Offsite Politics forum - do not discuss it here at videohelp

[rhegedus]

Laydeeeeez and gentlemen,

For those of you that like to discuss politics in an open and friendly environment, you might find the forum I've set up interesting:

www.politick.org.uk

It's small but accommodating, and should provide a place to discuss anything political.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of political leaning.

Hope to see you there.

[indolikaa]

Indolikaa highly recommends this place.

[rhegedus]

Thanks

Nothing like talking with some smartass Brits about politics. That .uk always scares me away.

[Capmaster]

I recommend registering there and joining in the fun. It's been up for days and not a single flame yet

Plus, I got a place where I can still use my wet kitty avatar

[rhegedus]

I couldn't think of a suitable domain name that still had .com available.

No doubt someone will find one pretty quickly

Don't let the .uk put you off - it's just a name

[Doramius]

I know the person you can purchase www.supwidis.com For the longest time it was just a single page that had big bold letters showing "SUP WIDIS?" with pictures of people shrugging their shoulders a counter at the bottom and a guest page to sign. My friend said it was very easy to maintain. Wouldn't doubt it.

Rob,

Why is the administrator a separate entity with the handle "BOSS"? Plus you're a member there with your regular handle. Is "BOSS" a friend, or is that you?

[888888]

Ok. I didn't notice it was YOUR site. Jolly good then in that case. I visited it and it seems like a great and civil site. I have an urge to go on there and start posting, but talking about politics just gets me too fired up. Like I can't sit still and sometimes get very angry and start feeling like a victim in some kind of huge machine or something. Not very healthy for me. There are some issues that I just feel too passionate about (a draft, drug policy, affirmative action etc). I think I will stick to bitching about DVDRs instead.

Oh yeah, that won't get you fired up at all, will it?!?!?

Sorry, couldn't link to your second post in that thread directly for some reason....

Both me - I didn't want the admin/mod tag next to the name I'll be using just incase it put people off from replying. I'll just use the BOSS username to do the forum admin (moving threads etc).

HAHAHA You caught me. Well, unlike world politics, at least nobody gets killed if some bad discs are set loose on the market... although some folks at Ritek or SuperMediaStore should definetly get their ass kicked

Smart. Don't want anyone holding back because you're in the thread

[Doramius]

Does this mean we can't post porn on your site? Or do we have to keep it covered with pasties and lip covering thongs?

[rhegedus]

No, I don't want naked Hilary Clintons, Nancy Pelosis or anything like that.

I suppose you could if it were politically oriented. There should be years worth of it from the Clinton years!

[Doramius]

What if it's Hillary Swank in Patriotic colors? Maybe Denise Richards with a US flag tattoo over her left breast?

[The village idiot]

Here's another good one IF YOU LIKE TO CAUSE TROUBLE

http://www.hipforums.com

Major make over since last time I was there. Wonder if Achtung v8.0 still works I may have to try later.

[Doramius]

Heck, we need another thread just to list all of the sites we need to OT Post Whore in. It's like an 18 year old girl on a Friday evening with a group of friends doing the bar hop Scene.

[The village idiot]

The one I mention has some special meaning for a few people.

Let's just say that post whore doesn't really apply. It was more like an infestation that only went away when it became boring

Any of the rest of ewe guys out there?

[northcat_8]

Great...just great....ANOTHER browser window to monitor

[Capmaster]

Well the name-calling has started over on the politick forum. I was hoping everyone could discuss politics like adults, but that didn't happen. It took less than a week to deteriorate.

It makes Baldrick look wise for not allowing that subject here I don't have any desire to spend my time reading flames :P

[pacmania_2001]

I didn't think it was that bad. I would hardly call one person calling another a name a deterioration.

[Capmaster]

I didn't think it was that bad. I would hardly call one person calling another a name a deterioration.

I can see what's coming though, especially in an election year. Maybe it was unfair of me to expect too much, specifically that everyone could behave all the time. Maybe that's not possible, and maybe unrealistic with a public board.

To Rob's credit, he did post a plea to keep things civil. He's trying to make it a nice place

[flaninacupboard]

i take it this bad behaviour is in the bushvskelly thread?

[rhegedus]

I can see I'm gonna have to start a

Please report problem posts / threads / members here!

section.



Anyway, we can discuss it there and save Baldrick's bandwidth.

I've got carpets coming tomorrow and there are some lovely rouche sofas chosen by Queer eye for a political guy coming the day after. The only problem is that the Feng Shui consultant is double booked with a job on jeex's pimp-mobile........

Very tasteful Rob. Very swish, but very tasteful

[lordsmurf]

This should be a sticky. Then everybody will know where to go.

Good Idea.
