I will give $100 donation to DU if they close up "the Dungeon"

[Bonobo]

or at least take serious threads out of it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Don't hold your breath!

I do not see that happening ever.

I don't think Skinner takes bribes, anyway...

:P

[Why Syzygy]

2. You are free to excuse yourself from the dungeon.

:popcorn:

[mike_c]

3. which dungeon...?

There are several.

[jkshaw]

4. What's The Dungeon?

[TCJ70]

8. 9/11 forum...

[Canuckistanian]

12. There are actually three

September 11
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=125

Guns
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=118

and Israel/Palestine
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=124

Any controversial posts dealing with any of these subjects get sent straight to these forums (fora?), never to see the light of day or a Greatest thread.

It's a cross we all bear.

15. Guns is the "Gungeon"

:D

[phasma ex machina]

24. Thanks for sharing. The lulz is strong in the dungeon. ROTFLMAO. nt

[Canuckistanian]

5. That's a safe winning bet

The dungeon is in no danger of closing down. Or should I say NONE of the dungeons, including 9/11, Guns and I/P.

It's what keeps this place from being a COMPLETE madhouse instead of the normal 90% madhouse that is is.

9. What's the I/P dungeon?

[TCJ70]

11. Israel/Palestine n/t

[ddeclue]

14. Oh,..duh! of COURSE... why didn't I guess that?

[SKKY]

6. Yea, what's "the Dungeon"?

[ddeclue]

7. To the dungeon with this thread...

:rofl:

[blogslut]

10. Take $5 of that and donate it in my name please?

I am that poor since I had to take a third pay cut. I wish I could donate to this drive. :(

[Make7]

13. You don't think people should have serious discussions in the 9/11 forum? ( n/t )

[MrMickeysMom]

16. There you go, Make7...

It's not like it doesn't happen. Some people actually can behave like adults there.

Thank goodness Skinner doesn't take bribes!

17. I just wish there was a way for individuals to block forums from the Latest page.

I don't want to shut anyone up, but I hate seeing the Gun Forum posts on my Latest page. It's not that I don't care or think it's an important issue, but I had heard every argument on the subject by sometime around 1983. I don't need more "Dad shoots kid thinking she's intruder" versus "Mom shoots rapist/murderer/burglar to save kids" headline debates to clear it up for me.

I got to where I just "Ignored" anyone who started a thread in the Gun Forum, just to keep them off my page.

[AndyA]

18. Agreed. Gun forum should be an opt-in forum, and off the other pages

unless you've subscribed to it.

I think this has been asked before, but I guess it never got anywhere. :shrug:

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

22. So you want to make special rules for one specific group? Interesting.

[Chemisse]

19. Indeed. The battles of the gun threads are pretty annoying. - nt

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

21. As if it's impossible to just not pay attention to them.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

20. Do you mean the gungeon? It's one of the most popular forums here.

[spin]

23. While not a Big Forum, it is cone of the most popular topic forums...

25. It doesn't sound like a place

I'd want to go, so I don't go there.

Is there a problem with that?
