Okay, I finally asked to change the blurb (the old one had been up since May 2004).

It now reads, "Whether they be Uncanny, Astonishing or Adjectiveless, this is the place to talk about the X-Men and related titles!"

I know you folks can do better.

So, well, do better!

Come up with your own blurbs for the X-Men Board and post them here.

In a week, I'll pick my favorite and that'll be the new X-Men Board blurb!

Is Iceman gay? Does Claremont still have his magic? Can't find anyone else to dress up as Emma Frost to your Wolverine? Rant here at the X-Boards!

For the ladies:

I get gawked at by all the acne-faced fan boys in the lcs, and all I get is this t-shirt...with holes where the boobs go.

When you're totally hooked on all that says X-Men, don't worry, you're not alone.

This is the place where you will find other X-addicts.

"Do you like debating how many mutants still have powers? Can you not quite believe how bad Pete Milligan's X-Men was? Do you like arguing over who Kitty Pryde worked best with, Colossus or Pete Wisdom? Then this is the kind of place for you. Come on in."

"In 'ere be X-books talking. Cronin be all powerful 'ere so you be respecting him.

All hail Cronin!!!

Also hail The Fury, he's cool."

Or (My proper one)

"Common subject in here: Is Iceman gay? When is Jean comming back? Who should hook up with who?...we need new subjects, post them about the X-men in here."

Do you spend hours pondering the sexuality of Bobby Drake? Bashing one out over Morrisson? Wondering when the KILLING IS GOING TO STOP!!!?

Don't come here. You'll never leave.

"Think you're the best there is at what you do? Is your knowledge of the merry Marvel mutants the focused totality of your trivia abilities? Well, then, welcome to the X-Boards. Hope you survive the expereince!"I vote for this one.

Though you could maybe work in a line about "protecting those that hate and fear you."

Actually, it kinda is. Not in a winning kind of way, but it does capture the occasional spirit of the board.

I think the use of Claremontisms like "The X-board does not abandon it's own!", or "Is your knowledge of the merry Marvel mutants the focused totality of your trivia abilities" is really funny.

"Can even your healing factor cope with the Newsarama message board like it used to? Can the focused totality of your dislike for Chuck Austen smash through mountains? Are strict moderators among your most dangerous adversaries? Are you nigh invulnerable when your blastin'? More importantly, do you like the X-Men? If you can say "yes" to at least one of these questions, then CBR is the board for you!"

I also like what Atoningunifex posted and we should totally add something about the hate and fear thing Matt.

Good call.

Perhaps something like this:

Are you the best at what you do? Does focused totality of your powers usually result in insightful and occasionally homoerotic posts? Do you love to be hated and feared? Do people throw things at you in the street? Welcome to the Uncanny X-Boards!!!
