Is this a real bug? Is this just travesty? Caught in a timeout No escape from reality Open my eyes Click on the 'Refresh' and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go Did it live? I don't know. Whether version 5 blows, doesn't really matter to me to me
Mama, just lost a post, Typed a message in the box, pushed the button now it's lost, Mama, I was almost done, and now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Mama, ooo Don't think I didn't try and I'll hit 'Back' again this time tomorrow hoping on, hoping on, that something is recovered
Too late, my post is gone There's nothing left at all, Threw my mouse against the wall. Goodbye everybody - I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and punch my couch Mama, ooo - (why does version 5 blow?) Don't wanna recompose I sometimes wish I'd never logged in at all...
I see a little neophyto of a man Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C would have saved his fandango Firefox and IE - very very crashy see? Angry bearo, Angry bearo, Angry bearo, Angry bearo, Angry bearo Proboardo - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and I can't Ctrl+C He's just a poor boy from a dumb family Spare him his mind from this technology! Ctrl+A Ctrl+C - will he save for me? Bismillah! No - he will not save his post - Save your post! Bismillah! No - he will not save his post - Save your post! Bismillah! No - he will not save his post - Save your post! Will not save his post - save my post Never save my post - save your post Never save my post - ooo No, no, no, no, no, no, no - Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia save your post Microsoft has a clipboard put aside for me for me for me
So you think you can ask me to hit those three keys? So you think it will back up my data with ease. Oh Proboards - can't do this to me Proboards Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah Backing up my comments Anyone can see Backing up my comments - No backing up my comments for me
There should be no such thing as comments opining "I lost my long, wonderful post."
Before you post: Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C. It will copy your post to the clipboard. In the highly likely event that Proboards eats your post, simply return to the 'Create Post' screen, hit Ctrl+V to restore the full contents of your post and try again.
It takes all of 1 second, and it can save you a huge amount of time and frustration.

Several, in fact. And it appears on every second page of the Bug Report thread. I'm hoping the absurdity of the lyrics combined with the popularity of the original song will penetrate where other methods cannot.

I really like the lyrics - but I'm wondering what soundtrack they'd be best with. I'm thinking Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer".

In the clearing stands a poster, with a profile in his name, and it carries the reminder of every thread that ate his post or sat there 'til it timed out to his anger and disdain, I am leaving, I am leaving, but the profile still remains...

I am somewhat of an expert on poetry having just finished a 2-hour free poetry workshop. Therefore, y'all get an A+ for poetry and rapping because that's poetry. And a thank you for blessing me with your wit, vim and vigor as I was licking wounds from some pretty rude treatment the past couple of days. I was ready to quit. Ready to walk out. No love anywhere. Even a sweet kiss had turned poison. The bullies were winning and then and then NMSNR swopes in for the rescue. Thanks.

I'm extremely finicky about poetry I like. I have been moved by the beauty of certain pieces, but nowhere near as often as I've been moved by music. Visual art comes in a distant third. I have seen paintings, sculptures, etc., that elicit an emotional response, but only five or six times in my entire lifetime.
I'm typically moved by music more often than by books. Movies have a higher rate than music, and games have a higher rate than movies.
Live theater has the highest likelihood of emotional impact, but that's possibly because theater pieces typically need to be phenomenal to turn a profit.
Thus my personal ranking of "most moving" entertainment media would be (from lowest to highest):
Visual Art Poetry Prose Music Cinema Computer Games Live Theater
Although it's fair to point out that these aren't exclusive categories. If an excellent movie has a terrible soundtrack, it ruins the movie. Likewise if a game has poor dialog, it ruins the game. Synthesis is important too.

If we ranked the media by total hours spent starting from 2008, NMSNM would definitely rank among the top items. I might spend as many as 10 hours a week on the boards. I don't have a TV and most weeks I don't watch even a single movie. Cinema might average out to 10 hours a month.

Kids were still listening to Queen while I was in high school in the late 90's. Or at least parodies of Queen.
