A Poll about Polls...

[gEd]

Poll: Wallpaper or tiles?

Some of Tipster's polls have sparked some interesting discussions. Maybe they address the lack of public debate threads relating to life, politics, religion etc.

Some of them are just weird... but then I don't have to click on the thread if I don;t want to.

What Zehd said really.

Serious , less serious or total BS topics.... all fine by me, although one of Tipstirs polls (Is GBPVR in your kitchen?) was cut off by Sub

Shame about that. I was enjoying that one...

Me too. I wonder what any new user (such as those that could come here from the schedules direct "approved apps" page - people that have struggled with myth?) must think. It's getting like digg.

It's one thing to post in the general discussion section - everyone does from time to time - but IMHO this is getting out of hand; not even tangentially related to pvrs, media centers, etc..

Just a waste of bandwidth. Sorry.

Maybe we should get a new section in the forum specifically for the crap - let's call it 'The Coffee Room' or 'By The Water Cooler'.

Seriously, I see no reason why a group of folks coming together in a forum to discuss a common interest shouldn't be able to chew the fat. :p

After all, the subtitle for the General section is

General discussion or non GB-PVR related questions/thoughts

Groover, you disappoint me with this post, after seeing one of the most brilliant posts and a mirror of my thoughts the other day. I spend a lot of time on http://www.ls2.com bar and grill just for the BS. It is funny and informative at the same time. That is a GM engine forum but bar-n-grill is like being in a bar and being allowed to listen in to conversation and butt in or start your own conversation on ANY topic. I have preached GBPVR and homebuilt HTPC over there plenty of times. The ReplayTV AVSforum also turned a bit into a tiny bar-n-grill and that was cool too. A user named icecow in AVSforum is like Tipstir to the nth degree. I think it would be cool if a lot of you guys also posted in bar-n-grill at http://www.ls2.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=2

Oh well - can't please everyone.

I agree, a subforum off of the general discussion forum would be a good idea... maybe even tipstir could be a mod :eek:

Obviously I'd assumed that tipstir would be invited to moderate...
