"Humor" forum?
I was advised to post here for a suggestion I have.
I know this is an *almost* purely technical site, and is absolutely great for information. << wipes brown stuff from tip of nose >> I like to meander in the "Non-*nix General" forum, because of all the different subjects that are covered; science, humor, "my daily life", now good or bad OS's are, etc. But sometimes that forum can get a little heavy on the negatives, and the attitudes. Anyway, I think it might be an upper to add a humor forum, maybe as a sub-forum to the General section. Something to show the lighter side of those in our community. |
Maybe, but wouldn't it just get filled with tired old anti-Microsoft jokes and helpdesk transcripts? Have to say i've never been that impressed with the average "funny" post here...
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ighlight=funny but then maybe that in itself is because things stay roughly on topic. i've never posted links to anything at a site like b3ta.com or qwantz.com despite going there just as often as here... so in summary... http://icanhascheezburger.files.word...moderator1.jpg ;) |

Certainly not, not my call by any means... and it was just a convenient topical lolcatz picture i found...
Personally i'm not really that convinced, there would be a logic in then having a politics forum and a reglion forum too, and those would definitely be bad ideas. There would be a logic in an "off topic" forum which would provide a separation between that sort of thing and windows questions and other actual IT questions though. Personally i'm more in favour of keeping things as on topic as possible though. |

(I was thinking the OP's idea might be good. But then I haven't been following the humor on LQ.) |

But since I think this board is visited by minors, I don't think we should allow crude or sexual humor. Unfortunately, those do seem to be the best jokes! ;) Gee, I hope I'm not speaking against myself, here! |

But if politics, religion, & sex are banned, what's left to joke about? :D |
Thanks for the feedback. We have no plans to add a humor subforum at this time.
