Quick question... If one was interested in furthering an intellectual debate, where would I turn to?

Thanks in advance

This forum has the most intellectually stimulating discussions on the internet.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I'm not sure that many exist, and wouldn't know how to find them. The backroom is pretty decent, but being on a strategy game fan site is a bit random.

Very many thanks for spending a glimpse of your time and intellect to help me.


Sasaki Kojiro, For any scandinavian speaker there is Flashback Forum...

Are you not sure many forums like this exist? Havent logged on much since '95?

I am pretty sure that there are quite soem forums like this on the internet...

I could share Utopias, but that game died, and so did its political forum :(

You must understand, I didnt ask this here in the hope of there being a forum... I did it because I know we have many great minds here, and some of them are bound to have some good links to further a debate. I could spend 10 years looking around for forums, or we (could all) have a 10ish or so year experience of the people who choose to come here. Afterall, if they keep coming here, there is likely something about the other forums they visit that I would like :)

I'm all about The Pony, sucka.

Jesus. 44838 threads and 787062 posts just in one subforum about My Little Ponies. What could they be talking about?


Anyway, the only other forums I look at regularly are bimmerpost and the Axis History Forum, both of which have off topic areas for political discussions which I avoid, as they are pretty weak compared to the level of discourse at the .org. Pretty much every forum has an off topic section where people bicker over politics, but I've never come across one with as much depth as the backroom. Maybe forums specifically dedicated to politics are better, but I've never visited one.

I know that http://www.principiadiscordia.com/ used to be twice or three times the size, around 5 years ago. Looks like it has shrunk a lot since then.

But I have an active dislike for forums which are too big. On the otherhand, the forum is nice, small and cozy.

[Rhyfelwyr]

I've tried looking for such a site as well, but never really found anything. Either they tend to be too specialised, or not active enough, or not of such a quality as here.

Me too!

Me, I'm Amy, twelve years old, from Kansas. I'm chatting up your daughters RIGHT NOW.

That pony forum was quite funny, I liked this in the banned members section

fizzy_rainbowfriend was banned today. She is a well known troll. She impersonates members and moderators of this site and others. She likes to email but mostly sends IM. She swears and makes physical threats. She lives in Pennysylvania and goes by different versions of the above name. She also says her favorite ponies are Fizzy, Firefly and likes Megan.

She may be a troll that makes physical threats but also her favourites are fizzy, firefly and megan!

I haven't looked about all that much only been to the off topic section of twc as well, don't think I have even looked anywhere else, comments sections of different papers mainly...

You have no idea how gleeful that makes me feel.

Why so?

[Centurion1]

And by the way we need something to unite the frontroom again its been gettiing disive, that may be it!

[Lemur]

That's where the pony law gets laid down, mutha. Like this: "DeathSentencePony was not allowed to register today." Or this: "We have banned a member called 'TheDC' who is from Brazil. We received information that this person is interested in our younger members, in a very unhealthy way."

[PanzerJaeger]

Banned filthypony today for check fraud. Her email is a bit odd too. It begins with filthyblackhuskie. What does that mean?

Hah. Filthypony.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

As opposed to a "normal" site dedicated to conquering the world one well pixellated fantasy battle at a time?

[Rhyfelwyr]

We should all make accounts on that pony forum, and then post all kinds of crazy Backroom topics. I think they organised something like that over at the TWC once...

That is called a forum war.

[Jolt]

I have plenty of fun at the Off-Topic sub-forum in Paradox Interactive's forums. It is awesome there.

[Rhyfelwyr]

That is called a forum war.

Can you imagine if the warriors of totalwar.org were defeated by the mylittlepony community.

[Kadagar_AV]

That's it, I'm game...

Why dont we maek a group and sign up? Have some fun in the off-topic? We must however remember to be EXTREMLY PG13, like, Banquos Ghost gone born again christian on speed...


Other gems:

Chief denied someone membership tonight. This name was a no go.

rose_massacre_666

Gee, did they think that name would be ok? lol

And the best thread I have found so far: LINK

Basicly, a girl complaining she gets bullied on da netz cause... wait for it.... wait for it... She likes marilyn manson AND twilight... Someone had the NERVE to inform her that she was one of those brainless goths who would follow any trend that marilyn manson himself hates.

The community of course rally behind her, and there are just soooooo many group hugs going on. STAY TUNED!!

And if we do forum war, I want it noted from THIS POINT that I claim the name "Edward_the_Pony"... Ya know, getting the best from twilight AND my little pony...

Only too easily, my friend, only too easily. Them MLP chicks would roll us up like a carpet.

As long as we're all entranced by the My Little Pony forum subculture, I'm increasingly thinking this internet classic wasn't a photoshop job: (warning, contains some profanity)

So I guess I got kicked off another my little pony forum

Favorite line: "I don't know where you get your facts. The first generation of MLP's were made by Hasbro, not the Khmer Rouge."

Another classic:

"Specifically we don't use swear words here, and your picture of Stalin riding a Year3 Limited Edition Starflower inside a German concentration camp was both upsetting and historically inaccurate."

Lemur, you left off the best bit from your quote. "And Hasbro hasn't made toys out of human skulls since the 1960's."

[Centurion1]

Gentlemen they would devour us by pure numbers there are people with 47000 posts. I beseech you do not seek war we will be overrun and our peoples displaced.

We must ally with similar websites before we have a chance. My little pony is a terrible threat if provoked



Ahem anyway...... seamus yes its completely normal grown women posting about their awesome mlp's is not normal

[Louis VI the Fat]

"Specifically we don't use swear words here, and your picture of Stalin riding a Year3 Limited Edition Starflower inside a German concentration camp was both upsetting and historically inaccurate."

This the greatst single sentence I've ever read on the internet.


I should post a laughing smiley, but it transcends that. I can only bow in reverence.

[Beskar]

I want to see this avatar of Stalin riding a year3 limited edition starflower in a concentration camp.

Reading the MLP thread on the death of Ronnie James Dio was surreal, to say the least. The avatars and siggies are just, wow.

I would pay good money to see 4chan vs MLP.

[Andres]

How did this thread go from

If one was interested in furthering an intellectual debate, where would I turn to?

to the "My Little Pony Arena"?

Google knows all: “Stalin my little pony” (images).
It looks like the original picture was: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2332184...75827/sizes/o/ (warning: depending on your line of work it may not be quite safe)
It's even been made a demotivator: https://i25.tinypic.com/anc80l.jpg

I've cried from laughing.
