What about other subsection.... where people can only speak using quotes of other people? Or only use 3 words and have to complete sentence that other start? Kind of like "Who's line is it anyway?".

We had a 'five words' thread on another forum I participate in, and that was fun.

fccool, that 3 words idea sounds like a good idea for a thread, but not a whole forum.

An original thought doesn't have to be something no one else has ever thought of before. It just has to be something we've never heard or read somewhere, the result of long (or not so long) thought on some matter that interests us, or that we are wondering about. It can make for a very good discussion, if someone else is interested in the same ideas. Personally, I have trouble finding anyone interested in discussing most of the things I wonder and think about.

Actually an original thoughts would would be interesting..


Tom, would you be interested in being the moderator?

Good thought, ChildofChrist, and you wouldn't have been able to include that if participating in Tom's forum thread. Nor would I have been able to refer to your thought. In fact to follow that one rule would be like the next post I'm submitting to Tom of which no one else would be able to duplicate since it came from my thought first.
Regards!

The reply was blank and wouldn't post so I'm assuming somebody already tried to post that thought.

Nup. Neither of you read the one rule. It was 'no quoting'. It was *not* 'thoughts that have never been voiced in the history of the world ever'.

I like that idea of having a 3-word or 5-word thread. Challenging conciseness is always good for the brain.

Or maybe, to flex the idea of a no-quote thread, you could only quote a maximum of five words from someone else in your entire post. Instead of a NaNoWriMo* project, we would have a FiveQuoNoMo thread or forum.

The title of this would then be called 'snippets' which at one point on this forum was a bad name.

It would be refreshing to see this.. not "I will let EGW explain to you what I think" (and I remain a fan of EGW) or "I will let me Church explain to you what I believe"

Just my thoughts
