I'm almost tempted to resub just for the site beta...and the insanity that it is going to be. At the same time, that would also mean I'd be resubbing specifically to see a bunch of immature gamers post pictures of different types of dicks everywhere. I'd be knowing that while buying another sub.

Goddammit...so tempting...

No one will be posting dicks.

Or at least, anyone who posts dicks will be first on the list of people to test the banning system out on.

If you post pornography during the beta you will be moderated.

This isn't the Giant Bomb launch for goodness sake!

We're allowed to fill the wiki with nonsense though, right?

Totally. Go nuts. Just no porn or gore or anything too illegal.

Doesn't that mean we can spam the forums? And doesn't that in turn mean that the beta will be pure virtual chaos?

gerd yer loins

LET'S GET CRAZY Y'ALL!

I'm expecting GIF-fest 2k12 will be occurring. And I, for one, shall enjoy every sec of it.

Can I just get a quick confirmation of what information is kept and what will be wiped after the beta? Are people supposed to just edit the hell out of pages and make lists and guides and shit, knowing that it won't be permanent? I may have missed this being discussed by Dave and the crew.

Thanks

Sure. Go nuts. It'll all be wiped at the end of the beta anyway. The goal is for people to break things. Chaos is a good thing - it'll lead to things being broken.

@Benny: The beta is completely separate from the main site. People can go nuts, have fun doing things they wouldn't normally be able to do, and it'll all be wiped at the end of the beta. Nothing that people post is being kept.

@Phatmac: ALL OF MY ANIME GIFS IN ONE POST.

@MattyFTM: Excellent, thanks for the clarification!

Are you guys ready to read all the "no discussion value" topics I've built up inside over the last 4 years?

@yoshimitz707: Haven't Hizang taken most of those already?

@yoshimitz707:They can't be any worse then the shit Hizang puts out. I'm still reeling from his "DO YOU GUYS LIKE BREAD?" thread.

Wha!? I missed that one! I DO like bread! How will the world know now?

@MattyFTM: So I can create a thread title that says penis 50 times?

Edit: also if I trash wiki pages completely, it won't matter, right?

@AlisterCat said:

Sure, one of the things Dave wants to know is how long text boxes can go before lagging or breaking the site.

@AlisterCat: Not if I do it first.

@ZombiePie: Well that was my reasoning behind it, actually. I wouldn't get any pleasure from such a thing... normally.

@Cloudenvy: Put a 56K warning in the title.

Is peeing satisfying?

@coribald: That is one of my fave gifs ever. Perhaps a preview of what is to come in the beta.

I am currently consulting with my attorney to determine where the line between "illegal" and "too illegal" is. Expect an answer shortly.

tomorrow as in Friday?

@Fistfulofmetal: Tomorrow, as in today. Probably a hour or so from now so that Dave is still in the office for a little while after the beta goes up.

Cool.

Happy that Dave tweeted back at me when I asked when it would go live, but sad that he didn't actually tweet back at me :'(

GET YOUR MOSAIC BROWSERS READY GUYS AND GALS.

Is posting pictures of Leigh Alexander considered pornography???

Just kidding.

@Fattony12000: <>

The fuck is going on in that photo? Is she topless and wearing just panties? That's what it looks like to me.

Serious question

Why? Why is it necessary to post that picture?

so...is this something you have to enable? or will it just be automagically the new Giant Bomb?

@Fattony12000

DAMMIT

I can finally upload my naked cartoon pussy album?

@preheatedbibby: There will probably be a separate link for us to go to, like beta.giantbomb.com, or something.

More than a Nip slip. You could fit a couple <>s in the amount of skin we shouldn't have seen from her. She must have gotten really cold while her dress got really warm because that thing barely stayed on all night. So awkward v.v

There will be so many dicks.

Wait, that came out wrong.

What's the consensus in dragons fucking cars?

It's pretty awesome.

Just a reminder, Dave got Jeff to write dumb 404 and 500 error pages so be on the lookout for those!

I do not remember this, and now I feel like I need to go back to the footage and confirm this actually happened. But I know it's a serious trap.

I'm pretty sure, yeah. Jeff mentioned something about it on twitter I think.
