Hello World!

Post by Guy_Montag » Mon Jul 13, 2009 2:04 pm

Can't remember how I found this place - a link in someone's sig on some other forum I happened upon, but not sure whom or where. The poster was probably a hottie - I'm easily swayed.

So, err, that's about it, I'll just lurk a bit until I can think of something interesting or entertaining to say.

That would be one way to stand out from the crowd. ^^^

Welcome to the forum :cheers:
Not so much of a Ray Bradbury fan, more dystopia fiction fan, or I was when I first registered in a forum under this name. Now I just use it out of habit.

So why was this forum set up, reading between the lines there's been some forum wars with other forums (fora??) at some point.

Oh & what's the gist with profanity? I'm too lazy to read the rules, but it's the only one I'm likely to break.

Which is because we're a big bunch of fuckers. :biggrin:

Profanity is fucking fine, just as long as it's not directed at another member in a nasty way. :tup:

Most of us were members of the Richard Dawkins forum and had a disagreement back in October over what was considered suitable content for the forum, basically a lot of freedom of speech and expression was sacrificed for the good of Richard's reputation and the complaints of some of the membership. So we are mostly atheists here but you'll find that while we will sometimes talk about religion and it's effects on the world we mostly just chat about life in general and try to unwind.

As for profanities, as long as you don't insult another member directly then you're all clear.

You can call G.W. Bush a cock smoker, you can call your boss a cunt but you can't call any of us anything of the kind (unless it's a joke)

We try to keep the options for what you can post as varied as possible so most subjects are fine as long as they aren't illegal in the UK (because that's where the server is) so you can talk about drugs but not about how to go about actually purchasing them etc....

What other dystopian stuff would you recommend?

I fucking hate that shit, and it crawls up my hairy, shit-splattered ass whenever some asshole posts it.

Except for you, of course, in which case I think it's cute. :flowers:

Shame, I always find calling someone a fucking cunt is a really good way to win arguments about politics & religion. :tup:

Never mind, I'll keep it to swearing at abstractions.

I'm trying to remember which novels I read, not sure there was much beyond Orwell & Brave New World; there's a book We by Zamyatin which was pretty good. Very much ahead of it's time, I thought.

Oooh - that's good, if someone else has posted while you're composing your witty riposte, you can edit it. Nice!

Hmm- actually I can see that if you're a bit slow thinking up your witty riposte & everyone else is posting away, it can take a while to get in there.
