JonCon's Red Beard

Yep. ^just there. Enter the username you want to block and voila.

You can't link in the signatures. I tried to link something and it resets when I hit "insert". ETA: now you can..

Just checked if I still had the same bug. I do. I write a post and a pop indicating a new post appears: If I click "show", it updates with the post. But, if I submit reply, it doesn't: "A Ghost"'s post should appear between mine and Cygne's or after the one I posted, but it's not there. Mine is the last one. I dunno if this is a problem with the board or with IP in general, but still, letting you know.

Can we have back the "toggle to html" mode? it was great for replying to different paragraphs from a quoted post. Unless we have it and I can't find it. :/

The multiquote sign (+) comes and goes

There is no "save content" feature, right?

I think I saw a bug (dunno if It has been fixed) When I write, and someone posts, the board shows it ("X people have replied"). If I hit that, it updates the board. But if I post, it doesnt' show me the new X posts.

  S/He's making a comparison with Martin and TWOW :lol:   (btw, Ran... new board is going to petrify little Jon, right?)

  Could be. Maybe they just want to travel South to Dorne to get it. And as Dorne is too hot, they need to first freeze the world.

  Could be. Maybe they're from a more "advanced" civilization.

This is not an issue but more a suggestion. It would be great if the links on the sidebar open in a new tab/page. Sometimes, one clicks by mistake and we lost the page. At least those who don't belong to Westeros.org.

  There are been theories around but I think the original intention is to prove they are intelligent beings and not just monsters. Geometrical figures require a bit more of brain than just lines, as they are mathematical.

Maekar's wife was a Dayne and Aegon V's was a Blackwood.

He has blood of the First Men and Dragon blood. Just like Dany :dunno:

Liking Ramsay as "a villain" is like when I see little kids thinking Darth Vader is awesome! because of the nice costume and the force tricks. "Look, mommy! he's the bad guy!". Vader is not just "the bad guy", he's a more complicated character with a more complicated background (putting aside the terrible adaptation done in SW 1, 2 and 3). Vader is a very appealing character not because he's a "villain" but because of his characterization. The fact the villains often end up being liked is not due to them being sympathetic. It's because they are, mostly of the time, more complex than the hero. People are naturally more inclined to do good than going around destroying galaxies and killing children. The Hero is a natural reaction: someone has to stop them. But at the end, we cheer for the hero, and we pity the villain, despite the villain represents the part of us that would like to go berserk and kick everybody's asses in one bad day. That's why villains HAVE to be credible. The villains belong to the part of our psyche we often deny. If villains don't come from our own, we can't really feel empathy towards them, specially when we see them (or mostly of them) realise their mistakes. When a villain is just a guy doing bad things, he's a plot device or he symbolises something, but he's not a character. That's why Ramsay is not a villain per se in ASOIAF. He's a plot device for Theon. Theon is the own "villain" in his story, and one that is now redeeming (a la Vader when he chose his own son at the end, and ended up saving himself). Ramsay in the shows is supposed to be a more complicated character, but the only thing he has is that he has been hyped and levelled up for the good guys not being able to triumph. Because if they triumph, the show is over.

"Then stop watching" means something like "don't bring around your food standards and leave me alone eating the crap I like!". Idem for "well, what you expect! it's game of thrones!" like GRRM's intention was to portray a world in which FUCK YEAH VIOLENCE! is the norm. :dunno:

Porne is like the black friend some racist people have. "I am objective, I didn't like Dorne!".

I think the numbers are fine for a cable network. Around 2012-2013 Glee and GoT had pretty much the same numbers and Glee was going down in ratings.
