lol thank fuck. Thought I was missing something dead obvious (again ;p)

BigV · 04-01-2011, 01:45 PM

heh

to relieve your uncomfortable symptoms, take two bromides and call me in the morning. I suggest these two:

"Power corrupts" and "Ignorance is bliss"

Both are very good points. I'll be mindful. Thanks for the reminder.

Do we need both a "technology" (Computing, programming, science, electronics, telecommunications, etc.); AND an "internet" (Web sites, web development, email, chat, bandwidth, the net and society) forum?

Maybe there was a clear distinction way back in early cellar days, but now? When your computer is your tv, and your phone is your --everything.

My suggestion would be to consolidate.

Undertoad · 04-04-2011, 10:28 PM

I agree, the net forum doesn't get much traffic these days either

any objections

DanaC · 04-05-2011, 05:31 AM

None from here. I never know whether to put things in internet or entertainment, since most of my 'internet' stuff is actually online ent.

Just make a new one called Teh Interwebz. We will find all we need right there at our fingertips.

Why do we need home base and nothingland? The same types of threads go there. And we should combine sports and relationships, because sports really is about forging relationships. And music should go with quality images, it's all art.

Well would you just look at that? IM is being a smahtass.

monster · 04-05-2011, 08:28 AM

no objections here. The guys are silent though. I wonder if they feel losing technology to teh interwebz is an assault on their manhood, like losing their man cave to a guest bedroom....?

Pete Zicato · 04-05-2011, 08:36 AM

Technology is more than the internet. Even more than computers.

Some other recent tech topics we've covered:

Robot Hummingbirds
Rocket Packs
Gravity Control by Laser
The end of Kodachrome
more...

I don't mind if you delete Internet, but leave Technology alone, please.

monster · 04-05-2011, 08:40 AM

interwebs could go in technology, though? Or is that like a sewing machine table in the corner of the cave?

Cloud · 04-05-2011, 10:10 AM

not saying the two are exactly equivalent, just that they are related and could be logically consolidated at this point. Just a thought I had.

infinite monkey · 04-27-2011, 05:52 PM

I love your name. It looks good on you.

So I'm thinking SG as a nickname might go out of fashion, and S is just too short,

What are your thoughts on Sun? You are very sunshiney.

monster · 04-27-2011, 05:57 PM

What about Undae? Undies to friends.....

sexobon · 04-27-2011, 06:53 PM

Can we upgrade the troll removal process to:

1. EVERYONE sends troll a friendship request.

2. Flying Fickle Finger Of Fate award gets posted to troll's final thread.

3. Troll is banned.

Is it possible to (temporarily) prevent a user from starting new threads? For their own good, in order to prevent them becoming intolerably irritating to everybody except the morbidly charitable?

And perhaps the mods might consider moving just a couple of threads to more appropriate forums (like relationships and creative thingummajiggy), as a demonstration? I know this is not generally the done thing, but maybe in this case it might be for the greater good?

or.... on the other extreme, didn't Jim and Syc used to have their own forums/forae? Perhaps that's the answer
