What kind of message board should VV aspire to become?

[kazyeeqen]

I choose the 'something else' option because it sounded so exciting.

 

[beancounter]

yes it depends what it is a percentage of.
I think it is a percentage of the people who voted.

Ok, I understand that approach, but it's still the wrong way to go about it.

Let VV be a safe place for veg*ns, but other than that, let it evolve to whatever it becomes.

How do you propose to let VeggieViews be a safe place for its members when you carry tales of what goes on here elsewhere, to people who aren't even vegetarian, so you and they can scoff at some of us? Has everything in our private sections been reported to your master as well? Don't bother to answer. I at least won't believe a word you have to say in your defense.

That's pretty damn funny.

Ironic much?

 

[das_nut]

That's pretty damn funny.

What I was referring to is have the board be a place where veg*nism can hang out and know that, even if not everyone defines AR or veg*nism the same way, interest in a veg*n lifestyle will always be around.

I'm thinking that the vast majority of veg*ns are strong enough to be exposed to people who don't think exactly like them. This refers to both veg*n issues (such as those who "only" are ovo-lacto, or those who are veg just for "health reasons") and non-veg*n issues.

This board would be plenty boring if everyone was a carbon copy of each other.

I think you missed my point. See post #23 above for clarification.

 

[Dedalus]

Can one of the choices be:

"A place for veg*ns that will not end up like VB." ?

While the fighting is irritating, it's not that important to me. What I don't want is the endless rookie vegetarian questions. Not that rookie vegetarians don't need answers, but ******* are eggs vegan questions every ten minutes makes me want to pull my hair out.

But I'm still waiting for what's behind door number three!

*popcorn*

And for the popcorn smilie!

Maybe we need a "new vegetarian" and "new vegan" FAQ for those with questions.

Then the mods could point new members to that.

I voted for the first two and general discussion.
I feel as a board general talk is needed to keep things flowing but as this is MEANT to be for like minded Veg*ns and AR supporters i feel we need to discuss topics relating to those areas, otherwise you might aswell join a GD forum.

 

[Clueless Git]

I think an area where non-veg*ans can post their world views for ... errrrrr ... 'further examination' would be quite amusing.

 

[Spang]

General discussion board for people who don't eat animals or general discussion board for former-heads of state who don't eat animals.

 

[kazyeeqen]

I could be wrong, but I think the idea behind the last option was that if you choose "something else", you are supposed to tell us what that something else is going to be.

Damn, I thought it was gonna be a big revelation by IS.

If it makes you feel better... that was how I read it too.

[beancounter]

I don't think this forum should become a place where people debate working out percentages.

Math haters just gonna be math haters...

This.

I just hope that this message board doesn't become the kind of place that allows obvious trolls to post freely in an attempt to keep posts up. That sort of environment does not harbour a healthy community imo.

Edit: Particularly well-known ones who post all over vegetarian/vegan message boards with the same name, spewing the same vitriol.

 

[Mr Crunchy]

I vote for an exclusive community with strict entrance requirements, brutal initiation rites and a secret handshake.

And I want it to be friendly.
