Would there be any interest in a 'celebrities' forum?

Y'know, to laugh at and/or make fun of celebrities and socialites?

Isn't that what the NWS forum is for?

Post by **Sylvus** » December 15, 2005, 1:11 pm

I'd be happy to add a celebrities forum if you can train people to start posting threads in the appropriate forums.

Where would Richard Pryor's death thread go? CE, GD, or celebrities? What about Eddie Guerrero's? CE, GD, movies/dvd/tv, sports, celebrities? I don't care about anyone's arguments that we don't need more forums, that's a silly argument as they can avoid the forum if they don't want it. I do care about too many cross-posts and double posts though, as I try to read about all the threads so that my secret police can appropriately silence the dissenters.

Oh shit, I've said too much...

I'm amused by the media's fascination with people who absolutely no talent... people like Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Tara Ried or Kevin Federline.

And the pappariazi hounding B/C/D list actors just waiting for them to do stupid shit and embarrass themselves. It's like watching a train wreck as it happens... except nobody dies.

one thing i will never understand is how or why people indulge in celebrity gossip, how insignificant do the events in ones life have to be that they concern themselves over if two people they will never meet are sleeping with, breaking up or cheating on eachother

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » December 15, 2005, 1:29 pm

No. We have too many forums already.

Leonaerd · Post by **Leonaerd** » December 15, 2005, 1:32 pm

More forums are fine by me, as long as it doesn't get to the point where people are double-posting like it's their paid job. Let's make a Dance Dance Revolution forum and make me the mod!

OK, we can just get rid of the Modding and Emulation forums.
I think there's been like 1 on-topic thread posted on those forums in the past 6 months.

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » December 15, 2005, 1:35 pm

Whatever. The point remains. General and Current Events more than covers it.

Posts about Circus Midgets and Rangers are acceptable in the Comics Forum.

If you're looking to trim the fat, Modding, Emulation, Imaging, and the EQ2 forums are good places to start.

I agree on EQ2. To add to the list:

BT
Vanguard - Saga of Heroes
Buying / Selling - Everquest
Adventures in Reading
Helpful Links

Oh, and City of Heores / City of Villians once the interest in CoV dies down in a month.

it was given away a while back when someone posted a picture of a desktop theme I think

Well you're not missing anything. There's been like.. 1 post in it this year.

For news about people you don't really care about, try http://www.perezhilton.com/. The comments are NWS sometimes, though.

Sueven · Post by **Sueven** » December 15, 2005, 9:52 pm

I would scroll through it once a month or so to see if anyone had posted any naked pictures.

Oh wait, I already do that in NWS.

I don't think I'd use it.

I think the Movies/Current Events/NWS can cover the various church of celebrity news.

Whether you said it to piss me off, or you're just a clueless retard, I agree with everything you said excluding Vanguard (surprise!). Good job, you accomplished your goal.

Considering the forum is likely to only get more popular as time goes on, and knowing that Vanguard is the next 'big' MMO that people (including VV users) will migrate to (talk to any of the big MMO guild leaders), the forum has no reason to be diminished. That being said, DDO may itself deserve a forum too, even though I won't be playing it, I'm sure some people here will (Sylvos and friends). Or, it may not. Who knows. Either way, Vanguard and DDO are the only MMO's of early/mid 2006 that will go anywhere and maintain a strong player base.

Now, this is the part where people claim I'm all whiney and a fanboi. Don't bother, I don't care.

rename Movie/DVD/TV to Entertainment. the forum would still cover movies, dvd and tv since they are all forms of entertainment but could also include celebrity threads and poker!

I am going to make a post about poker in the general forum just to mock you BRAD GARRETT.

Post by **Sylvus** » December 16, 2005, 7:13 pm

God, I saw Brad Garrett on one of those celebrity poker things last year or so, and fuck if that guy isn't the most annoyingly unfunny person I've ever had the displeasure of observing. He kept making cracks like he was the funniest guy around and he sucked so badly.

I really wish he'd swallow a knife.

Tyek · Post by **Tyek** » December 16, 2005, 7:42 pm

I don't think you need to add another forum, although I would like to add that I met Franco Harris and Lydell Mitchell this week in Vegas.

GO STEELERS!

miir · Post by **miir** » December 16, 2005, 7:49 pm

Wow, 11 people would be interested?
I guess that means a celebrities forum would see more traffic than the Vanguard forum.

Spang · Post by **Spang** » December 16, 2005, 7:57 pm

professional poker players are considered entertainers.

So does that mean they are exempt from random drug testing? Still a little unclear on that.

ill even push that a step further and say fuck everyone loves raymond.

brat garrett isn't supposed to be funny. he is a straight man. that's why he was so funny in ELR.

some friends of ours had tickets to see him do stand up last week and wanted us to go with them. I thought no, because he just isn't a very funny person.

Yeah it's a great idea, it will allow us all the fantastic opportunity to further detach our conscious minds from the every day banality of government spying, murderous regimes we actively support, huge conglomerates fucking us over and being financially and creatively dicked for all our live long days by having insightful life affirming true and meaningful discussions on how fucking thin Nicole Ritchie has got.

Jesus fucking christ.

I'll think you'll find he has very little interest in your domestic policy, so therefore someone who doesn't "live in the country" is the perfect person to complain about it. Sheesh.

Perhaps a comparable sentiment would help you out: "It's only gay if you're catching" ~ some EQ2 jackass.

The things you read on global game channels.. I tell you, it's outrageous.
