    In ancient times, there was a thing called general discussion forum.

    It was a beautiful place, filled with wonderful posters discussing eternal topics.

    Then spam and relationships enters that forum.

    The great SPC in her S+Gommorah moment, burned down that forum

    It was never seen again.

    Occasionally, glimpses of it is seen in the open debate, and academia forum.

    but alas, general discussion is as dead as the yangtze dolphin.

    ahh...ok thanks.

    And so it came to pass...The General Discussion forum is laid to rest, but not dead, just dormant waiting for a time when man(and woman) can become more responsible. lol

    I wish there will be one again because when you post stuff on OPEN DEBATE or Academia, sometimes it doesn't make sense.

    Default Requesting A General Chit Chat Forum

    Hello Admin,
    Would it be too much to ask for a General Chit Chat forum? Just that there's no where fitting to post about the Holidays or general shtuff without risk of it being off topic and being locked. So if at all possible can we please get a General Chit Chat forum? Thank you for the consideration.
    Due to several complaints, I will stop using the terms "Babe" and "Baby" in reference to our female counterpart. They will now be replaced with "B*tch."

    Give a better proposition like you are willing to subscribe to the General/Chit Chat forum with a fee. Give SPCNET some incentives to deal with the spam and whatnot. Ahahaha.

    You can post about holiday in the Travel subforum.

    Seriously, if you think that Open debate is bad with relationship-like topic, imagine what happen when the general discussion forum returned.

    It will be like topic such as "This girl haven't give me a call for the last hour, she must really abandoning me. should i leave the relationship first? How can i do it best? " or similar.

    I don't see what's wrong with relationship-like topics per se. That's just what alot of people like to talk about. Now if you say that doesn't fit with forum standards then maybe you've a point, Han.

    I'm not arguing for or against a general chit chat category because I know SPCNET doesn't like to go out of the way to make changes to the forum unless SPCNET feels like it. I mean, come on, every idea in the last few years that has been brought up by a fellow member with that in mind has been shot down, except for being able to show our genders in our profiles. Every other time is met with an ultra defensive moderator and then the idea is never heard of again until the next curious newbie comes along.

    We recently have new categories, Tech Squad with Travel and Food. Were they implemented because someone felt that Open Debates and Academia wasn't diverse enough to include these topics? (Rhetorical question by the way.)

    But, whatever, you know.

    I've been here long enough to learn to accept things for the way it is ... especially since I've never personally contributed anything productive. Although, I don't mind being the moderator of the general chat forum if that's ever established. I'm just saying that for the record. Don't say I never offered.

    And while I'm being so blunt, let's be honest, oGakira, you just want a general chat forum so you can flirt with the females without any restrictions. You don't discriminate against age at all. I like your style.

    Not sure if I should thank yu Radken for your support or not???

    Yea it's no biggy that there isn't a General Forum. Ultimately it's the Admin's decision. Just that I found it odd that there was none since every forum i've been to has one. Not to say that spcnet has to be the same or anything. But we have to admit, there are bits and pieces of General topics strategically posted all over the place anyways due to the lack of a General Forum.

    And I guess everyone's definition of spam is different. Spam Topics to me are advertising without permission. Posting links to competetive forums/sites. But if a person posted a topic of interest atleast to another member, would that be spam?

    i've told this story before, but i'll tell it again.

    we once had a general forum. it was a spammers heaven, where people just said really really dumb stuff about nothing. *raises hand* and, as time went on, boys + girls = ... no, there was no cyber horizontal polka, but there was a big argument between a boy who liked a girl and a girl who thought the boy was insane. then, many many swears and posts full of bad things that hurt pembie's ears later, boy got banned, and general forum went kerplowy, never to return. so, blame k----g for crazy stalking this really underaged girl.

    *names have been changed to protect the innocent.
