I was wondering if we could create an Off-Topic Community Discussion thread in the 'Other' section. Just for people to talk about their day, troubles their having, etc. It's kind of like a mini spam section, but posts must follow forum rules and be constructive. It's also a good place to let off steam. I got the idea from BiTForums, here's a link if you want: http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/cgi-bin ... 1247074154It's really fun and a great place to converse in. I passed this by Greg, he said to post it here and get your opinions!

Sounds like a good idea, I certainly wouldn't mind.

I'm curious to hear what you guys think of this, in a way it's similar to the old School Chat section but a bit broader. The only issue may be spam, so I it would probably need a section mod to keep it from getting out of hand. We might need warnings more strictly enforced there.

1. Create a topic called "Daily Anecdotes" 2. Get people to post and make it popular without spamming. 3. Get Mod (Blue) to sticky the thread. 4. ???? 5. PROFIT!!!!

Thought that would be common sense, guess not.

Seems like a section I'd go for. How would it play out? People posting little topics that are akin to blog posts?

It's just an excuse for the people who weren't allowed into spam to have their own mini-spam section, the topic creator even admitted it. Face it, all they're asking for is a copy of the spam section, that's about it.

What I've seen of the Spam Section suggests it's got more oh so great 'intellect' than the rest of the forum combined.

But we're not just going to post replies that say "XXX BEWBS LOL". It where you actually discuss things and occasionally get a laugh or two. Just think of it as a more sophisticated spam section. Except rules are actually enforced in the topic.

More sophisticated?
Judging by the people that would probably post there, all I can say is no.

More sophisticated than spam. You know that it'd be better than spam.

No, not really.
If you stalked spam like I did, you would know that everyone has good grammar, and that actual intellegent discussion happens there.

Have you seen the terrible topics Sayo made before he came back? "Hey guys, I gotta big dick and I'm jacking off" Or something similar.
