Welcome to the playground.

This seems to be a community type related topic so here it is.

Instead of derailing them stuffy, oh so serious threads (that really, do need to stay serious and not be derailed), bring your social commentary, humor and irrelevant comments here.

Leave the adults alone. They have serious business to attend to.

But here, feel free to play, laugh, joke, unwind and you know, be a human being. Heck, feel free to just come by to share sad stories and get some moral support.

If you have a stick up your bum, have had your sense of humor surgically removed or are mentally over 30, then move along. This is the playground where us kids rule! :P

Playground rules, kids.

If you poke someone, expect to get poked back.
Everyone gets to play.
If you don't want to play, take your toys and go home.
New kids can expect to be teased.
Serious kids can expect to be teased.
Everyone else can expect to be teased.

Adult supervision not required.

Maybe next time sweetie. :wink:

Honestly though I think this idea of yours is a good one Nemesis. People in this line of work, much like cops or firefighters, just need a place to vent and unwind.

If we were serious all the time, we would all slowly good insane.

Sounds like an adult type, alright.

Well, we'll share the wings and beer if he shows his nose around here.

Sounds.... saucy, Sebastian. Is it hot as the name suggests?

As for Sophoroto,

I don't think you need to worry about your guardian getting upset. It would be pretty unreasonable to get upset over virtual goods.

Hi there Sophy. I remember you from the BBQ. Such a handsome and well mannered young man. I do hope that you can find the time to come by The Brick sometime. :wink:

Give Greydawn my best sweetie.

Speak for yourselves. I enjoy goofing off all over these boards.

Course I do it to remind people that life all isn't just doom and gloom.

Apparently some of you still don't get it.
The threads have information in them, sometimes valuable information.
When they're obscured by bullshit, all you accomplish is wasting researchers' time - if you want to have fun, be decent enough not to do it at another's expense.

Sure it is.

All doom and gloom, that is. All the more reason for goofing off.

Shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't. No sense worring about any of that and sticking to what is.

Sure...in this thread.
There's no reason for it elsewhere, when people are trying to do serious work and research.
Unless you just don't care, of course, but then there's no reason to be here if you don't care about the work others are trying to accomplish.

That's precisely why I asked you to start this thread.

Lets compare. Alot of cops and firefighters tend to keep it bottled up. Day after day, week after week, year after year. They take up drinkin', maybe drugs.

Now we can easily compare ourselves to cops and firefighters as we must deal with this stuff day after day, week after week, year after year. Now for the comparison shall we; yes lets.

Drinkin' or drugs or anger management issues from keepin' things 100% serious and bottled up 100% of the time

or

blowin' off steam and goofin' round to remain, to some degree, sane.

I'ld would take option B please.

Listen skeppy, take the 0 foot pole out ya' butt and just accept the fact ya' ain't gonna change jack about these forums. So ya' can beat a dead horse till' ya' blue in the face, or just climb on down here with the rest of us and try to act human.
