As the day approaches when the "Offtopic" forum surpasses the "Wallpaper" forum in number of active threads there are a number of things that will need to change around here

Namely, but not limited to:

`·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.·`·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.·`·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.·`·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.·

How, and where, we introduce the site to others ... (for example) .. "Hey, Englebert, have you heard about Caedes dot net .. the offtopic site with a difference .. (wink wink nudge nudge .. say no more)"

How we vote, comment, and rate a fellow Caedesian's word game ... "You daft twit .. that acronym \ favorite movie \ political satire .. makes no sense whatsoever"

How, and where, we proudly wear our T-Shirts ... "Oh, that's a Caedes 2005 shirt .. I can't wear that to the coffeehouse .. I gotta have a 2006 somewhere .. No? .. guess I'll have to get coffee at the museum ... MOM!!!"

How, and when, we break out the Caedes Card deck ... "Not yet dear, wait till the kids go to bed before we play Crazy Eights .. This isn't last years deck"

How, and where, we choose a house ... "Forests? Lakes? Mountains? .. I have no use for these .. I need academia, libraries, concrete ... If YOU can't handle this I'll get a real estate agent that can."

How, and where, we apply for new employment ... "I see that you're applying for a management position .. but, yet, on the 'Internet sites frequented' form you failed to list Caedes dot net .. perhaps you'd be happier, down the street, at Flippys Hamburger Shack .. it may not be a manager position .. but they're hiring and you meet the qualifications"

`·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.·`·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.·`·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.·`·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.·

ask yourselves .. do you want people to tremble when you are near due to your ability to choose the top five money making movies ... or ... for your ability create an image that repulses some and inspires others

I have seen the Caedes dot net T-Shirt for 2006 ... and it's just a big jumble of letters .. Like God's acronym game that he's having trouble solving without using elephant or xylophone for the umpteenth time

"Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment.

Ok, I have given the subject matter some serious thought and here is my top 5 Offtopic discussion threads:

5) Well, of course ... this one.
4) TPBM.
Ahh, to be young and foolish and waste time again in a nonsensical and fun way ... perchance to dream.
3) What R U eating Right Now?
Sad ... so sad. So many off-colour jokes and no where to put them. That and it amazes me that we have an abundance of this food source called 'air,' and millions go hungry. What kind of world do we live in?
2) What's hitting your ears right now?
Audiophiles don't go away, they just wait for their vinyl collection to appreciate.

And the number one thread goes to ... *drumroll and rimshot* ...
1) "Things I never told my parents."
