Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.


Concerns?

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

even if that's true, who says "i'm not gonna watch any tv because the cable company doesn't let me buy channels ala carte"?

*raises hand*

Uh, a lot of people are dropping their cable companies for that exact reason and now they're watching shows online with Netflix or whatever. I got rid of cable a year ago and I don't miss it at all. I was spending to much money, and more importantly I was spending too much time surfing through three hundred channels of utter crap whenever I got bored.

uh, that's not the same thing as saying "i'm not watching tv anymore"

that's getting your tv shows elsewhere. gj with your reading comprehension there though

...I actually do that. I haven't had a cable subscription in years because I only watched like 5 channels.

I don't have a cable subscription either for a similar reason, but I didn't throw a tantrum and flounce out of cable in a huff because the service didn't perfectly cater to me. And that's basically what some RPers are doing with regards to icons.

I think the point is more about the huffy flounce than the deciding not to have cable. I mean, unless you constantly whine to anyone who will listen about how unfair the cable company is being to you because of the packages they offer.

I did about ten years ago. I don't watch television at all now and I never miss it. I was sick of being fleeced for 300 channels worth of garbage when I watched 5-6 regularly at the most. It was preferable to do without those 5-6 and not spend the money than to keep up with their stupid price hikes and the monopoly the companies have on content.

So this is more common than you think.
