The Rules - Discuss
The Rules.
Discuss 'em in here. Don't like one? Let's talk about it. Think we need a new one? Have at it, what'cha got?
The rules posted at the moment are Neut's old ones; they're here as a stopgap set.

Rules are stupid.
Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

Or drop the "No Porn" rule. One way or the other.

Oh, gimme a couple of hours. I'll get to it eventually.
They'll be going back as close to the version I had before the crash as I can get.

Or, more realistically, after we get our iPod Forum up and running.

Like you pay attention anyway. 
"Have you heard the theme she sings for the 'Spongebob Squarepants Movie'? It's punk. But she says she's not punk. So it's nice that she came out of punk retirement long enough to sing a song about a smurfing sponge that lives under the sea."

Re: The Rules - Discuss
Ok, the new rules are up and ready for anyone who would like to see them. [/url]
A Personal Observation: Rule #10, "10) You don't have free speech here..." seems to be one created purely for the self-aggrandizement of the rule-maker(s)... Why post a "rule" which specifically cites a real and/or perceived limitation on written expression? Although I understand the motivation behind Rule #10 and I respect the facts that posts are at the discretion of the Mods(as thsi is a private board), the deliberate reference to lack of free speech sets up a dangerous precedent to limited or controlled speech, which, I am sure, is not what MiniThink or This Board advances... if Rule #10 is allowe to stand, this Discussion Board should be renamed a "refereed discussion board" as no free thought seems to apply..
