Do you think that more and more topics lately are becoming ones of a casual nature, "Watcha look like" and "Favorite (whatever)"? Not that I'm complaining but is this a turn for NS? Have we become tired of political and social debates and now want to spam?

Have we? :)

We've alway wanted to. It's just the mods have been lax over the last two days.

Don't worry ... soon the mods will become sick of us getting along and expressing ourselves artisticly and it will be back to the same old ...

It is, after all, an election year.

Kick out the serious, bring in the Spam!

I mean, in no way do I endorse the recent semi-spammosity of NS. Ahem.

:eek:

I see my thread on there.
*giggles*
SPAM!

I don't think it's spam.. well..it's not completly spam.. but... It is getting hijack friendly which leads it to becoming spamtastic. Maybe just less serious.. a cultural change is upon us!

Revoluçion!

its a good thing... this place is dull when it gets too serious. i say bring on the spam! :)

I think the definition of spam is rather subjective itself :p

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

As though NSGen was ever anything but spam. :p

And it's not as though mods haven't been around... Erastide and TG are on just about twice a day or so... maybe NS can finally return to a period resembling its last Golden Age in late spring - early summer 2005, the time of Neo-A, Neo-R, Neo-K, Drache, TIN, the preglitz PM, and dozens of others we hardly ever see these days anymore... /reminiscences/

Wow. A lot of people want pie.

Somebody should possibly make a pie thread?

Actually, I'm pretending not to like her because I really don't like her. :)

You're not too far off though, that could be said about another poster... it could.

However you do have a pont. After awhile of ranting alternating with getting to know each other as humans, not just debating opponents, it's normal to want to have a few fun threads for awhile. I kinda like it, truth be known. :p

I'm personally tired of all the political/religious etc, BS and listening to pseudo intellectual blather. Sometimes, its harder to get my point across without grabbing them by the neck.

I do find other people in here interesting and like to discuss personal likes.dislikes, things they do and how they do it.

And pretty pics of young female flesh are always better than why the US sucks and all that other meaningless spouting of the insecure and inferior.

OK, now I'm dead sure it's PM, because all his real buddies know you spell it secretly with a silent "a" at the end. Obviously you're close enough to know this, so you use it as a ruse to trick us.

I'm on to you.

Hehehe.

Guys, we've known this already. I mean, I *know* that it was *totally* obvious in a thread once, maybe at the end of last year still, and if even I noticed it when I was still all new, so you must know it, too.

Oh, did I mention that I forgot who it was? Yeah. Which is really why I brought this up here. Maybe one of you feels like dredging the archives for one of those old dating threads. Because I sure don't.

I suggest that we there be a board for stuff like "Watchya Look Like" and all the personal stuff...

What's wrong with the current set-up?

Most forums I used to go to had a seperate area for serious debates, and just general socializing. Usually works out fine. I haven't really gotten the feel for this place yet to say if it will be a good thing for this forum or not, though.

It's the nature of things for the pendulum to swing back and forth. Sometimes, it will be mostly serious topics, then somebody will say, "Who are these people anyway? I'd like to get to know them." Then it will become more spam for a while, until people really know each other well and start getting back into the more serious stuff...or until somebody like you comes along and says it's stupid.

No, they're not really. I think it's just the time of year; things are overall pretty slow when it comes to new world events, and those that are already out have either been discussed to death or are simply not interesting enough to keep up discussion of.

Plus, the nicer weather is reducing the amount of time people spend on the internets; also, I think the nicer weather lifts peoples' moods and makes them more willing to just kick back and relax with diversionary threads. Come summer, when more people go on due to the end of school I think there will be more activity, and when it becomes fall again things will really pick up with the US Congressional election and whatnot.

Overall, I don't really mind this because it's a more relaxed environment, and it seems like the actual thread content has become more diversified which is a good thing; since the last forum problems, postings and new members per day are hitting new highs. It's a more high-energy environment than it was in the past few months.

and when it becomes fall again things will really pick up with the US Congressional election and whatnot

Ugh. I think I may take a break from NS for a month either side of those. There were some seriously nasty vibrations going around here in 2004, and I assume we can expect the same again.

Ha. I listed different people in each thread. XD

Just to bring a complete off-topicness to the thread, I've just noticed that Czar is the harbinger of despair. We should team up, make a few nations really miserable.

yeah, those threads are annoying, but political and social debates are pointless since it's very hard to convince someone on NS since most people here (including your truly) are pompous assholes interested only in asserting their own moral and intellectual superiority.

Yours Truly,

and now, to be an ass:

I've tracked you down to this thread to ask why you read my whole thread only to say that it was stupid. Tell me, or I tear your arm off! *twist*

You think? Well I think people are tired of being so SERIOUS all the time! Who wants to talk politics when you can relax on some easy topic?

Just look at all the people who don't even want to give a solid answer to the poll question! They just want pie! :p
