...
in an ideal world, all shady characters from all 3 forums would be forced upon each other in one forum, and just put up with it. just like the real world. thats always been my viewpoint. alas, i dont think that will happen.
...
we need to revitalize. someone to take control and force the three forums together.otherwise its just getting too lame.
Years ago I screamed my stupid little head off to reunify TNCR and WTF (FS seemed to be gryphon by himself)
It was futile.
WTFrs were adamant their gated community was here to stay.
They claimed they could not abide in a forum where personal insults were permitted, but it is amusing to watch how they personally insult over there without personally insulting.

Interesting that the left differentiated itself years before the right felt the need to - (and yes Left/Right and inability to be with others who are different is primarily what defines WTF and FS.)

But yeah, let's get some guns and force everyone back into the same house.
Sounds good do me.

That would be the stupidest thing you could possibly do. Last time this place had a big dust up, ask yourself who it was that had started posting here again. Then ask yourself why the place began to work so well that I became known as the "new" Larry. Now ask yourself who it is that started posting here again just before the wheels began to fall off - again.

Sounds to me as if you are saying that you are the problem.

I for one would love to have a common forum. I don't post at WTF, because I don't want to post in too many forums and I miss the diversity that we have here, but it would be great to have everyone in a single forum.

I don't really mind the fighting. What pisses me off is the navel gazing that follows the fighting.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

I dont mind the fighting, nor the navel gazing. What rubs me wrong is the bad attitudes toward the navel gazing after the fighting.

The only thing that really pisses me of is people who are rubbed the wrong way by bad attitudes and navel gazing.

Well, you are the one who said something about the "new Larry" etc., so obviously you are suggesting that you were part of the problem, because otherwise there would have been no need for a "new Larry".

If the forums are going to die on their own, I say why waste the opportunity? Full tilt flame war! We invade the other forums, pillage them, and steal their womens! Who's with me? If we're going down, it may as well be in a blaze of glory!
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

I read nearly the entire 26 page "My Prescription to save TNCR" thread. It was very interesting.

This year's version wasn't just a liberal/conservative schism. There were differences regarding religion, gay rights, and racism in addition to politics. The earthquakes were along multiple fault lines.

Someone in the Prescription thread said that this place is like a biker bar. Some people like the knock down, drag out fights in biker bars, others don't. Those that do have hung around here.

Maybe some folks just got a little too bruised in the biker bar and went away to tend to their wounds. Maybe some have decided they've had enough of the fisticuffs. I'm sure both have happened over the years.

I think things will sort themselves out as time goes on. TNCR will either go back to biker bar mode or morph into something different. Or it will go away because it has run its course.

In case you have time to kill: http://s10.zetaboards.com/The_New_Coffee_Room/topic/7088153/1/

Strictly speaking, it's a biker bar filled with piano playing computer geeks.

"Abundance of X chromosomes" I like that!

I hung around the forum for a while before I signed up, and I always felt sort of sneaky about it. I subsequently learned that my behavior was called lurking and people do it all the time. What can I tell you? I'm an Internet forum newbie.

When I went to sign up, the "Who is John Galt?" line from Atlas Shrugged came to mind, so that's the name I chose. Nothing more meaningful than that. Maybe Johanna Galt would have been a better choice!

I've read several of Ayn Rand's books and have found them interesting, but would definitely not categorize myself as an objectivist.

As for the randy.....I take the Fifth on that one and hopefully preserve a tiny bit of the Galt mystery....

...some of whom have charming British accents.

Wow, this place is beginning to sound like that cantina full of weird creatures in Star Wars...

Renauda is. There was an unfortunate accident. Please don't mention it around her.
