Conquer Club

Actually, to be accurate, it's a series of inter-connected adjectival prepositional clauses - and it's perfectly legitimate (if not perfectly satisfactory) English, due to the heavy use of ellipses.



Yes, I am an English nut.

Each line he said was connected by "and." It would be fine if he connected it properly with the use of variety in his conjunctive adverbs or linking verbs. The use of a "..." isn't permitted in any kind of formal writing if writing a long passage of words connected by only that form of punctuation is used.

Therefore, it must be considered a run-on sentence because of the over-use of "and," "...," and no other proper punctuation marks.

...

Yeah, I'm one as well.

Like Lack doesn't have more important things to do. He made a decision, after a poll, and you should respect lack enough to respect his decision. This thread needs to die, so we can go on dealing with more important stuff. Let's stop being pettie.

monday evening i sent a pm to lack
i basically asked him to give a yes, no, or maybe answer on changing the name back to off-topic topics
i told him that i understand that in the end that the admin makes the final decision
i also appologized that i am using up his time, as he surely does have other things to handle
but then he sent me a reply
he stated that he admits social lounge is not very popular and he will consider changing it back
this gives me the encouragement to carry on the protest of the social lounge
i also told him that one good option would be to re-name this Off-Topic Topics and name the upcoming systemwide realtime chat the social lounge
and i also said that if he would not at all be willing to bring back off-topic topics that i would respect that decision and give up the fight for off-topic topics

Because I don't wish to hijack this thread, I've moved my response to the following thread:

http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 4555#74555

Truman, and any other interested party, feel free to respond there.

how about you two start your own grammar thread

Eh... yeah, sorry about that. (Took care of it.)

And I am glad to hear that getting off-topic topics back is still a viable option!

Why not just go back to off topic, i mean, its more true than social lounge....plus it sounds like an old bar.

i got my new avatar
it's not that great, very simple, but it shows what i stand for
and yes in the bottom right corner is my old avatar, i just couldn't part with that good old thing

I think social lounge is popular, it's just that the people who voted for it in the first thread, didn't bother to vote again in this thread, as it was a mockery to democracy... a bit like the Nice referendum here in Ireland. Anyway the lengths you're taking this to is beyond retarded. It's just a name, live with it.

NO joke... not only is it a name its a name to the only forum NOT RELATED TO CONQUER CLUB....so ideally its the thread people should least pay attention to.. not spend their entire time posting in.

well i'm sorry, but life is not always, and usually isn't, ideal

The irony of this statement is fantastic.

And if you break it down, it would look like this.


"well i am sorry, but life is not always, and usually is not, ideal"

Which also makes no sense.

and if the name isn't such a big deal to you then why do you even bother posting in this thread?

Caleb, life isn't always ideal, so why not just let it go.

it applies to everything, including the movement to get the true name back
but that will not stop us from trying to make it more ideal and favorable
because of this lttle thing called hope

You might want to consider sueing your English teacher.

sounds good to me, i hated her

social lounge is a stupid name. the reason i didn't vote in the last poll for off topic was i was in the wilderness for a week.

this poll was made for people like you
some people can't seem to graspe that concept

80 votes 15000 members.

C'mon guys show some interest.
This is IMOPRTANT!!11!!OMG
vote early. vote often.

80 votes is more than the original poll
this just shows that this poll was worth making
plus if the name has no importance to you at all, then why bother posting?

the shameful double post
but i felt like giving this a bump, maybe this will annoy some people that way plus we might get more votes
and if you wonder how long i'm going to keep at this...
the answer is either until lack says no or i will keep on going at least well into september, maybe longer

Thought I'd bump this for you as you seem to have given up.

Its a shit poll though. No depth of feeling anywhere.

Loser.

Romper Room? Ghey. Although I guess the median age on here is 14 so it probably works.
