It’s come to my attention recently that the discussions on our fair board, particularly those of a frivolous yet mindlessly entertaining nature, are somewhat hard to break into. In fact, I’ve tested out a few aliai (yes, aliai, i made it up) in the past few weeks and found being a newbie somewhat boring, as all the jokes are extremely “inside” and hardly anybody takes the time to explain things. At best, you’ll get a link to an obscure, context-less archived post, which usually serves only to make things slightly more confusing.

But I’m not here to lecture anybody. I’m here to BE that archive to which we refer people. At the risk of making this site even more self-referential, I propose that we open this up to new people (there are 1400 readers today, ahem) to throw their proverbial hats into the internet. We’ll do it like this: I’ll make several broad, sweeping generalizations about cVillain and some of our favorite people, and then you all can jump in and talk about whatever it is… you DO here. I got all dolled up and used capital letters for this post, so help me out. Chime in with your own thoughts on cVillain, and let’s see if we can drag some new friends out of the tubework.

I was happy with my time (hit a personal record for the 10mi distance), but have some questions I was hoping some of you all could answer:
