There are certain topics discussed on the SDMB that come up in waves. I thought the staff might consider new forums to accommodate them. How about the following new forums?

1. The “All Men Think Of All Women As Potential Sex Partners, Make Them Feel Uncomfortable And Are Potential Rapists” forum.

2. The “There Is No God” forum.

3. The “Lord of the Rings” forum.

4. The “Monty Python Quotes” forum.

I always love to see threads (even single posts) where the general idea is some variation of:

– My computer won’t turn on  
– I can’t connect to the internet  
– My keyboard is broken  
– We have no electricity  
– I have been kidnapped and am locked in a room with no computer and would love to be able to post but can’t

I’d like to see a “Shit I’m Not Even Remotely Interested In” forum, but I’m afraid it would be too large to be practical. 😃

The Troll Feeding Ground

Sure, DNFTT might be the wisest policy. But there’s something about dog-piling on an unrepentant smirking idiot. Like picking a scab.
