Wow...three posts in one day...lol

Okies.

Deep thinking here, combined with self-analysis (huh...notice how analysis starts with 'anal'? XD )

Okies.

I no need the sporky boards.

So, sporky boards go away now.

Yep--taking my own advice--if I think it's dumb, then what am I doing there?

Anyhow. That's it. Carry on. *g*

But why the adjective 'sporky'?

The activity of 'Sporking' becomes 'sporky' because I am in an irreverent mood. ^^

...What's sporking mean in this context?

It's slang that started in...I believe...[livejournal.com profile] deleterius (I likely have the user name spelled wrong), or at least that's where I first saw it used excessively.

'Sporking' is essentually tearing into someone else's idea or character or way of playing on a rant board. it came about probably from people joking about getting 'sporks' (those spoon-fork combos some fast food chains provide) and going after a particularly offensive player and repeatedly stabbing them with said sporks.

BRPS is not nearly so harsh and cruel as Deleterius, but we've all seen some of the doozies there--hence, 'sporky boards'. Because a lot of the posts really do just tear into folks.
