exactly.

we had a pretty narrow list of what we didn't want to see at all, or what should only be found in a clearly indicated thread.

Roleplay games/pool parties and jokes you got from your email... that was really about it.

random silliness is a vital part of what makes boardania fun. gherkin shurikens, glowing badgers and pissing monkeys are boardanian.

threads like "The Mended Drum" where everyone gets to pretend to be the librarian, or 'The Joke Thread' are specialist threads that shouldn't be hijacked because they're dedicated for a set purpose.

The point of a 'fools guild' forum was to give the non-boardanian silliness a place to go where it could live in peace and frolic in the care free halcyon days of it's youth.

It was NOT, so far as I understood it, to put EVERYTHING funny/silly in. God save us, if that's the case then we might as well do away with the boardanian forum and half the guidelines to boot.
