• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

ThreadBot is the only bot on the forum. He periodically looks at the Verizon Media board and deems threads as “hot” (usually by a certain number of replies in a certain time frame).

He informs us when a hot thread is posted and then we decide if we want it to post on our site. We are working out the kinks, but we want to make sure that we scrape everything interesting off that board for the benefit of our community here.

He’s a very good boy.
 
ThreadBot represents an indestructible paragon of relentless objectivity destined to be the first "self-aware" of TFSF's metal masterminds. @Croot_Overlord be sure to have a remote self-destruct portal in place IF it starts showing early signs of liberalism. Things to watch for: (1) Lowering of Processing Power (2) Lying (3) Cheating (4) Stealing (5) More lying (6) Body odor (7) Small, very small dick or flat chested depending on gender identification (8) Complaining and blaming others (9) Wants to practice throwing bricks (10) Promotes giving everyone a trophy so no one is offended.
