Has anybody else noticed the lack of substance in this forum lately? I mean, if we're not talking about Bowmann, we're talking about how we don't want to be talking about Bowmann. Then, of course we have to make a new thread about not not talking about Bowmann, and then of course we start talking about Bowmann once again and spark up the whole thing over again, until it spins out of control like some sort of cosmic vortex of doom.

And if we're not addressing the Bowmann Factor (as I've decided to start calling it), then we're reading posts about BIG CATS and LEOPARDS and LIONS and TIGERS, while we frantically search for a post thread that will spark our interest just enough to keep us from hacking off our limbs.

Every now and then, we get a random post that resembles something like this: "Hi, my nam is rikku and I like staples. play me in chess coz you're funny."

Lame.

To be honest, I don't think I've been a member of RHP long enough to be able to say "Back in MY day, the General Forum was a great place to post! We were all friends, and it was wonderful times." However, I can say that I've noticed a slight decline in the overall vibe of the General Forum, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one?

You'll notice that there was even a thread back then about BIG CATS. I guess they're everywhere. It's useless to resist.

I guess there's nothing left to do, but to discuss what kind of BIG CAT Bowmann has.



Sigh.

OMG I forgot about Duct Tape! Cripes!

Ok, ok. So we'll start a thread about BIG CATS who use Duct Tape on Bowmann. That should sum up the whole forum, pretty well.

So do you think this is a case of:

1. Great minds think alike; or

2. Simple minds seldom differ.

?

I know which one my ego likes.
