This thread has made me want a cacti. I believe I will go an obtain such a plant this afternoon.

Thank you all for the positive words! I wasn't aware McDonald's was such a good employer!
I may not like the food, but at least I'll be treated well!

NASCAR? Fuck NASCAR man.

What kind of race is it if every car is stock, no forced induction mind you, and they all have basically the same V-8 engine? It's a dick measuring contest is what it is!

Hey folks,

Everyone knows the job market is bad, and I'm not complaining about this by any means, but I just got hired at McDonalds. Now, I'm very grateful for this. But I'm also dismayed. McDonald's is basically everything I stand against. Processed and compacted disgusting food, pre-wrapped and deep fried. Awful.

I have no other choice than to work at this place. I mean, for Christ's sake, Waffle House turned me down. Waffle House. But that's life.

Does anyone have experience working at good ole' Micky D's? What should I expect?

Whatever you do don't say BOMB. If you say BOMB, the authorities will be contacted, and you will be arrested for saying BOMB.

This is very true. New Orleans is a fairly beautiful place when people aren't throwing up all over the place. It's certainly an interesting spot.

You will wake up without money, a wallet, or a car. Wooooo!

seems good an excuse as any, i wouldn't have even known it was mardi gras this week, but if it's a reason to get trashed i'll get trashed then

Bon jou!

I hope everyone is doin' fine today! I certainly know I am!

I was just wondering how many fellow NewGrounders are celebrating good ol' Mardi Gras this week? I know I am!
I know the fine folks at the NG office are!

Anyone else?

That's what I was thinking.

Maybe smaller isn't necessarily a bad thing.

All an edit button would do is allow you to fix your typos. Type better, problem solved.

Pretty much.

I'm not sure why this is still a debate. The staff has made it clear that they don't want an edit button. It's their call.

All forums have one. It's just Newgrounds that doesn't because they suffer massively from the "not invented here" syndrom, which isn't viable for a small company.

What are you on about? It's clearly viable for NewGrounds because we're still posting here.
I would hardly call NewGrounds small. Which leads to the reason we can't have an edit button.

Too big. Too many diverse personalities.

That's what I was thinking. Especially with all these hate threads.

I see this swiftly going up in flames.

Alright. People have been asking the staff this for close to a decade. They've said multiple times that it's not going to happen, so why is this even still a debate?

That Pauly D from The Jersey Shore would show up in a search for "fucking ass?"

That seems like common knowledge to me. I'm pretty sure they're all asses.

Well, that's the strange thing about it. I dragged your picture into the google image search and it came up with gay porn.
It's alright Kid. I accept you for who...or what...you are.

This, again, can be negated entirely by just reading your post carefully, or perhaps having the implementation of a "Post Preview" button.

What's wrong with some who simply commits a typo and goes back to fix it. You can still miss things in a proof read. An edit button would do no harm and would be quite handy, Which is why every ofther Message Board I've ever seen has one.

The problem is an edit button could cause a lot of harm.

An edit button is very easily abused. In a smaller message board, I could see it being no problem. But this is a huge message board. It would be nearly impossible to keep tabs on every thread here on NewGrounds, thus making an edit button a bad idea.

I'd say at most a preview button.

Stamper, what are you doing stamping on the BBS like that? You know we're all allergic to squid.

A redesign, friend.

It's beautiful, is it not?

In addition to my last post,

Kid, is there something you need to tell us?

At A few seconds ago, Erty wrote: I saw Kid twice in the same thread. *swoon*
Kid, can I be your Valentine stalker?

That was clearly Clark Kidd. It's ok, common mistake. They look very similar.

There should be a Kid fan club. Because who doesn't like them some Kid?

I'm sure the site you moderate on is much different than the NewGrounds community.

While we do have many mature and well read posters, we also have many spammers and trolls washed up from 4Chan or various other places.

While the link bug is a valid point, I personally believe that a single broken link is better than a hundred maliciously edited posts. That could just be me, but that's my opinion.

The only way I could see an edit button working is if there was a limit on how much of the post you could actually edit. As in a few characters.

Oh those two, always stirring up the gossip!

Don't mind me, I'm just your mild-mannered moderator Clark Kidd.

You will all get used to it.

It's been said that this redesign is going to be a continual process of updating, there fore, it's only going to get better from here.
I, for one, love the redesign. I feel its a splash of cold water on the face of the community. Exactly what we, or at least I, needed.

Then again, that could just be my opinion.
