New Category for Chatter - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

pan6467 · 08-25-2004, 05:32 PM

I was thinking that maybe to add a positive feel to our community and a way to get to know each other a tad better, we could add a "TFP Good News" category to the chatter where members could post good thing that are happening in their lives.

I know it sounds sappy, (me? sappy, never) but I just thought it was a good idea.

Thanks as always for reading the mumblings and lunatic ideals from me.

A good news story can fit very nicely in almost any of the current chatter forums.

If it's a new person saying how accepted they feel here, they might post it in Newbies.

If it's a normal story, it might go in General.

If it's private or personal, it might go in Members.

If it's by a lady about her boyfriend or something, it might go in Ladies.

If someone was abducted by aliens and was probed in some personal places, it could go in Paranoia.

If it's something like the forum being upgraded, it can go in News.

If it's pointless, it could go in Nonsense.

Besides, if the good news is all concentrated in one area, wouldn't that make the rest of the forums bad news sulking stories that no one really wants to read?

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"

They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
