AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the perceived decline of the General Discussion (GD) forum, with participants expressing that it has become "tacky" and "nonsensical." Many contributors feel that GD has lost its vitality since the departure of notable members, leading to a lack of engaging content. There are humorous exchanges about upcoming member awards, including "funniest member" and "most improved," with some joking about bribery and campaigning. The conversation also touches on the need for more open discussions, suggesting that GD could benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere where members can freely express their thoughts, even if controversial. Overall, the tone is lighthearted, with a mix of nostalgia for the past and playful banter about the current state of the forum.

GD = PF comedy central

I thought the discussion on pages 3 and 4 of the thread Physicists & Engineers was pretty reasonable.

And Evo started a thread on Yummy Recipes which is rather practical and delicious.

Otherwise GD = PF comedy central. :biggrin:
 
I agree, GD is dead, but its been dead since people like entropy (the old one) and mr robin parsons left or where they kicked out? I can't remember now, lol.
 
It seems to have its ups and downs. Right now, all those upper boards are pretty slow too with the kids all away on summer vacations before school starts, and the rest of those kids are down here rotting their brains, so it seems a little worse than usual lately.

Hey, there's one thread that's been on-topic here for ages! :bugeye: I think everyone else is afraid to even go near the Disney thread! :smile:

Andy remembers the good old days.

Yes, GD passed away quite some time ago.

I'm pretty sure that mr.robbin parsons was banned. some of his posts show why too!

All I can say is that the Guru ribbons will be coming up soon and if you aren't posting your little hearts out RIGHT NOW, when the voting starts, no one is going to know who you are.

Time to get the lead out guys. HINT HINT

:!) :!) Pengwuino, you looked so lovely in that Penguin Tower that I am sure you are a shoe in for the guru ribbon. :!) :!)

I believe the ribbons wil be awarded in October, so there is a little over a month left to campaign.

Those chocolate deliveries are still arriving on schedule, aren't they? Do I need to increase the frequency of delivery? o:)

Poor Pengwuino forgot to mention that the tower pic is actually what was seen under a microscope at 125x magnification. :-p

Increasing the frequency of delivery is never a *bad* thing. :wink:

October?! But, but, but, I'm going to be busy moving when I need to be campaigning! The sex party needs my leadership! Then again, I was considering running on the PF Sisterhood ticket this year. I think the sisterhood is a strong party this year. Who could resist voting for gun-toting nuns? Anyone? :rolleyes:

BLAM! Ratta tatta ratta tat tat! BLAM! BLAM![/size]

Anyone else? :biggrin:

You have my deepest respect for your vision and good taste. :approve: :biggrin:

You mean you never got the chocolates?[/size] Moonbear! [/size]


Actually, there is another possible reason why you haven't gotten the delivery:

Chocolates are small beans, i offer a crate of sherry, half now half later :biggrin:

This is the reason GD is dead, i mean what relevance does chocolate have on the life and soul of GD?

Shouldnt have said that really, now some wacko is going to justify why chocolate is the life blood of the entire Universe.

  • #39
I do think GD could be improved:

i) we need to become hotter in this forum, so ladies please do it better. Sorry, men are so, we need action and PF girls don't give us nothing of this. Maybe american women are so...

ii) I propose to make GD an open forum, where everybody can say what he want. You could insult, you could talk about religion and sexual fantasies, you could discharge your fury over an undesired member and so on. "The discharging forum" would be called.

This forum will evolute when we are already to talk about our most hidden rubbish and share it.

Does anybody dares to say I don't speak up and clear?

Wolram, don't you were complaining about GD is dead? Well, my comment is going to live up here. :smile:

it would never work, would be a rotting cesspit of decadence and just plain filth that should be left somewhere else...dunno where though. And yea i think it could be a good laugh, lol.

Dark, liquor filled chocolates, the kind that they have in Europe that they don't sell here in the US are soooo good.

Are you in a bad mood today?

Brown nose! This kinda thing never used to happen in the good old days, bk in the day you would argue with a mentor get kicked off the forum just to come back again with a different username. Where as nowadays everybody's to busy sucking up to the mentors.

What kind of society have we become?
