    "Must be a slow day at The Resourceless Zone" :confused: is there other kind of day there? RZ has been dead for a long time now. ;)

    I'm actually a little surprised there isn't a movement to open it back up for status checks. They always had plenty of people to attack when they had that option.

    Their lame attempts at derailing the thread with beer jokes and off topic banter is fascinating to watch.

    Does that work at RZ?

    Not a problem for them at RZ. Jokes are not allowed. Beer is not allowed. Beer Jokes are not allowed. The people that love beer jokes are not allowed. See a pattern here??

    Yes, most of the editors who come here are not resource zone editors. Maybe some of us like to have a little fun. Why do you think enjoying a thread titled "Why do people join a forum that they don't like?" is derailing the thread? Seems more like they're saying they do like it to me. :)

    'Twas not me claiming derailment. My post was very firmly focused on beer jokes. :)

    You guys like beer? Would never have thought. I had you down as those who sit in the park drinking wine out of paper bags. Next you are going to tell me the rumours about the goats are not true...

    Nah, minstrel's not a party pooper. He's just waiting to drink his beer from the Stanley Cup. Go Senators!

    Or maybe he just needs a little of my mystical fairy dust cheer. It's better than beer any day of the week. Throwing fairy dust cheer on minstrel. :D
