Go vote libertarian, ya schmuck!

and move to wherever they hell they're planning on outbreeding the natives!

No, i hear you malta (and sharkz I was thinking of some other things more colorful than the lounge, but i figured something bland would be less intimidating). On the one hand, we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that this is a class society and the moderators are the holders of decency and are somehow different then everyone else. But on the other hand, I think that our aging population might do well to have a seperate place to discuss things without being overrun by our own upper-level craziness.

Even though I don't mind the idea of a new forum or anything, I don't think a moderator is necessary. We've all known eachother through this very medium for years. We can moderate ourselves. If somebody's inane topics or posts become a problem, leave it to us to take care of it one way or another. Flaming and arguments usually aren't a problem for us (though lately we've had some heated debate, which I'll admit is good to see. Get this place kickin' a bit), so I don't see the need for a moderator to decide what threads should stay open, and which ones are locked.

That's just me. Don't get me wrong, if Bigs is nominated moderator, I'm packing my shit, formatting my harddrive, and...then....unpacking said shit, reinstalling Windows and posting in the forum in question. But by Jesus, I won't do it silently.

Yeah, I too don't think moderation is a huge necessity, nor having any more admins. Heh, sorry for the late response to this thread, just keep finding myself sidetracked

So could you dumb down whatever the suggestion for another forum was? Another forum like the old Gnosis forum or what?

Mr Biglesworth · 07-06-2005, 07:21 PM

what, you think the steam for an idea can last more than a couple of hours? jeeze.
I was just suggesting a place specifically for more serious discussion that demands a higher maturity level. I'd ask the forumers... do we want/would we use such a place?

GT2000 · 07-06-2005, 07:26 PM

Yeah, just I was going back through posts and remembered about this one and looked it up.

Sounds like what Gnosis used to be, serious discussion, plus the random poetry and what not, lesse what people want, I wouldn't mind adding that back in.

i dunno about anyone else, but i'm more likely to ignore threads if they aren't all in the same place
