At Home 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 I think if we all agree to do a book club thing where we all get one book a month and discuss at certain checkpoints, then it should work out fairly well as long as those willing to participate put the fucking time into it.

BruteSquad_BRODY 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 If y'all would've just stuck the posters were being unruly or terrible in the Gulag, instead of what the 4 who ended up spending any time there, it could've provided the entertainment expected. In other words- good plan, terrible execution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted September 6, 2008 I don't see why we don't make comics a Lit folder and do the book stuff in there. I like the media folder idea and I'd probably share stuff from my huge wrestling collection on an irregular basis but how many people would actually share stuff?

Perfxion 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2008 Do a full out lit folder, but I agree with Agent, no CWDWAT. Hell, every one of those CWDWAT threads on the board could get the boot in my opinion. They kill traffic. Or another idea would be an auto's section, move that CE thread on gas prices in there and see what comes from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2008 Comics isn't exactly booming. There's no reason Literature couldn't work there. I'm leaning toward media, but like CWM said, there's no guarantee more than a few would share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2008 Book club would be good, as I'm totally stumped on what to read. I looked at my bookshelf and its full of Star Wars books, Robert Rankin books and the obligatory cliché titles. I'm against media sharing, as you'll just encourage random leechers from the interweb to join up and take the content and never contribute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brady's Torn ACL Report post Posted September 13, 2008 The Media Dumping Ground would be in the NSFW department, so Google can't access it, nor could guests or larvae. That's what we're going with for now. Book Club may be an addition to TSM if we can ascertain sufficient interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2008 Book Club may be an addition to TSM if we can ascertain sufficient interest. Can't Book Club just co-opt the existing Comics folder? Just move the recommendations and DFW threads there and we've doubled that forum's content in seconds. Do we really need to continue the dialogue regarding a potential lit folder when comics still roams free? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Copper Feel 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2008 Am I the only one who realizes the Comics folder used to BE a Literature folder? Which was filled with nothing but discussion about comic books. In fact, genuine literature discussion was so sparse and unexpected that Czech had to create his 'Book Recommendations' thread in General Chat to avoid the all too likely scenario of nobody who noticed it caring about literature in the slightest.

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted September 16, 2008 but now there is interest and if we make it clear that book discussion is welcome there more people should post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2008 I'll chip in too, but it was five years ago now. Due to a lack of interest (or concern, perhaps), I was forced to relegate the TSM Recovering Alcoholics Support Group to a thread in Graphics Testing. But, please, come and share any well-wishes or advice with us there. I'm drunk right now and I don't feel very good about myself. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
