INN OF LOST SOULS: general chit-chat thread

[oh_brother]

I actually do own (and watch) a TV...I feel so left out!

I don't watch much, because 99% of what is on is just utter rubbish (soaps, reality tv, etc.).

But occasionally there are some gems...some BBC documentaries in particular can be excellent, especially their natural history stuff. I am really enjoying Human Planet at the moment.

Also I try to watch the news once a day, and at times like now when there is a general election it is good to see the leaders debates and so on.

Sports is another one, I am not a huge sports fan but I enjoy international football and rugby. TV is important for me for the 6 nations at the moment.

And at times it is nice to be surprised with some show that you were not expecting to watch, like a good Star Trek TNG episode.

Then again I could probably see the majority of the things I watch on the internet or dvd, but not all. Still, TV can be useful, so long as you are selective in what you watch and don't just sit there blankly staring at whatever they decide to throw in front of you!

What he said ^
(only in Spanish)

I think id prolly watch rugby if they showed it here. American football is soooooo boring.

[raixel]

Heh, anyone else notice the board has 1335 registered members? If we get two more, I guess then we really will be elite...

[Jan]

Ca 15 % of the "users" have no post, ca 20 % only have one post. But it's nice to be a 0,074794315632011967090501121914734 % of an elite.

Lol, well we'll know the 1337th poster will be the uberleet messiah that will lead us to Dm Nirvana. Or something

[raixel]

Oooo! DM Nirvana -- where the screamers are loud and the shanks tasty. Never a dry waterskin in the house, and you can find the weight of anything by touching it to your eye!

[Bit]

hmm - watching my current DM2-source, there are a lot of pointers pointing to Nirvana... &)

The shoe is the sign! Let us follow his example! *raises his sandal*

[Ameena]

No! We must follow the holy gourd! <raises the gourd>

[beowuuf]

Yes, we are all different!


Well, I'm not.

"Her name is Incontinentia Buttocks!"

Tee hee. Random quotes from a silly film. Love it!

[raixel]

God, I remember the first time I saw that, I about died laughing. At least the Life of Brian hasnt been ruined(as bad) like the holy grail from overquoting. I seriously cant watch Holy Grail anymore.

We are now very close to it. I have nothing more interesting to say.

Yeah. It's like "Waiting for Godot". It's an absolute nail-biter. *shivers*

[Gambit37]

Maybe this is time to prune out some of those zero-post lurkers. That would put us back by around 250 members... so your Godot analogy would be even more perfect

[ian_scho]

Nothing wrong with a zero post lurker - I was one for about 6 months and now look what happened to me.

[Jan]

It's more like Sisyphus and his boulder.

What happened? What should I say?

Compared to your posting average, he became a spammer

[beowuuf]

He was once a luker, BUT NOW HE IS A GOD!

Well, High Lord.

Well, High Lord according to rankings.

[raixel]

I lurked here for about a year before I registered. But once I did, I havent shut up since.

So theres no real point in registering if youre not posting, as you can read the board without being reg'ed. I say delete all 0 posters who havent logged in for 3 or so months and all 1 posters who havent logged in a year or two. But thats just me...

[beowuuf]

The point of being registered is that all the new posts show up though.

Anyway, unless someone proves the member database is doing harm, I have have no desire to prune it. I'm happy to allow people who posts ages ago to come back, and those who just like to lurk and read only a forum or two (like probably the custom dungeon forum or one of the engine forums) keep doing that.

[Gambit37]

I was only joking. After all, I remember when we had this discussion about 0 posters years ago. I have no desire to go there again

[raixel]

Pffft, I never noticed the thing about the new posts till you pointed it out just now. LOL.

[oh_brother]

He was once a lurker, BUT NOW HE IS A GOD!

Hmm..we could sacrifice all the zero-posters as an offering to appease Ian, our new God. Just an idea.

[Jan]

OK, cool. Except - how would this help us to get the 1337th member?

[Zyx]

Only if he promises that our soul will reincarnate with better stats.

[zoom]

Nothing too special for a God to promise us our 1337th member, I suppose
Anything else worth negotiating for, while we´re at it?

My hovercraft is full of eels.

I will not buy this tobacconist's. It is scratched.

Or I don't know. What was the question, again?
