Okay so topics to avoid
Politics. Religion. Flaming Scrotini. Anything that may or may not be details of your life. Divorce. Sex.
I miss anything? Should we just kinda play it by ear and add to the list as I post and hit topics people get upset over?
I wasn't saying BF is a board for that.....and I hardly posting details of my life compared to what other people do post and my point was its a forum.
And my point was that people are done with it. We are knee deep in the eating each other phase now.
Make of that what you will, but in the absence of a few hundred people invested in creating engaging flaming content (ie:humourous insult aimed explicitly at getting their opponents to laugh along with it) this is the scenario you're left with. A pale echo of the ~T~D~T~ created Brawl-Hall ethos. A bunch of hate-fueled content as people snipe from the sidelines that it sucks. Or vote with their mouse clicks when something shinier presents itself.
For at least as long as people insist on dragging it back here, or until someone pulls the plug on the forum entirely. You have to face up to it I'm afraid: what is passed off as "flaming" these days is the stuff that got dismissed as Hating back in the day. Hate requires energy and people get weary of it.
Things were a lot easier when people cared enough to make each other laugh.
Eggs ackly. There is no "content" in Dove using these forums like a therapist's couch or a priest's confessional box.
