new forum request

alsih2o · 15th October 2002, 06:05 PM

i think we need a new forum.

it should be titled "start your own damn website"

it could cover a broad range ot "ot"only posts, have room for prose and contain a special section for complaints.

for convenience a whole new set of moderators could keep watch on it. heck to make it really easy it could be on a different server with a different name and have a different email address. the font could be easier to read and maybe it would have mod rules more similar to "insert your favorite website here"

just a heapin' helpin' of sarcasm as we a pproach the THANKSGIVING season.

Couldn't have said it better...

While we are at it, we need to open another forum called "WotC's Doomed" and let all the peeps who predict the end of WotC, the OGL, and D&D run with it to their heart's content. It seems to come up every few months around here, especially when WotC has a round of layoffs.

I couldn't agree more on the new forum!! It seems like we've really needed it the last few days.

..., a bullywug deity, an Eastern deity of destruction, the guy who coined "C'mon, August!," a rather warlike dog, and some vile darkness.

Neither did I, was just hoping that someone was not seriously posting that.

Since the orginal post was edited, you should probalby edit your post that quoted it.

Thanks Grazzt for taking care of that.

Sorry.

It was absolutely a joke.

I was trying to cover:

Website-is-bad posts

Insulting posts

Holier-than-thou posts

WoTC's-doomed posts

And, of course, Hong reference.

Having put all of that in there, I really thought no one would take me seriously. If you look, I've never flamed, avoided angry threads, and tried to compliment people where possible. I just did not think I would be taken seriously, based on the whole thread being tongue-in-cheek.

Again, sorry.

That is what I thought and hoped, never can tell nowadays.

I agree, but it wasn't done in a way I could tell it was a joke. But, problem averted, on with the topicless topic.

A dry sense of humor does not translate well to strangers online. I do hope people check out my posting habits. Being mean or rude just isn't what I do here. I have always tried to apply the 'If you can't say something nice...' but as stated, I figured everyone knew this thread was goofy, and would not think I meant to insult as opposed to lampoon the subject.

If I'm rambling, sorry, work numbs the brain, and I'm honestly reeling from seeing that I upset so many here. Like I said, not my style, not my intent.
