The Fran Points Program!

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

What did the tooth brush want to become when he grew older?

A broom.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman: "Where's the self-help section?"

She said that if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

 

[Fran]

Touche.

2 fran points for that one. DUDE, only one joke.

OKAY... TODAY'S NEW CHALLENGE/ACTIVITY:

Coming up in a minute

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Two eggs sitting on a kitchen table.

One of them spots a whisk and asks: "What's that?"

The other egg looks puzzled and replies: "Beats me"

 

[Fran]

DUDE, I said only one joke. Seriously.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE/ACTIVITY...

Okay, what do you think of the current state of SHH!? I mean, the "Golden Days" are clearly gone, and certain recent events have made many people leave this place. And certain staff run this place kind of... odd. But anyways, tell me what you think of SHH! at the moment.

I know that certain crowds come and go depending on what the latest hero movie is coming, but I think there is always a good crop of posters at any given time. I ride the ebb and flows and thankfully have been able to find a good group of posters to hang with at any given time. The lonely times are never for very long.

I don't know what it would take for me to leave here, I seem to be on the outside of most political episodes so they don't affect me as much as other people. I know that there are plenty of good posters around that I don't think the Hype is going to fail anytime soon. It is still my number one board and I consider it to be my primary place of residence.

Well I have been here since 2003 And cruised through from time to time before that, ahh Spiderman Hype. It is amazing to see the revolving door around here. It's a type of evolution. There have been OG posters who have left but it seems that great new posters show up to take there place. I have seen great posters spin out of control and new posters, who must still be wearing pull ups with some of the crap they posted, turn out to be great posters in the long run. If we all think about what we type before we hit submit and show a little more curtisy toward each other, I think we can make broader strides. Mods are mods and nothing has changed. Rules have gotten a little more strict , but nothing that we haven't brought on ourselves. I guess I'm a little lucky because I have kept my nose clean all these years. I think we could trim the fat a little, yeah I'm talking to you James Bond Board, but all and all I love this place and plan to be here as long as I can.

frantabulous is mad at me

[Fran]

Nah, you can still give your two cents.

SHH is the perverbial "school" except with no graduation. Each year a new class if you will joins while some of the older class disappears.

The older class tends to shun, mock most of the new class. Sometimes you have those in the new class who can elevate themselves and fit in with the older ones.

Then the older class relays of tales of former exploits of years ago and the new class rolls their eyes or feel out of the loop.

Then the new class becomes the older class and the cycle continues.

While mods like Fire, Hunter are pretty good mods. Newbs aren't familiar with the coolness that was Daisy. I'm sure when Fire and Hunter are eventually demodded and mods such as Ice-Man or JAL come along, tales of how cool Fire and Hunter and how much cooler they were than the present ones.

No Fran points required Frannie. This one was on the house.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

the hype is what you make of it, and that is all you can do.

 

[Erzengel]

You can only do so much with the material given.

 

[BRUTAL]

What does one do with an now expired pile of franpoints?

 

[Fran]

I'm in talks with certain vendors to allow them to be redeemed.

The end of humanity.

 

[BRUTAL]

I have been giving out personal point to certain folks, maybe I'll convert them to BRUTAL Points and give them to myself.

 

[Fran]

We'll have to talk about a currency conversion. My people will contact yours.

I've been around since 2005 and spent most of my early years in the Superman Forums where I had to learn to fend for myself as fanboys flipped the switch on a revolution.

More recently I have slid into community and I have actually been welcomed with arms wide open and accepted for the most part. I now prefer to come into community first before checking out any of the runoffs, such as the Superman or Batman forums.

I think like anything else The Hype is still growing and learning. I think there is always room for improvement but in relation to many other boards The Hype is without a shout of a doubt, top notch.

The good thing about The Hype is that if you don't like it for whatever reason, you don't have to post, nevermind login. The choice is yours. It's a Hypeocrisy.

Replace the MP3 player with a 1G iPod, and you're on the right track

 

[BRUTAL]

How much for the Inflatable Harley Quinn?

 

[Fran]

...Inflatable?

 

[Erzengel]

Do you have a spreadsheet where you catalog all your Fran Points?

I'd hate for someone to cash in some fraudulent Fran Points.

 

[BRUTAL]

...Inflatable?

Oh... that's just Artist_Chick

 

[Fran]

I have a running tally on my laptop of this current contest.

Oh, and BRUTAL:
