Well... I guess this is goodbye...

[C.W. Sims]

what napo said. now, i click on this tab and look thru the topics. they're all trounced on for 100 pages of the same convo that was covered in 2 pages. i look up and down for some place i can toss in some comedy or just look for the posters who are making the most sense to me now (or just bein straight funny as hell). then, there's very little else that's interesting and new.

I have to agree with this. I am new to the forums, but quickly grew bored because of the seemingly growing tide of conversations that seemed to be nothing but the same shit over and over. Now that I have read this thread I realize why that might be. In the cases of the ones I noticed it the most it was actually the arrival of a theist that brought this about. Once they interjected the religious idiocy the thread devolved into a back and forth pissing contest that ran on for pages without end.

Debating theists can be fun and interesting, but it should not be done at the expense of the thread. Once the thread gets derailed all efforts should be put forth to get it back on track and if some valid religious debate point was raised it should be started as a new thread.

I took some days off, nearly a week I think, maybe longer and I am back. Enjoying the shit out of the place again, and in general just looking at it more lightly and trying to glean what I can from the posts instead of getting sucked into the mindless tedium that begins to take them over as they stretch out.

It is sad that so many left over petty bullshit like the password change though. Just sad and pathetic really.
