This is more of a curiousity, since I don’t have any brilliant or funny thoughts of my own (insert smart-ass replies here.) It seems like MPSIMS explosive growth could use another outlet. Anyone have a brilliant idea for expansion? * * * Well, shut my mouth. It’s also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling. ---

A survey forum. For Topics such as “Whose the most popular poster on this board.” ---

How about a forum in particular for those who use MPSIMS as a sort of flirty chat room? A sex-talk and “oooh, your picture on your website is sooo hot” forum? Seems to be a lot of that lately. I’m not saying it doesn’t belong in MPSIMS, but man! Get a room! ---

Yeah, like MK said. The opposite of the BBQ Pit…the Love Nest. Love sonnets, poetry, expressions of ardor, and, occasionally, hardcore porn plots featuring SDMB posters in starring roles. That would be fun! ---

I second those motions. Sounds like good forums to me. Although, do we really need more forums? There are lots of topics. We could probably make 100 forums for them. Where do you draw the line? ---

How about a stupid questions forum? Get rid of alot of those “Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway” things. –Tim * * * We are the children of the Eighties. We are not the first “lost generation” nor today’s lost generation; in fact, we think we know just where we stand - or are discovering it as we speak. ---

I vote for a separate “Chicken Soup for the SDMB” forum. Anybody who is scared, sad or angry, and in need of a nothing more cerebral than a hug and a pat on the head, could take it there. * * * TT “Believe those who seek the truth. Doubt those who find it.” --Andre Gide ---

I also think that a poll or “favorites” board might be handy. * * * How do you like that! And without so much as a “Kiss my foot” or “Have an apple”! ---

How about a MPDSIMS (Mundane Pointless Disgusting Stuff I Must Spew) forum? I nominate the “Look at Homers trash can full of snot thread”. ---
