We got broseidon, awesom-o, benji and andrex last time. Should we invite more? Cause inviting from gaf doesn't work cause they can't deal with the hazing ritual new members here go through.

but are some of those even new members or just hidden past members.  :shh

I'm losing interest in all forms of internet communities and social networking, which is sad because I'm still spending the same amount of time on the internet, only interacting less. Maybe we grew apart, maybe we should start seeing other people, I don't know.

I think Green Man is calling us all a bunch of pussies. I'm inclined to agree.

I think a lot of the problem is systemic- I don't think having catch-all threads for all music, movie, tv, random talk etc threads helps spur discussion.  I know for a fact that I never bother going in those threads because they're stupidly large and if I want to talk about a specific album or whatever I don't find them helpful.  And even if they are good, it concentrates all of that discussion into one thread so it seems like the board is slower.  Whatever, just my opinion.

There's no new games to talk about and movies kind of suck this summer, ergo dead nerd board.  :spin

Truth is we're too homogenized we need to merge with another board like a MLP board or something.

Huh? It's the same as always. It's just that we now have so many threads dedicated for specific shit. These days if we want to discuss every day life we just go to the random talk thread.

I do and don't agree.  I feel like the difference will be a lot of threads with few or no posts.  the Random threads are like logged chat rooms.

at least on the gaming and movie side, I'm ok with Babu Bhatt'ing this place up and spreading topics to multiple threads.

I'd like a thread dedicated to relationship advice and another one to general shit.

that would be good too

It has been brought up before, but I don't understand why some are afraid of "few or no posts." It's a small forum and that's how it's supposed to be, unless you're worried about perception. Any given topic is more likely to generate more replies in a dedicated thread, plus any uninteresting thread that gets few to no replies is more likely to get ignored in the logging thread. Of course, one would argue that no one HAS to stick to the blogging thread, or any other catch-all thread, but people are less motivated to do so when they're around.

It's just an opinion, and it's certainly not what's holding me back from being more active, but some of my favorite moments in this place would probably be tucked away had these threads existed years ago.

Edit:

Goddammit Fresh Prince. :lol

All this talk. Action is needed. If you want to create a thread if a girl looked at you- do it.
