I like to imagine /r9k/ as one big, multi-generational dysfunctional family all living under a giant house. There's food and clothes everywhere, siblings are screaming at each other, getting into fights, the parents are nowhere to be found (moot abandoned us for hiro, who neglects the house) and everything is *loud*. Music blaring in some rooms, living room TV at full volume, the aforementioned screaming. There are occasional safe spots where people get along (attic, basement, some closet nobody goes to etc.) but they're few and far between. Is it foolish to personify a board as inhospitable and faceless as this one? Maybe. It's cool to imagine, though.
STAY OUT.
