Recently its got a bit narrower in the topics posted and the man, some peoples shtick is getting formulaic.


So is it worth inviting people, or better to accept for some of us it's no longer the place it was, not that there are any greener pastures out there.



You've said it yourself: formulaic.  And it's not 'some people' - it's everyone who's been here long enough.  We don't even pretend to be in earnest - we just go with the (portrayed) flow.

Why do you even give a shit about the well-being of this place?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Between the racist shtick, the outright hostility and the occasional Siegy attack I can't imagine anyone new would stay. Which is kind of a problem.

Not to mention all the lawyers and Canadians. :x

Almost all my friends are Canadians now, they just keep coming. :weep:

We could invite some people, be on our best behavior for a month, and then BAM! we're back to normal. :)

Actually, this could have more to do with the fact that Canadians are probably too polite to tell you how they really feel about you.

Can't we cruise the internet looking for vulnerable boards that are about to have an exodus and cunningly lure the exiles to Languish?

If we can get a bunch of new folks at the same time the board dynamics may be revitalized.

Sorry, some of us have real jobs.

Would new people be good? Yes.
But as said....getting new people is hard. The place isn't too attractive, its just a generic internet forum really, and we're very cliquey.

Just posts on other boards with links to languish in your sigs.

I've always thought that Languish is a bit like that movie Highlander; in the end there will be only one left standing and he will be immensely powerful  :huh:

Fuck bringing in new people and their funny foreign ways.  Fuck them all.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

And then there'll be a needless sequel where it turns out we're all weird alien people?

I've been thinking most of you are aliens for years.  In some cases illegal aliens, but still.
PDH!
