There was a thread on online classes in the old KTL. I was hoping that we could get that up here again, but those links would have to be re-posted. It was one of the better threads on there. I know you're around here somewhere TWISM and I'm pretty sure you were pivotal in that.

I'm modding it as of right now, but those were all good choices. If only they'd show up here and post. But with that said, we need a lot more activity on here.

Do you all think this place would benefit from a drop-box where people post up course outlines, study charts, etc. Obviously everyone doesn't take the same courses, but a lot of things would be transferable. We shared one like that in law school (myself and others).


I don't get how the election thread isn't popping right now though.

I'm around breh. :leon:

I agree tho, we need more activity. IMO a lot of the problem is that the people who posted in KTL pretty much already know each other's opinions about everything, so there's not as much reason to post. For example I don't post about religion or politics as much as I used to, not because of any change of opinion or conviction, but because I already know what most people will say. We need new blood. :evil:

But that said I'll def make an effort to try to think of interesting topics. I work in tech support so I tend to be at a computer pretty much all day.

Sounds good, I'm always up for some extra credits especially if they are transferable and free. Perhaps a subforum if enough of us would post there?

Exactly. We know each other and each other opinions on everything. It's gotten very repetitive and people are tired of rehashing the same arguments over and over.

I agree. That's why I was trying to shift this to be a place where we'd of course talk about the top issues of the day, but be a more beneficial place for things that academic and career related.

Seeing how we have a lot of people in graduate school or college (even high school), this should be the place that all issues related to those things are discussed.

Lol...are you serious dude? What are you talking about I should "drop more knowledge?" Nevermind the fact that you're using an outdated colloquial hip-hop phrasing in a serious conversation in 2012, but did you even read any of my posts?

I'm not sure what I should've said that would've met your criteria of "dropping knowledge." Maybe I should've posted about walking around with magic crystals stuck up my ass or something.

Maybe I should've said the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were named after angels.

Or maybe I should've said someone paralyzed from a spinal hematona should've rejected a panel of doctors' recommendation for surgery and used herbs.

Or maybe I should've said cancer patients should not undergo chemotherapy and just drink liquid chlorophyll instead.

Or maybe I should've said rape and unnecessary killing in war is a new, modern phenomena.

Or maybe I should've said I believe in snake people because there's drawings of them in caves.

Or maybe I should believe HIV is a manmade government experiment.

Or maybe I should call water "liquid life energy."

Or maybe I should believe in Frances Cress Welshing racist pseudoscience bullshyt.

If that's your idea of dropping knowledge, then I guess I don't. My idea of dropping knowledge entails sanity and logic, though.

And you're being quite the hypocrite by accusing me of being a negative influence while singling me out and attacking me with long ass emotional paragraphs in this thread. Have an LLE, nikka.


i never said you had to agree with all my opinions... so once again your reading comprehension has failed.

but its all good cuz your whole shyt is transparent... youre an insecure brat and as long as you post in HL, my name will never die :umad:

He ain't bout what? This is a message board where people settle things with words. You just sound like another poster that gets so hurt over what someone said that you wanna meet up and fight in the street. The reality is you ain't about this life where who can beat who up doesnt translate into whos "right."

i am talking about settling things with words, but the words must have value.

and who said i try and fight people i disagree with in real life?

sub forum for school related stuff?

hit the books or something?

It would be nice to keep it all together or it will get lost in the mix

i would like HL to be viewed as the place to post any serious & intellectual threads and not just a political & current events forum. i think some TLR threads would be better suited for this forum rather than the light hearted and joking TLR. KTL was somewhat segregated from the rest of sohh and almost seemed a little elitist. some new blood and an infusion of some fresh topics rather than the same old debates rehashed could do this forum some good

Hey guys, any ideas on how to increase the activity on here? We're thinking of ways to get an influx of new posters in here.

For one thing, you could move some of the relevant topics from other places, like the Locker Room, here. As it stands, that place has a pretty general and wide range of things going on, but a lot of the posters who used to post in KTL and are around here don't check over there.

I have to slightly disagree with this. This forum is not even really all that old, but there's already a dedicated conspiracy thread. One which I haven't upped for that very reason you mentioned. I haven't merged everything in there because people don't seem to want that, but I can if they do.
