They have over twice as many people viewing at any time, yet they have less than half as many threads and only a quarter of the responses, and it hasn't exactly been going a mile a minute over here. I don't know if they're suddenly shy, or if they're all just waiting from some random troll to come along that they can rip apart. I guess they never got the memo about us not being tied to a site that can work as troll bait.
Anyway, should we go over there and troll them ourselves? It's a little sad watching that many people sit around staring at each other all day.

I think he's talking about the YM forum here. What kind of story or thread are you thinking of?

I don't know. The thread about my little brother went pretty well. Maybe I could put my sister's situation up. Everyone loves slamming a welfare mom. And quite honestly, my sister does totally deserve the criticism. She's a financial train wreck lately.

I don't think posting 87 sexual innuendos followed by 100 posts full of nothing by emoticons would really be doing us a favor. We go for quality, not kwality.

Are you trying to increase the thread count on Refugee Money Board?

I think they should have a ym forum that is pretty strictly moderated. One where people just talk about money and all the extraneous posts are deleted. If only there was some strictly pre moderated place... with a money only focus... Wait! I think I've heard something about such a place recently. Let me think. It's right on the tip of my tongue. Not here. Not MSN. Oh right, Bundle. You want boring stilted on topic money conversation? Well buddy, you're in luck, that's all they do. All day everyday. |

YM used to be moderated more strictly and off topic posts were deleted. I was just giving my opinion on what would get more people posting at the YM here. Fair enough, and if this YM were busy some of the off topic threads would probably get moved to other boards or locked down. When you guys only start like three new threads a day though the mods probably feel bad doing anything to them. |

Several posters on the old YM have said they were not going to go to proboards YM because they worried that it would be too much like EE. Well, they won't know what it's like if they don't come look... Most of the posters here are just killing time at work and dont really want more. Others want a place to talk about money and learn other opinions. It cant really be both very well. Why not?  |

Most of the YM posters like to kill time at work by talking about money. That was sort of the whole point of the board.

Granted there was a group of us that liked to kill time at work by talking about pretty much anything. We're all mostly on EE now though. You guys are free to argue and snipe at each other about any money related topic to your hearts content. Hell, I'll even happily come join you (strictly on topic of course) if you get a good thread going.

Yeah, but even quips are better than a bunch of people sitting there hitting refresh every so often waiting for somebody to say something.

apparently, fluff and drivel is to stay in one place and not interact with the rest of the world, lest we soil it. |

Well I was already exiled for being a working parent who went to a liberal arts college. Might as well add fluff and drivel to the list.  |

But by about post 1020 on tipping, it's kinda already been hashed out... And by about page 65 we've pretty much established that working parents are lousy employees and working mothers are not only bad employees but the scum of the earth as far as parenting goes.  There were some good threads at times on YM, but a lot of times it was the same thing rehashed over and over till someone moved onto the next topic like how fat people suck, welfare queens suck etc. There wasn't a ton of what I'd consider "money" talk on YM.

"What?? I didn't do anything! I think it was EFCO " If you are anything like your avatar all she has to do is point out the chocolate handprints on her butt. Shhh!! She wouldn't have seen that until she was too drunk to care!! Keep quiet!!! Don't make me come over there!!! |
