It's sucking my will to post.

Why has everyone practically stopped participating here? This has to be the deadest 2 or 3 days I've ever seen, not to mention the population decrease after Game II.

This sort of sucks ass, you know? Where are you people? Where are all the conversation generating threads? Where are all the people in chat? What is wrong with this place now?

Inquiring minds want to know.

guru,

i agree, there's been nothing going on lately. the threads aren't even related to tv, or the clubhouse.

i went into chat a few times but no one was there. maybe a schedule will help. set a time each nite when people will be there.

personally, i'm not interested in supercomputers or spanking, or many of the other threads that i've seen lately...sorry.

there used to be fun threads, now it's waaaaay too serious.

If inquiring minds want to know....

After spending most of the last two weeks glued to my computer (answering trivia, and in the chat room until the wee hours, and playing new addictive games) I remembered that I am a self-employed artist. With my next show just two weeks away, I had to pry my fingers off the keyboard and go to my studio to make more stuff (in other words GO TO WORK)! Also, my brain was mush and I needed to catch up on sleep.

I will be checking in from time to time for the next few weeks but I can't stay and "play" as much as I would like. I do enjoy reading the thought provoking threads and leaving my two cents worth.

Also, I have tried to recruit some friends to come visit and check out our cyber-community. There seem to be about 20 or so "regulars" right now. We need some "new faces" to stay fresh and have good exchanges of thought. I will be thinking of possible ways to stimulate our membership and increase our ranks.

Laf - I agree with you. The topics have gotten very serious of late. Having a twisted sense of humor, I appreciate the lighter/and darker sides of life. If I take everything too seriously (including myself) I get tend to get depressed.

This should be a fun place to hang, as well as having a more serious side, if you want open yourself and share with others. Where are the humorous threads? When was the last dare? Come on guys lighten up a little!

Hey, I tried. While my post about good deeds is serious, at least it's positive and can raise someone's spirits.

So, now we can only be positive and funny for anyone to bring us to life?

Bazillion bazookas we can't have that! Guru, think of a new game and lets go!

Ok, apparrantly I now understand what people want here. They want TV talk and that's it. I thought talking about all kinds of things would make this place better. Apparrantly, all most people want to do is talk about what others are doing on TV or playing Games.

Yes, a lot of the topics have got serious around here but that's what everyone seemed to want out of me. I mean, WTF? This place is becoming a joke, not from the seriousness but from the people who don't know what they want here. As for work, most of us do that anyway, right? I didn't know everyone took off for game time.

Maybe Flame Warrior will drag everyone back.

Is this site having an identity crisis?

Did I hear someone say Flame Warriors ?? Now that would liven the place right up! LOL
Guru, the title of this thread is about what it feels like. When I read it I knew you had to be the one who started it. I have been busy redoing the lower level of my House.
It does seem pretty dead around here. I stop in everyday to take a peek to see what is going on, but not always posting. This is probably just a short lull on the board. Things around here will get going again.

Sis, you are so right we can't have the life getting sucked out of Guru. Do you want to give him mouth to mouth or should I ? No wait... we both can take turns. LOL Sorry couldn't resist that, it's no fun unless your being just a little bit bad !

I think what is interesting to some is not to others, yet that doesn't mean we can't discuss a topic. This is a discussion forum for all topics. If you want to get technical, every topic is discussed on t.v., as well.
So it is a slow time right now.. well people are busy.
The topic concerning children was of great interest to me and to some others as well. So don't knock those of us who do find a thread interesting.
If you want a topic of interest to yourself, POST IT. We will all respond in kind.

One thing I like about this forum is the ability to post on a wide variety of subjects.

Maire, ROFLMAO

Misslibra, I am not sure if you want to give guru mouth to mouth. How do you feel about kissing another woman?

I wondered the same thing Guru. Seemed like yesterday there were about 4 people around during the day... guess it's a busy time for a lot of people.

My favorite thread... The Funniest Times In Your Life has now sunk to near bottom. I think Digi and I could keep it going on our own lol... but there were only a few people that posted to it.

I am not sure what people are interested in... apparently not college basketball lol.

Funny, Merlin. I think I caught the sarcasm in that.

I would like to challenge those that are losing interest here to make a post on a subject (controversial or otherwise) that they are interested in. If everyone did that at once, there would be more to reply to and could generate more interest.

I think the site needs a mission statement. How about developing one Guru? :)

I also think that changing the site name to TVCLUBHOUSE was a mistake. Most of the people here originally either loved or loved to hate the people on BB. Personally, I could care less about TV, in general. I probably watch 3 or 4 hours a week, excluding news and sports. I just come back to the site because of the people who make me laugh and the odd interesting thread.

Okay Guru, it is time to come clean with the truth. You need to let everone know your real name is Charlene.

(Ok, here's the 3 min. summary)


The TVCH Mission Statement:

It is the mission of the TVCH to be a collective gathering place for discussion and friendship pertaining to, but not limited to, TV shows, media, movies, reality shows, and reality of life.


___________


My personal amendment is that I pledge to be fair and offend everyone in equal amounts, to stir up controversy, and to diversify the tone of my posts while at the same time staying true to myself, respectfully listening (but not necessarily accepting) the opinions of the individuals around me, retaining the friendships of those who grow to mean the most to me, and creating an addictive environment for all who choose to participate.

Which statement was outstanding?

The TVCH Mission Statement or the Guru's MeccaLeccaHiMeccaHineyHoHouse?

I kinda like the second one.
