    Actually this of the fault of posters like you and the rest of the forum.

    Simply put, Miles and I are the only truly active posters on this board. Thus o 80% of the hidden board is him creating banal threads about his boring likes and dislikes, and me trying to wind him up politically to try and induce another breakdown for my amusement.

    If other posters were more active and created their own threads the boards would have more content.

    But moaning at my political religious rants, or Miles telling us about what brand of toothbrush he uses is not really fair as the rest of you aren't really posting anything at all!

    If Miles and I stopped posting there might be like one new topic on the hidden board per day. It's tumbleweeds and sand most of the time in here nowadays

    Good points, though I am not happy that your modus operandi is to make me have a breakdown.

    It does annoy me sometimes when people criticise the excessive political and religious ranting because nobody is forcing anybody to open a thread or even post in it. If I start a thread about the royal family for instance it will have that in the thread title. You know what to expect so should act accordingly. You don't need to open it or read it.

    In this instance it is superheroes, but it is quite on topic to have a debate about whether Superman was a Jew or not. It's nothing to get angry about though and is harmless banter. It seems that everyone gets pissed off except me and Bilbo, even though we are the ones doing our best to annoy each other.

    No one forces me to open a thread about politics/religion...thats right...WHEN ITS IN THE FUCKING TOPIC DESCRIPTION! This was called favourite superhero...yet there is a debate to whether superman is a jew and whether he denounced america or some fuckin bullshit. How could I see that coming from the topic?

    Yeah I dont post often, I have never been much of a thread starter....but Im not into politics or religion so I cant reply to them either. This may be why you dont have many people posting because they cant fit into the new religion/politics fad that has overcome the forum. I have seen more posts moved into the hidden section from the regular boards than ever before just coz some normal discussion turns political.

    Im just starting to wonder whether we just create a political board or some bullshit so the rest of the forum can really choose to whether they want to read it or not. Its nothing against you Bilbo or Miles....but fuck this is getting as bad as pac/mayweather nut huggers. And really is it any different to that? Same repetitive subjects brought up over and over whether or not they are relevant to the thread.

    I don't see how this thread is about politics at all? It's just a bit of friendly banter between Miles and I.

    If you look at the forum during the day, most of the time it's only really Miles and I posting. So we just chat to each other.

    It's really ridiculous for people to get annoyed about what we talk about when nobody else is here

    Just create your own threads and talk about what you want to talk about.

    from a "Liberal", some of you might find it very funny but one of my all time favorite super hero is actually leaning on the very right side: Rorscharch: He had wicked youth and joined the watchmen beliving that something had to be done as there was too much corruption around and after the law passed the law against masked vigilantes, Rorscharch refused to give up the fight he believed in and refused to abdicated to what he consider to be an unfair law. His convictions told him to keep fighting the crime off and to use the same boardgame as the criminals: they play on both conventional and unconventional boards, he'll just do the same. He's in top shape despite his 45 years old, even more than good ol' Hopkins, his tough as a nail because of his past, damn clever and his detective skills are just second to SHerlock Holmes. Sure, his mental is questionable on some aspects but he knows it, he's aware that the shocks he has had did play a toll somewhere, hence why he wears a mask with moving ink spots on it, the perpetual movement of his angers and his mental "instability".
    Still, Rorscharch has 2 qualities that are damn important: he's ultra loyal and ultra integrity; he'll never betray you if you're on his team, will fight heart and soul for you and he's impossible to corrupt, going as far as dying because he refused to let the "big lie" goes on. Combine that with the fact that he's just a simple mortal with damn good skills and an iron will, you have the heck of a man. Liberals can't get the job done because of corruption and legal questionable issues? He,ll get the problem, analyze it when you thought he'll not get it, he,ll strike you from down below without mercy.

    He's quite fascinating on many levels IMO.

    I am surprised about the amount of DC fans there are on here. DC is associated with white middle class establishment ideals.

    I don't think the site has been particularly taken over by politics or religion anyway. You just need to look at the thread titles on the first page. When was the last time I started a proper political thread? I'm tempted to do it all the time, but choose not to because I don't want to dominate the board. Most of my recent threads are extremely trivial and they are designed that way. The new superman one is just a joke too.

    I stay here because I think it's fun too. The interaction makes me laugh and even if I am posting something serious I regard it as a challenge and that too is fun. Bilbo keeps me on my toes. Maybe Snakey is just having a bad day, because at the end of the day the contents of the board consist of what anyone posts. If you don't contribute to the discourse you can't really blame it for not having the content that you want.

    This place is just as fun as it has always been for me.

    That's what gets me, to have a poster who hardly ever posts anything these days just to interupt a conversation to say he's not happy with what we are talking about is very rude and rather ridiculous.

    Imagine doing that in real life, he would not be a very popular chappy with that kind of attitude.

    Plus we contain our back and forths to each other's threads largely. There is a football thread on this board for example and I've never even clicked in there, not really interested in football so I don't care. But I would never go in to it and moan about posters always talking about a particular team or player for example. It's their discussion not mine. I'll just stick to spamming your threads

    Yeah, you would think people would know what to expect by now. If it is a thread of yours or mine, you pretty much know that we will be winding each other up about something or other and that it might turn to creationism or Israel or one our other pet issues. To come into the thread and get angry about it would just be a bit silly. What else were you expecting?
