"Stop that, it's SILLY!"

Poll: Is being silly, making jokes, and otherwise being 'happy' a good thing for this forum in your opinion?
This poll is closed.
It is very good. It attracts new members, retains old ones, and makes this place feel worth coming to.
56.67%
 17 56.67%
It's moderately good. It can be a nice breather from the debates, though should be toned down some perhaps.
26.67%
 8 26.67%
I have no opinion, see it as neutral, or think it has similar amounts of good and bad.
6.67%
 2 6.67%
It's moderately bad. It detracts from debates, takes up space, and is unappealing to newcomers.

But seriously... do you lot think my silliness (and that of others) makes this forum feel more alive (and more enjoyable)? Or that it should be toned down a lot? Or what? Smile

Edit: finished, posting allowed you rule-breakers ^_^

1.) Jokes and general silliness are good in moderation, so long as they do not detract significantly from the original topic (make a joke and move on).
2.) Derailing topics entirely (for the sake of silliness) is a bad thing.
3.) I hate emoticons.
