...home team at the moment is the spawn of Satan. In Hockey news, there are currently 4 teams which suck more than the Coyotes. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I'm looking at you Blackhawks, Blue Jackets, Not So Mighty Ducks, and Sharks. In NBA news... *points, laughs, mocks the Lakers*

Two pieces of important news! First of all, after much hard work by Tech Ops, we are finally running on the latest version of xenforo with updated add-ons and mods! Things will look a bit different and, well... there is one minor issue. The site banner didn't transfer over because we totally...

Yes, I know I sometimes make joke announcements. This is not one of them. We take violations of the TOS, especially surrounding potential illegal NSFW content, very seriously. While we may and do discuss topics related to such material, and may refer to the existence of said material...

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the permanent banning of two accounts from our site. We never ban anybody without a thorough review, and attempt to give the users in question every opportunity to amend their behavior. Some say we are far too patient in this regard, but we feel it...

We have discovered a misconfiguration with the site that is affecting email delivery, specifically with 2fa, notifications, and the like being sent to gmail accounts. A fix is in work at this time, and it should be corrected within several days (it involves DNS settings, so it takes a while to...

What features would people who regularly post and/or enjoy alternate histories like to see implemented? I am currently considering adding additional subforums to give people the ability to sort their timelines and such better, but are there any things that you, the community, want to see? I...

It is with a heavy heart that the Boot is forced to make the following announcement. In these difficult times, as inflation runs rampant, war rages in Europe, and Justin Trudeau has run out of unique socks, a new and grave threat has arisen to threaten the future of this forum. Many expert...

Welcome, friends! All who post in this thread shall receive the blessings of St Fauci (PBUH) upon their digital selves and be thus vaccinated against the dread threat of digital novel coronavirus 2022. Some restrictions apply, side effects include but are not limited to a silly title, dancing...

The user LindyAF has received a 3 month forum ban for sockpuppetry intended to falsely implicate another user for the same. The sock has been permabanned. If LindyAF contacts us with an explanation for the situation that is satisfactory the ban will be reviewed, if he fails to do so in 3...

Chapter One It had once been a rather lovely summer nature camp right at the foot of the Longfellow Mountains. The low rolling mountains could be seen just to the west, and the trees were mostly quite lovely this time of year. There had been a rather large lake at the center of the camp...

Thanks to the increase in activity, the number of users, and the number of posts, our hosting costs have gone up to the next tier. Our growth has been slow but steady, and we're really pleased to see it! If you aren't already a subscriber, consider this a great opportunity to become one and...

OK, let me make something very clear. When Christians speak of 'love of money', we are NOT talking about legitimately acquired wealth, nor about wanting to be paid a fair price for goods and services and labor, nor about investing wisely and saving across generations. Love of money involves...

OK folks, I know people are getting heated, things are going to hell in a handbasket, and emotions are running high. I get it, I really do. I even agree with a great deal of it. But I am seeing an increase in personal animosity between posters rather than discussion of topics, even heated...

...is not a true threat, and thus would not count as incitement to violence. 'We should go hunt down Politician X and <insert ultra-violence here>' *may* be a threat, and in general will be treated as a civility violation. 'Politicians who support X should be shot' is *not* legally a threat...

Saw the comment about all modern churches being ugly... This is my parish church, finished in 2016. We are currently in the middle of completing the interior. This includes magnificent artwork on the vaulted ceiling of the nave and transept, as well as on the apse. Stained glass windows...

Due to a glitch with our domain renewal (I had an idiot moment and forgot to update payment information) we were briefly offline. The issue has been resolved.

I can't believe I'm posting a thread about the NBA. I don't even much like basketball to be honest, but... my hometown team is in the Finals and just won game 1. Better, they won it clean, with none of the usual thuggery I associate with Basketball. And Milwaukee is where my family is from...

When the Boot makes a mistake, the Boot owns up to it. The Boot accidently set a temp ban a month too long for a member for violation of our rules and failed to notice this. The temp ban has now been manually lifted after being in place for two weeks longer than it should have. The Boot would...

Chapter 1 Everything was black. Darkness, impenetrable, inscrutable, ineffable… darkness. There was nothing. I felt confined in this darkness, I felt suffocated, choked, compressed. The darkness was a physical thing, pressing against me, binding me, trapping me. The darkness was more than...
