Darth Dooku Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 I don't think the swamp is getting dull at all! You just have to find the right threads is all. By the way, I agree that different people have different definisions of spam - personally I think it is when you post a message that is completely unrelated to the discussion.

Agen Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Originally posted by Leemu Taos I was away for a couple of days and just now have got to read this....... Man, I didn't realize ppl have been thinking this place is that bad, very sad this is. I don't see it as very bad though.....maybe I'm blind to the problems or somethin' I think the regulars around here can only do so much to help guide the newbies.....even some of the regulars have a difficult time controlling themselves. We just need to do a better job of policing our own posts.....I've even deleted a couple of my own. I don't know, I'm not giving up on this place!!! Hmmm, been away for the last week too with real life crap. This happens abotu once every 3 months then everything jumps back into life . We jsut need to make it a fun palce again which requires some addictive threads. If you go back a few months their will be threads about the swamp being too serious, seems liek exactly the same thing again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Notice my lack of posts lately? It's not the quantity of the threads, it's the quality. I try to start interesting topics of discussion such as 'was the moon landing a hoax' and 'will warp drive ever become a reality', but they are reduced to jokes and spam. It seems there is a considerable lack of intellegent conversation these days. Half the threads are about avatars, the other half are about how evil girls are. I'm all for the fun as you know, but now and then this place needs a good intellectual debate. I'll be back when the maturity level returns to a somewhat decent height.

NNOOOOO!! You can't leave here!! I don't like some of the threads either. I'm 25 and sometimes I tire of the threads but I sit back and laugh to myself...... If you leave, you won't be able to help reverse this current trend........please stay and help fight the battle!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedantic Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I don't think there's a problem with the Swamp. On the other hand, the Valley... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Honestly, I think for the most part, some ppl are over-reacting.......but we do have some issues here that need to be delt with and taken care of soon!

Chewbacco Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Yeah, If there was another terrorist attack for example, this place would be flooded with new threads and posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Warrior Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 Originally posted by Chewbacco Yeah, If there was another terrorist attack for example, this place would be flooded with new threads and posts. well there has been two in the last fortnight. one in bali and one in russia, it seems that nobody noticed though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemme w/Stick Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Well, thats really hard to say! I'm hoping that the quality will pick up again, and everything will be as the time, when I left the Swamp for a couple of weeks! Wehn I returned, I returned to this....pretty sad ! I kinda feel like you do, theres not much that I wanna reply to anymore either!! Hopefully this will return to normal once!! -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Warrior Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 well, hate to say it but it does seem that unless it happens in the states it aint important to some people. for example, this sniper. he runs round kills 9 people or something and that has probably dominated every news program in the states. Hundreds die in the bali bombing and i bet it was only given 2 minutes air time. What we need is a world news station one that isnt biased towards a particular nation like cnn or bbc news 24. Just because it dont affect the yanks doesnt mean it aint important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Originally posted by Jah Warrior Hundreds die in the bali bombing and i bet it was only given 2 minutes air time. thats very much what i heard.... apparently it took about 24 hours to get on the news too.... if at all. i spose im just cut up coz most of the people who died were australians... and i happened to know 2 of them... *shrugs* its probably like that everywhere with things like this.

Taos Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Originally posted by GonkH8er you guys didnt get much coverage of the bali bombing at all did you? :( What are you guys talking about.... Honestly though, does it matter? Anyways, yeah Gonk, there wasn't much coverage at all, the only thing I really heard was that there were 4 americans (I think) that died in the attack. The media has been so consumed with the sniper attacks in DC and the looming strike against Iraq, that we haven't had much coverage on it. Sad I know.........we aren't perfect here........

Guest Jed Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 The US is far from perfect. The sad thing, I didn't hear bout Bali at ALL. That's pathetic. But I looked it up, and it's horrible. It's very sad that we don't here about anything out side of the country in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
