PDA

View Full Version : For such a popular board, it moves pretty slow here.

I just find it rather surprising the "currently active" and the "viewers" counter for each subject bars are always so full but it seems like most people don't post. Coming from spending many years on a gaming site called Gamefaqs most of the current and social boards move so fast and have such a flow of posting traffic that your topics either quickly fill of responses almost like you're in a messenger program lol or it falls into obscurity. I have caught myself getting impatient on the responses to topics around here a few times.

Why do most visitors here seem to just lurk? Not that it's a bad thing, just curious. :thumbsup:

I post to topics that interest me. Unfortunately it seems most people want to talk about what they're cooking for dinner, or how their girlfriend is cheating on them.

There is only so much to talk about when it comes MJ...it is just what stoners do. Talk about obscure things and enjoy it. Much like this stupid ass thread. I wonder if I am allowed to neg rep anyone yet. LOL

I just think there's better people to ask relationship advice than a bunch of stoners, no offense guys. haha.

It's not like those topics affect me, I'm just saying thats why I don't comment very much.

actually i think us or some similar comunity is the best to go to for relationship advice (not that i do, just saying)

as we represent general people, where as 'love doctors' rarely ever know wtf they're talking about...(from what i've seen from them, they are rarely ever 'neutral' i.e. a woman dr. gives out advice from a female prespective, and male drs do the same... i dunno if that makes sense, kinda hard to put that thought train in words) and people such as your friends or parents usually back your decision, even if it's not the best choice for you...

just my thought on that part...

Well I think it isn't exactly about "getting advice" on relationships at least it wouldn't be for me, more as getting another perspective from other people. Discussing it, throwing ideas and suggestions back and forth can often times help oneself in determining what they want to ultimately do about said problem.


Unrelated question in regards to board functions... why did my little green box on the right of my post header turn to red?

awwww katy's feeling a touch negative this afternoon I see...

Podge, why don't you post any more? WTF come on get typing. You get carpal tunnel or something?

Melkane I was wondering that too... someone gave you neg rep... I just looked up your previous posts to see if you were being a prick... alas, you were not. :D Go into your user CP and see what post it was on willya?

This isn't a bad place to come for other types of advice... health, relationship, whatnot, as this is a VERY diverse community that includes some interesting, educated, worldly, and well-travelled people.... you just have to have a little common sense and take it all with a grain of salt and a large dose of good humor. Which some people seem to be lacking...

Stick around for the hot summer months Melkane....when tempers flare in here you find ALOT of activity. LOL....also watch your calander for full-moons.

In general this is a very chill site filled with stoners so things don't move quite as fast as some sites and the daytime hours seem to move a little slower than the evenings. Hit the right though and you'll have a hard time keeping up on the posts.

Have a good one!:s4:

dunno what time zone you're in, but by my time zone there are a couple of spikes in activity... one is in about 2 hours (5pm) and the other is in about 6-7 hours (around 8-9ish pm)

I really like that we can say "fuck" here and not get deleted. Unfortunately I have been known to swear like a sailor on occasion and it seems "fuck" is one of my favorite words! :eek:
I'm also partial to "asshole"!:D

In a post is fine but use it in a thread starter and then I can have my fun modifying it........BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!:D

As for myself, I've always been partial to assclown.:thumbsup:

And I've had enough exposure to P4B's unique terms that I've now gotten into the habit of using "assclown" in my everyday speech, usually when I'm driving. "Stupid assclown" and "fat assclown" just roll off my tongue when I'm negotiating traffic. Here on the boards, I tend to keep my language a bit more chill. Figure it helps counterbalance some of the more colorful terms we see here.

shit it's a stoner board, it's a given we're gonna talk about non-important random bullshit, and it's a given we love food.... it's like the perfect mix for lounge threads!

yea but i actually like how the boards are slow cuz that means there are less people on here than other forums and its more like a community where everyone knows everyone. if a shitload of people signed up then this site wouldnt be near as fun...

I have a brilliant idea! Someone should make a post that should give instant rep to the people who can find THE MOST RANDOM THREADS EVER STARTED!
