let the monkey ban like three people, the signal/noise ratio is getting pretty lousy these days. this isn't a democracy anyhow-look at what happens when people have rights-AIDS, women voting, and it's illegal to beat your neighbor's kid for having shifty eyes.

the easiest way to gauge the health of the cage is to look at how often something unrelated to karaoke pictures makes it on lukeisback and also the arab-o-meter. the arab-o-meter applies for a bunch of people who say funny things but don't have much time to wade through shitty stuff. i thought running kyoto off was a huge mistake, his misanthropy, however insincere, was effective at holding back the barbarian hordes who post boring shit.

on the positive side of things, nobody's really deserted the place. there's also far too little attention being paid to the hilarious battle against wankus being waged by coochie monester. we're ignoring a potential cage-classic on this one to bitch amongst ourselves.

random will be back. big worm's got tons of potential but needs to avoid posting pictures like smartt did and starting identity-related controversies in every other thread.

shaddup needs to write something other than the equivalent of the simpson's kid who goes "ha-ha!" at every moment of misfortune and stop pissing me off.

trent needs to be banned ASAP.
