Is the DIS Community Board....

[Amy]

Ditto what Blondie said. This is also a place to find out the latest news--many times when something happens in the world, I hear about it on the CB first, before I get a "breaking news" e-mail from our local station.

 

[caitycaity]

i agree with blondie's answer.

Official Definition...

Community Board:
"Join our moderators in a discussion forum for ANY topic, Disney or otherwise. Swap stories, information, ask questions...just be friendly "

 

[faith]

Blondie's answer!

 

[fklhou]

Discussion forum.

How are you doing JTB?

 

[CookieGVB]

LOL@WDWHound "It's a dessert topping, you cow!!"

I think it's both, and I read threads according to what I'm looking for on that particular day.

It's everything it should be and a whole lot more!

i agree with blondie, but of your choices i'd say both but more discussion.

 

[Deb in IA]

Of course, it is a DISCUSSION forum . . . as long as we all send pixie dust, pray, exchange candles/key chains/t-shirts/tea towels, cheer for the Swan-Dophin, drink WDW water, go YA-YA'ing, associate one words, share pictures, sing Christian songs, boast about the accomplishments of our offspring, and talk about Survivor/Bachelor/soap operas . . .

However, we must not have strong opinions, we must not violate "rules", we must not call DIS'ers "bloodthristy", we must not insinuate that DIS'ers might be evil, we must not call DIS'ers braggerts, and we must not USE BIG LETTERS .

Oh, and we must not piss off Webmasters . . .

 

[ILUVDXL]

Way to go Deb, I'm right behind you.

Yeah, we "must not", but somehow we end up doing it anyway.

I think you can have strong opinions here--I just think you have to be respectful about it. Breaking the rules? Well, since I have been here I have always heard "Pete's house, Pete's rules." I like rules and limits, actually. I guess we shouldn't call each other any 'bad' names--no one likes to be lumped into a group. So yeah, we probably shouldn't call one another blood thristy. I don't think there is anyone I have met here that I think is 'evil'--of course, I do think someone like Saddam is evil & no one seems to be like that around here. I think it is great to share our children's accomplishments here or our own little joys in this life. We're friends and usually friends like when things are going well for one another. Big letters? I haven't figured out how to make them that big...but I hear that means one is shouting on the Internet & is usually not well received.
Somewhere around here I learned that it is better to piss someone off than piss on them...or something like that.

 

[Robinrs]

Well, whatever it is it must work because people who don't like being here and everything it so calls stands for are
STILL HERE.

That will ALWAYS amaze me...

 

[debster812]

In answer to JTB's original post--I think it is whatever you want/need it to be. Sometimes it is a discussion, sometimes it is a support group, and sometimes it is just a place to come and be goofy (as opposed to Goofy). I mean, it is a Disney site first and foremost, for goodness' sake, and I think most of us come her to be entertained, and not debate the meaning of life, or Man's inhumanity to man. I'm sure there are sites out there that you can do that on, but I don't care to.

That being said, I agree with Robinrs 100%. No one is forcing anyone who does not want to be here to stay. At least I don't think they are.

JMHO--carry on with your regularly scheduled DISsing.

 

[bumcat]

Debster and Robin I strongly disagree. I am being forced to stay here against my will... I have been hypnotized against my will.

I blame it on all that pixie dust that keeps coming out of my computer.

 

[debster812]

lol bumcat. (I actually feel that way some days as well)

LOL! I guess I'd rather be pissed off than pissed on!

 

[glo]

I think this place is a little of both, and that is just the way I like it.

 

[gina2000]

When someone uses big letters and loud speech to belittle, berate, or denigrate, the content of the words is lost. It's no longer a discussion OR a support group.

I love strong opinions. I love discussions. I love support. All of it can be on the CB if we just respect others' needs to talk.....whether we agree with them or not.

There's a mature and honest way to disagree with anything and everything......


JMHO

 

[Pembo]

BOTH!

 

[Kitty 34]

Both!
