So there you have it.dAN says: so I guess I'll do a 'posting rules' thing in Vespers and maybe other mods'll want to use it in their forums if there are any 'heavy traffic' threads my rules will apply to....
Lucimay says: nice of you to talk it over with me before you post some obnoxious RULES, DAD.
dAN says: uh...I am talking with you right now, idiot
Lucimay says: I SAID NICE OF YOU, didn't i?
dAN says: basically, I want to say "If you see you have a large percentage of posts in a given page of a given thread, and when you look back and see it's the same thing on every page, then lighten up, ok?
Lucimay says: HAHAHAHAHA
dAN says: give others a chance to post, because others are probably avoiding it when they see a few have pretty much taken over there.
dAN says: so you like that?
Lucimay says: that will work...try to be NICE. heh
dAN says: that was an attempt at nice
Lucimay says: AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Lucimay says: you're hilarious
dAN says: I know it's not classy, like say, coming in 6-packs
Lucimay says: aha ha ha ha (cocktail laugh)
dAN says: but I think it gets the point across.
dAN says: oh, yeah. I'm gonna post a thing or 2 you said here, ok?
dAN says: in the rules thing
dAN says: if you don't like it, say so now, or just edit it
Lucimay says: ok. now what were you saying about cannoli?
dAN says: i said i hate them. shut up.
Lucimay says: but i thought you said...
dAN says: shut it.
Lucimay says: but..
dAN says: ssssst.
Lucimay says: o

Okay, so Luci and I were having our semi-regular modly meeting and it's become fairly apparent that certain threads seem to get posted in by the same few people, and it might be stifling these certain threads, so, I thought I'd share our conversation in the hopes that some will take it to heart.

I kept noticing that I saw someone posting every other time in a few threads today, so I posted in them, and, sure enough, a few minutes later, this person had posted again. Well, I got to thinking that I've glanced at this thread a lot during my time here, and I keep seeing the same name here, and frankly, I don't post there because I keep seeing the same name there....anyway, I may be the only one who even notices this, but I 'm not going to let that stop me from having an opinion about it...anyway, I have my pruning shears at the ready, but I'm hoping that I'll see some self-control so that I don't have to use them.

The second problem with these threads is that they have very little content value. I have the feeling that most people just glance at a few titles, scroll to the end of the page, and post whatever it was they came to the thread for. I noticed the same thing when I was modding here. I tried creating alternative threads, like favorite lyrics discussion, but you see how far that went. *shrug*
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

exactly Syl...which is why i thought threads about specific players and instrumentalists might spark more discussions about technique or style....alas, it did not.
i mean...it was fun naming all the best musicians i could think of (but considering the state of music in the last 15 years or so...that's gonna necessarily be a finite list, eh?!

null speaking of himself in the 3rd person, and adding to the tonnage of the debate, is what I think you mean.sgtnull wrote:i likes music. guitars ist pruty.
null adding to the tone of the debate...
I have to ask, do you refer to yourself in the 3rd person because you have 3 accounts here , or do you have no reason for it? If it's the former, that that would mean you put some thought ino it; it it's the latter, then you'd probably make a good drummer.

no rhythm, no drumming.
null isn't me. so i refer to that aspect of who i am. oddly enough because of work more people call me sarge than by my given name. julie will sometimes call out sarge to get my attention.
i envy everyone who can play. i hear these songs in my head but will never be able to play them.

I, for one, am quite intrigued by what Luci may or may not do with a cannoli.
