there should be a new rule to hold OPs accountable for their shitty threads or they get range bannedthey should have an ID and if they're not a fourth of the total replies, ban.

Did you ever read what they call Science Fiction? It’s a scream. It is written like this:‘I checked out with K19 on Aldabaran III, and stepped out through the crummalite hatch on my 22 Model Sirius Hardtop. I cocked the timejector in secondary and waded through the bright blue manda grass. My breath froze into pink pretzels. I flicked on the heat bars and the Brylls ran swiftly on five legs, using their other two to send out crylon vibrations. The pressure was almost unbearable...’
