: Bring on the crap, I say...lay it all out. I want to talk politics, philosophy, religion, history, literature, media, music, art.
My personal experience has shown that religious discussions are dangerous, but the others are fine by me.
I want three page long essays on the nature of being and I want two sentence posts on why Quake 3 or whatever it is kicks ass. I want deep debates, I want shallow online love affairs, I want it all going down on the ViewAskew. Anarchy is an underestimated option.
cool. I'm a firm believer in Anarchy, I'm talking old-school, 80's punk RAWK hardcore Anarchy: DK, FYP, Jello Biafra, MayDay, bring it all back!
: Personally, I miss hanging around here as frequently as I used to. I miss the passion and the cynical humor that the regulars invest into their conversations, whatever the topic may be. But there is so much going on in my life, and the world, that it becomes frustrating to maintain a community here whose primary purpose becomes regulating and indoctrinating new members into a sole topic of interest -- namely, ViewAskew -- rather than communicating with one another.
I have no life, so I still hang around more than some people would want me to.
: Furthermore, the boundaries between what's acceptably off-topic b/c the redfolks are interested in it and what's unacceptably off-topic have made the whole concept pretty damn worthless.
: I'm pretty sure the Big Cheese has made his mind up about this already, but that's my two cents of reassurance for those who are fretful about the whole affair. If nothing else, this is bound to be fun & havoc. Relax and spread your sensory organs.
