too much politically opinionated fukkery threads and conspiracy overload.. make some plain current events threads..
i liked ktl cuz it read like "the news" -some of the time-
i dont get that from here yet


That's kind of why I liked KTL. I was able to gain various perceptives when certain topics came up. Despite not watching cable news or reading the local paper. The transition to the real world has helped me become a lot more active in debates, challenging professors and bailed me out on a few test :win:


I'll start dropping more threads....

But these conspiracy threads need to come to a halt. Make them have a mandatory cross reference check. No wikipedia(can be edited) or sites like prisonplanet....

Yeah, imo BKdagawd's ideas about it being a place for academic and business tools are definitely good ideas, but it just won't get activity without people posting newslinks and articles which lead to lively discussion like KTL. KTL didn't get much activity either, but any knowledge section of any message board will never see the type of action that the sports, music, and water cooler-type talk areas will because people like to talk about sports, music, sex, relationships, jokes, etc. more than they do politics, economics, education, etc. just like in real life. KTL was pretty insular for obvious reasons. The board could be much better, but it'll never do Coliseum/Locker Room/JBO numbers. For now, people just need to start posting article links imo.

Another poster approached me about doing a podcast. I'd be down for that.

Tell me more about this podcast. But are you guys saying you want me to make one giant conspiracy thread? How exactly do you want me to consolidate them? Most of the articles I post tend to have to do with education anyhow. But I agree with a lot of what's been said. KTL used to be a great place for news sources before became beef central. It will never have the same amount of posts as TLR or The Coliseum, but I fee like we should at least outperform subforums like the Gym.

Talk to BrokeWave. He has experience with that in the old Coliseum. I'd need a tutorial as well, but I'd do it.

podcast is a dope idea. i'll throw it up on the main page once we get that finished too

debates in general would be dope. have some faceoffs between a few posters and let them go back and forth...even if its just posting and not a podcast

I'd be willing to moderate it or maybe someone else can. I'll hit up Brokewave later.

A podcast would actually be a dope idea. No one really gives me props but I was the nikka to start the first ever podcast on Sohh.com. Now there are so many garbage ones all over here people loose track.

I'm basically the podfather of this site. I'll be interested in participating in one, but Im too busy these days with being responsible for hosting and editing it like last time.
