I think... this should be sticky'd.

Dearest Mods,
If possibly, please sticky this thread.
Yours Truly,
Anonymous

>cancer threads are looked down upon and discouraged.

Yeah, that's why they all hit 150+ replies without fail.
I don't like them either, but you have to be a moron to think you're in the majority with this rule.

hey guys you're not doing it right do it like this
come on guys
hey
guys
come on

agreed, this should be sticky'd pronto, m00t

All of this.

Let's get /r9k/ back to a general level of decency.

>but /r9k/ was never good!
Doesn't mean we can't fucking try.

SURE IS SAMEFAG IN HERE
SURE IS SAMEFAG lN HERE

>>12102091
>>12102094
There was a time when /r9k/ wasn't like this, though. And really, these threads always have been looked down on my the majority of users. I'm not crying about it, but this board was set up for a reason. /r9k/ is getting close to /b/ levels and I'd hate to see that happen. I'd rater have newcomers see this and post more original threads than see what's usually on the front page and just mimic it.

>>12102109
>but /9rk/ was never good!

Only true newfaggots think this.

Useful information for first time viewers? Sure

Does that make it right to fill up the first space with a sticky over original content? I think not.

>>12102130
A lot of boards have an intro sticky that allow new users to see what the suggested "rules" of that board are. I honestly wouldn't mind dealing with a stick if it meant less "So what is /r9k/ anyway?" and /b/ threads.

>>12102122
That they do.

>LOL ITS JUST LIKE THE PICTURE OF PENNYBAGS AND SCROOGE EXCEPT WITH /r9k/ INSTEAD OF /b/ LOLOLOLOLOLOL

And there's no chance in hell of a sticky. You all know that none of the mods give a shit about this place anymore.

>>12102148
>"So what is /r9k/ anyway?" threads

That's troll shit, bro.

>>12102150
It's worth a shot, at least. If anything it gets people talking about it and hopefully a couple of people read through

i wanted to get mad over this but i can't. was this place acrtually good once?

So all the camwhore and hookup threads leave. What then? Make even more Facebook threads where we bitch about trivial bullshit?

2011 is right around the corner.
I think the whole of r9k should make a New Year's resolution with 1 goal: To make r9k good again.

>>12102203
Eh, about as good as a board on 4chan can be. Admittedly, it didn't last very long and quickly declined to the state that it's in today. I kinda hold out hope that it won't completely devolve into /lolb2/. I don't rage over the crappy threads like some do, but I do miss being able to talk with other Anons with out having to dig through the first 10 threads of fluff.

Posting in a potential stickied thread.

>>12102203
no. just faggots fantasizing about a time when people won't call them faggots

>>12102233

So what's your idea of a good thread to land on?

>>12102227
I'm not even saying that they have to leave, just cut back on them. That's why I said that they're looked down on, not BANHAMMER'D. It'd be nice to see more genuine contribution. More conversation, more new content, hell, I'd be happy to even see silly things like pictionary threads. I just feel like we're slipping further and further towards becoming exactly what we slit off from.

>>12102263

I'm asking what we do once we've cut back on the shittiness. I honestly believe /adv/ did a damn good job of that.
You probably have a really weird idea of what a conversation is on 4chan. Image boards and forums aren't exactly a good place for that.

posting with trip in potential sticky thread.

>>12102228
Showing precisely how lonely you are and how much you belong here.

So, it's like an uncancerous /b/?

>>12102302
But traces of the disease remain.

>>12102263
>hell, I'd be happy to even see silly things like pictionary threads.

Pictionary threads sounds quiet fun, actually.

>>12102278
Honestly? I kinda see /r9k/ as a mix of topics from all over 4chan. Want to talk about chess strategies? How about the game last night? It may be fairly trivial topics, but they're threads like that go unnoticed or shot down in their "dedicated" boards. I'd rather see a thread about webcomics or the best snack recipes that correspond with your favorite video games than mfw threads or foreveralone. I don't have the answers on how to fix /r9k/, but I do know that there are steps that we can take to make this board better than what it currently is.

This isn't the circle jerk?

Camwhores and tripfags will hate this thread. Those who admire the true original content of /r9k/ will love it, and encourage it.

I have to give op props for describing r9gay without using the words virgin neckbeard misogynist faggots

>>12102339
This.

Really, if you want to improve /r9k/, then start posting threads about whatever you're into, take all the relationshit to /adv/. Bump them past all the cancer threads. And don't sagebomb the cancer threads either, because it doesn't push them down any further, and may actually do more harm than good.

smells like mod samefagging.

>>12102383
If I were a mod, I'd sticky my own thread. And no, not samefagging. Trust me, I'm kinda surprised, too. It's threads like these that I'd like to see more often.

>>12102302
that was pretty much the plan yeah

>>12102409
Threads like these sometimes appear, but they're not as well-thought-out, it usually just degenerates into angry neckbeards with a clubhouse mentality and normalfags being the attention whores they all are.

I'd like to see this stickied.

But then again, even if it were, there's still the matter of TOGETHER ALONE ;_; at the top there.

Kinda seals our fate now doesn't it?

>>12102118
>close to /b/ levels
/v/irgin here. You think this is bad? Have you ever been to /v/? For chrissake, even /b/ can have vidya related discussions better than /v/ without it 404'ing or being deleted by mods. Yes I fucking mad

Requesting Sticky.

Many other boards have shit like this, suck it up and put that lil thumbtack up top.

>>12102483
How about we just make a conscious effort to post quality content then? Forget stickying or anything like that, just work together on our own to make the board a better place. Then maybe the board title will eventually return to good old "ROBOT9000".

>With its creation, moot implemented ROBOT9000

XKCD created ROBOT9000. I think that should be noted.

http://blog.xkcd.com/2008/01/14/robot9000-and-xkcd-signal-attacking-noise-in-chat/

I'm fit as a fiddle and ready for love.

>>12102449
I have nothing against the normal kids or tripfags and don't hold the mentality that this is some sort of secret club, so I guess that makes it easier to be level headed about it.
>>12102370
This seems to be the typical description of this board and I kinda resent that, even if it's true. It'd be nice to see the mods step back up or for users to actually put some thought and effort into the things that they say and do. Then again, this is 4chan. Maybe we're just not meant to have nice things.

I hold out hope and try to at least lead by example without coming off as pretentious (hopefully).

We could really use the implementation of that /soc/ board idea that's been kicked around lately. I think the main problem here is that /r9k/ is sort of a default choice for those seeking some sort of social fulfillment on 4chan, and that's why no matter how many "good" threads we have we will never be able to change the fact that there is a demand for these "cancer" threads.

It would nice if we had the mod power to outright ban them, though. Shame that will never be a good choice financially, since pageviews are pageviews and all.

>>12102483
BULLSHIT.
We can be DECENT and still be bitter ronery misogynists.
STICKY THIS, PLEASE.

>>12102502
I meant with the creation of this board, moot implemented ROBOT9000. I was aware that it was created by XKCD, but it does make for a good footnote.

>If you would post it in /b/, it probably doesn't belong on /r9k/.

so you didn't read the rules yourself?
I'm not even going to bother to quote the otherobvious mistakes you've made, but here's poignant one.

>Do not post the following outside of /b/: Trolls, flames, racism, off-topic replies, uncalled for catchphrases, macro image replies, indecipherable text (example: "lol u tk him 2da bar|?"), anthropomorphic ("furry"), grotesque ("guro"), or loli/shota pornography.

>>12102581
Most don't ask questions though, they just follow by example of what shows up on page 0. The concept of "lurk moar" is basically nonexistent anymore, or goes as far as looking it up on ED.

Hey Faggots,

My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook.

Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than "jack off to naked drawn Japanese people"? I also get straight A's, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

We need less hookup/relationshit threads and more philosophical stuff and informative threads. We should strive to become the gentlemen we once were, and then get better than that.

Sticky+1

>>12102603
I don't understand. That's the exact point I was trying to make. Keep those things to /b/ because they don't belong on /r9k/.

>>12102615

Dear John,

Have you ever thought of writing a book regarding your exploits?

Sincerely yours,

A huge fan!

I agree up to the point where everyone starts acting pretentious.

>>12102634
Yeah you don't understand. You don't understand alot.

>>12102650
Ah, I see. I which case, I apologize for my ignorance. And for being a "fagget".

wish I could nominate op for mod

I think op is a pretty cool guy. eh has a raesonabl view of what /r9k/ should be and doesnt afraid of anything

Seems a lot of self fellation.

LOL YO GO STICKEY!

>>12102710
I know, I was actually expecting more resistance than this. I mean, I'm pleased that it's a common sentiment, and it'd be kinda nice to see the original post stickied, but posts like >>12102699 are just silly.

sticky this thread? sticky this thread.

Do you think it'd be acceptable to repost this at a time when there's more traffic and people awake, or would that make an ironic mockery of the whole post?

bumping a thread that should be sticky'd

This is bullshit. Relationship threads can be completely legitimate discussions. Betas need to stop bitching.

>>12104421
Relationship advice belongs in /adv/.

>but no one goes to /adv/!
Maybe because no one gives a shit.

Re: Improving the overall quality of /r9k/
I wish that /r9k/ (all boards, really) had a search function that worked like the f3 search function, except that we could type in a word or phrase and it would search all 15 active pages for threads whose original post contained said words or phrases. I think this would cut back on redundant threads and make it easier for those who do want to take part in an active discussion instead of just starting a new thread.

>>12104435

/adv/ is empty because it clearly has no reason to exist. /r9k/ has and will always double as an advice board.

advice/relationship threads are some of the most interesting and original content on this board hands down. Betas just mad cause they can't relate.

>>12104421
You're right, they do have the potential to be legitimate conversations, but we have a board completely dedicated and populated to giving relationship advice. Now, if you have something that doesn't quite fit the criteria of /adv/, it makes sense to post it here, but you wouldn't go to /k/ and post /s/ material unless they were beautiful women with guns. If you're going to post a tread, at least try to make it relevant to the board.

we had a sticky for some time before the reboot

it was more or less useless.

>>12104460
why not post advice/relationship threads in /b/?

/b/ has 20 times the posters of /r9k/ and you're sure to get better responses or more people with experience over there.

>>12104498
except that r9k is a 'random' board with no particular topic of interest

>>12104498

How can you make a thread relevant to a RANDOM board? This place thrives on irrelevance.

>>12104515

ha. good one.

>>12104460
>most interesting and original content on this board

>>12104504
But there's /sp/ for soccer. It's not because you're american that you should force a sport called the same way as your local version of rugby to move to a new board.

>>12104531
I am completely serious. Try asking /b/ sometime.

I must say, this particular thread deserves a sticky.

This is all in my honest opinion, of course.

>>12104540
nice troll fag, but I mean a social board for camwhore/facebook people

keep them locked up in their own little ghetto

>>12104515
Honestly, because you'd get almost nothing but troll responses. Relationship threads in general aren't that bad, but the waves and waves of ForeverAlone threads are just awful. A well thought out and discussion evoking topic on relationships is great, the "why am i so ronrey/no one loves me" and LJ stuff really should just go.

>>12104421 here

>>12104560

I support this.

>>12104550
why?

you have a sticky on /fit/ to answer basic questions people might ask, but what purpose would this /r9k/ sticky have?

explaining the rules? the rules are in the rules and the only people asking what this board is about are trolls.

telling people 'don't post stupid stuff nobody cares about'? you know they will.

there's a reason why the original sticky got deleted, it's just unnecessary.

>>12104579
>only knows about /fit/s sticky
try looking at the other boards sometime normalfag, they have stickies with rules in them

>>12102091

this is backwards land where camwhore threads aren't cancer.

>>12104579
The original sticky got deleted because the mods gave up and let this board fall to the state that it's currently in. Just because the mods gave up doesn't mean that the users have to. I know that integrity is hard to find on the internet, but we can control what we make of this board. I'd like to see this thread sticky'd because we do get wanders from other boards that don't know what /r9k/ is and I rather have them see this and hopefully contribute something worth while than just go off of /b/s standards of posting. This is 4chan, /r9k/ will never be great, but we can at least take these small steps to making it better than it is now. Defeatist attitudes and inaction are what got us in this position in the first place.

>>12104618
backwards land, where the neckbeards are few and far between, and the normalfags and cumdumpsters rule

>>12104618
I hate to be the one to inform you of this but camwhore threads, on almost all boards (save /cgl/, maybe) really are a bane to most users. I'm not saying that they're the cancer that's killing our board, but it would be nice to see less than 3 cam threads a day. Some of you people ARE attractive, but if I see your face constantly, you lose your luster really quickly and for many that easily becomes resentment.

>>12104625
i'm not gonna lie, this just got me a little fired up. i wanna make /r9k/ better.
sticky?

the /adv/ board was a pointless gesture
without actually banning relationhit threads here, absolutely nothing was going to change.
its like trying to run a prison on the honor system

>>12104685
Not all of the spin off boards take off, but /adv/ did help some (at least at first). /sci/ did leaps and bounds for the constant Theology vs Atheism threads (if you check, that's pretty much all that board is)

>>12104707
we need a /cutvsuncut/ board. or just rename /b/

>>12104707
it didn't do squat
the few times that I come by here all the front page is relationshit threads.
todays it the first time in a long time that I didn't leave in disgust upon seeing the front page,
and its really only because of this thread.

>>12104707
>>12104685
once moot stops being a lazy motherfuck and makes /soc/ I'm sure all these camwhore/facebook/relationshit threads will migrate to the appropriate boards

and if he does make a /soc/ board it needs to stay the blotter for a month or more, get it as much exposure as possible cause we all know the average normalfag doesnt know shit about 4chan and the internet in general, they need a giant red arrow telling them where to go

>>12104767
not

to accomplish
anything
you can make all the boards you want till your face turns blue,
unless there is an actual incentive for those people to move they are going to stay right here.

>>12104756
That's why I said it was more helpful at first. Now less and less gets filtered over to /adv/. When these threads pop up, I tend to remind them that we have a board tailored to relationship advice, and try to direct them towards it. Getting the word out can be pretty helpful. A lot of people are unaware of the presence of other boards.
Tip: if you're going to post in relationship threads about /adv/, try not to sage bomb or be a huge dick, this is very counter productive.

>>12104790
I don't know, if you could get a few of the key tripfags to migrate over, many would follow. Giving them free reign over there own corner of 4chan would be a pretty big incentive for the attention depraved. I think it stands a chance of being fairly successful

I just wish moot would post about the state of 4chan for once, what his thoughts are, what are his plans for the future, and what not.

He only posts in /b/ and even then it's just trolling.

So, what do we have to do to get this sticky'd or get OP promoted to mod?

>>12104842
4chan is what it is because its popular
that's all there is too it.
popular=shit is not just something edgy teenagers spout out,
its an actual reoccurring trend.

>>12104854
write moot an email


spoiler: it won't work

>>12104879
>implying that moot has even once checked his 4chan email.

Bumping so that this can be stickied.

posting in a to-be-stickied thread

The fact that people are even pushing for this to get sticky'd gives me some semblance of hope.

>>12104954
Right when I thought /r9k/ wanted to kick the bucket.

My mute time has always been 2 seconds.

I think it's borken.

>>12104972
We've been on a self-destructive downward spiral for a while. This is a nice breath of fresh air.

>>12104996
Depends on how often you are muted. It goes down every few days.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 07840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

There can be only one.

>repealed Jactes

Please sticky this. I sense a golden age in r9k.

Come on, sticky :>

>>12104996
If you turned around and repeated the mistake, it would double your time. It wasn't too long ago that it wasn't uncommon for new users to get muted for 8+ hours because your mute count didn't reset.

>>12105007
May I please marry you?
I am fertile, have good genetics, and am willing to fight other women to the death to win your hand.

>>12104444
Why do we not have this already? This would be helpful as fuck

Someone go link from a board that gets the most mods, maybe they'll give a shit.

>>12105033
Do you really not recognize ancient copypasta?

>>12104444
That would slow down the rest of the boards like crazy. Searching takes up a lot of server resources.

>>12105048
I don't think mods have cross board privileges, do they? Spamming another board with this seems to go against OPs point, anyway

>>12105061
Aren't all mods global, it's just the janitors that are defined to boards?

>>12105058
Damn. I really wish that wasn't the case. A search feature would be fantastic.

>>12105052
>implying she's not a cancerous newfag

>>12105066
Yes, they are, I wish moot would clarify so people would stop asking so much.

>>12105066
In which case where would we go and how would we approach it? I don't want to muck up another board just for a sticky.

>>12105083
I wish moot would let people know what sage does. He made fun of people who try to troll others by saying sage doesn't do anything.

>>12105097
Well let's try linking from /tg/ or /co/, they're definitely some of the more favorite boards by moot, and maybe his mods.

I mean it's not like /v/ or /tv/ get attention by mods.

Link to the /tg/ thread so we can plead for assistance

>>12105216
This. Keep in mind a lot of your traffic is from these "cancer" threads, and those users will eventually spill over into your philisophical discussions. This is what /r9k/ has become, and no amount of chemo or stickies is going to change that. Sadly, much a like /b/, no direction means you're subject to the whims of the masses. only the original content filter stops this place from being a meme-spouting shithole.

I ain't mad, you guys are just fighting a battle you've lost before it begun

>>12105242
>>12105225
This is just a hunch, but i think u mad
I also think u gettin trolled.

>>12105007
That there is some tasty copypasta. I lold'

/tg/ doesn't seem to be capable of helping us, what about /co/?
They're certainly a lot friendlier of a board, I know they like to play phone call with /v/ and stuff.

moot should just make /so/, a "social" board.

all the hookups, rate mes, life advice and relationship threads would go there and leave everywhere else clean. a lot of people are gonna say the creation of this board is cancer in its purest form, but this cancer is here to stay and will appear on /b/ and /r9k/ even if you actively enforce their absence. at least this will put it all into one area where it won't bother everyone else.

and you know what? i like the social threads, because not everyone on 4chan is a closed-off hermit. inb4 yes they are.

of course, that would mean the complete abandonment of /r9k/, since that's the only reason anyone ever comes here.

>>12105275

>implying this was my face when we already have.

>>12105402
Mods should start every post that contains "lol femanon here" or "to all femanons" and relationshit threads in general.

>4. If you would post it in /b/, it probably doesn't belong on /r9k/.

but everything gets posted on /b/, therefore this board is redundant?

there's no logic in this.

>>12105373
dat downward spiral

>>12105437
/b/ is trolling, porn and camwhores.

>>12105437
It was more focused on the typical /b/ meme spouting, name calling, pointless trolling and other wasted posts.

20 POUNDS OF PUSSY AND ASS.

people always find ways to circumvent this stuff. really, you can't guarantee that something won't be brought up twice. i'm sure in the past week alone we've seen at least 5 reposts, albeit reworded.

>1. If you post an image or comment that in unoriginal, you receive a temporary mute.

This has to be the most pointless rule.

Everybody just edits their pictures and rewrites posts or use 'blox' to get passed that glorified toaster of a robot.

Woe, we are truly alone. Together... alone.
/tg/ cannot help us, and /co/ does not have a mod to help us.

If we really want /r9k/ to be good, we should start posting more threads of what we'd like to see on /r9k/, as opposed to camwhore threads.

Don't sage the camwhore threads, just ignore them and support good content.

>Implying people will ever observe those rules

>Implying they had any merit in the first place

>Implying /r9k/ isn't now, and always will be just an aspie version of /adv/

its only really got bad over the last few months of the summer.

i came here during may (i think) and its was fucken awesome

also sticky up in dis thread yo

>>12105007
i just wanted to say that this wins

>3. Keep in mind that this is a discussion board and not Facebook or LiveJournal. Hookup threads, Rate Me threads and Relationship Advice threads are looked down upon and discouraged.

[citation needed]

The 300+ replies posted in all daily social networking threads all say otherwise. Get the fuck our you wishful-thinking faggot

>>12105676
THIS IS FACEBOOK AND I MAD

I agree, sticky this helpfull thread

Rate me threads and contact threads get the most participation on this board.

Just saying.

>>12105676
fuck you, before you facebook fags took over we never had camwhore or rate me threads, that is a /r9k/ I want back

>>12105767
then maybe we need a separate board for camwhoring, hook up and rate me threads

call it /soc/ or social

>>12105883
I participate in contact threads and I don't even have Facebook (deleted mine some months ago)

I actually met interesting people with these threads, while Facebook would just destroy whatever social life I had

Don't remove one of the actually good features of this board

I think the biggest problem with /r9k/ is that underageB&s seem to get away with breaking the rules.

We need a mod to publicly ban a "16/M/whatever" in a hookup thread and sticky the thread so we can all yell variations of "MODS = GODS".

>>12105898
The point is that I want to socialize with people from /r9k/ (we are pretty much the same people going there every day), not other people from a whole new or different board

>>12105964
It would be all of the same people, only they'd have an entire board to themselves.

Also, bring back forced anonymous

The general rules of conduct although meant with good faith, are totally laughable.

>>12105883
actually we did
it was just a small part of it
back then I did warn you people that it was not something you wanted tolerated.
I was told to ignore the threads and stick to the ones I liked
its not like they are going to replace the board they said
oh how wrong they were.
at the very least /r9k/ stands as an example of what happens when a board lets unsavory characters run rampant.
other boards can now learn from our example

bumping for sticky goodness

>>12105964
does that mean you need a rate me/hook up/camwhore thread everyday?

I'm sure you've met everyone who has already posted in those threads, try out /b/ they have even more people to camwhore with

There's three contact threads on the front page. At first I was kinda against OP, but now I'm starting to come around...

>>12106468
ok now take what you are feeling now
and imagine that every single thread in the front page is a contact thread
how does it feel?

>>12106599
feels like /b/ man

>>12106616
well then that's how I feel about relationshit threads,
and now you have a taste of what I felt when they took over the board.
its funny when I think about it actually
when some unsavory crowd muscles in a board I can take solace in the fact that someday in the future some other crowd will muscle themselves in and ruin it for them.
its like karma

>>12105964
and thus you prove my point
that a new board alone won't accomplish anything
you actually need to outright ban the activity to get people to stop.

>>12106779
I agree.

We need mods using public bans on these faggots to make an example of them.

look, for everyone that wants to out right ban people or censor others because they cause a raucous or something, YOU'RE MISSING THE WHOLE POINT OF 4CHAN. Some of the best ideas come from the extreme of points of view. By demanding people be "civil" or "considerate," you out right nerf everything to high hell. "I don't like that view point," "that person didn't proclaim their idea politely," all that bullshit is you riding your high horse of superiority.

4chan is a culture in constant flex. People have different ways of expressing themselves. Some things are popular now, other things get forgotten altogether.

Why are there so many threads you DON'T like? Because people ACTUALLY LIKE THEM. Don't like it? Sage it. Fuck off. Ignore it. Go to a different thead. MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD.

You just want to turn this into Facebook 2.0. Plain and simple. Just go back. You're ruining it for everyone.

>>12107210
its incredibly obvious
that this is copy pasta
you retard can't even be arsed to put any effort to anything

b-b-b-b-bumping for sticky

1. Obtain a cup of water

2. Place said water in freezer

3. With low temperatures, the water should freeze in minutes

4. Take the frozen water to the point of burglary

5. Throw in the window

6. Window breaks, steal everything, water melts

7. No evidence detected

You are now a cat burglar.

>> hook up threads and contact facebook relationship shit is good. if you don't like it you must a neckbeard lol
