I sometimes see a question posted that I feel is really dumb. I have posted the ocassional joke/retort sometimes only to find out it was probably posted by some kid which, of course, makes a whole difference. I got to thinking it may make some sense to have a separate “Junior Forum” for this type of situations. There we would all know that we need to be extra patient and understanding and polite and the rules would reflect that.
Lately I have seen some flames in the IMHO that seems to me should be in the pit.
Another thought: It seems IMHO and MPSIMS are not that different and many people do not know where to post. I also understand that with the sheer number of messages the board has to be divided somehow. I was thinking that there are many messages of a personal or social nature (Wally, birthdays, gettogethers, what i found in my bellybutton, etc) which might make a nice social forum and be separate from the more object-oriented stuff.
just some thoughts… if i can get them in as the BB today is the slowest I have ever seen it. It seems mane dopers are back to “work”.
