Well, maybe I would if it wasn't infested with disgusting juvenile banter.

Well, the disgusting juvenile banter is going to happen anyway, and it needs a home, so General Discussion is it. Apart from which, I think 'infested' is a bit strong - there are usually quite a few intelligent threads knocking about.

You could always try to tip the balance a bit and start a few intelligent, tasteful threads of your own. People around here do enjoy a good intellectual thread now and again. Of course, there's no guarantee that your tasteful threads will remain that way, some folks thrive on disgusting juvenile banter, but I guess you take your chances and ignore the crap.

Point well taken, thanks. I retrospect, I shouldn't have posted this. Live and let live, right?

actually at the risk of sounding like a cranky old git i gotta agree with 8up.

the general discussion forum is quite the morass these days. yes there are a few intelligent threads here and there but they get lost almost instantly in the threads about dick, pussy, nipple and buttplugs.

it's like being in grade school again and being faced with childish graffiti on the toilet stall walls.

i think thread limits would help immensely. like, one new thread per member per day.

ok thanks for listening.

I must respectfully disagree with you. I actually am a cranky old git lol and I don't particularly like the fact that there are so many stupid childish threads in GD either. However, the GD forum exists for entertainment purposes. Obviously, what counts as entertainment isn't the same for everybody. I see no reason to stop or restrict anybody's fun just because what they consider fun I consider juvenile and pathetic. Putting thread limits on GD would be counterproductive, and if such a measure were ever introduced, I bet you two cans of spam it would be revoked after the first 3 pages of the Site Discussion forum are filled with whiney "why can't I start any threads in GD" threads.

Threads would get jacked more often and people would use multiple accounts to start more threads.

There are a few people who really annoy me. Not only do they start threads about virtually nothing, but they also jack other threads to talk about stupid shit and keep going back and forth endlessly.

i do understand that some folks think it's ultra cool and the height of entertainment to discuss their body juices, body noises and functions, things that come out of their noses etc. they have the right to that preference.

but imo it would be great if folks were restricted to one thread only, per day. yes there would be whining initially, and yes more multiple accounts and yes more thread-jacking but at least there wouldn't be entire pages of threads about body functions authored by one individual.

it's only my 2c

this whole site seems like useless drivel now a days.
Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater?
