It's vile. It's so bubbly and cloying and happy. And you know what's really frightening? If you read enough of it, you begin to like it. It's insidious. Just like root beer.

Your description of this affliction immediately put me in mind of a scene from one of my favorite episodes of a classic scifi series, from which I herewith paraphrase.



IT'S THE MOST HIDEOUS CREATION EVER CONCEIVED.
IT WATCHES.
IT SAPS THE VERY SPIRIT.
AND THE WORST THING OF ALL IS I WATCH IT.
I CAN'T NOT LOOK.
IT'S LIKE A DRUG, A HORRIBLE DRUG.
YOU CAN'T RESIST IT.
IT'S AN ADDICTION.


AWESOME!!!!!

I love that classic Outer Limits episode.

"The machines are everywhere!"

Surely Good Mrs. Murphy shall follow me all the days of my life.

We have reached the Outer Limits of the website.

We have reached the Outer Limits of the website.

A website you can only reach... in The Twilight Zone.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

In the TrekBBS system, the posters are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The trolls, who stir up trouble, and the moderators, who execute the offenders. These are their stories.

*DOINK-DOINK*

 

[Melakon]

Mods should feel free to think of themselves as representing Starfleet's finest, and the rest of us are all the troublesome aliens they encounter on their voyages through life.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Sliding down the bannister of life, the mods will remember us as the thorns in their asses.

That's technically not possible as in every direction this board is surrounded by ads. It's the TrekBBS' very own version of the Kobayashi Maru test.

[Mr. Laser Beam]

All right, open 'er up.

Alright, you guys have had your fun, but this is pretty spammy, so...
