Remember, this is a message board for goths and nongoths. You can do only so much talk about who's going to what bar and anyone hear of this band or that band or makeup tips for whiter whites and blacker blacks for makeup. The board is gonna expand, grow into other areas with threads of different interests to give us a chance to have something in common to chat about. I'm not into music enough to talk about that nor go to enough bars to talk about that. This board gives me and others more to talk about than just that. And Der Nister, you say that thread you linked to cheapens this site. IMHO that link cheapens this site less that the white trash barbie thread, if one was to compare the two. But that is what this site is about, different threads for different ways to find a common ground to chat with others about. So many threads add to this site, Reapers pic of the day for one example. So in the long run, all threads are good if they can stimulate positive communication between members. After all, we are here to find others with common interests to chat with, maybe even hang out with as friends. No one will agree or like every thread here. That's what makes us individuals, helps us see alternate ideas and such to learn and grow. Just my 2 cents worth.

there was a time when this board was not about stupid dumb shit, and stupid dumb people that think they are smart.

i have sat in the shadows for months just looking at and reading this shit .

sorry i just had to get this off my chest.

I get irritated by some threads too now and then (but then again I probably post some irritating things too, heh).

Best thing to do is post some interesting threads yourself and start some discussions about things you're personally interested in.

(After all, we all individually *are* DGN).

So, making a rude post like this will make things better? You didn't even think it out, you just let your emotions go, no rationality whatsoever. Diplomacy isn't one of your strong suits. You could try adding to it if what you see is just stupid and dumb, no? What do you want to talk about Quantum Physics? I am offended by your post and I am sure I'm not the only one. Read what you wrote again and see who really writes "stupid dumb shit".... you aren't sorry, so shove your apology.

1) let's not resort to singling out, or personal attacks, ok?

2) it's the nature of a board such as this to evlove, and in doing so, some people won't like some of the things they see. voice your opinion, afterall, that's what we're all here for - just be sure to remain respectful of others, even when/if they don't reciprocate. (btw, draco's post was quite good, as well...)

3) if you don't like the content on the board, do something constructive, like make a post you feel *adds value* to dg.n, not just one that bitches about it being about *stupid dumb shit*, as you so eloquently put it. you've been sitting in the shadows watching & reading, but not contributing, so in a way, the responsibility for this percieved "stupidity* falls somewhat on your shoulder too, doesn't it?

personally, i've had this same issue at times with the board, where i find i'm just not interested in what's going on. at that point, i just sit back & wait, because without fail, someone like thedark, etc., will post something challenging, and intellectual, and *debatable* that will pique my interest again. life, and this board, go in cycles... wait for it.... :wink :whistling :happy:

Threads like this  cheapen dgn.

this guy is a newbie, and just because he comes across a bit strong, or differently than we regulars do, doesn't mean he can't be a valuable addition to the board - will you condemn someone before giving them a chance? kind of a poor attitude, if you ask me. (not that you did, i know...) :erm

(btw, this isn't specifically aimed at der nister, but at the thread being used as an example...)

torn asunder,

If you don't see he was talking about all of us, that's not my problem. You know what, I am directing my anger at the wrong person. This isn't about you. I will step out of the thread. My apologies. I heard what you said, btw.

if you have a concern you'd like to discuss about this, feel free to pm me. and yes, i see what he was saying, but it's only one person's opinion, and i choose to not let things offend me, simple as that...

D00d!

That's, like, so Zen!

:tongue:

heh heh. Seriously though, I should learn to be more like that. It'd save me a lot of trouble sometimes.

Honestly .. that is some really great advice there Torn. You are going to find a shit load of people that will offened you here Miranda.... if you let them. The choice is yours.

So in the long run, all threads are good if they can stimulate positive communication between members

Exactly ... Positive communication .. that doesnt always happen as you can see lol ..

So Kiss has an view that people dont agree with. So what. At least he is honest and not just being all buddy buddy like he loves DG.n. So what if he is bluntly honest, I find it to be alot more to my taste then being fake as hell.

If it has caused you drama .. like Torn said ... its no ones fault but your own .. causing you to be offened by it. The only person its hurting is you ... you getting upset and offened is only proving kiss's point. That its just bullshit and you cant even have your own view with out someone getting their panties in a bunch.

Sometimes I like the threads.... and sometimes I think WTF. Everyone does. Its just the way things are you cant please everyone. Kiss is intitled to his opinion .... with out people giving him shit about it... just because it happens to be something you dont want to hear.

To each his own....
