What kind of new Muriel do we need now to improve Datalounge?

I think we more or less have the Muriel we deserve. And no to any of your suggestions, OP.

You do not choose your Muriel

Your Muriel chooses you

Muriel abandoned this cesspool years ago. Evidence of Muriel's fuck this, I'm outta here escape is that no one's been red-tagged in yonks. The only overseers left are a couple of sys admins; the Midnight Marauder, who summarily deletes threads that don't fit into his peculiar worldview. And the Afternoon Delight, who summarily deletes posters who don't fit into his peculiar worldview.

One who reinstates "ignore thread."

All I want is someone who can add the ability to edit posts, and a working search function to give this site the same level of functionality that every other forum out there post 2005 has. So not so much a tech savvy Muriel as one who at least took a few community computer classes.

No boards on boards!

An AI robotic version with laser-beam eyes that fry the Muriel-phobic fools who come to M's house and don't take their shoes off before entering the vestibule of this amazing shit show we all love & hate.

Have Muriel and Michael Musto ever been spotted together in the same place?

I wonder if Musto isn't running this whole mess out of that cat litter box he calls an apartment.

Oh, I blocked Muriel YEARS ago.

Who is she, who was she, who does she hope to be?

Your don’t choose your Muriel; your Muriel chooses you.

We really do need an edit feature.

We also need someone to more actively suppress the annoying no-life footface troll, aka Defacto.

r10 Drunk, drunk and even drunker is the answer to all of those questions.

R11, are you also R2?

Maybe we could all pitch in and gift Muriel with a Merle Norman make-over?

No. I didn’t see r2. Weird, huh?

One that can add an edit post function.

Muriel should be an Overweight disabled lesbian identified trans asylum seeker who did sex work

What do you mean, “should be?”

[quote]Weird, huh

More like “lazy”

I want Muriel to stay just like Rosie O'Donnell in Exit To Eden in her leather corset.

Muriel died.

She should have huge Wendy Williams-style tits and long fingernails. Also, when she is on "The Lounge", she should have a pair of pince-nez glasses she peers over.

[quote]Muriel died.

Lucky bitch.

Actually surprised she hasn't flipped the board to "paid account only" mode - normally she does this whenever any big news comes out, to force people to sign up. She must still be sleeping off last night's whisky binge.

^ I wish she would. We don't need a 100 threads on SCOTUS. Thank God the block thread works fine

I just want a website that isn't powered by an adding machine duct taped to a 300-baud modem.

I just went through and deleted 25 SCOTUS related threads. My blood pressure is already on the way down 🙂

Is this site actually run/moderated by a real person?

R29 that depends on what you mean by "real" and "person".

Can the new overlord make the watched threads function work properly?

It's time consuming and annoying having to constantly delete watched threads multiple times a week and to have watched threads decide to scroll back hundreds of posts I then have to scroll through again to find where I left off.

[quote]Muriel abandoned this cesspool years ago.

She's at the video rental place.

I want a Muriel who sends out boxed cakes.

I’ve willing to pay to pay an additional $1.50 a month for that.

[...]

I like Muriel, the fucking Bitch, just the way she is!

The 2-timing whore of Babylon Jezebel slattern, just like the girls in East Falls (In Philadelphia).

Am I the only one who thinks Datalounge is just fine?

To R36, it's pretty good, however we need an edit function. And more post about Fire Island& New gloryholrs. Less stupid shit on Trannys I just don't care about them!!

R8 The Voice is back and Musto's writing for it--at least, the last time I checked.

Muriel is based in Iowa.

r36 My problem is that I do a check-in every couple of years and there's clearly fewer and fewer posters on it. A DL census thread even five years ago (before the daily primetime lockouts) featured so many different people from all walks of life, including straight guys who lurked, while a similar thread a week ago got zero replies. I swear at this point DL is just twenty to thirty people talking to each other. And if you block one nasty troll, a quarter of DL disappears because a tiny number of people create the vast majority of threads.

Muriel is not a job - Muriel is an aesthetic.

You can't train someone to be Muriel any more than you can train someone to have good taste. You either have it or you don't.
