    I always liked this thread. But I don't think the comics are as funny as they were. That said, I'm actually finding Cork boys trolling very funny at the moment. The level of anger is incredible for something that should be so trivial.

    However, I'll get bored of it shortly and if this thread dies as a result I'll be disappointed. The fact that business cat was posting them did make it a little funnier.

    So Cork boy, thanks for the entertainment, but maybe give it up before the joke gets old?

    Asperger's/ASD/Autism is not a catch all term. Some people are just jerks, there doesn't need to be a syndrome or diagnosis!

    PS - Keep up the business cat posts :)

    Apologies if I caused any offence to you or anyone else, genuinely wasn't attempting to have a dig, I will edit my post accordingly.

    Mods.

    I'd like to apologise for my part in all this bullshyt.

    I'll fully admit I'm being a bit precious about the thread. I started posting the BC strips in the YLYL thread a number of years ago when I came across them as i really enjoyed them, people got a kick out of them so I started this thread to allow people to track it from the beginning and to keep them all in the same place so yes, i do feel a level of ownership about the thread. I started it and have maintained it so i think that much is understandable. Someone in a previous post mentioned that im annoyed about someone else getting the "thanks" for posting. It's nothing to with thanks, if that was all I wanted I'd just post them in the YLYL thread which has a much higher viewership.

    Our own little Business Cat sub community has grown over the years on the back of this thread as is evidenced by peoples responses to cork boy trying to insinuate himself into proceedings but despite repeated requests he is ignoring what the majority want and is continuing to cause derailing of the thread.

    He clearly does not have the wherewithal to see this, perhaps he is trolling, perhaps he has aespergers or similar, but it's abundantly clear that it's not going to stop which means the thread will continue to be derailed and we will end up with pages of crap like the last page.

    It saddens me a bit that the weekly bit of fun and speculation about what will happen next will have to end as the only feasible option is that a no chat rule be introduced. Otherwise we are going to go around in circles as CB has said he is not going to stop so there is nothing else that can be done.

    That's my final thoughts on the whole thing. It's been a huge amount of fun but unfortunately, like most things with Boards these days, all good things must come to an end due to the actions of the few.

    I'll continue to post the strips as they are released anyway as I'll be damned if I let him ruin that much.

    Best regards,

    BC.

    :cool:

    This is hilarious. "I'll be damned if I let him ruin that much." is right up there with "Get off my lawn". You go, girl!

    I think Cork Boy should keep it up, the entitled whining of all the butt hurt moaners has been far funnier than the comic posted here.

    Unless the Business Cat poster on Boards is actually Tom Fonder, the creator of the comic, then all he/she is doing is stealing someone's work by posting the comic directly here instead of linking to it and depriving the creator of revenue.

    The fact that people are getting annoyed about who gets the thanks for copy/pasting a comic from another website to here just shows how sad our society has become. Bloody snowflakes.

    EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not saying that the Business Cat Boards user is looking for thanks but a number of other people in the thread have referenced the Thanks system, saying they were annoyed they gave their Thanks to CB instead of BC or that Thanks could be used as a voting system of sorts.

    It's not about the thanks. Why would you think it is?:confused:
    Business Cat postings over the last 3 years, took the cartoon and added to it by virtue of who was posting it here. Anyone who was purely interested in the comic could, and probably does, go to the source and access it from there.

    This was a mini-community built up around the persona of the poster.

    CB is intentionally telling that community that they have no respect for it. It isn't about sharing the comic, it is about disrupting the practices within the community in order to become "significant" in some way.

    It comes across to me as someone who wants attention, of any sort.

    "Snowflakes"? Thats always a term that indicates a high degree of discussion skills. Its really not that hilarious. Its simple a child has been told he is annoying the majority so said child decides to keep being annoying rather than ya know stop. This is pretty pre-pubescent and akin to a little boy (maybe from Cork) pulling girls hair repeatedly in the hope that he will get her attention. Or that gobshíte "class clown" who just annoys everyone and is a nuisance but thinks he is hilarious so he must be.

    Is there any scope for a mod putting in a no off-topic chat discussion which specifically states you can't discuss who posts the actual comic as this is going around in circles and doesn't show any signs of stopping.

    FWIW, I personally agree with BC on this - I wouldn't have known about the comic if it wasn't for him/her and up until recently there was a nice community in here who posted their thoughts on the comic.

    This thread really takes the biscuit. The amount of self entitlement in sickening, and is actually funnier than any of the BC strips, which I personally find about as funny as some of the comments made here. Some posters really need to get over themselves. "Mini" community indeed.

    How come they're posting so quickly after each other? It's almost as if it's the one person and they're logging off and reposting it themselves under a different user name. And God I hope this is true. Imagine it was a big wum by business cat creating a second profile and having a fight with himself and getting half the community on board. If Andy Kaufmann was still alive it's what he'd be doing!

    The strips are released about the same time every week. I've just been doing what I have been doing since the start. If other individuals are posting them before/after me one can only assume that said individual is sitting at home furiously mashing f5 to try and get in there first.

    On another note I recently signed up to be a patron of Tom Fonder. Its only $5 a month and can be cancelled at any time. Best thing about it is that there is extra hidden content for patrons, all the previous strips have an additional panel to complete what's released publically, some very funny bits in them. I'd recommend it if people want to give a little bit back to the creator.

    Ahem ahem ahem, posting AFTER you? Puh-lease :rolleyes:

    On the subject of "furiously" mashing F5: I'm not the one who got furious and secondly... if only there was some sort of way in 2018 to be notified of when a website posts new content!!!! While such sci-fi technology doesn't currently exist, looks like I'll have to sit here crying and mashing F5 furiously!
