Even More Conversing Uselessly

[icarus]

I want to debate about the topic why firecrackers give a loud boom, and that firework in the future should be much more silence.

[Yonkey]

We tried having a "controversial topics" thread in the past, and it turned ugly because it somehow degenerated into religion vs. politics.   History is alright, but obviously there are aspects of it which are religious and political as well.

So, instead, let's make Petra's personal Haven thread be the History thread.   However, just like any other thread in our forum, if posts end up being too controversial or offensive, they'll end up getting modified or deleted.

[Petra Rocks]

Aye, I can see that. I take very great pains not to rile people when I am talking about politics but I don't blame you at all for not wanting them here.  This would probably be more a debate for the sake of debating, like the goofy why is spam fuzzy debate that has no real topic and where the challenge is to stop people from laughing so hard they can't talk not keep them calm.  Those topics are designed to be impossible to get angry about.

And *cough* last time I checked I don't have a haven thread. Unless you count the GDP in Daventry thread, which by the way is looking for more recruits ifs anyone wants a debate. *hint, hint* 

[Yonkey]

Yeah, I meant the GDP thread.  It has your name in its title, so let's say it's your thread.

Also, I love debating as well, but I know how easily they can escalate, which is why we avoid controversial topics in this particular forum.  I don't want to reveal too much right now, but keep an eye on our future products (i.e. non-TSL related ones), because their target audience are going to be a stark contrast from this one.

[Petra Rocks]

Ooooh, is that spoiler?    *Grabs and runs off to horde*  *Ehm* I mean, yeah you are probably right.  I have no desire to cause strife. 

[Yonkey]

Ooooh, is that spoiler?

In honour of Deloria:

I'm just saying that people who like debatable topics and whatnot may really enjoy what we're cookin' up.   Oh, and don't bother asking Deloria for info this time since she really doesn't know any more than you do.

there goes neil again, ruining all of the fun.

[Lollotte]

I know, really. Now I'm intrigued. Thanks, Neil. 

[Yonkey]

Hehe no problem.   I'm actually pretty excited about it as well, even just from the basic concepts and planning we've done so far!

[Lollotte]

Will it be an adventure game set in modern times, or something?

[Yonkey]

Will it be an adventure game set in modern times, or something?

You'll see.

[Lollotte]

How did I KNOW you were going to do that?!? 

[Rosella]

We tried having a "controversial topics" thread in the past, and it turned ugly because it somehow degenerated into religion vs. politics.

I thought it was locked when it started because it MIGHT degenerate.

[Yonkey]

Nah, I locked it after it degenerated.   Then it got wiped out later that summer with a bunch of other threads when the site died.  Hahaha, oh well.

[Lollotte]

Well, I guess that's karma for you. Unfortunately, other less deserving threads got wiped out with the controversial one. 

[Yonkey]

Actually, the ones that got wiped out weren't that important either. Everyone was on a spamming spree during July & August 2003 so no one really missed out on much besides inflated post counts.

[Pacman928]

your defonition of important and my defonition of imprtant arent the same.   please elaborate.

[Yonkey]

Unimportant posts = spam

[Pacman928]

your elaboration made it shorter.

[Yonkey]

  Actually, they were so unimportant that I don't even remember their contents.  All I remember are people begging me to raise their post counts because their spam got deleted.
