the great multi-forum thread contest

the contest:

come up with an idea with a thread that will stay in every forum – or if not all then at least three or more. i’m not saying that the mods won’t check all forums and see that there is the same thread in every forum, but if it is ‘in the right place’ it should work anyway. we need proof, so provide the links for the different threads.

the prize:

oh ok, mod for a day (i’ve checked it out, it’s ok).

Every forum?!?

:stuck_out_tongue:

I just wanted everyone to realize this is highly against the rules, and no one should do it.

Cross-posting is frowned up, my friends.

well, i didn’t realize it was frowned up, sorry guys.

Ahem. Just because my fingers disobey me doesn’t mean I’m not right!

How about if people post the topic and a brief description here, and others can debate whether or not it would fit in certain fora? No illegal activity (as far as I know).

“Is there a God?”

Lots of people have opinions: IMHO. Lots of people have factual cites: GQ. Debate could ensue, or people could jsut bring in cites: GD. Personal anecdotes relating to God’s existence, or the lack thereof: MPSIMS. Ranting about how shitty life is: BBQ Pit. Comparison of TubaDiva and Lynn Bodoni to some sort of higher being: ATMB. Exploration of the role of religion in, for example, U2’s life (as they’re certainly “arts”): Café Society.

“Moderators, what’s your opinion of that South Park episode with the word ‘Shit’ and does Cecil agree with it?”

very nice, fupb, very nice.

iampunha and enderw24, good examples. too bad this can’t REALLY be done though…

iampunha, while I think it would be okay in GD and IMHO, I can’t see the mods leaving it anywhere else.

I mean, technically it would fit in, but it’s really GD material.

I think, though, we have seen the best example of what could go in almost every forum: Subscription debates. (MPSIMS, ATMB, the Pit, IMHO, I could see it in GD…)

Well, cross posting an entire OP would certainly be against the rules, but starting unique OPs with the same subject certainly would not.

The trick is to get a subject that is pertenant (?) to the current Cecil column, which’ll be tough.

Moderator’s Notes:

Yup. Cross-posting identical OP’s is strictly verboten. And altering them slightly to fit each forum ain’t gonna win you many friends either. I’d advise strongly against it.

tubadiva wins!!!
