I keep seeing frubie/frubal, etc ... help a new gal out here and define it? Thanks.
Frubals are RF's main export good. Their confection is a trade secret known only by its owner and a select circle of associates.
There are legends about their miraculous healing powers, but in truth they are far more than that.
However, that is the reality. The cover story that I am allowed to admit is something else entirely. To witness:
"Frubals are a gone but hardly forgotten feature of the previous forum software. In some respects they are comparable to the current "Likes" system, but had a bit more punch to them, including spirituous descriptors, fancy colorful 'medal' patterns and, for a long time, an eventually abused system of proportional mutual growth.
That because when a forum user liked someone else's post, it was expressed by an (anonymous) giving of frubals. Frubals were not lost once given, but they were given in amounts of (IIRC) one and a half percent of the giver's own frubal total.
Human nature being what it is, that soon enough led to the creation of a
secret oligarchical cabal with supernatural powers I am not allowed to reveal I mean, of whole threads meant exclusively for the
illegal traffic of frubals healthy, mature and no doubt purposeful mutual giving of frubals. Had frubals had any actual purchasing value, it would have been destroyed then and there.
As it turns out, the frubal totals grew so large that a mass devaluation
did happen anyway, leading to a
dark I mean, glorious sober period when frubals were only given and received one at a time. It was
the triumph of the proletariat dirty communism a necessary concession to the limitations of forum software, which could only safely handle numbers before they grew to a certain value.
The current forum software never had frubals, but
they will live forever in the hearts and minds of the Resistance many forum users remember them and keep referencing them out of habit."
Yes, right, that is the truth.
Or so I have been said to tell you.
