Computer glitches and/or crashes are so unforgiving. It's not like you can chastise a forgetful secretary or dig up a misplaced or misfiled document to make things right.

This reminds me of a particularly traumatic incident I endured several years back when I was writing one of my novels. I had done about seven chapters, saving them on one floppy. But the floppy somehow got corrupted, and I couldn't open the file and retrieve my work. Can't remember what happened to what was saved on the hard drive.

At any rate, I had to start all over from memory. I have an excellent memory and was able to recreate the gist of what I had done before, but there were passages that I just could never quite duplicate.

Same with the lost comments, etc. here. The sequence evolved in a particular way and produced something that can never quite be duplicated again.

Ugh!

Well, something that got deleted was Logjam insulting me and calling my posts mindless. Not that it would matter to you, but I'm very much offended, Logjam. When I first found poop report about a year ago, I thought it was a site where people can discuss all poop issues in a (for the most part) mature fashion. I don't post anything unless I really have something to add (not like some of the anonymous posts that just say "cool" or "eww gross, you're all sick").
But, at least you've opened my eyes to something.
Thank you, Logjam. Now I know that I can never be on the same level as the veteran poop reporters, because my opinions are mindless and not worth while.

Fart Poopie, I read the sequence you mention which has now been deleted. As a veteran poop reporter, let me say that I keep a close eye on the site and am quite aware of the quality of most all frequent posters' comments.

You make solid contributions (haha!) to the site, and I encourage you to continue your participation in PR. You noted rightfully that your user points shrank dramatically and wanted an explanation. I noted the same thing and e-mailed Dave-O about it over the weekend.

He's managed to retrieve most of the comments now, so I think we should all move on. Put this glitch behind you. Your comments are not mindless.

I was at the bar Saturday night. I saw Poopreport stumble in. He was wearing nothing but a toilet plunger stuck/glued/otherwise attached over his genitals. He kept on "accidentally" bumping into women with the plunger handle and then saying, "Oooooooh, sorry about my thunder stick! It's too big for its own good!"

He did this one too many times. The boyfriend of one of the girls at the bar took exception to his actions, grabbed the plunger handle, and pulled. The look on PoopReport's face as the plunger detached with a loud pop was both priceless and horrifying.

Thank you, The Big Wiper.

I love this site!

thanks, ty! that explains why i saw him sitting on a corner, rocking back and forth, mumbling something about, "it's all purple...the whole thing is purple." i tried to console him and asked him, "what? what's purple??" and he just kept repeating it over and over again. now i know.

and don't worry, i didn't just leave him there like that. i put him in a cab and said, "back to New York with you, little buddy! i'm sure dave is very worried about you!"

i'm glad to see he made it back ok. that's a pretty long cab ride from colorado.

I totally sympathize...I had a lost weekend, once, and I'd love to share it with you all, but I never did find it.

Alas, my alleged insult of Fart Poopie has been lost for all time. Given that I have never, to my knowledge, managed to insult a PoopReporter (though I have tried), I can’t tell you how sorry I am to have had this singular event erased.

For the record, I don’t regard Fart Poopie as a mindless poster, but based on her sniffling account above, she does seem to be a bit of a pouter. But if The Big Wiper will vouch for her, that will be good enough for me.

Fart Poopie: It's just the intarnets...don't get take it too seriously. Grab a frisbee and, go outside and play. Have fun! :)

Poopreport had WAY TOO MUCH to drink...he stumbled up to me, shook his head....said, 'Zowmzaaaa' and walked away.

It's a good thing I didn't make any contributions that weekend :P

Dave,

Many thanks for getting "shit" back online. I just joined last week and thought maybe I offended you and got kicked off.
But then, I thought, it must have been a glitch. How can you offend a man who runs a website (an excellent one at that) all about shit?
Gee, i hope that didn't offend you...
I might end up like those guys at the bottom of the list with minus 600 points (They must have really done something wrong...)

Happy trails,

Finding PoopReport is a life-changing experience for many people. I remember that I stumbled across it nearly three years ago, started lurking, got hooked, registered, and my life has never been the same since.

All to the good.

I found this site while searching for fart sounds on the internet and I've never left since.

Wow. I sure am glad to be in such good company. I've even made poop of the week in less than 2 weeks.
Viva la PoopReport!
