"Clever" pun

[denise]

Allegedly-funny "news" post from site owner trading upon site culture in such a way as to indicate that they almost, but not quite, get it.

Comments

[tehkittykat]

Demand that site owner implement bugfix or new feature that no one cares about right now.

[fairlight]

Polite and incredibly boring explanation of logical reasons why new feature will be positively deadly to the servers.

[azurelunatic]

Follow-up with a few points that were missed in the above explanation.

[pauamma]

Complaint listing accounts for which the requested feature appears to be available. Demand for general availability, or at least for availability to commenter.

[elf]

Reply ignoring content of post while claiming initial commenter status.

Edit insisting that initial commenter status existed when comment was begun.

[azurelunatic]

Incredulity at "funny" claims.

Sudden realization of local date. Annoyance about relative timezones and owner using owner's own timezone without consideration for international users who thought they were through with all date-based silliness for the year.

Huffy signoff.

[highlander_ii]

Smarmy reply indicating commenter should 'lighten up' and not give site owner such a hard time.

Over-enthusiastic praising of site and owners and all others 'involved'. ASCII smilie.

[rebelsheart]

Complaint that such jokes were funnier in the old days. Whining plea for the return of the original site owner.

[fairlight]

Enthusiastic pimpage of site built on similar but vastly improved code by kinder and far more intelligent people than current owners of site.

[owl]

Request to remove self to other site permanently given claimed superiority.

[fairlight]

Explanation that self only remains present on site because of friends who incomprehensibly insist upon remaining there, despite the abundance of idiots, replete with implication that above commenter is one of same.

[redbird]

Muttering about the good old days, consisting mostly of RFC numbers and an obscure mention of pigeons.

[(Anonymous)]

Very large picture of a small boat sinking under a large load.

[beckyzoole]

Acknowledgment that previous post was from me. Self-disparaging comment about forgetting how to log in. Japanese-style smiley.

[quinfirefrorefiddle]

Critique of pun. Further critique of pun "humor" in general, and a brief psychological evaluation of the stereotypical pun-employer, completely ignoring content of post and identity of poster.

[fairlight]

Inquiry as to the academic institution where CP received hir psychology degree.

Cat macro.

[quinfirefrorefiddle]

Snobby listing of credentials. Comment on cuteness of cat.

[fairlight]

Disdainful expression of surprise at falling standards at once-powerful institution.

Multiple obnoxiously large page-breaking photographs of cats stolen from various Russian-speaking communities.

[fairlight]

Cat macro.

Overused phrase that was funny for fifteen minutes on 4chan sometime last year.

[jd]

Frustration and burnout.

[fairlight]

Inside joke that will confuse everyone who doesn't know both posters (and many of those who do).

[john]

Admiration of icon.

[fairlight]

Completely irrelevant and bordering on inappropriate praise for above commenter's NSFW fic.

[profit]

Equally irrelevant comment by above commenter's partner to the effect that above commenter is wasting too much time on televised media and needs to go back to the kitchen to cook dinner.

[fairlight]

.jpg of sandwich.

[pauamma]

Decade late link to dubiously legal copy of tangentially relevant comic hosted on malware-infested dark web site.

[azurelunatic]

Expression of confusion.

[owl]

Equally confused flame.

[fairlight]

Aggressively cheerful joke at flamer's expense.

[denise]

Belated admonition to maintain cheerful friendliness in comments to official posts, directed at user who is attempting to clean up flame war, not original flamer. Freezing of wrong comment.

[azurelunatic]

Long-winded complaint dredging up years-old bad blood.

[fairlight]

Subtle hint reminding commenter of event at which sie was present. Expression of surprise that commenter is not the person who posted original discussion to the qdb.

[pauamma]

Entitlement-laden demand for elucidation.

[fairlight]

Aggressively cheerful explanation of half the joke in very, very small words.

Deleted comment.

[pauamma]

Misogynist rant against overeducation.

[profit]

Amusement at above commenter's assumption that the commenter to whom he (presumably) is replying is female.

[pauamma]

More puns, including some off-color ones.

[fairlight]

Filthier puns.

[pauamma]

Worse puns.

[profit]

Long, boring, rambling dissertation about the many ways in which site security fails and has been compromised by advertising, including references to past site controversies and allegations that site's past attempts to censor user-created content were attempts to make the site more attractive to advertisers, including lengthy discussion of ways in which active users' potentially identifying and/or embarrassing information is being collected and used.
