Here are the type of topics that I find irrevalent and time wasting - The board has trended toward them lately:
1) Senseless pre-pubescent accusations and taking offense at mere words, skirmishes that will destroy a decent thread for literally pages.
2) Sexual references/topics meant primarily for the shock value - in threads that have nothing to do with sex.
3) So many threads not meant for the Forums they remain in:
a. Sex based threads far from a PG- PG-13 theme like - "I'm a mistress banging a married Mormon and want some justification")
b. Welcome back ...
c. Glad you left...
d. Enjoyed the picnic..
e. I think DCP is a baby..
f. Madd did something predictable.. (well, duh.)
g. nitpicking fine points of irrevalent topics
4) I venture to say that knew members or lurkers are put off by the tribe of about 20 that make their camp here. Have any of us noticed that it's the same posters different day?
whatever.
I found the board to be quite inviting for the first 6 months or so - believe it or not with most of you that live here. I enjoyed the dialog and even the light flaming. It's a different board now. What I'm looking for as I plow through this crap is more sprititual based and even a little more mature conversations with those looking to make sense out of the trainwreck called Mormonism. I have found the different belief systems represented here valuable to my therapy.
Anyway, Flame away. It's predictable.
I've taken pre-emptive measures and am now sporting my fireproof suit. Offend me for a word (or perhaps just take a moment and re-evaluate why many of you (us) camp here).

Probably today. Just ask Schmo to keep drinking those glasses of water and the "posts" (?) will flow freely.
Here's the great thing about having a reputation for posting nonsense: I can keep posting nonsense in an effort to reach godhood today and nobody will know the difference.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Bond will notice and let everyone know.
You are one of the greatest posters on the board.. What is nonsense to one is literature to another...:)
I'm off. I'll hoist at least a couple for you.
Peace.

Yep, understandable. I guess there's something for everyone.
But of course it's the same folks who keep posting. They're the ones who post here. I'm not sure what you're looking to be different. This is just like any other board. People post at the board they like to post at. Is it the number of folks that post here that you take issue with or what? Do you just wish there were more regulars? I'm interested in that comment.

I'm fairly certain I post more nonsense than you! Positive in fact!

I enjoy reading about how you want to get laid. (And I'm being deadly serious about that. I honestly believe that between the two of us, we could come up with quite the steamy magazine... need to get liz writing for it, as well of course. You make the middle of my pants tight, lady! (And I mean that with the utmost respect, you understand...))
