Regarding the Offtopic section, I wouldn't say you haven't had plenty of chances to just... you know, have a "normal" chat and actually hang out. After I shut down that first thread—mostly because my inbox was absolutely slammed with reports about everyone insulting one another and breaking the site rules—my takeaway was basically that none of you have any self-control.
So, after all that chaos, someone decided to kick off yet another thread in Offtopic, probably thinking they could just pick up right where they left off since I might not notice where things were heading. Anyway, I figured I’d give you a pass and let you chat again, but of course, you immediately went right back to your old ways. You guys just can't help yourselves, and honestly, I don't think there's a moderator out there willing to cut you some slack and give you a space to socialize if you're constantly going to insist on breaking the rules.
As for the Offtopic area, you had your shot. Not just once, either, but several times. There just isn't room here for those kinds of "chat" threads.
I’ve shut the door on this twice already, and honestly, I’m doing it again right now. We all know things are just going to end up exactly how they always do, so... here's the key.
This isn't even close to being a parody. The movie is actually hilarious, like, seriously funny. It’s easily one of the better comedies I’ve sat through lately. And honestly, it’s not just because you have Sofia Vergara and Reese Witherspoon on screen—though that helps—but it’s the dialogue that really keeps the whole thing moving and makes it absolutely ridiculous. 🙂 Basically, the actresses just totally clicked, and they had such a blast together that you'll probably be dying of laughter the entire time. 🙂 Highly recommend. 😁
p.s. I have no clue why this is sitting at a 4.6 on IMDb, because realistically it deserves at least a 7, though if you ask me, I'd give it an 8. 🙂
@Justin Bieber, just saying No per your request isn't me being stuck-up or having bad manners. Real etiquette is actually following the instructions right there in the thread title, which says 'read the first post', something you clearly skipped over. You basically just wandered into the thread and dropped your request without even glancing at the rules for corrections or how you're supposed to ask for one in the first place.
If anyone's being arrogant or rude here, I guess it’s just you. Later

Alexander Thomas2, if it happens to be available, go for it. Just shoot a PM to Nice.
Hey there, quietcyclist33! 🙂 Look, please stop handing out "permission" to change usernames, because honestly, that's strictly for the admin crew who handle those things, not just any random guy on the forum.
Plus, you're actually giving people the wrong info here. Just don't do it anymore.
Regarding your report, we've looked into it and issued a warning where we felt it was necessary, I guess. Anyway, Leon, this whole thing you're pulling on the SB thread—you were doing the exact same thing recently over on the Indianapolis thread, right when I told you to knock it off. Once your ban is up, since your constant badgering basically landed you right back in the same spot, if you keep up this tone or try to turn another thread into your own little political playground, you’re going to be gone from the Beautiful Coast for good because we'll have to go with a partial ban. I already gave you a heads-up about this privately in a DM, so consider this your public warning before things get more permanent.
The Beautiful Coast isn't a political arena. What you're doing to people here is basically just terrorizing them with nonstop political topics and debates. You're trying to dictate or even forbid what people can talk about in specific threads, and honestly, that's just not okay.
If people want to talk about the new highway interchange being built in Indianapolis on the SB thread, then let them talk. People don't want to deal with politics bleeding into every single corner of this forum. Bottom line is, once your ban expires, if you come back with that same rhetoric, insulting and belittling everyone, you're out of the Beautiful Coast for good.

General Motors is still active, look, he even wrote that he's the only mod currently offline; he just doesn't post much here because he probably has actual important things to do ☕ and maybe math isn't really his thing, so getting banned over some tiny margin or zeroed out feels a bit awkward, plus he's kind of picky, so he won't be hanging at Pizza Hut with those losers, nor will he be chilling at the local dive bar 🙂 since he can't go to the fair—his dentist didn't fix his tooth properly—he's a well-raised guy, so don't start yelling or acting tough, which basically means we aren't going to see him anytime soon 🕺
🤣
You guys have seriously lost it 😬
Here I am, just watching from the sidelines, did you all happen to fall out of a tree or something? Rhyming isn't exactly my specialty, I'm trying to think of something, but I'm just hungry. 🤣 And while I eat, I can't stop chuckling, man, you people are insane, seriously. 😬
Trying to keep up here, it’s honestly not working for me, hahaha :P
Why on earth would you doubt she’s actually —get this—desperately hoping for it? 🙄 And who was talking about endless gossip? Or me—mind you—desperately hoping for it too? You following me? 🤣
Can we maybe change the name on this little gadget in Washington?
Just kidding, don't get all grumpy on me. 🙂
Look, like I told you, just because you aren't talking to her doesn't mean you shouldn't reach out about the change. There’s really no need for some middleman when it comes to switching a nickname. If you want to make the switch (to Henry Campbell5), just hit her up like I said, if you don't, then just don't.
Nah. Look, whether you actually talked to her or not, if you’re seriously looking to change your handle, just reach out to her following the instructions in the first post. It's not like anyone is forcing you to sit there and chat her ear off for hours on end—though, honestly, I highly doubt she's exactly dying for the conversation.
eek, look, you aren't getting unbanned anytime soon. I'm not saying it'll never happen, per se, but right now the decision is made and the timing just isn't there for you. Honestly, the way you're acting on this thread pretty much proves you haven't changed a single thing about the behavior that got you kicked off the Movie PDF board in the first place. Later
Here’s a PDF that should walk you through all the technical stuff for the forum. Honestly, you’re probably better off just reaching out to Nica directly.
Please bear with us regarding the nickname changes. Don't expect this to be sorted out instantly; sometimes you might actually have to wait a couple of weeks.
I mean, Nica probably has way more pressing matters to deal with regarding the forum since he's the admin. So, yeah, just hang tight. 🙂
The change for Gerald Gomez43 has been approved. I’m guessing you probably didn't reach out to Nice yet, just like we talked about before. Anyway, you can go with either the Gerald Gomez43 account or the Gerald Gomez43 M6 one—whatever works better for you, I guess. Just pick one and give Nice a shout.
Gerald Gomez43 said:Hey, is it possible to change my username from vera24 to nevera24?
It’s one of those rare instances where the sequel actually manages to outdo the original. 😁 I mean, I thought it was absolutely hilarious, and honestly, the whole theater was just cracking up the entire time. Definitely worth a watch if you need a laugh. 👍
redbear2 said:Alright, fine, I’ll bite. So insults only get punished if they're aimed directly at users here? I guess that makes sense on its own.
But what happens if we start trashing or insulting an entire nationality? Would that actually count as a punishable offense under these rules? If it doesn't, then what? And if it does, what kind of penalty are we talking about? Since we can't exactly tell if someone like Stephen Hawking is a user here or not, how do we know if a random person from that group is a user or not (not counting the neighboring countries where we obviously have plenty of regulars)? So, basically, everything is fair game and nothing gets flagged? Is that really how this works?
.
Look, if I seriously have to sit here and explain to you why there's such a massive difference between attacking a whole nation versus just insulting some actor, a singer, or even Stephen Hawking—it doesn't even matter who—then honestly, I feel like we've reached the point where there's really nothing left for us to talk about.
