Administrators Eric Posted August 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 24, 2021 Bears more than a passing resemblance to the TBS logo.

Swampfox762 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Is interesting. I can see where you might think that. The "gear" thing on the bottom of his, and the rounded top on his...Probably not. But I hear ya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Looks like a gear and a hard hat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not accusing the guy of anything. It just strongly reminded me of a combination of my logo and arf.com's logo, but like I said, that could be a coincidence. The similarities just caught my eye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intro music is from the TFL Truck channel. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got banned over there as well, many moons ago, because I corrected one of the mods all the time when he gave bad reloading advice.

Fog Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'm thinking of a lecture I heard, can't remember if it was in person or maybe a TED thing. Anyway, it was about commonality of appearance, design, shape and even function across seemingly unrelated areas of technology. Basic geometry finding it's way into every element of the built world and every corner of the natural universe. In a way it's as simple as a tire is round, as anything that rolls or spins is round, at least on the axis even if projections are present that don't have a round form. So a basic form representation of parts specific to one type of technology will resemble parts from another area. Hopefully that makes sense. I'll probably read this tomorrow and go "What is that idiot talking about?"..."Wait! I wrote that?" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice though that they didn't put any plumbing or electrical in the block walls and the framing they nailed up in the interior seemed too shallow for it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of "enjoying" that responsibility gets lost quickly. You have to face stress and deal with it in the interest of the board and not how you feel about the topics or members. Takes a lot of composure. I'm owner, admin and mod in my day trading chat room. I found a loophole in the chat software that removes my name from the owner / admin / mod group and any indication of that. Many members don't even know that it is my chat room. Same with my mods. None of them can be identified easily. The only user that stands out in its own group, is my self-coded bot. That thing is perceived as being neutral. This configuration needs basically zero moderation. I didn't have ANY fighting, name calling, trolling in 2 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBO Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Yup, being a Moderator is a truly thankless job. I turned down several offers as I want to enjoy my time on a board. I mod'd one single forum on a board that unfortunately had some "high maintenance" type trouble makers. That taught me if you mod any board or forum it will be a true challenge to enjoy the board more than feeling the weight of working it. That's why I'm not real critical of moderators on a board, tough hat to wear. Respectfully ymmv 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Once upon a time I was active on another board and in fact was invited to come on over to TBS to enjoy its “Caterday” thread as well. Don’t recall being warned about anything there, just signed in less and less as characters whose participation I enjoyed disappeared for whatever reasons. Tried to go onto the site recently and all had changed. Gave it up as a lost cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
