This Place Is Quickly Turning Into A G*ddamn Morgue!

[geloge]

I agree with you on everyone except Razor.
I'm only saying it's nice and peaceful here just now, hopefully more lurkers will start posting.

I'll just say I don't think this was a less peaceful place because of Razor and I highly doubt he stopped anyone from posting.

I agree with Dpnice, I would like to see some people here, but still there are a lot of interesting ones.

I didn't agree 100% with ANY of them. How boring would that be ?!?!?! Do you agree 100% with all your friends???

I didn't say 100% though. Maybe I should addend what I said to "Who you like doesn't mean everybody does."

I think we're cutting close now.

Some would like this site to be "Hello, how was your morning?"

I would trade that for the posts and perspectives that personalities on the caliber level of Razor, Huntneo, Johann and thatgirl would bring to any serious discussion.

Farmville's peaceful too but it would be a really boring place to hang out socially.

My definition of "personality" is different from yours.......... that's for sure.
Personally I am here to have fun I am not here to be patronised by self-appointed intellectuals.
Huntneo and Thatgirl knew how to balance the fun with the serious stuff................. I can't say the same for the other two you mentioned though.

Buzzer, HT is mainly the forum where people dick around............ the serious Forum is CE&P.
You see, sometimes HT feels exactly like CE&P except for the fact that here the threads are generally quite trivial and not worth a flame war (I am sure Thatgirl, JP and Huntneo left for that reason).
I am not saying you can't have serious discussions in HT, but it has to be said that recently HT has become a fun free area.

I hate seeing anyone go. We already get enough hate in the real world than to be turning it on each other here. It's like your family, you don't have to like them but you should still love them.

If you're going to put it that way, I could say that F&G exists for completely trivial friendly banter and Hot Topics by definition is going to have news articles or issues that many people would say are "political" get posted. I've seen that as being completely normal. You're writing the definition of Hot Topics as a screwaround social venue and nothing about its title implies that serious things aren't going to come up. It's fairly normal for the same news item to be the new top thread in both HT and CE&P at the same time.

What seems to get posted in HT most are news articles, discussions about personal issues, threads asking for people's opinions on a given topic, or whatever else. Nearly all of them have the potential for serious discussion. I dislike the crowd of people who come into those threads implying people shouldn't be discussing that, or making fun of poeple for having a serious opinion, or derailing the thread with off topic stuff. I have no idea where you got the idea that Hot Topics really "isn't for" anyone to ever discuss anything seriously. That's utterly made up.

... the serious Forum is CE&P ...

You're joking. Right?

That's exactly what F&G is. Fun and games.
And HT is all of that too, because, by definition, it's a "general discussion". There is alot of social interaction. There is alot of serious discussion too. It's a variety, and that's why it's interesting.

Right. There are both serious and more lighthearted threads. Certainly no one expects a political debate in a happy birthday thread. But there are definitely people acting as though anyone getting serious about a real topic coming up in HT are "in the wrong forum" or whatever and that's just some arbitrarily made up rule by people who seem to never want to see any serious discussions. There was nothing "wrong" with any of the four posters who left just because they occasionally had weighty thoughts on serious topics that might get heated.

And that's the beauty of it... I don't like some of your friends either.

I have a low opinion of F&G. Therefore, I stay out of there.

Were I to go to F&G, I would conduct myself accordingly to the feel of the rest of the thread, not go parading through with 3 pages of GIFS because I didn't like it or the people in it, just to be annoying and disruptive.

If you put the right glasses on though you might be able to read also...............

There is a difference between HT being a Theme Park and the Morgue (just to stay on topic) it has been for the last few months.

And that's fine. Nobody is forcing you (or anyone else) to post anywhere. I don't believe there is any thread anywhere in which any member or kind of member isn't welcome. If someone does come in and says something against the majority of the posters, that's what causes the problems. So instead of calling them out, just ignore it and move on. If you think they're intentionally doing it to annoy you (or anyone else), then report it. It's really pretty simple. But if I recall correctly, your poll about the gifs recorded that more people liked the gifs than disliked them. Does that mean all that much? No, because there were only around 60 votes.

Tbqh, I'll miss how some of them got pressed over petty things instead of worrying about their own lives.
