Well me and Dim just had a chat and we think its time to button down on the side conversations. Its just that too many topics seem to get off topic too fast. This is pointed at everybody, so I don't want any ONE person to be offended. Just try to stay on topic guys, alright?

Regards,

-The Files of Dim and UBH (Part I)

I totally agree, since Im new to the board I was surprised how my introduction got off. Nice to be noticed though.
Come on lets keep it within the topics, at least try.

Who I am I to lecture anyone!!!

It's just like what your signiture says-It is unavoidable, it is your destiny

ok ej your online. Remeber its GL signature not mine, but it`s a good one though.
At this hour you must be a yank.??? Louisianna???
Well I used to live in Arkansas, me and Bill the Main MAn

A Yank...As in Yankee?

Yes a Yank as in Yankee

I was born a Yankee but have lived down south since 91'.

*AHEM* This isn't the right topic to do that!

Please...stay on topic

I did that on purpose, UBH. I surprised you just now found out.

Sure EJ, whatever Back on subject NOW... I don't want to be harsh.

But moderators must. Opps...I did it again.

Boy, staying on topic will make the GDF very boring. Let us know when you're on holiday, UBH. We can handle Dim. \

Queeq a forum isn't for dinky side convo's that why you can get back on ICQ or AIM or MSN, whatever one you have. And its not very bright to admit to side-stepping a mod's rule right on a public forum.

Are we going to have to seperate you two?

queeq, I if you want to talk about something silly...just make a topic for it...this is GDF afterall..

I don't have any of that. Come on, UBH, lighten up. It's only a forum. Please don't pull rank on me, it does not become you.

Hmmm, a separate thread... something like "The GDF Ultimately silly-nothing's off topic thread".... great idea. I'm sure it will have many sons, grandsons, nephews, cousins etc.

queeq abides...anyway

Ummmm...stay on topic.....mmmmm..okay, I'll stay on topic.
To commment on the topic.....uh....okay. Stay on topic. Got it !!!

I guess queeq can make one of those topics if he wishes, at Raz's consent of course. And the limit on that topic only will be allowed to exceed 100 because his little comment is scaring me. Silly Post hand-downs with generations are not needed. But as a small request, my temper is hanging on a thread right now with the whole KingJedi thing, so please (Gundie, Queeq, EvilJedi) don't yank it down to where I explode. Thank you.

I'll wait a little until things cool off. And Gundy's going to be your hostess on the thread. Right, Gundy? Drinks and food included.

queeq abides

Large quantities of adult alcoholic beverages highly recommended for today.

UBH, I promise I will behave. (Gundark drops lightsaber hilt on floor, kicks it under the bed)

On my future thread I prefer you do NOT behave.

queeq abides

queeq, in case you didn't notice, UBH used my name and I don't wanna make him use it again. I promised to behave.

Personally I don't think we come off topic THAT much. I think that it makes it much more of friendly community if we have a chance to slightly change the conversation while on GDF, while still staying along the basic lines of the original topic. I mean after a while there's not much more to say, apart from stuff about something slightly off topic. Soz, I ain't really making much sense here.
But still, I shall do my best to stay on topic if that is indeed what you want.

My, have we gone dull of a sudden. *sigh* So be it. Chicken anyone?

queeq abides

I would have some, it's just that unfortunately we're not allowed to come off topic.

<Darth Daft sighs as he has to go without chicken>

Thank God, I've been thinking about this for a long time!!

Jedi Merc your back!!! Sorry Gundie if I offended you, I am just upset with this whole KJ vs. Beal vs. EJ thing right now. I am a lot less steamed right now, I am not mad at you, so don't think that, if it wasn't for your cheeriness I would have killed someone! (Not really, I dont kill people... )

Yeah..UBH wouldn't hurt a fly

IM blad this happened

Well, you scared ME, UBH.

queeq abides... with extreme prejudice

Thanks, UBH..you made me feel a lot better.

Merc, I'm sure you meant glad and not blad, and if I irritated you in any way, I apologize.

Gundy's turned humble.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

queeq abides (but it's not easy)

Hmmm, well you point is well seen, within the main bulk of the forum. However, in the GDF I understood that we did as the title described and had General Discussions.

In the rest of the forums I think UNH is right and, as one of the main offenders, I will commit to stay on track else where. But in here I think we should be able to let off a little steam.

I agree..I think the only thing we need to watch in the GDF is the habit of running every topic up to 100..if you find the thread getting off track and you want to continue talking along different topic lines just open a new topic..that way we don't end up have to lock every topic and it will be easier to find if it's in a title that makes sense.

Okay...DD open yourself a little chicken shack topic.

That point is conceded Dim, when a thread comprises of something that is OT in the GDF, just start a new thread. The idea of just waffling to get a thread to one hundred is rather silly. Conversely though, if a thread is ongoing ontopic for 100 posts, should it be closed or should it be allowed to continue???

I like 100.

queeq abides

I personally think that as long as everyone is still on topic it should be able to go past 100 posts and carry on until there is little else to talk about. Of course, perhaps making "son of" topics works better, I don't know.

I like 100+.

queeq abides

queeq is obviously having a left brain/right brain problem.

I'm not as smart as you. Sorry.

queeq abides (in ignorance)

Maybe we should stick to the 100 post limit, cause sometimes I go back and re-read things to check what was posted before I post so I only look like half an idiot instead of a complete one. And I wouldn't like having to re-read 12 or 15 pages of posts. IMHO OC.

Even at 100 posts if you're trying to find a particular comment within a post it can take a while.

100 does seem good.

Also, let's remember that the GDF was put here by RAz (God bless him) for a reason and that was to curtail all the off topic stuff a dngeneral stuff into one area.

If we continue to post off topic in the rest of the forum it makes a mockery of the GDF concept.

Well said, RC.

Aye, Aye. Well said. RC for Chancellor!!

queeq abides

Erm....... ok....... but........... erm......... well......... there's something I need to ask........ erm...... CAN I STILL EAT MY CHICKEN WHILE AT THE FORUM?!?!?!?

I put forward the motion that DD can ALWAYS eat his chicken anywhere anytime. It's part of his personality, not part of his debating abilities.

Anyone who seconds the motion say AYE: AYE!

queeq abides

I guess so, just eat it quietly!

And if you're going to actively discuss it..we need a chicken topic

And Dim made a chicken topic...just for you DD. What more could you ask of a woman??

Gundark! You dont want to know what more I could ask from a woman!!!!!

Errrr... no we don't finti.

And Gundy can actually make a great chicken. Yamyam.

queeq abides

I guess you could ask a woman to pick up some beef jerky at the store for you, finti, but beyond that...hmmmm..oh nerts, I'm off topic again...

To comment on the topic...yes, we need to respect the mods requests by not posting silly things like Gundark constantly does. Yeesh.

Well...I can think of some other things...but my mind's always in the gutter

Okay...back on topic...any other suggestions on how to keep a more orderly board?

More orderly? With a gutter mod?

I've always followed the example of Gundark, who was here long before me. Of course, the circle is now complete and I am the master, but that's besides the point.

queeq abides

And off topic again, well it`s just elementary my dear queeq.
<finti refills his be....verage>

Well, I think that the message has been read and understood by all. To maintain this thread as open is just going to work to its detremant as some of the previous posts in this thread have already demostrated.

Can I respective request that the mods pull the plug on this one early?

I move for a vote of....CONFIDENCE...in RC's request.

I rest my case.

Traitors! All of you!

queeq abides

Ya big baby!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

queeq abides

Ya know, sometimes I think you nmight not be taking this very seriously....

At least I am, RC...I'm not a little crying baby sith.

(Gundark puts on best behavior cap )

And queeq is left with the dunce hat!!
(raw norwegian laughter as finti goes into his darkest of moods.)

It's a durty job and since there are no wookiees around, someone has to do it. Feel free to take over.

queeq abides

I have under the postings select pic #28.

You make me feel very proud.

queeq abides

I don't know why this is still going, it was more of a bulletin than a discussion post. Post closed!
