How it's supposed to work.. (General Discussion)
How it's supposed to work.. // General Discussionsw chrisJun 26, 2001, 12:41am
General Discussion newsgroups and forums have popped up all over the web for
the sole interest of those wishing to participate in discussing things beyond the set topic in other newsgroups and/or forums. Yes, they do include useless posts, but some of them can be very funny and are worth a look. In fact, I've known some useless posts to get up to hundreds of replies of more worthless garbage, simply because the results are very interesting to look through. When posting in a general discussion newsgroup, it is not necessary to remain serious. These types of newsgroups are there for the rest of us to have fun in. So have a sense of humor about the things you post. Now I'm not saying that this should be a dumping ground for useless garbage. I am simply stating that in General Discussion newsgroup/forums, you can post things other newsgroup charters would normally frown upon. This doesn't mean posts that have no point are welcome in these newsgroups. Each post should have a point, whether serious or funny. These posts can be about politics, the latest movie you saw, an upcoming game that you think people might want to be interested in, or almost anything, really. Now many of you know that I've been an advocate for this general.discussion group. Now that we've got it, I don't to see it turned into a garbage dump. Many of you are writing it off already simply becuase of a few posts by people who still view it as a novelty. They are simply testing out their new-found freedom. Let's hope by reading this they'll hold themselves in check. :) Anyways, look for an example of what I'm talking about shortly... SW Chris chucks partyJun 26, 2001, 5:26am
Thanx Chris, couldn't have said it better myself, LOL Now if we can get
these other Bozos to grasp the concept we might have something fun here, LOL [View Quote] |
