[fountains of nay]

This news forum is really unnecessary. Everybody's still posting news in the general forum, which most of us actually think is better. It's just a dead forum.

[bokonon]

Aye, so it seems. It could maybe have a differant slant on it, like good news or bizarre news or something...

[fountains of nay]

Yeah maybe, but most of that still ends up in the main forum because that tends to be the first place that everyone goes to when they hit the UK forums.

[mamaKCita]

i suppose it would be helpful for people who never come to these forums.

[Power_13]

We decided to break it out into its own forum because it works better that way with the group page.But

...your insults just lost you the UK group.

Keep it up see what else happens. You can self-destruct yourselves for all I care.So yeah, it is pretty pointless now. We could pretend it was a spelling error and make it a forum dedicated to newts, I guess?

[fountains of nay]

How bizarre.
I really don't know what went on, but it all seems a wee bit pathetic to me.

[Power_13]

The thread's been moved to the Politics forum now.


Here it is, a bit long though (http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244134&page=14&pp=10).

[fountains of nay]

Yeah, it is long winded and fucking stupid by the sounds of it.

[Power_13]

Just like my favourite joke :D

[fountains of nay]

Ooooo and I might get banned too... I kinda made a joke about China kicking some US ass... oh dear! :)

[mamaKCita]

i don't think THAT will get you banned. he's not pro-usa, though i noticed a few people took some of his statements that way.

but when you think about it, china wouldn't be much better. trading one bully for another isn't much of a difference. *sigh* we're doomed.

Exactly!
Twas only a joke anyways, I didn't mean any harm... but after reading about Skip going on about Britain being invaded by the US or whatever I felt I wanted to post something.

I'm not a US hater, but I do have my british pride!

[mamaKCita]

no doubt. i tentatively stuck my toe in that "debate" then backed way and stayed the fuck out.

[fountains of nay]

I don't blame you... I remember when the thread was first created...I took one look and went to hide in a cave for a while.

[mamaKCita]

there's a reason i'm so frivolous.

[phoenix_indigo]

i just completely avoided the thing like the plague. i would look and read some or portions of posts but never commented. didn't want to get involved.

[Peace-Phoenix]

Ooooo and I might get banned too... I kinda made a joke about China kicking some US ass... oh dear! :)
I've managed to get most of the bans reversed now. Please don't try to get yourself banned, it'll only make my job of restoring normality a whole lot harder. And I agree on the News forum, I think it's probably more sensible to use the main forum as the politics forum....

[phoenix_indigo]

seems like the news forum has become a forum about the main forum and not actually about news.

[mamaKCita]

it's UK (forum) News. very valid.

[Power_13]

Actually, Skip intended for this forum to be for the cat members of our community.

He just misspelt UK Mews.

[Power_13]

No, actually, he intended it to be a UK forum based on the hip and happenin' footwear of today.

But his dictation typing softwre misunderstood when he said "UK Shoes".

[phoenix_indigo]

No it's supposed to be a food forum. Just misspelled UK Chews. :p

[Power_13]

Nah, it was supposed to be for UK rappers. He just slipped on the keyboard when writing UK Krews.

[Power_13]

Seriously though Skip, with this forum's primary intention being to tidy up the now defunct UK Group's page, what's gonna happen to it? The main UK forum itself would probably be the best place for discussion of events, but d'you think there might still be a place for this forum? I'm not sure myself, but then again I thought the idea of personal forums was a bit odd when it first started, and look how good it ended up.

I'm not too sure what the best course of action would be. I guess, in the end, it's your choice. UK Choose http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[mamaKCita]

i got nuthin for articles. mine weren't much good anyway.

[Power_13]

I'm UK Spartacus!No, I'm UK Spartacus!

[Power_13]

Actually, quick question about that movie. The Romans go to find Spartacus, and the entire group stands up and claims to be Spartacus.

Now, that's the most famous scene in the film and I've only heard of it. Never seen the film. So what I really want to know is, is the ending:

-the happy kind where the Romans cannot kill so many men, so they are all set free, including Spartacus

-the bitter-but-happyish kind where Spartacus reveals himself somehow to be the real Spartacus, the Romans kill him but spare the rest

-the probable realistic kind where the Romans don't have a clue which man is the real Spartacus, so they kill 'em all just to be on the safe side.

[mamaKCita]

they're all crucified, spartacus last.

[fountains of nay]

hmmmmmmm no more game then :(

When she said good times, she was referring to the running joke through this thread (things that rhyme with news), not the execution of Roman prisoners. :)

[mamaKCita]

oh. that makes sense.

[mamaKCita]

hell, even if i was referring to the execution of roman prisoners, it would still be easily discernable as sarcasm.

[Power_13]

Yeah, because sarcasm is really easily detected over the internet :rolleyes:



(sorry mamaK, couldn't resist that :tongue: )

[mamaKCita]

i think it's easily detected. or at least, i ASSUME when people MUST be sarcastic, they are in fact, sarcastic.
