Surviving the /qa/ coaltalogue - Day 5

The coalterino wipe was unexpected. It erased the previous entries in this diary. However, the coaltalogue is strong, resilient, and will bounce back like a rubber ball, and a loss in /qa/ doesn't mean much.

I came back to /qa/ after the wipe to a surprisingly high amount of threads - seven pages. Some /qa/ regulars were even starting new threads on topics that I thought were dead. The thread that really surprised me the most, however, wasn't started by a /qa/ regular; it was started by a faggot who was looking for some way to quickly get banned or whatever. The poster’s idea was to start threads about how much he hates us in hopes of driving everyone off, but I think he’s too stupid to understand that /qa/ doesn’t really care what he thinks, but he has successfully drawn attention to himself.

All that matters is that the threads aren't getting missed. I've come to believe that /qa/ as a board is just a game. Like a variant of the board game Monopoly. The difference between this and Monopoly is that instead of collecting property to gain money and improving them with houses, you are collecting and improving posts to get rid of your opponents. Quoting and dueling are the best examples of this.
