Elite is doomed?
Nah, a certain disruptive forums user is really a sockpuppet account created by Chris Roberts*
* - This is actually untrue, but the idea appeals to my sense of humour.

Ah, I see, sometimes I think it could actually be more than one account.

You never know. Maybe one of them is Derek Smart.
Actually, that's highly unlikely. I'm not sure his ego would let him convincingly post as a sockpuppet...
Now I'm thinking that there never was a real story, just a desperate plea for attention

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.

That's a good percentage of all threads, and all of my Twitter posts.; )

The picture suggests that you have a question on the topic of taking an edgy selfie whilst wearing 3D glasses, smoking a , and typing on ancient technology, all the while being in a war zone.
Well, let's just say I was afraid of writing a post which might cause things to blow up.
Also, Spider Jerusalem is one of my favourite comics characters. (And I didn't have a pic of Tank Girl typing.)

And a post like this suggest an art critic, whom don't have the slightest idea what he doing and what the other really meant, so he is (mostly) talking high minded stupid to make a living. But you know what I'm really intrested in? What the art's actual creators saying about something like this? I suspect... Well?
Maybe this is the reason they are usually doing this with dead artists creations otherwise? They just making a too big fool out of themselves.
You missed the 'don't talk about political related stuff' either warning. In hindsight pretty much anything is political, so what were are left with is mostly hot wind about not much of import, sort of like the chit-chat around the bingo table at the knitting club
Who cares if the world is going to junk? just plug your ears and sing la, la, la and don't think, or talk, about it amongst others.Having given that critique i would suggest the OP probably has a post that would cause all the issues they are concerned about so in hindsight, in this forum as it is right now, it probably would not go down well?
Edit: ah balls, maybe i shouldn't have posted this either......

The real problem is with daily / actual politics. That's a firestarter for sure.
In the grander picture talking about the problems of society and world itself no so much. And most of the time, you cannot even really call politics. The problem in this questions comes from elsewhere. They are usually too vauge / loose, what can and in given time if the posters unable to stick with the flow of talking, gets derailed (usually by thrown a red herring in the middle of it by a sore loser whom already lost the debate, but just can't get over with) Or even worse drown in infights between the participants.
And there are the definite trolltents such as tin foil hattery conspiration theories any and all sort of ideologically biased trash. There can be only 2 results of this. Flame war, or the question itself gets ridiculed beyond belief. Which is from the point of view of the losers, Also flaming, but to speak the truth they just utterly ridiculously stupid.
For my part?
- Better to avoid the first if you want to keep the peace.
Although you just can't close out entirely, for the simple reason it's affects our entire world.
- Deal carefully with the second.
Because it's flammable
-And give wide berth to the third.
About this? The ones whom throwing red herring when they are lose the debate are usually the firm believers of this class of nonsense.
Wasn't it Rob Grant and Doug Naylor who advised, "Never discuss religion, politics, or toast"?

Cactai arent illegal under UK law...they also take years to force into blooming stage and dont really do much fer aches and pains ^
Ah Im dissappointed now with no fun question asked...Ill assume yer scared of the mods which is a shame...hoped fer more but now it just looks like an attention thread ^
Ah, I think I get your drift. (Cacti can be good at causing pains, but that's why I avoid the spiny ones.)
And no, I'm not afraid of the mods at all* - I just found that the advice I was given confirmed my own doubts, and decided that I was better off not kicking the wasps' nest for the sake of curiosity. The question I had in mind likely would not have played too well with the community, even though I'd written it very carefully so as to avoid breaking rules. I can live with that - in real life I've often asked blunt and to-the-point questions which, whilst fair and legitimate, caused the people around me to form and express less-than-positive opinions, and the answer was not worth the consequences.
So if you want to call that "attention seeking", that's your perogative; as a relative newcomer here, and as the question I had in mind was one I'd never had cause to ask in any other forum I've been a member of, I felt that my own misgivings warranted seeking advice rather than risk upsetting other users or igniting a flame war. We can agree to disagree on that, though.

My only rule: be wary about getting very angry about imaginary spaceships in a public place.

Would have been easier just sending them a PM as opposed to creating a thread and teasing everyone with something juicy to discuss...and delivering nothing but a tease ^
The forum is getting steadily more boring lately which is a shame considering its half the appeal of the game until next year when theres actually something in the game worth talking about ^
