Simpsons Forum Request

flogen

Im not sure if this forum already exists, but if it does I cant find it.... (just delete the thread if it does....)

Anyway, I would like to suggest a Simpsons thread. this could cover all aspects of the show, and it would mean the 'whats your favorite episode' threads from Television and After Hours could be moved to a more dedicated place and stop being repeated every few weeks.

The forum could discuss best episodes, worst episodes, favorite characters... the upcoming film, whats wrong with the new episodes (if you think there is something wrong).

Anyone else agree??

Flogen

not a half bad idea. theres a lot to be discussed so a dedicated thread could free up clutter from various other threads.

irishgeo

i dont think so. what televison's for and the simpsons is crap lately.

But a family guy forum now your talking.:D

flogen

well thats fair enough, but my point is that there are so many topics regarding the simpsons that its best to give it an exclusive forum. I mean, Sienfeld has one because of its cult fan-base, so why not the simpsons? If your looking for a cult following then the simpsons is a perfect example.
And just because recent episodes havent been that good doesnt mean that the last decade of shows cant be discussed, infact the topic of the drop in quality could be covered quite in-depthly within a simpsons forum.

And I am a huge fan of Family Guy, but with only 3 series (so far) i dont think there is much material to build a forum on... thats not to say that it wouldnt work.
I think the simpsons has alot of possibilities for a forum... and plenty of people will want to visit it... name their fave episode, give their theories to its 'demise', or rumours about the film, name their favorite character, favorite quotes and even compare it to Futurama or Family Guy...

Why the hell would you even bother to suggest this, when there's a request for a forum that the simpsons would be right at home in ffs.

flogen

the cartoon suggestion?
well I actually didnt even notice that until after i started the thread, and besides, it looks as though it doesnt have much support as your idea would divide different types of show into different catagories, while i just suggested an exclusive simpsons forum.
given that there is already a seinfeld forum, i think the simpsons forum would be at least as popular as that, but probably more so.

Flogen

TheSonOfBattles

That's a community forum, and doubt most people would even notice that it was there if it was created same as a lot of forums

As for simpsons not fitting in in the anime/animation/manga/whatever forum suggested below, how would it not fit into an animation forum? Just because there'd be other things like futurama, family guy, evangelion, naruto and whatever other anime/manga people want to suggest in there as well, doesn't mean you can't start a simpsons thread in there as well whenever you want. It's the nature of a lot of threads to be recycled endlessly, so it's not really a bad thing if some threads pop up the whole time, hell they can be stickied if nothing else.

It's not my idea by the way, though I do think that it's a good idea to have one.

Lump

Boooo, No need.

i never said the simpsons couldnt fit in with the cartoon forum suggestion, i just said i think it would work better on its own. there is alot of possible topics as regards the simpsons, and as i mentioned earlier, by making a cartoon forum you are splitting TV into catagories, rather than just selecting a handful of very popular and talked about shows and giving them their own seperate section.

whether the proposed forum was noticed or not is impossible to say, perhaps it will, perhaps it wont. saying that, if it is made Im sure all simpsons related posts that are in other forums would be re-directed and pretty soon most simpsons fans would know where to go for such topics.

Also, i know alot of threads get recycled, but if it was a general cartoons forum, then it would be abit odd to sticky just the afore mentioned simpsons threads, and not do the same for other cartoons... it would also be a pain to have too many stickies, as you can understand.

Flogen

flogen

can you elaborate Lump?

Flogen

quank

i agree
simpsons needs to be discussed in great detail
and if not...
*puts on batman suit*

TheSonOfBattles

I didn't mean sticky all the usual simpsons threads, sorry if it came off that way, I meant you could sticky something that came up all the time, and was interesting to discuss, if such a thread existed. Myself, I don't think there's really all that much to discuss about simpsons tbh, you'd have your normal fav. episode, fav. quote ones. then you'd be struggling after one month to come up with anything else. Might be right, might be wrong, never know, that's why I think it's best to have it lumped into a more general forum, like it is with tv at the moment.

AngelofFire

i am behind it 100% if star trek can get its own forum why can`t the simpsons. simpsons is much more popular than startrek. i think it will be a huge success

flogen

who knows, maybe it will dry up, but id say there are enough users and fans here to keep up with their favorite suggestions for different items.
then there could be threads about new episodes (what people thought), rumours about the movie (which will go on for some time), even people ideas for what theyd like to see on the new episodes (for example id like to see more political jokes).
then you have your comparison threads, polls relating to various items etc.... or debates about the value of clip shows(which i hate) and the musical episodes. i mean there are thousands of simpsons fansites that have been running for a long time, so why couldnt a forum do the same?
and i dont expect there to be 1000 hits a day or anything, but id expect a steady stream of users.... as angeloffire said, the simpsons is amazingly popular, so why wouldnt it be a success?

Like hell it is


Anyway this forum comes around 10 years to late....The simpons is pure rubbish now and they really should kill it

flogen

lets not get into a debate about which is more popular... firstly it is impossible to gauge and secondly Star trek is different entity (if you will) to simpsons, as it includes films and the like.

The idea that its 10 years to late is untrue. as i said, the show may be through a bad spell at the moment, but there is still about 11 series of really enjoyable stuff, maybe more in some peoples opinions.. i think, given the size of the simpsons universe there is alot to talk about... i wont list suggestions again...

i was joking about the family guy forum.still think there is no need for a seperate forum for each show.

flogen

I see your point about giving too many shows seperate forums, but i think after more than a decade and over 1000 quality shows, countless genius moments and quotes and numerous unforgettable characters a show like The Simpsons deserves one.

Flogen

Just what we need, an entire board full of "Best Homer Quotes" and suchlike threads.

Yea we don't need it because it fits into TV and there are too many boards as it is in my honest opinion. If you get a simpsons board well I want a Sopranos board. Lets be honest, is there enough to talk about Simpsons to justify another board?

Oxygen makes up a significant percentage of the earths atmosphere. It's very important to the continuing existence of life on this planet. It's also used to help patients recover from illness and trauma. Surely the need for an oxygen forum is obvious? It's special enough to not be in a more general forum about air as air is mostly nitrogen, which imho is less important than oxygen.

although oxygen forum would be sweet.

If he gets Oxygen.. Well then I want a Hot Air forum. Hot Air is very popular around here. I would also suggest that not only do we have a simpsons forum, but maybe we should have a sub-forae for each of the characters. I would volunteer my services to moderate the Barney sub-forum. Oh that belch****

He's certainly persistent. This is the fifth forum he's proposed.

I think a Hot Air forum is too generic and talk about Oxygen would be poluted with other elements.

If the Oxygen forum doesn't get created, how about one about tabletennis balls? There are billions of such balls and their uses are not limited to tabletennis. Sure there's not much discussion about them right now but if we build it they will come.

if this should come to pass, then I feel a subsection called ‘Priscilla Queen of the Desert’ is well called for

The mod forum must be a hedonistic paradise all right. I've heard vague rumours of punch, pie, various cake, and atrocious sexual practices going on between the mods incorporating Dev's legendary 'coke and hookers' shenanigans. This must not be allowed to continue.

I propose a new forum "Boards Investigative Trial Committee (Hedonism division)"**

I will be mod naturally

why not a froum request forum

illl mod and will love to shoot down all the forum requests that i feel are not needed.

Ill ban anyone as well who propses more than 1 forum in a ceratin time period at my discretion.

Nice idea but I feel it'd take the fun out of F/S.

Also I've checked and haven't been able to find a forum for insects. Insects are the most common life form on this planet and I can't believe they have no forum to discuss things like:

Best place to hide the Queen.
The best flowers to get pollen from.
Building a better termite colony.
Who is that fucker who keeps stealing our honey?

If so, we also need an Abba forum, to avoid Abba related topics being debated in the PQOTD forum. We also need a gathering card which says "No more f*cking Abba!"

I think you will find that bacteria are actually the most common lifeform. However insects are the most diverse. So once more if you get insects, I want bacteria!!

Where did them gathering cards come from. Are they a Boards.ie invention or what?

Cant wait for regi new idea about forum requests. Mentioned on one of the threads here.

flogen

a simple yes or no would suffice really, and perhaps your reasons why...

A simpsons forum has plenty of potential IMO, and thanks for your suggestions amp and co. but i dont think insect or gas forums would be very popular....

and is this my fifth?? lets see, i can think of 2, maybe 3......
And im not really that desperate to be a mod... it means f*ck all in reality, just thought it would be cool to have a dedicated place to talk about something as popular as the simpsons... if you dont agree then thats fair enough.

Here ya go.

A DVD forum.
A stupid forum idea forum (oh the irony)
A News forum.
An online console games forum.
And now a Simpsons forum.

And im not really that desperate to be a mod... it means f*ck all in reality, just thought it would be cool to have a dedicated place to talk about something as popular as the simpsons... if you dont agree then thats fair enough.

Hey thanks buddy!

Also, I think there should be a forum for the letter "e". It's a really popular letter and almost everybody uses it . There's so many posts containing this important letter that frankly I'm shocked boards doesn't have one already.

Boards is in danger of losing market share if this isn't created. Also how come no Admins have responded to any of my other forum suggestions?

firstly Lump, i said a yes or no would suffice, and perhaps reasons why, you seemed to ignore this part... I was just commenting on the sarcastic suggestions such as an oxygen thread and so on.

ok amp, 5 suggestions it was.... whats your point? my online gaming forum was, as you know, not a way for me to become a mod as it was supposed to be a re-jig of existing forums and not a completely new forum
The other four were suggestions, which i thought were valid enough (although i do now see the pointlessness to the forum suggestions forum). each of my suggestions were met, generally, with fair reasons why not to have such a forum. Your comments have just been idiotic. either you think its a good idea or you dont, thats why I started this thread, to see what kind of support there was for such an idea.

As for telling you what to say, well, maybe someone should, that way you wont make such an ass of yourself so often.

You seem to ignore the fact that people will express themselves the way they want to. You can't make people give a yes and no answer even if you do suggest it. Also the arrogant way in which you post does your crusade to become a moderator (which I hope to the sweet lord jebus never happens) any good whatsoever.

ok amp, 5 suggestions it was.... whats your point?

My point is simple and it's this: I'm sick of people suggesting forums when there is no clear need for them, when there's no demand for them other than when one power hungry poster thinks he's discovered his ticket into the mod board.

my online gaming forum was, as you know, not a way for me to become a mod as it was supposed to be a re-jig of existing forums and not a completely new forum

I didn't make that connection. I have since of course as it's now obvious to me that lafortezza is correct. Yet you direct your vitriol against me? Why?

The other four were suggestions, which i thought were valid enough (although i do now see the pointlessness to the forum suggestions forum). each of my suggestions were met, generally, with fair reasons why not to have such a forum. Your comments have just been idiotic.

Can you not see the barely hidden message? Ok, I don't usually do this but seeing as you can't seem to comphrehend it properly I'll make it simple for you:

I used your argument about the Simpsons popularity and thought of other things that were popular as examples of why, just because something is popular, doesn't mean it needs a forum. I have to admit being a little carried away, but I do so love a running joke.

either you think its a good idea or you dont, thats why I started this thread, to see what kind of support there was for such an idea.

But when Lump said "Boo, no need" you asked him to elaborate? That doesn't seem to tie in with your request that people state that it's either a good idea or not. You didn't ask the people who were in favour of it to elaborate. That's puzzling.

As for telling you what to say, well, maybe someone should, that way you wont make such an ass of yourself so often.

While I'm deeply concerned that you think I'm making an ass of myself... I say concerned, what I meant to say was that I'm interested. Well more apathetic really. Sort of happy. In fact what I meant to say was I'm absolutely overjoyed that you think I'm an ass.

\o/ Go me! \o/

P.s. Read this. At least if you know the actual name of the thing you propose to create is called then you might, well, dare I say it, make less of an ass of yourself?

flogen

you seem to have mis-read my post, i said that a yes or no (with elaboration) would suffice, i did not demand it. I think its abit pointless to just post sarcastic comments when you could have just said 'no, bad idea, not needed' or something to that effect.

Im sorry that your sick of countless suggestions, but there is only one way to see if an idea would have enough support, and thats by putting on this forum. I may think a certain aspect of life (or whatever) has alot of potential, but it may turn out Im the only one to think that. At least Id know for sure.

As I said, Im not all that desperate to be a mod, as much as you may wish and hope and pray.... and Im sorry if you feel like your being picked on... I truely am sorry if it seems that way, I am talking about anyone who, rather can giving some kind of constructive comments, good or bad, just post something pointless.

yes, i did see what you were getting at there, well done sport, good job. The thing is, Oxygen is not as much popular as it is necissary, and although some find insects very interesting, I dont think they have as broad an appeal as something like The Simpsons... just a hunch on that one... dont quote me on it or anything. I also doubt there is as much to talk about as regards Prisilla Queen of the Desert or The Sopranos.... but prove me wrong, please.

Why didnt I ask supporters to elaborate?? well firstly most of them gave a reason for their support. But mainly, if you support it, you do so because you like the idea. If you oppose it, there could be numerous reasons why. I was just wondering what they might be, see if they could be discussed or pointed out to me so I would see the point and accept it.

And Im glad your glad that i think your an ass... it makes me happy to think your happy, for whatever reason that may be.
and thanks for the BOARDS 101 class, but am I not suggesting a Forum? is that the wrong term?
