The Ith Interforum Olympiad
Posted by: matthewr on 30 November 2004
All,
I have been wondering lately which is the best forum? That is, which of Naim and PFM has the most witty, charming, intelligent and generally wonderful posters. Ok this is a bit like asking “Who’s your favourite dictator?”, but that aside I propose a competition to determine the answer to this important question.
So, basically, we have a simple task designed to test your creative juices posted on both the Naim and PFM forums. The inhabitants of each forum then post on their respective threads and after a while I shall judge the replies and nominate one or the other as “Best Forum Ever”.
The Task
Simply suggest a website, or websites, you think should exist. That is, give it a domain name and a brief description of what it’s about. You try to make it funny, clever, insightful, weird, thought provoking, whatever and thus demonstrate your forums undoubted superiority and general all round brilliance.
For example:
www.gilf.com – ‘Geek I’d Like to Fuck’ is a place for young attractive models who harbour sexual fantasies about 30 something balding IT workers to meet, chat about Geeks, and leave their contact details.
www.BromptonX.com – Site devoted to tricks, racing and vert riding on the famous small-wheeled folding commuter bicycles made by Brompton. Includes footage of Lehman Brothers Pro Commuter Jeff Schlemberg pulling the first ever in competition 360 Frame Fold over the down escalators at Cannon St.
Etc, etc.
Scoring
I shall award one point for entries deemed “good” and deduct 1 point for lame ass, loser entries I don’t like. Unremarkable entries will get 0 points.
The scoring will be done using the latest advanced scientific methods to objectively rate entries on the ISO standard GOOD – LAME axis. Or it might be utterly capricious, I haven’t decided yet.
So over to you. And remember, your forums reputation and honour is at stake…
