Not enough noobs scrawling their treatises on the law of 5s posting in this forum?
So, great, put it up top where the noobs will poop all over it.
But at least we all got to show that intellectual assfuckery is king here. I believe I shall get myself a cigarette holder, to fit in.
BUT WAIT! I gave up smoking? Oh, what to do? Perhaps a monocle?
Anyway, congrats to whatever genius moved the forum, as we all know that the problem of insufficient rants-on-demand and the failure of PD users to bow to one man's vision can always be solved by rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Great dance band, though.
This section has always been on top. Your monitor must be upside down.
This one is in the same place, they just moved the rest of them to the other side.
The monocle is a good idea.
shit, KE wins the thread.
and Roger, I apologize for upsetting your routine.
Hindenburg, rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg.
You see, PD.com is definitely some sort of democracy, but it's more of an after-the-fact democracy. Aside from major changes, I act on the occasional whim and if enough people say "Dude, you fucking suck, change it back!" I'll change it back unless I have a REALLY good raeson for doing what I did in the first place.

I can fling more single-handedly.
Because, among other reasons, I know that it is "A LOT", not "ALOT".
TGRR,

for all intentsive porpoises, ALOT = A LOT

Granite, but if you're going to be our fearless leader, maybe you need to hire Peggy Noonan.
You guys arent being mellow enough
Mod war aside
We should just change it so once you click post and it shoots off through the internet tubes to some random place on the forum and you can just hope to shit that it ends up in the right place.
That will solve everything. Or nothing.
I'll second the complaint.
The movement threw me off.
Plus, I think the whole attitude here of "we're not being intellectual enough" is a bunch of horseshit.
I suggest we see how much bullshit piles up here as opposed to it being on bottom.
That's A LOT of shit!

hrm. I think it should be fine here. if someone posts an intro or some form of OMG 23 bullshit it can be moved down. its not like its set in stone.
I have to admit that there is a part of me that hopes BIP doesn't fall victim to some of the rather un-PD stuff that got posted in the PD section. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that it won't happen with BIP.
I always figured that if we were going to move anything to the top it would be Apple Talk, since that's the catch-all bullshit forum that also contains the Noob introduction thread. I was half convinced that the reason Principia Discussion got tons of random crap was that it was at the top - I'm with LMNO in seeing if the BIP gathers the same level of shite now that IT has the "top spot" (no better way to test the theory after all). We can always move it again later if it gets too full of cock, repost and fail (well, MORE full of cock, repost and fail :mrgreen:).

Yup, and I think you're on the mark with Apple Talk. IF the BIP starts getting shit tacked onto it that would be my recommendation. Move BIP back down to the bottom and put Apple Talk on top.
one point of view from a n00b...
I purposefully avoided the BIP section for the first few days/week because it did seem to be the more "serious" section of the forum and figured I'd wander around the other shiite for a little while before posting there. The fact that the BIP was towards the bottom helped support that reasoning to me, that's my perception.
Also, did not post first in the intro section, didn't see it at first. Maybe it would help to have intros in whatever the top section was. Did find the "bring and brag" section to make my own introduction and post links to videos, so that worked.
my 2cents added
i'll repost my two cents here then:
Quote from: triple zero on July 10, 2007, 09:31:47 AMthis is troof.
everybody can see that so far the "principia discussion" subforum, which used to be on top, functioned as a landing zone for stoopid n00b chattery about hotdogs and christian discordians and what ever for fuck shit. though still funny to bash em for it.
i suggest:
1) let's wait until that happens to the BIP forum once or twice, so everybody can see who was right
2) move the "principia discussion" subforum back above it
3) rename it to ZOMG23
4) decide it's exempt from the 50 post suggestion
[ step 1, 3 and 4 are in fact optional ]
though afterwards, TOG & RWHN are right about using Apple Talk for the catch-all, and mentioning "post your introductions here" in the description would probably help a lot as well for the n00bs to find the right place.
btw on the OTHER hand
i need to bring up the point that the idea for the BIP was formed in the Principia Discussion forum, which was at the top at that time.
so there's also something to be said about coming full circle :)

so we should all make sure we are wearing protection.
If BIP starts to get crapped up
--and by the way, right now the only threads crapping it up are "Just call me nigger" (which was from down below) and this one
swap it down one.
If Principia Discussion catches all the n00bery because it's on top, we should put Apple Talk on top, then BIP below it, then PrincDisc. right below that.
That way the meat will still be visible, though it won't be drawing the entire asshats anonymous congregation
But honestly until we start seeing noobs post their intro threads here, this is all a null point. Having newbies come look at this forum is good, fresh perspectives can lead to memetic evolution. Yes, they can crap it up too, but that's going to happen whenever you have a higher volume of posts.
I just don't like scrolling down every time I go to the best forum on this board.
Oh, come on. Meta-Forum isn't that good.
Wiseass.
:thanks:

Why is BIP the "meat"?
Or Kill me has some meat, and so does literate chaotic. AT is funnier, and nobody has to put up with LHX in a beret.
*gratuitous unprovoked slam*
just a beret?
yikes
hide the kids
naked canadians ITT.
IF BIP starts to get overrun with n00bery, we'll move it down a slot or two.

I've been wondering that myself.
I hardly even read the BIP anymore, as it's all been said before. I'm more of a "barstool" guy, so I've just been reading alot of this lately and saying "so?"

"So What?" is the correct response. If you felt like you were getting answers to that question, BIP wouldn't be doing its job.
I don't necessarily think it is "THE" meat. And even so, there can be vegetarians. I have to admit I've hit a wall with it. Even the shrapnel thing, there was a flash of something now I'm just kind of stuck.

I'm trying to get it there.
The idea was developed in traffic.
Me: "Asshat! Don't slow down in the left lane! Aaahh! And an asshat in the center lane! My god, this place is swarming with asshats! A veritable cornucopia of asshats! One might say that this highway is in fact A HAT RACK HUNG WITH ASSHATS."
I then went off on all the different kinds of asshats. For example, we have the ten gallon, the bowler, the fedora... For the particularly tight-assed asshat there is the fez...
THIS FREAD IS A HAT RACK
P.S. THANK YUO MY RACK IS AWESOME :D
but....asshats are the GOOD guys.

Thats how.
I dont like the new name.
My best friend died in a sea of Schmuck.
I'm not sure about it either. But, I think it's a step in the right direction. I'm sure someone will unwittingly coin a better phrase that we will all latch onto as we did with the BIP term.
I actually liked "Serious Discordianism"
it would give LAIL (now) and LULZ (in the future)
or, i suggest everybody with the power keeps changing the title until we get sick of bitching about it.
Actually, I kind of like that idea, the second one. I think tomorrow it should be changed to, "Nose Flutes For Freedom"
Serious Discordianism sounds like trouble. We can't go having discussions without pausing to inject misplaced humor, otherwise it might turn out less than pointless.
also, somebody's going to have to explain to me the difference between LOL, LAIL, LULZ, LAWL, etc.
I don't care what it's called, or where it is on the forum, provided we just stop fucking talking about it already.

the most important is LULZ, that as far as i understand it, is specifically laughing *about* somebody having done or said something stupid because you (or somebody, sometimes even themselves) trolled them into it. it's a more kind of self-0wnage thingy.
the others are, i think, just variations on the classic LOL, which means Laughing Out Loud (and is, curiously enough, also the Dutch word for "fun").
I use them all interchangably for "having a laugh".
I always thought LAIL was a cross between LOL and FAIL.
sort of like LULZ, but whereas LULZ implies a certain level of personal involvement, LAIL can be had by any passerby lucky enough to witness something LAIL-worthy.
I cannot believe we are fucking discussing this. :mad:
what, like we might ruin THIS thread?

Agreed. Though I also feel that LULZ was also somewhat les light hearted than LOL. Kind of like the cackle of an evil genius in bad movies.
And oh yes, in my semi-official capacity I declare this thread is now a toolbox.
