Have you ever thought that forums are angst filled?
Take a look at this lovely piece of satire:

Hey Nurse Ben
That's made me smile. If you ever fancy a similar 'angst feast' try a plumber's forum or better still a UK truckers forum and search for 'fork lift operaters' oooooohh even better yet......rc model flyers.  ( hubby is a rc fan so I can get away with that  )

that reminded me of hackers' saying: "when you've got a hammer everything starts to look like a nail!"

Going a bit off topic here......
I once knew someone who needed to knock a very small nail in the carpet in the floor of a campervan. They used the first heavy object they could find......... ......... a fire extinguisher.............the nail went through the casing and covered the inside of the van in powder.

I am sooo glad that this forum is well moderated and that people seem to know when enough is enough. That sort of interaction can be bad for you

Unicycles are just toys, right?

I gotta say I like the new format... it'll keep JC clean... but I'm still doubtful about some of the unicycling forums.

I think the forum is fairly well moderated.
What i hate in forums is when a thread is started about particular topic and then it goes of on a tangent. It reminds me of this one time..........

Seems like sometimes the most "angst" comes from people who are upset about where people talk about what.
I think Gilby does a GREAT job! In fact, he inspires me to want to create a website myself! One conversation leads to another... It would be a dry and uninteresting forum if not for conversations where people interact and share thoughts... that lead to other thoughts. I'm not fussing... I just don't understand why it's such a big deal. People that talk "unicycle" have aside comments about other things, and people that are talking about other things naturally bring in unicycle topics. I suppose you could say I've gotten off the subject here myself... but it relates to the topic... and to the above comments. For the most part, everyone here has something in common with everyone else!... UNICYCLING! That makes everyone here pretty special... and at least a bit eccentric! But we all share that one thing. I imagine it's difficult to separate "unicycle" from "non unicycle" comments or conversations. They all overlap. I appreciate everyone of you! Last edited by 57UniRider; 2012-04-20 at 10:23 AM. |
