Welp, there goes the neighborhood

[Mrbloodworth]

oh god that f13 room is killing me. I'm decorating mine, will give link when I'm done.

Hey! What's wrong with wallpaper with skulls all over it!?

Also: anyone can decorate that room, so if you don't want to make your own feel free to throw some furniture around.

I accidentally removed the TV, and could not find it to get it back. I am sorry. In my sorrow, i started going to the most populated rooms on the room list, and body slamming, and kicking in the nuts ever single person i cam across. (<--- Not jokeing)

I hope that is enough to say, i'm sorry.

[Viin]

That was the best part!

 

[HaemishM]

Fuck this thing is slow to load. I'll have to look at it more later when I'm not busy.

[tazelbain]

It is crap.  Not even good for chatting.  The only interesting thing is: it is a 20% project.

[photek]

How is the PvP ?   

[Lantyssa]

What happened to the f13 room?  It's gone now.

Thing was running like a bear in IE at work, though.

[Mrbloodworth]

How is the PvP ?   

Good, no consent needed. I was doing it all last night. Even walked up to some cybering people during a touching moment, body slammed him, and kicked her in the nuts.

[Murgos]

...and kicked her in the nuts.

Google included Winger avatars?

Works for me. http://www.lively.com/dr?rid=-5249530916033536866

If that doesn't work, try this:

If that doesn't work, it's busted.

According to Ars Technica this is a 20% project:

Awesome. Explains alot.

What can I use to search for it?  "f13" used to work.  My browser set-up has some trouble with links, so I'd like to be able to find it in that fashion.

Edit: IE tab in SeaMonkey works much better than IE itself.  At least I have a partial work-around.

[Engels]

Odd, my account loads the room, but stays stuck saying 'Joining room...'

[Viin]

Sorry, I can re-add to search list - I had removed it 'cause random folk were going into it and I couldn't gank them.

[schild]

Hah.

[Mrbloodworth]

I can come body slam them and jank.

That's the black avatar description.

Make a screen cap of that.

[schild]

You know, if they were gonna do it, they should've made one of the tags 'negro' or 'pool's closed.' No sense in half assing it, particularly after adding that goddamn comb.

[schild]

Holy fuck. Check out the girl.

[Trippy]

This is what happens when nerds try to be hip

[schild]

This is what happens when nerds try to be hip

THERE'S NOTHING HIP ABOUT CALLING A BLACK GIRL A BOO. HOLY SHIT MAN. I CAN'T EVEN PULL THAT SHIT OFF.

I am flabbergasted.

[Trippy]

No I meant it's akin to McDonald's and their "I'd Hit It" ad. I.e. they are trying to be hip but have no idea what they are actually saying/what it really means.

With how much time google folks sit on the internet, they should really be quite aware of what a racial slur is. At least they're not trying to "take back" porch monkey. I guess. Ugh.

[NiX]

When did boo become a racial slur? I recall it being used to refer to a girlfriend or boyfriend. Of course they were probably better off using the word "shorty"

[Trippy]

I didn't know it was a slur either.

[photek]

Fixed and wiggas don't count. And I don't think its a racial slur either, but put in this context and the black avatars, I don't really know.

[schild]

Boo is slang for beauty. Or Beau. It's not used by anyone except the french and the carribeans.

I'm highly suspect of a google engineer having used boo in that way. And the only other Boo is the freaky black kid from To Kill a Mockingbird.

It might not have been racist per se, but then racism always depends on the source, doesn't it?

[NiX]

Horrible fix. I don't live in where ever it is that has horrible hip hop stereotypes, but up north the white to black ratio is something like 5:1 in terms of wanksters. Just because some black rapper coins the term, doesn't mean it HAS to refer to someone that is black.

You all are so out of touch with this generation it's appalling.

Schild: More so the person interpreting it. I've had people tell me I'm being racist just because the term I used is something THEY think is a slur. Even if the general consensus is that it's just a normal word. Society is broken like that.

[schild]

More so the person interpreting it.

Yes, obviously. But does it matter? Both of those descriptions are absolutely horrid. They should be ashamed.

[Tale]

first channel on the screen when i tried this thing

[Trippy]

Is there any sort of age consent/rating thing with these rooms?

[schild]

I didn't see one.

[tmp]

Both of those descriptions are absolutely horrid. They should be ashamed.

You just aren't fashionably attractive and impressive enough to dig that, yo. Word to your mother.

(wtf does that even mean...)

[Lantyssa]

My friend calls me 'boo' a lot.

It's certainly not a slur, but it would be jarring to come from someone without the cultural background.
