New "OT" Forum?
 Mon Apr 30, 2001 7:49 pm

I'm considering creating an "OT" (off topic) forum for threads that often wind up here, but really don't quite fall under the category of "Chemtrail and Related".
Some examples of threads that would be moved to the new forum would probably include those like the "Antarctica" and "Neu Schwabenland", etc. and could be a home for other interesting topics as well.
I'm interested if anybody has feedback about this new forum and what criteria might be used for determining what topics are beyond the scope of the "Chemtrail and Related" forum.

My two cents: I think the reason so many of us fled the Carnicom board is that we think the Antarctica, et cetera, stuff is actually "on topic."
We've spent months discussing what, when, where and how. I've taken chemtrail photos until I'm sick of them. I've clogged a whole section of my hard drive with other people's chemtrail photos. I'm finally at the point that I'm worried when they *don't* spray.
In the absence of fresh data, I think we're now trying to get at the who and the why. We seem to have taken a detour into wacko conspiracy theories at this point, but if nsasucks is shoveling us a load of BS, we'll figure that out eventually.
As usual, I'm often wrong, so what does everybody else think?

I'm new here but it seems to me that the strict OT guidelines at Carnicom brought many of us here. 3T3's point is well taken, those topics that first appear to be OT or way in left field often wind their way back around to why we are all on these boards in the first place...CTs and all that they imply. For me I think if a thread isn't desirable to the group it will die a quick and merciful death in the normal course of our actions or lack thereof. |

Point taken 3T3L1...
I'm not trying to deny some's vision of a bigger picture with Chemtrails being a part of a puzzle...just wondering if a bit more organization would be appreciated.
Some benefits of a new forum would be:
1. No need for people to put O/T in their topic name...
2. Those interested in Chemtrails, but not all conspiracy theory topics and other topics wouldn't need to mentally filter.
3. Creates a legitimate home for all "OT" discussions, so people can feel more free to explore these areas.
4. No issues of people becoming concerned about others bumping non-Chemtrail threads
3T3, I curious how Antartica is considered "on topic" to "Chemtrails and Related"...  ? |

Hi Thermit, from my point of view, some of the topics that may seem OT are aimed at showing the levels of secrecy used by 'TPTB'/government/aliens that would probably also relate to secrecy about chemtrails. To get at the truth we need to show how we are being kept in the dark about a number of other subjects. It would seem logical that if we uncover other secrets, 'trails' would lead back to the origins of chemtrails.
I agree with everyone elses point too. For hardcore scientist-types that won't believe anything they can't prove themselves, I guess I can understand their frustration and a need for separation of topics also in light of a major difference in perceptions of 'the way things are' between members.
Political/religious arguments often get disruptive, so I don't know what I'd do as a moderator, guess I'd ask for suggestions too. You can't please everyone, so whatever you do is fine with me. I appreciate your efforts to be fair to everyone.

I'll bite! Because nsasucks alleges that there are no chemtrails over Antarctica?
I use alleges because I just found out that maps of Antarctica practically don't exist on the web. Why is that? And if there really are no chemtrails over Antarctica, why is that? This might prove to be a dead end, but the dog that didn't bark is sometimes a legitimate clue.
Back to you, Thermit... |

FLKook, like I mentioned I'm not wanting to kill the OT discussions, quite the opposite, I would like to give them a legit home...

Thanks for the comments so far...
In addition to your suggestions and comments, we'll take a vote too...
A.
Keep everything the same, except "Chemtrail and Related" becomes "Chemtrails and More".
-or-
B.
Create additional "Everything Else" forum for other conspiracy and off-topic discussions.
Unless y'all say otherwise, 3T3 and FLKook, I'm assuming you're vote goes for A...

Yes, I would vote for "A."
It seems as if board participants choose topic #1, whatever it is, to write their current musings. If somebody new would like hardcore data, they can go to Chemtrail Stories or News or Health. Maybe you could just add a label to Chemtrail and Related which directs new readers to those topics?
Nice wav file, Cy. I'll see your 1,333,195,666 edits and raise you to...

Zounds! Didn't mean to start a storm of whatever...sorry...but I am for a seperate header if that will keep people from using that OT as a weapon to disparage good data. The truth is, most people (and I am guilty of this) only come to this section. They might/would miss some heavy stuff that is happening right now...like the Streiber intel. I mean...who knew about that guy? I didn't until I started digging. He should've kept his mouth shut, but he didn't (agency should know by now when to hold 'em, fold 'em and stand) and now all his denials are being analyzed with his own earlier statements made to the press and he is at cross-purposes with HIMSELF. Dang!
The more I dig...the more I realize he has been agency from out of the box...and again, that verifies for you all...what we are saying about all this Mkid stuff and hypnosis...remember it was Streiber's movie COMMUNION that first started me on the road to freedom, and I'm sure all Unintential by the shop and Streiber. meant as a cover, it actually blew mem caps.
And now he is busted with his own data from his own books, public statements and interviews. And that's their problem - LIARS CAN NEVER KEEP THEIR LIES STRAIGHT. They contradict themselves.
THank God for this board...this would have never come out otherwise and everyone here knows it. So you DAs out there...go ahead...keep calling me aliar and whatever else you can think up cuz all you are doing - by drawing first blood - is making me prove my point and exposing you. Think things through from now on and show some intelligence. You can do it!
Regards sections - whatever you think is right is right by me. So, I guess i am voting for B, but hopefully people will go there to get the goods. |

Thermit,
I think it would be a good idea to have a separate forum for "related" topics. When I directed a friend to the carnicom board, I suggested that she read the message board backwards from page 20, due to the fact that the first few pages had gotten so interesting. My suggestion:
1. Create a new forum named "Related Topics".
2. Rename Chemtrails and Related "Chemtrails" and maybe underneath put scientific data, news, etc., and let that be the hard evidence forum.
3. Maybe rename Chemtrail Stories "Chemtrail Observations".
Of course, I like it the way it is now, and whatever you choose will be great I'm sure!
I appreciate everything you are doing!

I love that little winking guy---I think I'll just use him from now on----oh oh I'm OT---
Yeah, I vote for plan "B"---that way we can loosen up a little and get to know each other---or is that a little too OT?

Thermit; your alright giving us the "vote"; I like the idea of leaving CT and related alone and starting a thread for CT Scientific Data. Guess I'm voting A with a splash of B....sorry, I was a trouble maker in school.
BTW, since when is YOUR board a democracy. You decide, we'll live with it. Much friendlier than Carnicom...what are we going to do? Move back there? Migrate somewhere else? You've adopted us bro. (too busy for smiles and cool wav files...insert your favorites here) |
