How important is the forum to E-I?

[Alec Horan]

I consider the forum to be a pretty trivial bit of fun, were it of any great importance then we would have proper mods and not the current crop of clowns.

Of course there are too many jabbering bufoons on it but that is because they dont have any real life per se or friends. Sometimes however, perhaps once a month there is a remotely witty or thoughtful thread, of course these are usually banned as they only raise the level above the cesspit of navel gazing and attention seeking we usually get ...............but it can be worth it.

it is also liberating to act/speak in a manner not generally acceptable in civilised society. sometimes you need a bit of anonymity to vent ones spleen.
