What this forum needs is a looney bin.

One forum I used to moderate on had a section called 'The Looney Bin' where posts went that are deemed inappropriate for the main forum.

Examples of this would be threads discussing mods, other members, flame wars, attacks on cue makers, etc.

These threads would be moved to the to looney bin and would be left open, that way whoever is interested could still go and fight it out on the thread but it got it off the main forum since it really doesn't belong there.

Also the looney bin was a place for jokes, crazy photos and stuff along those lines, unlike NPR which is usually political discussion and serious stuff.

Getting your thread sent to the looney bin was sort of an honor actually.

That's the best idea I've heard since Bacon Salt

We already have one.. It is called NPR. If you haven't been in it lately, you will see the same old loonies in there every day. I try to stay away from it now, because it was kinda making me crazy..... er.

You beat me to it Doc. You sure have to wade through a lot of B.S. to get to anything worth reading. I keep reading my own posts over & over. Does that qualify me for the LOONEY BIN? John
 
I would like to apply to be a charter member of the looney bin. This is the best idea I've heard in a while.
 
No, this MB really needs a voice of reason to take over the weak minds who post here daily. That way, people here know who to listen to.

Let me know when you guys are ready for me to take over.
