I'm hoping it's only temporary, while you're all playing with the new toy.

Ode to the General Discussion Forum
You served me well
My Forum friend
Is now the time
For things to end?

Im here.



Its 1 thing that U cant be popular here without feeling guilty for it but U have 2 be saucy 2 now.

It's absolutely disgraceful that there is a "Love, Sex and Relationships" forum now. I feel ya, Ras.

I realised then that I'm spending too much time here

It makes us all seem like a sad, lonely, perverted, voyeuristic lot yearning for attention by having a whole forum dedicated to it. I hate to be so harsh, but it really irritates me. Again, props to Ben et. al. to being receptive to the opinions of others, but I really hate that forum.

I think it's a good idea. It'll be nice to see what the GD forum mutates into now.

Appreciation threads/what are you listening to now threads/picture threads.

eheheh! U know they say Ur in love with that person when U wake up and they're Ur 1st thought! .

I feel bad about yesterday. Nothing 2 do with DudeDrops at all he seems a great guy and I totally respected his point. It made me feel shit in that becuz people know me and they've stuck me down as some1 they like I kinda feel guilty about spending 2 much time here. U understand what I mean? I dont mean 2 get at any1, I think its a bad reflection of myself in the sense that I should be doing something more constructive with my time. Like making a Santa out of loo rolls or something.

Moonbeam said:

I agree with all your points. The other thing I hate is that it's going to make talking to other orgers a little harder now.
It was great having everyone on one forum...but now we have them spread out everywhere...I can just see it getting harder to know people.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

hehe now I'm scurrred!

And your second paragraph - what are we talking about?

althom said:

Co-sign Althom. That had crossed my mind 2. I feel I wont be closer 2 some people now.

Ur thread Im afraid 2 say Raspberry.

althom said:

already I'm getting confused, trying to post on two threads (both about the new forum) in two forums ... but I would argue that mine is in the correct place ... or is it? (another potential issue)

JDINTERACTIVE said:

oh don't worry - it didn't turn out how I wanted it to either JD. I titled it wrong so it was my fault, but once I realised it I don't like to rename titles unless it's really necessary, cos it pisses me off when I can't find one that I'm looking for cos some bugger's renamed it

... but really, all I intended to do was give a few shoutouts to people I hadn't really talked to before, or hadn't complimented before. I could see Dudedrops point though - it creates cliquiness, which was actually the opposite to what I wanted to do. I regretted starting it - I did it all wrong

Raspberry said:

This thread is slutty!

JDINTERACTIVE said:

rather like the author

Raspberry said:

eheheh, I wish U were in with me now! eheheh!

Off this thread goes 2 the S,LandR forum now!

as for me, i'ma stay pretty far away from that forum (of course, save for moderatin it as necessary)...i've never cared/been involved in the sex-type threads when they were on here. i think it's a sucky idea too, there's a whole forum dedicated to that...but the way i see it is this: have this forum inundated with sexual-related threads like it was till now, or curtail that type of talk altogether.

neither one would go over well with some folks, i suppose.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I have a feeling that most threads that start here will end up "there"

Shouldn't this thread be in Site Discussion?

And more importantly, can I say shag in this forum?

I'm confused?


(The GD Forum does seem a little flat, but give it time to settle in before we judge.)

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I kinda liked the odd sexual thread, especially the ones that were funny rather than explicit.

... Now I have something to post about Prince Charles and a sexual act - I guess I'll have to go over to the "other" place

mcmeekle said:

you're right ... I guess it's only a matter of time before this thread gets moved ...

... it shouldn't be here
