Or just ignore the supposed power numbers hold over you and focus on trying to post useful content.

It's not hard to rack up numbers on here. But high numbers mean nothing. Some of the people with lowest numbers have posted the most useful/interesting content. Some of the people with high numbers have just cluttered up threads with "Me to! LOL!"

Having a topic moved to Bilge isn't an insult, it's supposedly an attempt to keep forums focused. Now why other completely personal threads such as yours weren't also moved to Bilge at the same time is something to ponder.

But it's best to just not take anything personal around here.

Your carefully crafted posts will get lost because there was a poodle named "Tiki" on an episode of Mad Men or Trader Vic's is now selling Mai Tai scented sun tan oil.

Your excellent insight on a topic will get bowled over by someone else's bad pun and picture of a baby wearing a diaper made of waffles.

Your jokes will be taken as fact and piss off someone who has nothing better to do with his/her life than looking for ways complete strangers can make him/her angry.

Your amazing art work crafted with much skill and time and expense will be ignored and get eclipsed by a new $125 Made In China cast resin Disneyland Enchanted Tiki Room goo-gaw in a limited edition of 75,000.

And on top of that the rainbows stopped shooting out of Tiki Central's ass a long time ago and no one here is friendly anymore, everyone is mean all the time...And some other hysterical nonsense I can't recall.

This place is pretty much what you make of it.

I made a nice doily which hides a water stain on an end table I haven't gotten around to refinishing.
