Title: I propose the creation of a new Evilbore forum
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on July 08, 2007, 05:53:49 PM: I think that we should have three forums:

General Discussion
Gaming
Stupid Fucking Internet Drama

This move would entail splitting the Hot Dog Bar into two forums.

- "General Discussion" would be for movies, music, relationship advice, internet pranks, homosexual subtext, youtube videos, cat macros, ans do on and so forth.
- "Stupid Fucking Internet Drama" would be for the OCD level "I know you are but what am I" threads that are popping up with increasing frequency, personal insults, post count comparisons, jokes about people's disabilities, and of course the photo thread. This is where people with super sandy vaginas can make beautiful pearls together.

In this way, people who think message board dickery is funny don't have to deal with the people who think message board dickery is SERIOUS BUSINESS. Because those people are oh so vocal in their angst and ire.

I further propose a subclass of Townie Leper that can only post in Stupid Fucking Internet Drama.

Thoughts?

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on July 08, 2007, 05:56:11 PM: Stupid Fucking Internet Drama, of course.

In fact, perhaps SFID could default to Comic Sans! That would make everyone's virulent posts about who has the less valuable life extra awesome.

Before: Seriously, commit suicide. You have nothing at all to live for.

BORRRRR-ING.

After: Seriously, commit suicide. You have nothing at all to live for.

Now that's a troll!

Post by: TVC15 on July 08, 2007, 06:06:45 PM: What happens if I want to play in SFID but I do not have a legitimate dramapot to stir? Hmmm, say, Corny, could you give my cell phone a few calls?

Post by: The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment on July 08, 2007, 06:07:23 PM: Why don't you just fucking ban Lemurs and Cornelius? It's that fucking simple, but of course I wouldn't expect you distinguished mentally-challenged fellows to figure that one out.

One is underage, one is overage, nuke them both and fix the problem in one swoop.

...I bet you're more fun to try to talk to than monosyllabic Stalky though. Ooga booga like what, man?

Post by: Mondain on July 08, 2007, 06:08:56 PM: the problem is that many threads that initially go smoothly end up turning into inane drama fests midway

not sure that it's a good idea to add more sub-sections to this place either, it's not a good idea to add too much clutter... nevertheless, yeah such drama threads and such constant meta-threads about other posters are pretty damn lame, but there's probably no real way to prune them

there aren't a lot of regulars here compared to other places, so as thread selection isn't that high and it's always the same people replying to each other's posts, it creates a lot of bickering... in other places people just get lost in the crowd

Post by: Stocky on July 08, 2007, 07:26:31 PM: I'm just going to respond to Corny with a screenshot I happened to keep. It's really the only argument I need.

Post by: BlueTsunami on July 08, 2007, 07:35:09 PM: I actually agree with Patel. It would be a way to move a topic without locking it and people could continue spouting shit within the confines of that forum.

Post by: MrAngryFace on July 08, 2007, 09:48:50 PM: I like how the people who revel in the drama cry out against it. 98% of you make this bed; I think you can sleep in it.

Let's keep it around.

Post by: Ichirou on July 09, 2007, 09:27:52 PM: I agree with Patel on most parts...basically the SFID could work as a sort of baby dumpster that's accessible to everyone. It could work two ways: One, you could just start a thread that's meant to be irrelevant arguing in SFID. The other is, moving a thread that started out legitimately but has totally degenerated into inane banter/bitch-slapping (a la the Comic Sans thread). Once a thread is completely derailed and is just internet dick talk, it gets moved to SFID and the relevant parties can continue the thread there.

Here is bagofeyes with a great example of an attempt at thread derailment.
