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.

It's moderately good. It can be a nice breather from the debates, though should be toned down some perhaps.

I have no opinion, see it as neutral, or think it has similar amounts of good and bad.
6.67%

It's moderately bad. It detracts from debates, takes up space, and is unappealing to newcomers.

"Stop that, it's SILLY!"
#12
RE: "Stop that, it's SILLY!"
What is this, seriously? Trying to get a license to be as silly as you want?

We have silly topics, and serious ones. It's easy to figure out which ones are which. We can crack a joke, most of us are good humored, but derail a post with fluff and that gets annoying.

I don't hate all emoticons, just when they are overused.

In the end, it's common sense. Be yourself. I don't think it ultimately affects the forum unless you're breaking the rules. If it's about gaining popularity? Well, it's kinda easy to tell and usually gets annoying.
