Pondering.....
 

I was thinking.... i see alot of complaints about how OBS is nothing but flame-wars and comic relief. Why don't we take all serious discussions to the History forum? or maybe even make up a new forum for serious discussion. I like watching and even participating in political debates and such, but in this forum there are too much "comedians". Furthermore i think this proposed new forum should be moderated by someone who will enforce the rules, ie. if you don't treat a thread with a certain amount of respect you will be dealt with. Well, what i need is suggestions on who should mod or if this might even be a good idea.

I hate to say it, but its the truth. These children would ruin any thread in any forum. Just look at some of the BS that they have produced here. 9/11 Rememberance signatures defiled, the christian board "fagging".

There is no such thing as a serious disscusion with a lot of these people. There is nothing sacred from them, they dont care. I imagine this thread itself will be turned into a series of random post that have nothing to do with the base topic. No MOD could police this bunch, i mean look at Spooge, he himself helped ruin a post about the christian forum. I can see my ban/semi-inteligent written retort for even mentioning it.

Too some what some people do on this board is acceptable. Too others is assinine, 9 year old bullshit. The only reason i stay is to keep up to date with up coming games that are often mentioned, and seeing whats going on with Mohaa. I think the few things i like here out weight those i dislike and can avoid.

A good idea that will never work.

Sounds like a good Idea Innox, the history discussion forum seems to run better, less flaming, and more serious discussion. I too dont like it when someone blows into a thread with random idiocy(loki comes to mind).

Christian board?? Since when was ZJAM christian??????

Well, I ain't going nowhere. And don't worry....This is the only board I post on...! Haven't posted on another forum in like 8 months!

I am serious, but hey, my serious talks usually ends up something like an America vs Canada debate.

like TMT?

Tripperloveswhores

Shall be my name. I shall visit this place you speak of.

yeah like TMT

The administrators have to accept it! BAHAH! Maybe I should change my name to: TripperLovesJesusSo

See, my point exactally. Even this thread has been turned into an "ass shovel haven".

I have only talked about my seriousness and TMT sucking.

Hey [Miscguy], just curious about your age.

hake: hake:

Shut up fool. Quote where I have ONCE said Shovel on this thread. It's not me doing the damage, so don't bitch and claim it was me. I always attempt to keep it on topic, only when it's a pointless thread have I not bothered. And this seems pretty pointless to me, so I won't bother. A couple times me and Milla screwed some threads over, I admit....But that was like 3 weeks ago......So quit your whining.

Pyro your two post in this thread are fine, i dont mind the random statments as much as i do the random conversations that start out of threads.

If i started a thread intitled "Im going to kill myself", I would get within 5 replys someone going off on a tangent About how i shouldnt use an American made gun, cause it would probably not work. Country war insues. Then it would be turned over to the real bad people who would say. "Who gives a fuck". Then Tripper would mention something sexual along the lines of "i like to shovel bang dead corpes's". At that point the talk about me killing myself has ended and cant be restarted, no matter how many normal post are placed in it.

It just gets old. Having good topics get over run with useless post that spur more people to go off on that tangent.

Have you TOTALLY ignored what I said? If I ever post something as meaningless as that, it would relate in someway to the topic, or someone would have refered to my Shovel antics previously in the thread. I don't start the tangent, I am simply apart of it, on SOME occasions....But then again, EVERYONE does it. I don't understand why you chose to sum up the problem by blaming it on me.

BTW, If you post a pointless thread about Killing yourself....You deserve to be lead off-topic.

P.S. You can't do sh*t about the way things work around here. No one can. Take it, or leave it, It's simply the way things work.

Wasnt blaming it on you, you just have the most "off handed, off topic post" ive ever seen. Offerd a good example. And you must admit you do go off on those tangents with 1 post. Today Con rio posted about the zboards and you went right off topic. If i hadnt posted it would have continued.

Over all its not one person who's the problem, its the fact that theres many that all feed off the BS of the others. So one post about something that brings up something else thats a joke for that group sparks that thread off as a "ass shovel topic". I use you as an example again.

Perhaps we do need to give a Serious forum a test run. If it becomes just another off topic BS, it can be trashed. As Tripper pointed out some people dont wander from off topic, or general.

As for not changing it, only puttin gup with it, read my previous post, a little ways p to see why im still here.

Yeah, well.......THROW YO' SHOVELS IN THA AIR! angel:

When I first came across this topic today I really didn't think that we needed it. But I take a look at the two forums I visit. The History Discussion and Offtopic BS. One covers history and is serious so the only other place to post Off topic serious things is here. Not all of the time it gets a serious response. After looking that there are many serious here, a Serious dscussion forum might be benificial. However, what do you think will happen to this section. It will be filled with poop threads and other rediculios things. I'm not saying I don't enjoy those things, i'm sure we all do, but this section well sure go down the crapper,no pun intended. It will become the "Goof Off" forum. Is that what we want? I don't know. But a serious general discussion might be a good idea.

it might be possible if flipside is banned from it.

I'd just like to say, personally, I enjoy the state of affairs as it is....And don't get me wrong. I can and am serious quite a lot on this board.

I say no because there is no such thing as serious discussion on this board. Sad to say. Then again maybe people with dumb-ass remarks wont go in there out of respect.

Who cares about bein serious? What the hell is this? A job?????????

i think old reliable is right...........whats the point being here if you can't have a bit of a laugh.......a serious (and i mean a proper serious) discussion tends to get boring and more like reading the friggin newspaper........sometimes i'm reading through a thread and thinking, fuck shoot me now.

as the adverts say "LIVE LIFE TO THE MAX"

I think this is a great idea, but I also have doubts about how well it would work. If this did work I would be all for it....I would also be saying goodbye to a large portion of my free time, but oh well.

As an alternative maybe a bunch of us "serious folk" should look for a new board to discuss these more serious topics.
