Thoughts etc?  I think it's getting quite good now.  Originally I'd planned to just keep it around for a week or two, and then remove it and bung all the threads into GD, and hope that people took the cue from there.  However now, I dunno, I think it could stick around.  The thing about GD is it's always been about trying to strike a balance, and the balance just isn't there before (and I certainly can't be fucked making it balance after all that recent hoohah)...one of the reasons for that, I think, is that the (fucking) perma-threads tend to crowd out a lot of frippery.

Also, better name?

Which might prompt an injunction from the popular 80s band of the same name possibly

Epitome Nihilum, which is a sort of literal Latin translation for "A summary of nothing".  I was trying to find the Latin for "Notes about nothing" as a bit of a Seinfeld reference, but couldn't find anything immediately.

Velleity Village

A 'velliety' is an ambition or inclination that is too nebulous to ever be realized. This would fit perfectly with the tone of this forum as it has quickly become a  dumping place for the kind of trivial cum-fodder folderol and bizarre algebraic polls that no-one would dare post on the floor above.

However, I do think this section at the moment is a little too stately. Perhaps it's the title 'GD Lite' that makes it sound like a place for watered-down bus stop discourse, rather than somewhere that should, if it is to be the anti-GD, be packed full of balloons, childish games and cleavages.

Oh, and standing next to the title on the forum index, could you put a little image of a clown beckoning us in with open arms?

Thanks.

"Loads of women talking blabbering crap"

Or just Blabbering Crap.

As to my humble opinion on this forum, I like it. I really like it. *swoons*

Bring back General Bullshit.

Neil

I should really, shouldn't I?  It was stolen, see, but it would sit nice as an accompaniment with General Discussion.  Salt and pepper, GD and GB.  I really enjoyed this threaqd in particular today, and there are some other good uns about.  Yeah, let it continue I guess.

Toss Pot: as in, you've got the hint of an idea so just 'toss' it in the 'pot'.

Or, change GD to Jam and GD Lite to Jaaaaaaaaaaam (worst idea ever!)

Now that there are 6 sub-fora, how about renaming them as per the episodes of The Young Ones series one (no, this is the worst idea ever...)

How about Box Of Slice?

Here's one for you, I'm surprised people have never referred to the Verbwhores collective as The Blue Meanies, that'd be quite funny I think, for them. (If you use letssplit, go twat yourself up the crap, you whopping chod)

Hey, look who this is, it's another name for GDLite: Diet General Discussion and GD could be revamped as Classic General Discussion. Wow, this is what brainstorming must feel like for retards.

I like Keep It Light better. 'General Bullshit' is too aggressive. From what Neil and BWW said, I take it it's been used before, but who stole it?

Toad in the Hole

Surely it's to be used as a companion piece... General Discussion > General Bullshit...?
