Why is it called the POINTY Board
Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

Do a Search!
Because of what I'm about to write...
Try using the SEARCH function.
Actually one of the old longstanding Miata peeps explained it as follows:
So there ya go! There is one theory of why it's called the pointy board!Ok...Well come on skippy, share with the rest of the class!I can...... and nobody can really explain why it's called the Pointy Board... :alien:
It was back in the days of Banter (basically an anything goes section like Bull) Well, a few folks had a lot of fun. Maybe too much for some off the tight-asses over there.
RoadsterGirlie posted a thread entitled, "Who likes Porn?"
PigPen followed up with, "Poontang... It's poontangy!"
After that, Gary Fishsticks shut down Banter and stated the "rulz" as we know them. He said all threads had to have a "point" as in no threads like, "Hey.. how's going?"
Thus the Pointy Board was born and Team Pointless (used to be Yourmiata.com) a.k.a. the Darkside was born out of the refugees from Banter. RoadsterChat came along about a year later to fill in the gap between the two.
Every post/thread must have a 'point'.
No mindless/drifting/comedic/hijacked threads like we enjoy here!
OK, I see now. I did a search and found nothing that looked like that.

Ah what can ya do, that was The Artist formally knows as Droptop's (black roadster) explanation.OK, I see now. I did a search and found nothing that looked like that.
The world needs the Pointy Board. We lightly make fun of it, but it is an incredible source of collective wisdom about Miatas. The only board I've seen that even comes close is s2ki.com. I honestly believe that theis one of the finest forums on the Internet period. Yah, it can be somewhat overbearing at times. But it is always civil, the mods are (nearly) always polite, and Gary's insistence on running a "tight ship" has created an enduring website with few equals.
Thank goodness for the
S.
Been around Miata's a long time. Now I know why it is called the Pointy board. See even some of us old timers learn things.
I agree 100% with that. I've researched many a question there!
I'm glad someone cleared that up... Since the kitty emoticon is used when referring to that board, I thought it had something to do with...uhhhh, the p word that rhymes with wussies... But I'm old and often mislead myself.Of course, maybe that emoticon is NOT a kitty...

Did I type that? Guess so! :P
The Pointy Board does serve a purpose and does have some useful info and knowledgeable but often anal peeps.
Just don't make the mistake that "everything" you read there is correct.
Many people spout off opinion as truth.
The only thing I can't stand is some of those mod-nazis. Especially this one...
Is that Bill Murray? :)Especially this one...
Let me help clear this up for you!
= rhymes with wussy.
Yup, ya got me Sam...but the pointy still looks like a kitty, albeit without whiskers... I said I'm old, could be a bit blind too... :P
