I have to say I am rather pleased... second only to the "Is there a God?" thread, the "climate sceptics" thread is still going strong... followed closely (in third place) by the "Saudi Arabia to behead and crucify paedophile" thread....



So what does this say about East Dulwich and/or the forum???


Ranking....


1. Is there a God? 3181


2. Are there still any climate sceptics out there??? 1285


3. Saudi Arabia to behead and crucify paedophile 1259


EDITED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING

(aahhhem!!! Admin!!! this thread is an analysis of levels of interest for various thread/topics in THE DRAWING ROOM!!!

and makes no sense what so ever if moved to the in THE LOUNGE

why????)

Not sure what it says about East Dulwich but if the Forum now has 10,259 registered users and averages 2,800 unique users* per day, then most people seem happy to keep their own counsel.


Posts about dogs and cats seem to draw good audiences.


(* figures 30/7/09 from Mark and the East Dulwich Forum Team, 'Some changes to The East Dulwich Forum - July 2009' if citation required)

Just to update that, it's now 12,972 registered users (of which 9,793 have posted) and about 3,200 unique users a day. As with nearly all forums most users just watch and so unfortunately we don't get to know what their opinions are.


So what does this say about East Dulwich? As Keef said not a lot, you could look at the stats of the Lounge threads and make the conclusion that ED is full of word associating badminton players who are also musically talented footballing comedians that fly into irrational rage over a curry. Hmmm, hang on....

Speak to The Chair coz the Admin ain't listenin'



...it's a Drawing Room issue. Mind you you did put a picture of some dirt in your post and lots of ??????s in the title, that may have contributed.



I think I may have shot myself in the foot with this thread by introducing Dave Allen to the masses. There hasn't been a post since and rumour has it that HAL9000 has not been able to compute it and has burst a bloodvessel or whatever it is computers do!

Ha! I'm still waiting for you lot to figure out that your Universe is just a simulation running on my spare hard drive.

It was a topic about the Drawing Room but I've moved it here since it quickly moved away from that.

As a topic, I thought it sounded more like an "About this forum" kinda subject from the get go - but there isn't any real reason why a serious Drawing Room type debate couldn't happen around it. It would be unlikely! - but not impossible


But it is the Chair's decision - and remember the chair does change regularly


Kel - you sound in a telling people what's what kind of way today - perhaps you could wing an application Admin's way?

Sounds much like crossing over to the dark side of the force ;-) hehe has the application form been reduced from the 32000 pages yet?

    • No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.     
    • Lloyd Weber and Cilla Black were supposed to leave when Blair got in, but didn't
    • You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.    
    • Ah the oldest cliche in the book   ”I would leave if…”   but you wouldn’t leave if farage was prime minister ?
