Computer technology. So people can keep their computers working to access the board. Nbr 2: Post parties. ---

Hmmm. I still think MPSIMS II is a good idea. Aside from downsizing MPSIMS a little we could have Dopefests, Humanities and Current Event type stuff in there. Also, I think GQ has pretty heavy traffic too. Maybe we could have a GQ II for specifically Science Questions or something. ---

Well, Now that I’ve started it, (go to MPSIMS) a calvinball only forum would be good, so I don’t get confused with everything else. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Green Bean \* > **How 'bout “Homerland,” a forum exclusively for posting drunk?** Homerland!! I love it! Also, a forum for Tech questions might be nice, as already mentioned. ---

What happened to the warning not to say Homer posts drunk? ---

How about: WYWB? Why You Were Banned, for frank discussions about those who, it was decided, shouldn’t be allowed to mingle anymore as they don’t play well with others. You maybe even allow banned members to only post there. I mean, hey, who didn’t enjoy **JDT** even a little? ---

LOL! Here’s a fourth vote for a purely drunk / otherwise impaired forum! 😃 That Girl: I believe that was a warning to not make unfounded accusations (the accusation being that **handy** often posts drunk). An accusation that **I** have, or am, or did, post drunk is more founded than most JFK conspiracy theories. That being the case, I’m fair game. Monkey lady. 😉 –Tim ---

I like the idea of a sex forum, can we have one? Pretty, pretty please with chocolate syrup on top? Kitty ---

Way back when, I submitted a [suggestion](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=20545) to split a forum off of MPSIMS for **Tomfoolery**. My forum explanation, which I think would still work (except that personal opinion is now in IMHO), was: > [@](#): > > **Tomfoolery** > > It could be subtitled: **Idle and creative minds at work. This is the place for jokes, games, wordplay, theme threads, and and other frivolity** > > In Tomfoolery, we could have all of the three-minute mysteries, joke threads, sig line creations, song lyrics, flirting, Bricker challenges (real and knock-off), food fights, first lines of books, “Guy Stuff”-type threads and similar joking around. Just for the heck of it, I’d throw XXXth post parties (to the extent they will remain) and threads about real life meetings into Tomfoolery. > > I would leave MPSIMS to stuff that involves _sharing_. The anecdotes, touching stories, real-life questions and personal opinion threads would remain there. ---

How about WTNOTS forum? (What’s the Name Of This Song?) It’d lighten the GQ load considerably 🙂 Or a DSRM forum. For the newbie who just has to know: Does Size Really Matter? And lastly, WDWPOADADOAP. For the witty bastards who must know: Why Do We Park On A Driveway And Drive On A Parkway? ---
