It's been quite some time since dubs were introduced to the textboard world. Is there any point getting angry when somebody posts some piping hot dubs ready to be checked? By now, I would think they are a welcomed and inevitable part of textboard culture, especially since dubs are so easy to get on a textboard, as opposed to an imageboard. It should be your duty, as a /lounge/r, not only to merely get dubs, but also to proclaim to the whole /lounge/ that your dubs are ready to be checked.
>>1 I'm an internet cyberhistorian so I can probably help out here. I've been meticulously archiving chan sites for decades and documenting the evolution of their culture. Doubles were originally introduced onto /prog/ as an attempt at mocking the imageboard phenomenon - while imageboard doubles was considered by textboarders to be inane and stupid, at least the high speed of the boards gave it an element of randomness. In constrast doubles on a textboard have no element of randomness and are therefore completely deterministic. There is "game" left, so why play it? The question "Why play it" is what was being ironically pointed out by these text boarder doubles posters. Of course imageboarders had no way to reply, they just continued to enjoy their game: In time textboarders would realize their efforts were meaningless and the only way to continue was, themselves, to enjoy doubles.

dubs are banal, dull, hackneyed, jejune, overdone, trite, unimaginative, unoriginal, uninteresting, uninvolving, and vacuous.
