Is HS Art the most suitable forum for 'creative' topics?

[Chollis]

honestly, fuck HS Art and anyone who posts in it

[bgmnts]

I did at one point to upload some legitimate 'art' on HS Art but realised it would probably end up being laughed at even more than the silly stuff in there so thought better of it.

[poo]

Funny how people get wound up about HS Art. Makes me laugh.

It would be nice to have a sub forum where you can discuss painters, sculpters, photographers, whole art movements and events, current gallery themes and exhibitons. That would be fantastic, no chance at all am I going to bother tryng to do that in HS Art as it is, complete fucking waste of time for that.

I'd like that too. I've been getting into photography and photographers a bit recently. Spurred me on to try photography again, hoping I'll become less shit at it.

Making a separate forum for "serious" art discussion (whether CaBbers' own creations, or stuff not covered in other subforums, like photography, theatre, sculpture, radio plays/series, whatever) and keeping HS Art for people to mess around in seems like the best option.

(And I'd include CaBbers' funny comics and short stories in the "serious" art discussion bracket too, as opposed to the nonsense whimsy noodling of HS Art - which is fun in its own right, of course.)

U ok hun

HS Art might have been intended for creative stuff at some point, but in so far as I can tell, it is currently a place to post worthless trash simply for the sake of posting worthless trash.

Outside of Merry Hell, the one useful thread in there, 90% of it appears to be: "Bums. lol."

[Jerzy Bondov]

I would like to propose a new subforum exclusively for discussing me and my oeuvre.

YOU WATCH STAR TREK YOU FUCKING CUNT

[Goldentony]

As an alternative thought, what if HS Art is the most suitable forum for "creative" topics, and we, simply, ban whimsy?

WHY DONT WE BAN YOU YOU FUCKING ROCK HEAD GRIMACING LITTLE SHITE

[Goldentony]

I was under the impression that HS Art was the ball pit for CAB's resident Colin Hunts to frolic in.

FUCK OFF RICKY YOU BELL

You're thinking of popcorn.

WHY DONT WE HAVE A CARDIACS SUB FORUM WHERE I CAN POST PHOTOGRAPHS OF WOMENS TITS

WHY WHEN I WAKE UP IS MY LIFE NOT AN ENDLESS CAVALCADE OF OLD CEEFAX PAGES AND MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA

In my opinion Desolation sits in the Top 10 funniest threads in the history of the forum and remains a disproportionate source of laughs on any given day, and justifies HS Art almost single-handedly.

Outside of that, there are clearly many classics to have come out of the folder, even if I haven't personally got as much out of some as others.

[H-O-W-L]

I like HS Art as a shitpost trashfire in itself, I think that serves a purpose and I shitpost stupid ideas that make me giggle sometimes. I've posted "real art" (it was silly parodical stuff but still) in there too and it got buried though, which I do wonder if it was because it was shit or because HS Art is just too fast moving.

So again I vote for an actual art subforum.

[RickyHamster]

FUCK OFF RICKY YOU BELL

You take that back Goldentony.

Right. Now.

[Goldentony]

NO COMPROMISE

This makes me wonder whether we've had a thread titled "Please throw the baby out with the bath water". We should probably make one if not.

Earlier today, I hoiked the Euphoria thread out of HSArt and I had to trawl through an awful lot of shite to find it, I can tell you. And when I found it, it was caked in semen and rancid arse gush, although I have since spat on it and rubbed it and it has buffed up ok. The only thing that made it findable was that it was one of the very few threads to have more than one page, so I agree that something like what Crenners is proposing won't work there unless it is pinned, due the amount of fresh but distinctly gamey bodily extrusion tipped in during an average day.

Anyone touches HS Art i swear I'll do time

We can't make any decisions without first hearing from Glebe.

As much as I don't understand the appeal myself, I wouldn't have a problem with the abundance of absolutely worthless HS Art content if it didn't clog up the Unread Posts page. If a handful of people believe that a fruitful use of their time is to post short sentences about bumming then that's up to them, but I wish I didn't have to wade through all that sewage to read the rest of the site.

It'd be definitely be a positive if a new forum for actual creativity like HS Art used to be many years ago (and possibly still is somewhere, but I'm not diving into the shit to find it). It'd be even better if the baffling number of "lol bumming" "lol anuses and wanks" "lol I've just discovered a swearword" posts could be walled off from the main site.

It is walled off. That's what a sub forum is. Don't click into it, and you won't see the lol prepuce threads.

It's one icon. The COVID sub always has the unread icon for me cos I never go in there, but it hardly clogs things up as I just let me eye skip over it.

Imagine an anus prolapsing on a human face, for ever.
