Regarding bitching forum

[Sir Isaac Lime]

Perhaps these threads shouldn't be displayed on the main page.

[jimkopelli]

A sound suggestion.

[mgb]

You think you are so smart.

You have to be a member to see it. (I just checked).

Let's not get into sub forums though.

[jimkopelli]

Yay, extra fast implementation makes me happy. Pre-emptive is even better.

I'm gonna have to ask you to move these comments to the "Anti-Bitching Parlor" thread. These comments are way out of line here.

Gotta love the irony.

[file cabinet]

I have suggested to the mods/admins that we create a usergroup specifically for people that want to participate in that forum. so then people who weren't a part of the usergroup wouldn't need to see it. I'm not totally sure how the usergroup system works, so if that does happen, someone would have to PM a mod/admin to join or something else(I think vbulletin allows us to create "open usergroups" so you can join or leave at anytime.. ).

This I find ironic...

edit: I should read the entire post before responding...

What's bad about the bitching forum is no one really does any real bitching. It reads like a bunch of grade school kids on a sleepover away from their parents using words like "fuck" and giggling cause they can get away with it.

that reminds me....

[purple13]

sheesh. I'm away for a few days, and all hell's broke loose. What's with all the bitching going on? Is this some kind of group therapy exercize?

[booyalab]

I suggest making an anti-purple13 thread, before *someone else* does

[purple13]

That would be too easy. I am my own worst enemy.

"The billiard sharp who any one catches,

His doom's extremely hard--

He's made to dwell--

In a dungeon cell

On a spot that's always barred.

And there he plays extravagant matches

In fitless finger-stalls

On a cloth untrue

With a twisted cue

And elliptical billiard balls!"

- The Mikado, G&S


Different idea, same tone.

[jimkopelli]

BTW... Do posts count in the Parlor? Just wondering if they should... especially if they get deleted or whatever...

[melancholeric]

No the posts don't count there. I would have reached 1000 long ago if they did.

Why would they count when they are removed weekly? Removed posts are always subtracted from postcount anyway.

[jimkopelli]

But... are they not counted right then, or are they removed when the posts are?

Maybe a notice should be put in the sticky.

[SheepDog]

Yeah, remove them from the search. I'm not interested in any forum in which posting will NOT help my post count.
