Originally posted by KewpiePresumably the people who have posted a lot on this thread have derived some "worth" from it. But I can certainly appreciate that it might not have been every onlooker's cup of tea. 😀
I can't believe how an attention-seeking post by Grampy Bobby has resulted in 102 pages of juvenile finger-pointing - and absolutely nothing has been said.
Tends to support the statement that long threads aren't worth reading, doesn't it?

Originally posted by SeitseSeitse, I just like the poem. Truly, that's it, and what I said earlier.
I know Frost, thanks. Sandberg and Stevens top it for me, at least
among the meager selection of worthy U.S. poets.
And I am not asking what others think, or links or copy pastes; I
am asking what is [b]your reading of it and the value it brings
into your life.
Please, apply some gray matter into this. We know your leader is
a copy paster ...[text shortened]... crite extraordinaire, but I have the suspicion
that you may happen to have a brain of your own.[/b]
Thanks for your appraisal of me. Mine of you is rather similar.

Does your sweeping generalization "that long threads aren't worth reading..."
also apply to Red Hot Pawn General Forum Word Games?
Originally posted by KewpieMinimal content, but valuable experience in thinking outside the box. Try it sometime.
I'm inclined to think that long forum threads are less an indicator of interest and more an indicator of boredom, because they're mostly just long lists. For example, the hugely popular Word Association thread, now in its second or third incarnation, has no content whatever.

Request to All Red Hot Pawn Members: Please think twice or thrice before disclosing highly sensitive personal information on these public forums.
Why? Because once you do it becomes part of the public domain which then becomes available to anyone with access to the worldwide internet..

This is like a wolf warning the sheep.
So, how about information obtained in private forums, sweetie?
"If you're tempted to post an immediate Thumbs Down in reaction to the following statements authorized by the Sole Proprietor of Red Hot Pawn, it's your prerogative to do so. However, the questions you must eventually ask yourself are, "Then whose authority do I accept? My likeminded friends? My own?"

"Overview" Help : forumguide
"The forum moderators' objective is to enable enjoyable forum usage. We want an environment where newcomers feel free to post to the forums without fear of being unfairly attacked and where posters don't feel overly-policed.
We want the Red Hot Pawn forums to be as open as possible. All moderation will be made using best-judgment and will never be used to stifle opinion, so long as such posts remain within the boundaries set out here.
Moderators have the ability to hide posts, hide threads, move threads to other forums, and place forum bans for varying periods of time on posters continually breaching the posting guidelines.
Please note that members of the community are encouraged to use the Alert Moderator link below any post which they believe breaches the guidelines set out here. This will place the post on the moderators' list of posts to review.
The Guidelines
The following twelve points are the guidelines that should be followed when posting to the forums.
•Discussions in forums can often get heated, but while you may take issue with another poster's viewpoint, you must not resort to personal attacks or abuse. Do not post offensive or inflammatory remarks that stray beyond the bounds of reasoned debate. Calling another poster an "idiot" will leave a post subject to immediate removal.
•Do not post profanity. There may be occasions where the context of certain words may be acceptable, and this will be at the moderators' discretion, however posts containing profanity will often be removed automatically by the "robomod". There will be situations where it removes inoffensive posts, but this is unavoidable.
•Do not post material which is obscene, indecent or pornographic.
•Please stay on topic. There is clearly a subjective judgment to be made as to whether a post strays off topic and in the majority of cases the post will not be deleted unless it is considered to be disruptive to the thread and its participants.
•While it is acceptable to post links to external articles and information, you may not use these forums for advertising or promotion of products or services or canvassing support for political parties or movements. You may post links to personal home pages, but repeated spamming of such links is not permitted.
•Do not make defamatory posts. While reasonable criticism of an individual or organization is not in itself libellous, any post that adversely affects the reputation of a clearly identifiable person or company is likely to be removed.
•Do not harass other members of the community. Harassment is any unwanted conduct including insults, jokes and any remarks affecting the dignity of another. Such conduct could relate to gender, race, nationality, sexuality, religion, disability or other similarly sensitive issues.
•Do not post information which invades the privacy of another individual, or the disclosure of which would breach an individual's reasonable expectation of confidentiality.
•Any posts which are deemed to be incitements to commit criminal offenses, or any post which seeks to influence another to commit an offense will be removed.
•Repeated posting of the same material (spamming) is not acceptable.
•Overly trivial posts may be removed at the discretion of the forum moderators if they are deemed to be disruptive or distracting to the thread and its participants.
•Do not rant. Ranting is defined here as a style of post that comes across as a political broadcast or an angry protest that does little to progress the discussion or to involve other posters. Such postings often feel like an intrusion into the general debate, regardless of the validity of the points being made." ~Russ
