Just trying to get people to be more creative with their topics...but I guess there aren't enough people who grew up in the 70s.


I've come across many threads and forums that I haven't found particularly interesting, yet the thought of presumptuously informing the board of this fact in order to "get people to be more creative with their topics" has never occurred to me.

So start a thread on it
kinda busy at work today, i might do something about politics and movies on my cry of the penguins board. but i'm still behind on my soundbite quiz!

your point being... ???

That telling everyone you don't like the forum is a little presumptuous. Who cares if you don't like the '70s forum? Do you think this thread is more interesting than the ones you're complaining about? Most people simply contribute one or two threads that do interest them, or they move along to another forum.

Should we start up a few "Decadeology" type threads in here then?


NO THANKS!  ;D

The other boards are clogged up with nothing but "Decadeology" threads - it's to the point that you don't discuss what actually happened in the decade itself anymore!

Maybe if more people started threads that dealt with issues other than music, this board might be a little more well-rounded.  I just started a thread that I think could get some good replies and some good coversation.

Let me ask you this:  What did you hope to accomplish from starting a thread saying why you think this particular board sucks?  This board is more than just a thread where people post what 70s song they're listening to at the moment.  If you think something's lacking.....start some threads. 

This whole thread seems like a non-issue, to be honest.


Maybe it's because there are some things he may not be able to relate to directly with the '70s. I once made a thread asking why Donnie Darko never discusses the '70s or focuses on that heavily, and he just said, (I believe) that he just doesn't have an interest in it at the moment.

Who knows..

I can't relate directly to the 70s because I was born in 82, but I can talk about the decade and discuss what happened during the decade.  There's plenty of people here who remember the 70s very well, so start a thread and hope that people from all ages can come in and post what they know.

Of course I was born 16 years too late for the 70s, but I am absolutely fanatical about it. The whole look, the feel, the 'vibe' - it's probably no secret I'd probably go back in time 35 years if I could. I know alot of people my age who hold an equal fascination for the 70s.

Hi Sis M.!
I'm just wondering what you mean by "There's plenty of people here who remember the 70's very well".  How can people "from all ages" and, that haven't lived the 1970's, and again as you say, "Remember" the the 70's very well"?
This is not an attack on your post; I just wish to understand a bit better. Please explain further, Sister Morphine.
Thank you

What part of it didnt make sense to you ? She was simply saying that a lot of board members were around in the 70s and that we are "of all ages" and yes many of us were born before the 70s and therefor remember the 70s well.

There seems to be an assumption by those under 25 that they are the only members on forums and message boards. I encounter this here as well as many other forums out there in the world wide web.

This forum has a huge population and an extremely varied age group.

As for Trimac announcing his dislike for a forum. I find that rather self serving, presumptuous and childish. If you dont like a forum or the topics posted by its members - go build one yourself somewhere else. This is Chucky's board not yours.

I've been here since February 2005, so I think I have a very good idea of the history of the decades boards.

What an old timer - not ! There are people who have been posting here for 6 years or more.

Never mistake a post count for maturity or time spent somewhere.

The name's Beth.


And further more, you don't have to have lived through the 70s in order to talk about it.  If you had bothered to actually read the post I made, you would have seen that I said that no matter what age you are or what decades you lived through, there are bound to be some aspects of the 70s everyone can talk about.  Sports, music, movies, clothes, TV, politics, etc.  So I asked the person to start a thread and let people just discuss.  No one holds a monopoly on information about any one thing.

I love the 70's board!
I pop in here to discuss the exact thing you think we shouldn't
I want to talk about the toys, the music, the movies and the feeling that surrounded growing up in the 70's
I was born in 1962 and the late 60's and the 70"s were my childhood and teenage years
Very happy memories.

If I want to discuss deep topics as how the gas crisis affected the 70's or the Vietnam war or Wategate I'll go to the P&R forum
But hey, feel free to start any thread you feel you'd like to discuss.
