New Forum Idea

You know, discuss your stocks, money situations, etc. I'd think people on here play the markets so maybe the admins may want to think about this.

Hmmm, my guess is that the majority of the board are college age or less, so I'm not sure how much a Finances Folder would get used.

Posted

I think there's enough folders, as is. You could talk finances in CE if you wanted.

yeah, the finance board is not a good idea. it would make the food folder look like the wwe folder by comparison.

Guest HartFan86

Eh, I suppose.

 

The reason being is I'm taking some business classes in High School right now so I figured if there was some other kids out there who were as well it might work out.

i think if you are interested in that kind of thing, post a topic in general chat and see how many people respond. you may or may not get good advice or good discussion.

With so many people here not even college age, I don't think the Finance forum would go over well. I could see a thread or two for it in General Chat or even CE, but that would be about it. CE would be better, I think, since you're more likely to run into people who play the market there.

Why is that?

What is this "Finance" that you speak of?

Seeing how 75% of this board is either highschool and jobless or College student and in debt, tt will be pointless, start a topic in CE and asked for it to get pinned, you will get the same effect.

Actually, I was thinking of more of a school subject-like folder the other day and this brought it back to the forefront of the brain. Since we've got so many people in school of some kind still, why not a folder for help and information and such? I could be the SOCIAL STUDIES MOD~! of the place or something.

 

It could also allow us to discuss history, science, philosophy and stuff like that. I don't see it being much more frequented than Porno or Food, but it'd still get traffic I think.

 

Just an idea.

ABUSE! OF POWER! THIS IS AN ABUSE! OF POWER! YOU CAN'T BAN ME! YOU CAN'T! I'M ALREADY BEEN BANNED! IT'S AN ABUSE! OF POWER!

 

As told to another mod.

Why is that?

Because Current Events attracts more of the post-college crowd, who are likely to have played the market or at least have something of a portfolio. General Chat draws people from all over the board, a lot of whom are under 18 and may not have any interest in the market, let alone be active in it.

 

Heck, I don't really follow and play the market THAT much. I'm all about the mutual funds and money markets, since they're less vulnerable to fluctuations in the Dow and can still be played aggressively for the long-term.

In other words, people who think they're more intelligent than us common folk.

No way. I don't even want to be reminded of the sorry state of my portfolio. If I saw a "Finances folder" every time I came here, I would just get depressed.

 

I still can't believe I fucking held on to Exodus until the end.

What about MY idea?

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

The Ghyey-Raver Had a good Idea. I think we should add it.

Guest Kotzenjunge

You know, I don't harass you about YOUR interests every time you post.

EDIT: How the hell did THAT happen? Damn double posts.

That's because there's nothing to harass.

 

Besides I agreed with your Idea.

i love the history folder idea but i really think it would be a dead folder. plus, even if we did add it, do we really need another mod? um... no.

Posted

Hey, you said it, not me. :P Elitism RAWKS~!

 

Really, I think it's a case of people being interested in things like current events, politics, and finance just being older than the average here. You should join us sometime. We are a peaceful people.

So don't put a Mod for it. Jingus is already a SuperMod. He's smart and essentially lives at his PC screen.

 

And I bet it wouldn't be so Dead. I'd post there regularly. And we all know how much i post.

Posted

I don't give a flying fuck about politics, however. One day I'm liberal, the next I'm conservative, so I'll get flamed to bits. Anyway, I've been allowed to rip on people in other folders, so I don't need to go there.

How the hell did you do that?...

Not a history folder, just school subjects in general.

Like a Folder I made when Vanilla Midgets was around still.

 

You could talk about History,and other stuff that was too deep for any other folder. (it was also the current events folder but we have one here)

Remember the jokes folder? It was good, no? I forgot my point.

 

Oh, what about a "warez" type folder? That would be nice....

Yeah, let's advertise the board as a hangout for criminals. Superb idea.
