I’ve been off the message board for about a month since my father died. It seems to me that there are a whole lot of people who desire nothing more than to put their name on a query. Here is an example:
“My 20 year old Navy-newbie son just got his first marching orders. OK, maybe “swimming” orders, and they are to Diego Garcia. For those unfamiliar with the area, take out your globe, find the Indian Ocean, head straight to the equator. If your globe doesn’t have too big an equator band, you might be able to find it. It sits right on the equator, about 19 miles altogether. There is nothing there but military. It could be a lot worse, NO ONE is bombing it. He will be safe, except for sunburns. But it does mean we won’t see him for at least a year, which SUCKS. No where else on Earth is as mundane and pointless as Diego Garcia.”
There is no question here. There is no interesting observation. There is not even a perverse opinion.
It’s all just blah, blah, blah, all day long. Let’s have a SD get together in Cowtown (whatever the fuck that is); let’s debate the merits of BushGore (as if anyone really cared). Maybe well talk about whether the period should be inside the bracket or outside of it.
Who really gives a rat’s Ass?!?
A month ago, people seemed to discuss topics a bit more. What happened?
Having reread my post, I think it may belong in the Pit rather than here. I apologize. Moreover, I’m not sure that as new as I am I really want to delve there yet…
There is a forum for “mundane pointless stuff I must share”. I think you must be in a very small portion of the population that would get upset about people sharing mundane pointless information there. Don’t like it, don’t go there.
[And to get this sent to the Pit faster]
Jackass. Go start your own damn message board.
huh? The post you quoted was mundane, pointless information. The general point of your entire post seemed to be that you objected to people discussing mundane pointless stuff.
Hi! I’m new! I have nothing to add but I’m going to bitch about topics I see here… Why? Well, I have nothing to add myself but I expect everyone else to provide me with entertainment!
Get bent! You, like, oh I don’t know, a THOUSAND newbies before you have done the same thing. You don’t like it here? Don’t let the electronic door slam you in the ass on the way out!
Things not hot enough for you? Start a new topic. Don’t like what we talk about and think you can do better? Hey, then, have at it and start a new topic!
I’m really sick and tired of newbie shit-holes saying, “the board’s suck” and they don’t do a damn thing to make them better.
It’s really easy to say, “It sucks”. It’s a lot harder to stick around and actually do something about it.
Wanker!
Oh, gee, yes, I flamed a “newbie” I guess that makes me a bitch. Go ahead, start a thread about what an asshole I am for failing to “understand” where this jerk-off is coming from. At least THAT will start a thread this jerk-off will be interested in!
Oscar, there are a few different forums. If you don’t like MPSIMS, head on over to GD and butt heads with those guys. Or go to GQ and be helpful or something. If you really don’t find anything that interests you here, it’s okay to leave. Really.
I’m not going to satisfy you with that kind of reply.
Maybe things are cyclical and maybe I caught things on an upswing when I first arrived. Maybe things are on a downswing now. Perhaps. I doubt it, though.
What is this evidence of again? Have you read every thread? We’re a bunch of people that like to discuss stuff on a message board. Sometimes you’ll find the discussions more interesting than other times. Probably has as much to do with your interests and attitude as it does with any general board-wide trend. What the hell are you looking for anyways?
Sorry about your dad dying. It’s never easy when you lose a parent. I have lost both of mine and I miss them terribly.
As to the rest of your post? It’s a big fat whiny one and even less interesting than the posts you are saying are mundane and pointless.
Did a little search. In the last 4 months the wonderful OO has graced us with his presence, he has initiated a whopping total of 2 threads (other than this whine and an admin test).
Come on, you wastrels. You just aren’t working hard enough to amuse the boy. What is wrong with you sluggards. Are you only thinking about wast interests YOU? What about our little friend. Amuse him!
Oh yeah. OO? I guess it is true. Every boat needs at least one anchor.
