinback has unironically mentioned a discord server. [quote]so I figure there's some group behind the scenes that coordinates these tiresome little Kaufmanesque performance art pieces, hoping those of us not in the know will complain so they can sni<strike>gg</strike>cker at us for being a such a bunch of <i>rubes</i>. The name "Clownshoes" is certainly like a big, honking red nose pointing to the whole thing being a goof. And the idea that the hosting provider is clutching their pearls because somebody dropped a couple of n-bombs in the forums is pretty goddamn ridiculous as well. But Jonesy did endorse this Clownshoes character on multiple occasions. If this is all a big joke, I suggest you guys pull it back before you start actually driving casual readers away, because you're starting to make yourselves look like genuine idiots. And if it's not a joke... well, it was a good run, boys.[/quote] Agree on all points, thanks for posting this. <a href="https://caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=199636">I lean toward it being a joke</a>. I don't like being all sincere at the 'trops, the last few years of posting to the contrary.[/quote]
