Listen hard
All of you sick twisted web-bastards.
The End Of Days in here, the final Sign has been shown.
The Beast approaches, with his Horsemen.

I, your Lord and Saviour, Kaol the Magnificent, have seen the Sign, and I know the Truth.

That sign is an Unholy Union: The Sacred Question, and the Holy Image Challenge are both on the same subject.

The End is nigh, so repent, before it's too late.

Does anyone else get the feeling
that we are being oh-so subtly driven off the main QOTW.

1. People start long chat threads on the QOTW as the topics are often crap
2. A fluffeh new thread area is set up for 'Off Topic'
3. More crap topics
4. Retreat to 'OT' for chat and cakes
5. QOTW left free of decent content

Maybe I'm wrong...

Che...
Not sure. The last couple of QsotW have been pretty good. This one, not so much - but I'm not much of a film fan, so I would say that - and there's scope for there to be some good writing once the initial list-frenzy has passed. ("Books" was one of the best...)

At risk of getting a flaming - there was someone who posted here a few days ago about how "Offtopic" was too saccharine, and I'm tempted to agree. At least the fluffeh crap isn't clogging up the proper questions. It's just the regular crap now.

It's great that everyone is now catered for on B3ta.

I agree with Che...
And Enzyme.

Kinda.

I think that it's all gone a bit odd on here. The Off Topic board is ok, but seems lacking in intelligent conversation. No offence. It's all good fun, but lacks real meat to it.

I very much enjoyed the conversation yesterday about evolution.

For closed-minded-ness and casual racism. They said that it "Isn't the place for it".

Bastards.

@Kaol
If you want a serious conversation then start one. I'm sure people will join in. It seems there are lots of people on here who want to talk crap. What's wrong with that. It's not because were thick or boring or anything else. It's just bloody good fun.

I very much enjoyed reading the thread about evolution and I hope there are more threads like that.

Edit - And what about all the stories that got posted here. That was great. I hope that it's something that will keep happening here.

I'm tired. I'll start a converation when I'm feeling less drained.

There have been plenty of serious debates in OT
but when there isn't one in progress, we tend to amuse ourselves with whimsical witterings.

I'm sure that every time someone launches a worthy topic, we'll all join in and discuss it in depth. Most of us enjoy it!

I'm fluffeh and proud!
I too saw yesterday's evolution debate but didn't notice it until the QOTW had been closed. But basically, what clendrix said a few posts up.

EDIT: The evolution debate seems to be restarting here.

Hi guys
Feelin' better now. I do reading with kids at a local primary school for an hour every other week. Just did my last session of the year and got a lovely homemade card and a tiny box of chocs.

Have dried my eyes and am ready for the world again.

Just to re-cap, I LOVE the OT board! I intend to do a 500 story on 'My Favourite Film' [thinks: I quite like climfilm....or has that been dun?].

Will also try to start threads on the odd topic as it occurs to me.

What I like is that I can now post maybe one or two things for the QOTW and more or less leave it alone, while hangin' with me buddies on OT.

Anyway - I've got a little box of choccies and I'm not sharing them, so there.

Oy! Che
Must share on here. It's the offtopic rules.
