The SDMB has lost it’s innocence. Now that we have a forum dedicated to who the best Spice Girl is, we’re no different from any other message board on the net. I know it’s early, but I don’t see anything good coming out of this any time soon.
slythe, congrats and best wishes. You have your work cut out for you.
Just a suggestion, if it bothers you don’t go there.
I second that motion, Ayesha. If someone has a grip about a forum, then stay out of it.
If you want to stay in the Pit, you have to throw some shit.
What I don’t know is why they don’t call it by its right name: MPSIMS-Lite.
I don’t see what the big deal is. It’s essentially the same stuff that was in MPSIMS, and it’s nice to have it broken up and organized a little more…
Spice girls I can tolerate but if Britney arrives I don’t…
I am just wondering what it is that does make “us” different from other message boards. What is the divine mission here that you feel we are straying from? I know that Cecil (or whoever’s in charge of publicity) wants new members here, I FOUND THIS SITE THROUGH EMAIL ADVERTISING. It seems like a lot of what I find here is people playing at being an exclusive club. Nothing wrong with that, but an exclusive club must have a reason of exclusivity: ie, and IQ requirement, certain skin color, yearly income, and so on. Just wondering what makes this place so special as I was certainly not asked any of these things when I registered.

Brunetter,
…So are you saying that the SDMB spammed you?
IMHO, if you don’t like the polls or “Who is your favorite Spice Girl”-type threads, you should really like the new forum!
There they’ll be posted, or at least eventually relegated, so you may more easily avoid them.
As posters become used to the “flavor” of IMHO, you should stumble upon fewer and fewer of them.
'Scuse me, quite right (muffled snicker), you have a cogent point here (imperfectly stifled guffaw) that deserves ::splort:: serious consideration…
Braying, wailing, helpless heel-drumming laughter follows, accompanied by floor-rolling, pants-wetting, tears down the face, o stop it hurts, honking, hooting hilarity
The dignity of the SD [horse laugh], the majesty of the combined Teeming Millions gathered around the iconic fount that explicated the workings of penile implants (Slug’s bicylce pump!), the caloric content of ejaculate and relative physics of Catherine The Great’s fondness for Clydesdales.
Gotta love the folks who read the score but don’t hear the music.
::wipes eyes, snuffles::
Yepper, gotta admire those who think truth is pretty.
