Off topic forum

[Kodos84]

I got a wild idea. You guys should have like an off-topic "general" forum to talk about commercials and whatever. Or for those poll things. It's just an interesting thought i had.

As in, like.. "Hey, did you see that one commercial with the hot guy? Wasn't he HOT??"
That'd be my contribution anyway..

Why not just put in a chat already!?

Certainly possible for an "General Discussion" forum category. Are there any other forum topic suggestions?

And an in-page chat feature isn't feasible... They're too hard on the server resources, people don't use them, and many people can't access them (via Java, or whatever).

oOo, cool.
um... i don't know what other kind of forum you could have. That chat sound good except theres only like 2 or 3 ppl online when i'm here, and sometimes even none .

Well, I would suggest:
General discussion
Who's that person - like when there's someone in an ad that you want to know more about, post the question and see if anyone can come up with the actor's/actress's name or bio or whatever
Ads we hate - where anyone can bitch about the most annoying commercials (assuming this won't step on any toes)
Ads we love - the favorite ads, based on music, product, whatever
How did they do that? - where maybe we can get some computer experts to de-mystify some of the special effects in the commercials
Retro commercials - to discuss the classic oldies like Bonkers candy commercials, and Fruit Island Cereal, and all the super fun jingles from days of yore ("Show em you're a tiger, show em what you can do, the taste of Tony's frosted flakes brings out the tiger in you!")
I don't know.. just some ideas. I get yacky when I'm tired, so sorry bout the 10 page post..

hmmm... those are some cool forums Melissa
especially the ads we hate and ads we love. In fact, it just gave me a good idea for a poll. I'm off to make it now...
