Which type of threads do you like most?

[Ammi]

....serious debates..chat threads..games..music..TV..sport...
..what do you look for first when you log on...?

[King Gizzard]

don't really have a preference, I just click on new posts and look at whatever's there at the time, then when i'm done with that i'll probably gander

[joeysteele]

I like all threads really and post on them all at times, however I am a rather serious sort of guy so I guess I look at the serious debate threads more than others, mainly because I am into and have a great interest in politics and law so they are pretty serious topics anyway.

[Vanessa]

I like all threads. :blush:

[Maia]

Jedward fever's threads

[Maia]

Really though I'm not fussed, most threads I spot on the sidebar interest me and I'll usually go flipping through a load of them. Probably most interested by the chat/TV/music ones though.

[michael21]

sex thread :shrug:

[Kazanne]

Serious debates for me something we can get our teeth into,also like TV threads and threads where we find out about members.

[thesheriff443]

we all pick and choose what threads we post in and to some degree who is posting in it makes a difference if we post in it

serious debates are no different to chat and games beacuse they are things that have happened or will happen regardless of weather we agree with them or not

its just another thread to voice your opinion and listen someone elses.

[Niamh.]

Jedward fever's threads

Actually you made a good point there, there are a lot of members who when I see a thread made by them,I go to them right away to read them and JF is for sure a main one of those for me, you never know when it's going to be a really serious issue or some great thread that will have you really cheered up from him. Redway too has really created some great threads as well.

[Kizzy]

I like serious debates, not all though ones about abuse and such creep me out. really like lemonjams music thread and aristas daft threads. Those silly quizzes can be fun too :)

[Josy]

Any thread really I'm not fussy

How very dare you... I start some bliddy well serious debates, start one then if you miss them so much.

Serious debates transformed into a battle to the death. Not as much fun in it any more unfortunately. And yeah, what happened to NettoSuperStar? I like her too... although I have to admit it's only today I've learned it was "her" and not "him".

I enjoy the serious debates section, beats talking about pokemon (no offence lads :)
If we stick to the issue its good, when it gets personal its not.

Jedward fever's threads

Thank you Mollie.:dance:

And Joey aswell.

Anyway the threads I like are probably a bit more lighthearted but I can get into the Serious Debates if the subject angers me or interests me enough.

[GypsyGoth]

It depends on my mood, that's one thing I love about this place, there is such a variety.

[MTVN]

BB Eye doesn't post anymore either, his Serious Debates posts were normally worth a read

And lest we forget that wellspring of liberal thought, ElProximo. A man so hideously disfigured by his own internal angst that he went around shrouded in a luchador mask like some tubby, homophobic super villain.

Despite my threads, I'm not usually a fan of them, I only really make them to try and get stuff going on TiBB. My favourite threads are usually the music ones, as I spend about 95% of my life listening to music, even when I'm sleeping. I don't mind serious debates, but I try and avoid them now as I've been shouted down so many times for my opinion because I'm a mod and I've given up trying to deal with that.

Owt. Usually GD or SD, though. I'll be checking chat and games, though, whilst we have this current member hotseat shizz going on...

Serious debates is too predictable, people ran out of ideas for threads ages ago and now all it is is 80% religion stuff which gets boring

[Vicky.]

Please dont hunt down MassiveTruck D:

The rest fine, but not him :laugh:

Yeah most serious debates thread seem to just be about religion or about crimes like murder, paedophilia etc. which normally end up in big arguments about the death penalty and stuff

Okay. Might give ElProx a miss too...

Most serious debates that aren't paedophile/religion based turn into long, rambling threads about how awful the Tories are. Very tedious... and not really what I understand the word "debate" to mean. This place has certainly changed... and it's a shame.

[Kizzy]

Its a shame kate had a brill idea there and it would have worked too, if I remember she suggested a topic was posted and members had to request to join to debate that point?..
It would save some jumping into an issue with a totally random load of rubbish that has nothing to do with the issue.

[Niall]

I just click the threads based on whether I think the title's interesting. I don't look for any 'type of thread in particular. :shrug:

I dont see how thats a great idea tbh, no offense to kate (or to anyone who thinks it is)

I mean, if you can think of topics for debates...make a thread in serious debates about it. Its the same thing and its easier for other people to find (for example someone might not want to read through 20 pages of other stuff to find out what this weeks debate is...someone who would have interesting posts in a certain debate might not even know its going on...etc etc)

It was said in that thread too that anyone could join in whenever they wish...so the bold bit wouldnt happen either.


That said though, noone ever said it wouldnt be able to go ahead, and just because I dont like the idea doesnt mean it wouldnt work.

[MTVN]

I don't like the idea of debates being exclusive and people needing to request to join in, it's better to have separate threads for anyone to add to as they feel like as well I think. If someone starts posting rubbish then that's our job to sort out

[Jords]

The only difference with this idea is that you would have an idea when you submit a topic who is interested in debating it.
Like inone said, he started a thread about soccer violence that got 4 posts, if some had known a couple of days in advance he was starting a thread on that it may have gotten more interest?
Im not sure how kate envisaged the idea, hopefully she will let us know.

There was list of members who had joined the 'club' in the op, that to me makes it seem like you had to be on that list to be able to take part in the debate and I think it could possibly have put newer members off taking part.

Ok then Kizzy it wasnt a club it was a debate society, regardless of the title though it still came across as being exclusive to a certain bunch of members IMO and 1 new member doesnt speak for every new member that joins the forum.

I can't see how it would put any new member off tbh as there was no exclusivity from what I remember....Anyhoo its a hypothetical as it never happened anyway.

[MTVN]

You said yourself kizzy it would be a group where "members had to request to join to debate", does that not suggest a certain level of exclusivity? Nobody should have to request to offer their 2 cents in a debate, they should just be free to do so as they wish

[Stu]

It sounds like a cumbersome, needless convention. And it's spawned this boring debate right here which quite frankly sucks a dick and a half.

[GypsyGoth]

This is a mass debate.

[Kate!]

I think Kate's intention was more like a small group, similar to a book group, who hold a daily debate on a subject of somebody in the groups choosing. That's how I saw it anyway.

Just read through this, plenty valid comments, not gonna bore by quoting loads however, this one is the closest to how I envisioned it and the list was for people who specifically wanted to choose topics, although everyone could join in the debates. I shelved it because I was concerned that it would just become a free for all, nobody said we couldn't do it,.quite the opposite, I just didn't feel confident enough as the organiser. I'm better at the lighthearted stuff, but feel free to revive it anyone. The other stipulation I think I pistedbat the time was that topics shouldnt be too contentious. First offering was going to be should school uniform be abolished?

I agree MTVN. I have no issue at all with Kate, but since this has been brought up in her absence... as a member of this forum I don't want to have to apply to another FM for permission to post in a debates thread.

Nice to see that others agree with what I had said in that particular thread of Kates at the time.

..I don't understand how an organised debate would be any different to the usual debates...anyone can give an opinion on them anyway

..yes I understand that..but if anyone wanted to join the debate they would..so I can't see it being any different from the existing debates

It was different because Kate wanted fms to have to 'register their desire to be part of the debate'. That's why it was different.

Where the idea that it is going to be in some way restricted has come from I don't know...

It came from a thread that was around prior (I think?) to you joining.

It was more like everyone who said they wanted to take part gets put on the list, and then those in the list get on with the debate kinda thing. Sort of like a book club thing :joker: Nobody would be excluded because everyone had the option to say if they wanted to take part or not.


It was, as far as I understood - to be decided by Kate (IIRC) whether x/y/z forum member was allowed to join - ie; whereby Michael21 was to be excluded.

Therefore it was a 'private club' so to speak - as long as you were 'allowed to join'.

Wasn't all that you quoted yesterday? Why bring it up now?

Oh and it was myself who said to Michael that I didn't think it would be his thing, but as stated nobody was excluded, the list was specifically for people who wanted to choose the topics for debate. Other than that it was for everyone, no club :)

So why the need for people to 'put their names down as wanting to take part in a debate'.

If people want to put up a post, they should be allowed to. The minute you mention ''other than that....'' ... there should be no ''other than that''.

I don't know if the thread is still around Kate, but I am sure that the main thrust of it was people had to state they wanted to take part in the debate .... that was the intial premise of your idea...... and it only became diluted into people taking turns to chose topics.

That's off the top of my head without checking back on it.

Because I've just seen the thread... okay.

You could've just kept all your thoughts to yourself :pipe:

Why should I. I'm part of the forum whether you like it or not ..... and I will put up my thoughts when and where I wish - I don't need your advice or suggestions.

i like my thread the most just saying

Well it all got resolved on that day to an extent and now it's all up in the air again.

Dont get riled pyra :), It would be open to everone kate clarified that yesterday...She only suggested it wouldn't be micheals thing but there was no question of restricting anyone as far as I saw...
Also the idea was the thread topic would be available to view before the 'debate' started so anyone who wished to comment had the chance.
Again I'm not entirely sure but thats how I saw it.

[Pyramid*]

So...... I'll post when I want to and I don't need your permission. Time you perhaps realised that. If you are going to name me personally on a thread and bitch me about: be prepared for me to address that. And I have.

It was not resolved if pyramid hasen't had the chance to reply to comments relating to her and her opinion inone.

Nobody ever said you couldn't. But it wasn't bitching, I was just saying what happened.

I'm not getting riled, honestly. :blush: Just that some people on here think they can talk about fms and to fms whatever way they like and not be held accountable for it.

I recall the idea wasn't clear at all, being quite muddied and I could of course be wrong: but far as I recall, the 'goalposts' kept moving as questions were being raised - that's where it all got a bit ''whats the point then''.

[Pyramid*]

It was bitching..... Vicky clarified what in actual fact - happened.

I was making points but because I'm not flavour of the month on here - which I care not a jot about, I do however give a damn when people like you come stampeding in and cronies join in en masse.

Just as you are doing now..... I have a right to reply to you when you are bitching about me, so let's not have you kidding on here that you made an innocent comment: because your recall of what happened is incorrect.

You were clearly playing dumb in that thread and causing a reaction. That's what happened. Anyway, not going to bite anymore, I'll leave you and kizzy to it.

Yes, clearly...that's why I wanted clarification... it's not my fault the goal posts kept moving.

I like music, news, serious debates (some of the time), TV chat. Anything really, that takes my eye. Could be Celebrity news, general interests. Seem to post most though in general chat/chat & games.
