ans Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Do we need to do anything about Jokes in General Chat? I have no real opinion on it, but I figured other people might want a change? I see three options. Feel free to suggest others. No guarantees that the winning option will be implemented as Unisol shouts at me when I change his sections, but if there's an overwhelming case for change, it should be ok.

bubblybaby Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Need a jokes section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Don't forget that having them in their own section (or a joint one with Internet Links) would probably see an increase in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germann Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Need a jokes section. But we don't need a 'fw:fw:fw:fw:fw:FUNNY' section of the same unfunny email that everyone gets from their very own Mr. Office Party Animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScope Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I voted for a new section. I think it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyrose Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 i voted new section........ keeps them in one place then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 The way the votes are going may indicate that I didn't explain the third one properly. What I meant was, we already have an Internet's Finest Hour with funny links and videos. I was suggesting we rename that section to 'Comedy' or something and ask that all jokes, funny links etc be posted into there. If anyone wants to change their vote, please PM me and I'll manually adjust the poll counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 But not all internet's finest are jokes. What about the IQ test as an example off the top of my head. New section, seperate from this & internet's finest. Used to like the jokes section of wanx.net, could while away an hour or so looking through them all.

ans Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yes, point taken. I just know Unisol is keen not to have any more new sections. We may have to look at losing one or combining a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I went for a new section ... I've posted links about nuclear bomb explosions etc in the Internet section ... I definitely don't think that should be put into a comedy section. The internet is a huge fascinating thing, just because most of what we find on it is amusing, doesn't mean all of it will be. The internet's finest hour is exactly what it says it is ... a place where unusual and interesting sites can be highlighted ... its separate from a comedy section.

Gladys Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yes, agree with DLBY, its much funnnier looking at a thread that may be serious to find it's a joke! If you hide it away under the Internet's Finest, I, for one, will only read it a few times a week, and will probably miss the best jokes. Just let it happen on General Chat!

2orangey4crows Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I voted to leave jokes in general chat, I don't think I would bother reading a whole section of jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 General chat is definitely the right place. Deliberate spoofs and wind ups wouldn't work if they were categorized as 'jokes' or 'comedy' or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Deliberate spoofs can still be put in general chat. With a seperate jokes section far more would get posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
