Hey all you BUSTy chicas! Something came up at one of our meetings, and we were wondering what you think it means to be BUSTy.

The interns all agree that it is more of an essence--we know it when we see it--but we want to find a way to explain BUSTiness to those who aren't quite with it.

Give us your input! How do you define BUSTy? And what does it mean to be a BUSTy lady?

How do you define BUSTy? And what does it mean to be a BUSTy lady?

Maybe there have been a lack of responses because the question itself seems patronizing to these people who are committed to this forum.

but, maybe i am being too cynical.

i'm working on not saying anything at all if you can't say anything nice.

i guess it's not working.

My last intention was to be patronizing. But I did leave the question vague so people could answer however they wanted--maybe it backfired.

As for busty vs. bustie, we interns seem to fall on both sides of the fence. I personally use busty as an adjective, and bustie(s) as a noun.

When I took over LL duties, I didn't realize the ladies of the Lounge and the magazine's readers were such distinct entities (something the editors were quick to let me know when they realized I put up this thread). Regardless, I do enjoy checking out the threads as I lurk around hunting for spam and double posts to delete.

one thing that will bug the fuck out of people on any forum are people who jump in without knowing the environment they are in. in here, the issue isn't where the interns stand, it's where the users of the lounge stand. i hate to be snotty, (ok, actually, i live to be snotty), but this is a monster of bust's own creation, thanks to it's neglect. it sounds like you are a new, LL, from your post, my advise-- create a new admin name+avi. i'm sure i'm not the only one who gets a little teed off at the inaction of the LL(s) that came before you. it's not that busties cry about every little thing, to the contrary, this is a self modded fora, and it suits us fine, but when we get trolls leaving antagonistic posts in sensative threads, when we get them posting doctored anti-abortion all over the place, and the LL would not react for DAYS.... well, i for one see red any time i see an LL post trying to be all friendly.

speaking for myself, that leads to some pretty hard feelings when you get sarcasm, patronizing comments and fluff threads, like this.

really all we need you to do is familiarize yourself with this place, delete troll posts* and get old busties their passwords when they request them. but if you keep going down the patronizing/sarcastic route, there are a few of us who will hand you your head on a platter.


*just so you know, troll posts are easy to spot. busties will point them out, just check out the troll thread. we post their names and any other info in there.
