What would your reaction be if the next time you logged on the forum, you had 15 PMs?

I would try to remember if I had committed some awful crime on the forum.

Why would you guys think you did something bad and were being punished? I think fifteen personal messages sounds like a party. I would think I got them because I did something good, not bad. Besides, it seems like people on this forum like to publicly announce when they think somebody else is being annoying or a bother, so why would you get a PM about it?

Why are you biting your tongue? You should always say what you want to say because then you can’t regret not saying it.

I wouldn’t have regreted anything I was going to say, I just don’t have time for a debate right now.

I have gotten both in a PM form and in public. I think a PM would be better for the negative on a user along with the positive if it is specific about one user.

 

If I got 15 PMs I would think it’s a mix of forum mishaps and controversy along with BBstory PMs.

Well, now that I think about it, it might be one of those bothersome PM glitches that says you still have PMs when you have already read them.

If you were put in charge of a city, what would you do to encourage people to move to your city?

I’d make it a nice place to live– lots of greenways and things– and try to provide lots of jobs of course.

I wouldn’t. People can decide for themselves if they like the city or not.

Put up a billboard that says

Neckosburg

Or don’t.”

I already have this all planned out, but I’m going to take over the whole state of Colorado instead of a city, and I’m going to make it like a dome so people can’t leave, and I would encourage people to come by dropping flyers around the country saying how great the new Colorado is, and I would have tv advertisements and billboards.

Yes, but people also mean peace, love, and teamwork. Not everything about the human race is negative, it’s all what you decide to dwell on.

That depends on the people. I would gladly give up peace, love and teamwork for a city with none of what meanmistermustard listed.

And realistic. Stick two people on an island and after 4 days they will be at eat others throats and attacking each other with coconut shells. Don’t believe me? Do it and get back to me.

The reason they would go after each other is because they would become psychotic from the stressful situation they are in, not because they are inherently bad. Put any animal in a stressful and scary situation like that and they will more often than not turn into something they are not.

I don’t even know that that is true that would happen, though. Watch one of those TV shows where people are put in the middle of nowhere together, and you will find that they all work together to thrive and don’t usually turn on each other. And have you ever read Lord of the Flies? It takes them weeks before they go after each other.
