Forum unification

Post by enderzero »

I think it is about time the two discussion forums (not the guestbook) were merged to one. Let's face it...there are no more than 10 people that are currently posting on a regular basis. I think more interconversation would be a positive thing. Anyone have a problem with that?

Not a problem per se...

... but is there anyone in the other forum who may not agree with the views expressed in this one? It seems as though there are two very distinct types of discussion between the two, and the people that have felt like crossing over have. Just a thought.

Well my reasoning is this: There are about 4 or 5 people that post in the enderzone. These are a couple friends in Japan, and a couple in Seattle. Then there are 4 or 5 people that post in the monkey lair (obviously the ol monkeys). The discussion of late has not been considerably wackier in the lair. A bit more tom-foolery, but not of the epic proportions that persisted in the old lair or when I started the forum. The reason I originally seperated them was so that all the topical discussion could be in one place, and all the pure wackiness would be in another. Well now the monkey lair is just full of topical discussion, and I think the Japan/Seattle/Monkey lair groups should have more interaction. It is still okay to be silly, but even things like posting 200 blank messages was too much for the lair.

So anyway - if Rick can behave in public, I am going to to merge the forums maybe after I get back from the Ocean this weekend. Cool?

Nice!!

Sounds good. I didn't realize what the counts were like. I wish there was more wackiness. It's hard to do what we used to without webspace. We can't just send a SID tune and a wacky Sigma picture anymore. I'm also tired of political debates over posting ethics. Anyway, go merge.

I had the similar thoughts that

Code: Select all

       J  333  RRR  K  K
       J 3   3 R  R K K
       J   33  RRR  KK
  J    J 3   3 R R  K K
   JJJJ   333  R  R K  K   (bastard)
had where you just let the people who want to cross over do so on their own. Merging the forums will just force people to cross over. I haven't crossed over to the other side because the posts are about rock bands/concerts and team sports...I'm not interested in that. Although there was a mighty fine poll about preferring dead rabbits in bags or boxes which is infinitely more interesting to me than hearing about a rock band I've never heard of breaking up. You were the only one that responded to that poll though so it must have not been too interesting to the other forum. Also since I haven't been to Tokyo I don't really care to take part in discussion about that either.

I say keep them separate, it's a nice filter!

If you want more activity over there then lets just try to post more stuff over there but I'm only going to post wizzzacked out crizzzap...which will probably result in me misbehaving...again...and again...etc...

The Monkey Lair is fixed. No more hostility. I left some of the more funny j3rk wars posts. They are ready for uni-ops if necessary. I think it should still be called the Monkey Lair though.

i'd like to lay

Post by ed9k »

a fat, somewhat abusive post on your mom's scraggly haired sackloft. For some, the sight of her bulbous Gollum eyes and that thin, overcurved beak that has skin precariously stretched around it would delegate no further surveying of the facial region. For some others however, this is not enough. Her mouth is framed by cracked up herpe lips that look more like salted slugs than actual lips. Her grill is reminiscent of black frosted glass that has been shattered by a thousand baseballs-and over those craggy, ebony peaks lays her tongue limp, like a recently slaughtered geoduck, oozing pus and waiting patiently......oh shit.....I just remembered! I just got off your mom and she was telling me that all this absolutely retarded bickering (whether in jest or not) in 3nd3rland is really making her gooch swell. she wants you to knock it off so she can knock it off.

freakin damn right over.

Uh oh it's contagious

now somebody else believes they can help the situation by adding more of the same...

However it would be quite pointless since there is no higher ranking bastard than:

which means I would always win...besides we got it under control already...

Token Fight Club response

Post by Bill Drayton Jr. »

[Fight Club - plane sequence 2]

Jack wakes from a dream and sees the first manifestation of himself as Tyler Durden sitting in the window seat by the emergency exit next to him.
.
. (irrelavant dialog skipped)
.

Tyler Durden (Jack): "Oh I get it...it's very clever..."

Jack (Tyler Durden): "oh.. thank you..."

Tyler Durden (Jack): "How's that working out for you?"

Jack (Tyler Durden): "What?"

Tyler Durden (Jack): "Being clever?"

Jack (Tyler Durden): "Great."

Tyler Durden (Jack): "Keep it up then"

Tyler grabs briefcase and gets up from his seat

Tyler Durden (Jack): "Righto - ah...now a question of etiquette, as I pass do I give you the ass or the crotch..."

Tyler leaves the conversation giving Jack the ass


OH, and you're Jack btw...and my mom is dead...just like my dad will be soon.

dead because I suffocated her with my mantotem......and I never knew about your mom being dead-as they are two disctinctly different moms. It was very clever to spend so much time with your Fight Club recap-it was amusing
