It's interesting that there's even a debate

It's called the checkmate. It's when a guy screws over the use of a urinal for a person by choosing a urinal where there is no way other than to break the cardinal rule of never peeing next to a person. Here's a diagram to illustrate:
Urinals
| A | | B | | C | | D | | E |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
+-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+
In this situation, if a person is in Urinal A and the second person has urinal C or E to choose from. That way, if a third shows up, then he still has a urinal option without having to stand next to a person. But if the second person picks the "checkmate" urinal (D) he screwed the third person from picking a urinal without standing next to a person. See below:
Urinals
| A | | B | | C | | D | | E |
| | | | | | | | | |
| () | | | | | | () | | |
| ( ) | | | | | | ( ) | | |
| /\ /\ | | | | | | /\ /\ | | |
+-//( | )\-+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-//( | )\-+ +-----------+
/ | \ The Checkmate -------> / |
/ / \ \ / / \
As you can see. With the checkmate present, urinals B, C and E are now blocked and therefore it either forces the third person to either break the cardinal rule or use a stall. -

To answer your question, posters here come from various boards. Several posted on The Soapbox, but some posted on other IMDb boards, such as Film General or various TV/movie boards. I think some just lurked on IMDb. Some posters here are from Moviechat and TMDB, but I assume most of them were on IMDb before that, even if they only lurked.

"This board" as in Filmboards? Because it was originally an IMDb archive site (it still is; several boards have archived IMDb posts), and it looks similar to IMDb (especially if you use the "Classic" theme). Many IMDbers ended up on various IMDb spinoff sites, and this is one of them.

On imdb we had more than 10. And yeah. We are superior. C'mon..it's true. To heck with the so-called soapbox witches and wizards or pagan crap. I'm tired of their whole shtick. I'm not even part of. I'm just there commenting.
We don't have to brag about our intelligence. Just do your thing Bentley like you always have. Let's not stop now, okay?

If they have padlocks I'm backing off, I can tell you right away.
Okay, dunno why I said that. Not to worry, Donna. We will triumph over the lumpenproletariat scum and force them to lick our jackboots! Deutschland Uber Alles! -

Lol..What I mean is to just be casual like how it normally is on this board. No pressure. There doesn't have to be a war at all. I was only concerned that you were somehow making yourself less intelligent in order not to hurt their feelings.
I was kind of upset about walking dead merge to General Discussion, but I'm cool with now. Okay?
