1. Christine was a car. 2. No idea. 3. school? 4. a headache? 5. hydrogen? 6. Sirius? 7. not Bing Crosby? 8. Hamlet? or Pride & Prejudice? 9. Pacific 10. It was when he was Ziggy Stardust, can't remember the name of the film, though-it was weird is all I remember...

Maybe the reason TBF is so popular is the moderators know the difference between "lively discussion and debate" and discussions/debates that are about to turn nasty-some may see such censoring as premature, but I appreciate a forum where people aren't at each others' throats all the time. And...

If politics and religion were allowed to be discussed here, I'd prefer it to be in a new section created just for that, rather in General Chat. In a couple of other boards I belong to, such hot-button sections require special entry in order to post, granted by the mods. In other boards, no...

I know-I don't think I want to eat in a place that gives the impression it's run by illiterates-how do you know they know how to cook food that won't give you food poisoning? Maybe it's a ploy to ensnare people who take the time to stop in and point out the mistake? (not that I would do...

No photos but recently I've driven past a couple of restaurants that had on their signs: 1) Try our Cheesey Burgers" and 2) "Try our new fisch sandwich!". How can anyone misspell fish??

I think what got Stewart suspended was a violation of unwritten rules. He upset a thread that other people enjoyed, and while that isn't in the formal rules, it's an unwritten one. If you don't like a thread, ignore it. I'm so tired of this rehashing of the Darren Conspiracy thing. As far as...

I look forward to any discussion here. Perhaps you should PM a moderator to see if reposting is allowed.

I have to question your motives, Toady. Are you trolling for new members for your forum? I don't think it's sporting to come over here and criticize how things are run. I don't see you creating new threads for discussion, just pointing out various flaws of the forum in this particular thread...

Thanks, but my time is limited and I'd rather have a discussion here at TBF than go elsewhere to discuss something.

let me have my illusions, I don't have much else! :p

sorry, there isn't enough info to go on for a search. Can you remember anything else about it?

Do we really want TBF to be a tightly controlled forum? I know I don't. I like the freedom here, thanks.

I read "That Old Ace in the Hole" last year and loved it, but I couldn't find anyone here who wanted to talk about it.

I won't bring up my treatment on Palimpsest when I was there for a short time, but I think Palimp is not for everyone, particularly if you like using smilies. :D

Hmm. Is Palimp so dull lately you've come here for sustenance? ;)

A couple of months ago I decided to learn macrame. I discovered my hand-eye coordination isn't what it used to be, which wasn't anything to brag about, plus I had no earthly idea what to do with it if I ever mastered it-wall hangings and plant hangers aren't my kind of decor. :D

But it would seem forced! it's more fun when people come up with something off the cuff, rather than the mods running through a List of Interesting Topics to Jump-Start Discussions.

I have to disagree with you, Toady. If starting new threads were up to the mods I think that would hamper everyone here, they'd be afraid to disagree. I don't see anything wrong with letting the forum stagnate a bit, since it always seems to perk back up sooner or later.

nice to see ya around, seanwrightfan! Thanks for the compliments, I don't really think of myself as "nice"! :o I didn't think the locked thread was an invitation to a free-for-all, but I can see where it might make the mods nervous. Yeah, there's a different perspective looking back on...
