Another call for a new sub-forum of Ejections

I'd like to once again suggest that a new "Ejections" forum be created. There are many legitimate on-topic threads in the current Ejections forums - music, news, politics, books, etc....but also a lot of meaningless threads, which are fine, but I think that the whole idea of "Anything goes here" leads to people derailing threads with actual purposes and good discussion.

The separate forum would be for all the "silly" threads, and derailing threads in the "topical" forum would result in the posts being deleted (or moved to the other forum).

I second this. It gets really old having to sift through all the garbage thats put out here lately and there is alot. I guess some people need to get a second hobby.

Agreed.

agreed

Agreed.

Agreed!

Sure

Agreed

Agreed...IF the new forum can be called something like 'Wacky Crap'.

Yeah I think it can be done, just need an admin or something to create on for us.

Good idea HGM

Or Post Padders Delight

or just "off-topic" :)

But it'll be Wacky **** and then people will get all kinds of crazy ideas about what it really is.

Howbout "Out in Left Field" since crap generally gets left in a field?

Thats a good one and it still fits in with baseball

Yeah, I like that

I don't care what it's called.

I'd volunteer to do all the work in moving the current Ejections threads into that forum though :)

Good call!

If not that, then "Forum Daycare".

we've got more spammers

I don't like this for one reason

No offense to anyone here, but I think this promotes forum "garbage" more than anything else. I say we should just start disallowing those nonsense type of threads

Well, would you rather have forum garbage out ofthe way or in the way. You can not elimanate it, that would be too harsh, and even Houston contribtes to it a little. Just move it out of the way

I rarely "contribute". I wouldn't mind one bit seeing it gone for good, but that's not a realistic option, unfortunately.

I did not say you contributed a lot, just that you have several times. But yea, what I was getting at is that it is not realistic to remove it completely

It can be, as many forums do, but here, it'd result in an outcry from the ~5 people that do it all the time.

I wouldn't care, maybe a few months ago i would have. I am personally indifferent. You know I feel that this problem is being exaggerated, but it is getting to annoy me, especially with everything I do getting copied, and just the stupidity of some of these posts out there.

It's always fun to watch people grow.
:)

A "junk drawer" is just easier to deal with then actually trying to implement some rule. Ejections was more or less intended to be the "junk drawer", but there's a lot of interest in politics and other interests and Ejections is really the only place for it... so, this is a good idea.

I love the idea. I honestly have no idea why it hasn't been done yet.

Dee, are you gonna do it?

Maybe we need a different approach...

Thank goodness that subsection of Ejections never appeared, that would have been the worst thing since Hitler!

Hey, at least since Houston posted this thread, there has been no stupid ones :)
