Too many topics ??

[doodlebug]

I think it's a good idea to have more topics, but now i feel there are too many , the board is too big, and a lot of the categories are too similar??!

discuss

[forumdude]

we could nest them inside each other?

They will fill soon enough and they inspire new and difference ideas and posts. I would leave as is. Mark it eight, mang.

My 2 cents, submitted humbly:

Combine General discussion into Gen. comments, dump General category completely, put The Dudespaper up at the top where it belongs. Turn all of the Under the Influences sub-categories into threads in one category, put it in Dudeist Religion.

Combine Lebowskian Theory and Symbolism, call it The Da Fino Code or Gnostic Dudeism.

There is a simple trade off, more threads means more clutter and searching, but it also means more ideas may emerge. Also, more categories will go stale, we don't have enough people posting here as it is.

Thanks for the suggestions. Always welcome. I did combine the "under the influences" together as a subcategory under "Dudeist relgion" which I think was a good idea. Not sure about combining the general category and the general category for comments on the site. There's Dudeism and then there's the web page itself which are kind of different.

It's my hope that more categories will inspire people to write more. But I could be wrong.

Am I wrong?

Gnostic Dudeism... that's interesting man, that's fucking interesting. Got the whole mystic thing going on. If anyone is looking to start-up a Gnostic sect of Dudeism, you can count me in. Maybe get all ancient Greek and Egyptian and shit...

You're not wrong. I agree that more topics will inspire more writing, and the most recent category compacting cleaned it up a bit. I would say just roll with it for a while and adjust depending on what's popular and what could use room for growth.

[Elbowski]

Yeah, roll with it Oly. A little experimentation won't hurt us. Is "The Da Fino Code" off the table?

Dirt Dude, if you have any questions, just ask. I've got the goodies. I'd be happy to host a discussion of the Gnostic aspects of TBL. If there is anything that I don't already know, I can research it for y'all.  This film is much deeper than most people suspect, and worth a little digging, dig?

[forumdude]

oops, no, forgot to do the da fino code thing. it's up!

[Elbowski]

What more could a lazy bum ask for? I mean dude. Buy yourself an oat soda, dude. I would, but I'm currently unemployed. I do have some roaches in my car seat, if you're interested. They're down there somewhere, let me take another look.

We're talking about the forum dude here...

Forum dude, the new additions really tie the room together, mang. Nice new dudeism chat pad additions, completely unspoiled. I dig the way you do business. Personally I think the new additions are the next logical step for this family restaurant to grow.

Its always nice to know that no matter how much time you spend occupying various, um, administration buildings, smoking thai-stick, breaking into the ROTC and bowling that you can hang out at the dudeism forum and have a dude time reading some good shit and soaking up some dude like wisdom. Far fucking out, forum dude.

OK then.

Oh yeah, almost forgot.............can we have a section where we can hang our dirty undies?

Example..............

Your Dirty Undies
Need a place to bare your soul and confess your undudeness? Post your confessions here.

[forumdude]

far fucking out, man. a dude confessional.
