Oolite Bulletins

Hej folks,

Say, one thing I miss around here is a kind of general smalltalk topic, like a general pilot's lounge or something.

You know, for the kind of stuff not worth it's own proper topic.
Be it Oolite related or not.

...

I would bet this idea has not appeared in my brain first, so maybe you already discussed why you don't want such topic ? Or maybe it exists, but buried in the unfathomable depth of outworld ?

Don't know.

But this thread is here now (until site staff decides otherwise - hope they let this stay )

Why "Various Ramblings" ?
Once, on another forum, a thread in the forum's off-topic -section spun off on so many tangents and normals, that I decided to split it in two - one part containing stuff relevant to the original topic and the other part having all the various ramblings and chit-chat - "Various Ramblings" was born.

So, if you think you have something worth saying but not needing a topic of its own, here's the place to express yourself.

I don't see the point, really. We don't have just a thread, but a complete forum dedicated to various ramblings, namely exactly the Outworld forum this is posted in. Everybody is free to start a thread (or ten; or a friggin' thousand if he pleases) about anything in this whole wide world, with no connection to Oolite, even with no fathomable connection to anything at all.

So, as we already have a whole forum for this kind of stuff, and are using it abundantly, why reduce it to a single thread? I really don't see the point.

PS: Note that I haven't even derailed this thread. After all, this is a rambling, isn't it?

Exactly.

Clutter the Outworld less?

Might even be fun.

Does everything have to have a point?

Madness - sheer madness. Thread creation just for the sake of thread creation...

Outworld is for random stuff. No need for this thread.

This thread is exactly for AVOIDING "Thread creation just for the sake of thread creation..."

Madness - maybe .

Thought provoking - seems so .

I officially support this thread!

You won't find me posting here!

Neither will I.

After this one, that is.

I still wonder how it might be making HUDs without using trial & error with the positioning...

There are too many byzanthine rambling threads on this board.

But byzantine ramblings are fun! Certainly more fun that Carthaginian ramblings...

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.

I took a vow of silence on this thread.
