A bright future is possible

if you want fun in the Velvet Room, have fun in the Velvet Room. that thread isn't described by anything specifically, only by the moment's conversation. it can go a million ways.

and excuse me, but this fun looks absolutely childish, free, benevolent, without a true characteristic of ... fun and so on. also selective, since you five I've mentioned are the ones who have talked all through this topic.

you've gone into the usual queery jokes and "friendly insults" (noob, geek) or treat the subject of unsubstantial things. not to mention grammer observations, which by etiquette isn't that normal to be observed, and for sure not that intensively.

this, sir(s), isn't exactly fun. certainly not "bright future" either.

Yeah, the VR has been really bleak and boring since the 3rd one.  It just seems like the veterans are posting less (Flossy, Bern, me, Ansen, Blowie, etc.) and n00bs are taking over.  I don't mind n00bs, but it seems like there is never any interesting conversation going on anymore, be it music-related or not.

Who are the n00bs? Am I a n00b? 

While I agree that too much is focused on female issues and fits of depression, the main thing that has to happen is you have to make it fun with what you have. I'm not talking about tasteless and childish jokes about beating meat, but a simple comment about something random (and within reason) can really lift the mood of the place. You people are too demanding of what the place should be, just make it fun with what you can make it fun with (but please, nothing too childish).

"But mom, he started it!"

Yes I know, you're fine in my opinion as you never really go too far unless someone does something first (from what I've noticed).
