...how our forums are kind of like the land issue in SL????

A person will come here and try to post a meaningful message - and suddenly the thread is filled with ugly, off-topic, ridiculous, terse, pedantic, hateful, overly helpful, hedonistic and/or just plain not right responses?????

I am tired of trying to post and never getting the response that I want...
I am giving up on posting this very second...
I am gonna just let my membership expire and watch you all try to express yourselves in your predictable styles!!!

:p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

yes i have noticed this. most of what we post here is useless drivel that rolls down the drain never to be referenced again. but once in a while, we manage to accumulate a couple of pages of meaningful dialogue with the each other. occassionally we even manage to interact well with the lindens. those times make all the dead space in between seem worth the effort.

i do my best to encourage newbies the same way. one day they will find land in a sim wholly owned by people that understand electronic computing limitations and know how to share. it may take months or years, but it's out there. just keep searching.

This also explains why highly intelegent people turn into trolls and shoot people in the ass on a regular basis.

People who create threads need to be able to delete unwanted posts without being a forum mod. That would clean a lot of the noise.

I think some people have too much time on their hands. But Ursa, we can't let them win. I have tried to develop a filter and just ignore a lot of the drivel. Like Khamon said, sometimes, every once in a while like those typing monkees, something good comes out.

Ooh what if there was a post limit. Maybe by charactar or by time. Then people would try to make their words count. Of course there would be alts submissions, but even then it would keep down some of the trolls. Not suggesting it, just dreaming, so don't flame me. LOL. (Umm does saying "don't flame me" every stop anyone from being flamed?

*bump*.....

ursa...come back....dont be that way. If we didnt let ppl post whatever they wanted in the manner and thoughts as they liked....then thats stepping on someones rights.....Lindens may mediate to keep a balance and that is plenty of parenting enuff.

besides...you would miss the pointless points...the negitive knights that say NI....the poopie stinky whinny butts that post all the live long day. If it really bothers you that much then that gives you a reason to post when need presents its self as to the "drivel" that fell outta someones head onto a thread or post.

now....you have a job....you can offically start with me....because i just driveled all over your thread.

yah...i stole the word and i am gonna use it often...."drivel".....word of the day.

<<<<<drivels back to view forums....

hugs and drivels

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!

lol - this has been a perfect example of my point!

I love the way we mock - verbally abuse and, yes Jolene, drivel all over each other. I never intended to not post again. Where else can I expose the contents of my head - white and drippy gray matter...any way I want!?

Three cheers for forum kooks. BUT I stand firm on my dislike of no protections when it comes to my neighborhood! I think we need to develop a weapon that the Lindens cant take away - then we can control our eensy pixel world BWABWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
