I guess slam wasn't among my wedding blog readers, then.

I'll learn to live with the disappointment.

Please page me when when the discussion returns to game shows.

Over and out.

You think political discourse is nonsense but want serious discussion about a game show?

And you call us nuts?

Don't let the door hit you...

Can you also ask him for that five bucks he borrowed from me back in '92?

I thought that was a campaign contribution.

Exactly the sort of word-twisting post that I decry! I think ridiculously partisan political discourse is nonsense. Serious political discourse is valuable and important.

I guess it was all us nuts that attracted all those squirrels! And talk about boring--y'all had plenty of time to register Mustard Meanie as an MM, but nooooo....

I'll just post as Fern if you're going to be so dull...

Subject: "No More Millionaire Board For Me"

With all the garbage that is tacked to this board, there isn't
any room for discussion of the game show, Who Wants
to be a Millionaire. No need reading it. There is nothing
there but the rantings and ravings of Barney and His
Friends.

This was Mr. Price's 11th post.

He came back under another handle and posted 960 more times....

OK, who did he morph to? I know I know this but I don't remember. Did he own up to being both handles or was his cover blown?

In line with sliver's suggestion, maybe a temporary subforum could be created for politics stuff (like the FNGD and Transcript ones). Although I don't know if it would actually work, because people like to be where the action/traffic is, and where they think their works of art have a better chance to be read.

Personally, I think it's not much of an issue, as it's much easier to skip over in threaded format. Instead of posts and posts and posts to have to look at the subject to find the non-political ones sandwiched in, you just see three or four topics that you figure are political stuff that's all been said 58068433 times, and move on.

This doesn't address the 'on topicness' of game shows, though. If it was just game shows, there would probably be about 4 posts per day (and three of them would be Marley bitching about actors who live in NYC). Maybe a dozen or so when there are new BAM episodes.

There is room here for discussions on many different subjects. Way back, In The Beginning, The Bored used to contain threads that mostly dealt with the BAM phenomenon. We all had aspirations to get on the show and you never saw such a flurry of posting as when The Phone Game was at its zenith. The flurry continued through the first couple of years of auditions. During The Early Years many friendships were formed and gatherings, dinners and other such "mini-fests" were held were we got to actually meet one another and enjoy each other's company face to face. Over the last couple of years, since many of our crowd had already been on the show and had left the friendly confines of The Bored, discussions have drifted away from conversations regarding game shows. Sure, there are several hard-core gamers here but many of us just like the conversation and cameraderie with friends we have known for all these years.

You people on the right, left, top or bottom are all bonkers with ridiculously slanted viewpoints. I have no interest in such nonsense.

Then, it's quite simple, don't post in those threads.

Please page me when when the discussion returns to game shows.
Over and out.

We are not here for this purpose. Post (or don't post) at your own discretion.

That is all.

I came back from vacation and skipped all the threads about politics and Olympics. It's doable, even by a nincompoop such as I...

The subforum's already been suggested to me both publicly and privately, and I still remain against it, for the reasons you cited in the same paragraph. I think everyone can just clench their teeth, hold their nose, and wait out the madness.

Interestingly enough, most of the people who left the Bored immediately after the '04 election (LLMax, doncoop, jibberpup, to name a few) were some of the main political posters themselves.....

Isn't the Election the Biggest Game Show of them all, or is AI bigger?

Beebs52 · #42 Post by **Beebs52** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 8:03 am

The threader is most certainly true, though. We are all nuts. I'm probably repeating someone, but I DON'T CARE! AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!

Maybe there would be more election voters if they were allowed to vote multiple times as with AI.

BackInTex · #45 Post by **BackInTex** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 8:09 am

Full disclosure:

I have absolutely no interest in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Since the prime time show went off the air and it has become a talk show with some occaisional prize money given to the hand picked 'contestants', I've moved on.

I enjoy the folks here and the disucssions most of which have nothing to do with WWTBAM.

Most of the folks here are good people, though some are politically lost.

I see it as my purpose to save them.

The avatar is a clue to his 'second coming'.

& he never owned up to being both, at least on the bored. It was difficult not to when a BB met him in person.
