It's like the only forum here that can consistently entertain.

    Because it's not permanent.

    No, it's actually just a funny premise for a forum.

    If it was a permanent thing it wouldn't be as interesting.

    The whining forum is definitely something that is best in measured, small doses once every 6 to 9 months.

    Screw that. Don't get me wrong, I love the whining forum, maybe more than anyone else, but I think it's more awesome as an occasional surprise. It's the best thing when you show up, click on the index, and there it is, waiting for you.

    I had some long post here about how the more you ask for something the less likely it is to happen, but the forum ate it accidentally, so, uh...

    Would you want Christmas 365 days a year? (No presents, obviously. Or fantastic dinner.)

    Yeah, you're right. I wouldn't want to hear Whining Forum songs all day long.

    They're just so catchy! And they stay in your head the entire day!

    sir, may i interest you in a forum called "wubble woo?"

    i guess you have a point thanatos. i was just trying to find a compromise. how about like, a donation meter that goes to some charity. and when it's full we get the forum for a week...

    I think not knowing when it happens is half the fun. Though, that's probably just me. I <3 surprises.

    Pleasant ones, anyway. Like when I discovered that Tube has a physical body, and isn't just a wandering cloud of malevolence.

    I don't know what you look like, but I find malevolence a very attractive quality in a person.

    Only thing worth suggesting would be greater variety in type or theme of occasional forum. Having novelty forums permanent fixtures would just be annoying. Like buying a Weird Al album.

    And as I recall, no one from SE++ seriously whined about it when the Whining Forum had been featured right above their index the time before.

    Not much point of a Whining Forum if there's nothing for people to whine about, right?

    That's retarded. There are many awesome threads in G&T and most people there are good people.
    It's as retarded as some people in G&T being all like "SE++ suckz because they're all meanies and assholes and make fun of us :(". I really hate this stupid inter-forum rivalry. People should be derided for the posts they make and not because they post in a particular subforum here.

    I could go on, but I think I'll wait for the whining forum.
