Karma

[vulpesweasel]

what i wanna know is who gave me negative karma. I don't care and i'm not mad, just curious cause i find it funny. And Manawolf, did you get that quote about sexy women from Disgaea Hour of Darkness?

[Malakin]

Sorry me again tis all equal now

[Forgotten]

Now look, since I posted that I was deducted 2 more karma points. My reason is valid.

I used to be that way too Forgotten, I've made my fair share of gargantuan posts both here and on plenty of other forums but it seems that at the end of the day, a forum is more akin to ye olde train station rather than an engaged classroom and self-expression can be as much about pointless silly as it can be about earth-shattering revelation or simple, ramblesome ponderings.

I suppose it all helps build the board's character because any forum is, as I said, a font of self-expression, a place for people, it has to be about people and there are a lot of different people out there with a lot of different ways to express themselves.

Whilst sitting around waiting for a train, there's room for polite conversation about everything, from the weather to shared commonalities or any particular person's destination.  Someone might say something thought provoking and a debate might arise.  In fact, this is something I remember about waiting for trains when I was younger, people sure spoke a lot.

I've loosened up a lot over time and I don't try to make every post I make absolutely gargantuan anymore because that's not what everyone is looking for, it's not that kind of atmosphere.  It's more social than formal and that's what I've gotten used to and adjusted to.

After all, if I wanted to go for the big stuff all the time, there are other places for that but here I think I'll mix it up a bit and see what happens.  Unless the local security guard stops by and tells me not to, o'course.

I'm not exactly looking to have a constant debate or post a massiv reply or thread. I like simple chat and replies too, but more often then not, I am not going to reply "lol [insert 10 smilies here]" and go onto the next victum that is another thread.

I wish for some somewhat structured talkings, be them laid back or completly goofy. I came onto this forum to be relaxed and just chat.

Yeah, ran out of steam on this one.

[Rowne]

I can understand that.  There's a crowd at this station though, however, the things you desire can be found.  Just drag a few people off to a corner and make it so.  There's room for everything here.

Though I admit, I'm not so much a fan of the LOL either.  My excuse though is the ubiquitous nature of it, people seem to be drawn to the ever-growing anti-unique and LOL is the shirt-and-tie of today's internet.

Everyone who wants to fit in has one.

So on that count, I agree with you.  That takes away from the personality of a board because absolutely anyone could post it.  If that's what humanity boils down to then MegaHAL passes the turing test with flying colours.

I have to say this, though ...

Despite the fact that there is a crowd here, a big one, I see a lot of sapience and thought.  There are many things that make me smile.  There is little of the LOL, less of the ZOMG and almost none of the ROFLcakes.  This pleases me in ways I cannot express.  So I'd think that as far as this particular forum goes, we don't have to worry about that anyway.

Even if we did have a lot of that here (which we don't, as I can see) then we'd just have to accept it and carve out our own niche without destroying that which already exists.  Whether people wish to be sapient or not is their choice and their choice alone.

Karma police
arrest this man,
he talks in maths,
he buzzes like a fridge,
he's like a detuned radio.

Karma police
arrest this girl,
her Hitler hairdo
is making me feel ill
and we have crashed her party.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

Karma police
I've given all I can,
it's not enough,
I've given all I can
but we're still on the payroll.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.
