After 18 Years Podium Kids Move Back in With Their Lounge Parents

8,924 September 1, 2022 at 10:00 AM in Chat
Hi Mom and Dad, I'm all grown up now and I've had a whole life outside this house, but times are tough out there and we got foreclosed on and now we have to live here again.

No politics this time, but all the same dysfunction you grew to love when we lived across the street. Let the party begin.

We shouldn't debate the merits of vi versus emacs here, either. Wink

Quote from Frogstar :
Rule 23: "These rules are a general guideline on what is acceptable. Just because its not specifically spelled out above, does not mean it's allowed. The moderators work in the spirit of the rules stated in order to keep a general flow to the forums"
Wink
And no one here sees a problem with ambiguous rules? AKA rules by warning to find out the rules.

One of the complaints recently about TP was the alleged non-uniform enforcement of the rules.

I will say... it's not as though there's any lack of political forums on other forum sites. That would probably be a better option than creating an entirely new one, you need a certain critical mass to sustain a forum, and I doubt our TP Refugees alone would be enough to sustain one.
DU is always open for those podiumites who need a place to go for like-minded individuals.

If I don't like it, I know where to find the door to this privately-owned and run site, for which I've been charged nothing to join nod

Just saying, if you WANT adherence to the rules, you'll find that making them unambiguous goes a long way toward acceptance and avoiding bad feelings about the site.

ar15.com isn't too terribly bad, nor is TigerDroppings and others of the same nature...

^hehe
They lived in a spare bedroom, and now they are being kicked downstairs into this fish-smelly basement. Poor souls! Sadwalk


For the record: In all my adult life I've never been to the Lounge (I own a nice château, btw), but looking in my SD posting history, now I see a few of my old threads/posts have been moved here. So, I do have some bragging rights... y'all.
