    Moderator Note to folks: Regarding the F word overuse 1 2 3 4 12

    by Hermit

    Folks (And I do mean more than one, not trying to single ANYONE person out, but this seems a good thread to bring it up...again) Only in referring to cancer (the medical condition, not the poster) And COVID (In the Coronavirus thread) are we supposed to use a certain F word on these boards. The Admins have in the past reminded folks that while we tend towards older demographics we want this to be a family friendly board over all. SO... I mention this now and then, and yet still if I do a search, folks ignore it..a lot. So far my options appear to be... Start issuing warnings and infractions Clear them up only to have them happen again …

    What Have You Watched Recently? 1 2 3 4 460

    by Susano

    I just finished viewing Dog Soldiers, a soldiers versus werewolves movie. I found it liked it at lot, parts made me laugh, parts made me shudder, and parts made me say "that's not right...." I highly recommend it. I also watched The Wizard of Oz over the weekend, for the first time. Rather fun, with some highly enjoyable sequences -- the flying monkeys were great! -- and the musical numbers are catchy. I also found it amusing to sort of "count" all the lines that have remained in popular use. What have you seen recently?

    WWE Snark-Free Zone 1 2 3 4 49

    by Psybolt

    I have been reading the other wrestling thread on this site but I am constantly irritated by the snarky comments by the people claiming to be wrestling fans there. I get so tired of it that I decided to start a new thread where real wrestling fans can come to talk about their love of wrestling without those people who continually want to put it down because it "sucks" or that Miz or Orton or Cena or whatever sucks. I am not asking for people to like everything about the WWE (or TNA). I don't like everything. But I would ask that those Internet "smarts" who have nothing but negative things to say to stay away. Of course, with the IWC being a gripe-filled group…

    by Super Squirrel

    I brought my headphones to work tonight so during the slow parts (almost the entire night) I have been able to watch some videos on Google Video. I figured I'd start a thread for people to share random videos.

    General Sports Thread 1 2 3 4 49

    by Pariah

    We have threads for Major League Baseball, the NBA, the NFL, college football, etc. But there are other sports that, let's face it, not enough people follow for a thread of their own. Cycling, tennis, ice hockey, football/soccer, curling, that sort of thing. And we have the Olympic Games coming up soon. So here's a thread where we can talk about some of those lesser-known / lesser appreciated sports. Go nuts.

    Here's the deal: We'll start with a topic. I will post something matching that topic that begins with the letter A. The next post will be something matching the same topic that begins with the letter B. The next one will be the letter C, and so forth. Whoever posts the answer with the letter Z picks the next topic. Let's go. Topic: Modes of Transportation Aeroplane

    I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) 1 2 3 4 46

    by SSgt Baloo

    Last night I dreamt that I was walking along a stream, I heard voices coming from underneath a bridge. I looked under the bridge and saw a bunch of anthropomorphic mice*. they had gathered under the bridge because there was "good" air beneath the bridge and "bad" air everywhere else (a subconscious connection to the many fires and "smokevercast" we've had locally for several days now) they were talking about their friend who had fallen into the water and was drowning. I reached in the water and rescued their soggy friend before continuing on my way. *See: American Tail, Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers, or Flushed Away for examples.

    Jokes 1 2 3 4 288

    by Dust Raven

    Everybody likes jokes. Here is a thread to post your favorite or most recently heard jokes. Here's one I heard today: A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch. The woman's husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already. The little boy says, "Dark in here." The man says, "Yes, it is." Boy - "I have a baseball." Man - "That's nice." Boy - "Want to buy it?" Man - "No, thanks." Boy - "My dad's outside." Man - "OK, how much?" Boy - "$250" In the next few weeks, it…

    NGD Scenes from a Hat 1 2 3 4 1066

    Since Who's line is it anyways? has been the subject of much discussion (okay, SOME discussion) why not try it here? Someone picks a subject/scene, three posters respond to it by writing an example out, and the third one also creates a new subject. Other than that, we wing it.

    A Thread For Random Links 1 2 3 4 61

    It has been suggested that the NGD boards have been clogged with multiple annoying threads, all linking to other, usually funny websites. It was also suggested that they be given a single thread where they may be posted, commented upon, etc., similar to the random musings thread. Given that I tend to link to other sites quite a bit, and not wanting to be considered annoying, the Thread For Random Links is born. While it may be confusing at times with mixed comments and multiple links, at least it will be less annoying to others and hopefully contributory towards the new character of the NGD board. I'll open this thread with the funny baby.

    Interesting Development: A.I. art cannot be Copyrighted. 1 2 3 4

    by Scott Ruggels
    • 90 replies
    • 1.9k views

    THe world of illustration has been roiled these past four months by the release of Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion since. Charges of art theft, due to the researchers scraping publiucally posted art, and photographs, up to 5 billion images, without regards to ownership, and getting to the point, that the text prompts can specify a certain artist's style, have generated protests on gallery sites and concept art boards, across the net. However, a court precedent has decided that only humans and human generated art can be protected. Therefore A.I. generated art, is automatically in the public domain.

    Political Discussion Thread (With Rules) 1 2 3 4 901

    by Simon

    OK...it's unlikely that we'll be able to get away without any political discussion taking place in the forums (despite the fact that the forums are for an RPG and there are plenty of other arenas for political discourse) -- so we're going to make a dedicated spot for them to take place. With rules that will be followed. Before I get into the rules, a little bit about self-policing. You guys are a good group. I'm assuming that, political differences aside, you'd like to keep each other around. So you're going to be the first level of checks that will take place. This is the ONLY US political discussion thread that is going to be around. If you see someone start a…

    On This Day in History 1 2 3 4 26

    by GhostDancer

    In memory of Tom Tyler, aka Vincent Markowski, of Hamtramck, Michigan, whose birthday was today, 1903. His family was Lithuanian. One of his film roles was the World's Mightiest Mortal, Captain Marvel, widely regarded as one of the finest serials ever produced. He also starred as The Phantom, and appeared in more than 150 movies. A champion weightlifter, he qualified for the 1928 Olympics, the same year that he won the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) heavyweight weightlifting championship, lifting 760 pounds (340 kg)—a record that stood for fourteen years. Tom developed a rare disease, scleroderma, costing him his looks, his marriage, his livelihood and his life.

    A Thread for Random Musings 1 2 3 4 695

    by Old Man

    I feel the need to spew random thoughts onto a public board from time to time so I thought I'd start up a thread to do it. Of course everyone else is welcome to spew here also--the only rule is that you cannot reply to someone else's post. Each post should have as little to do with the others as possible.

    "Neat" Pictures 1 2 3 4 764

    by Dr. Anomaly

    We've got threads for catsuit pics, funny pics, big-breast pics, wallpapers...but sometimes I run across pics that don't fit any of those categories. They may be pics of good-looking anime girls, neat maps, sleek aircraft, or whatever. Since there is no real "matching" thread/topic for things like that, let's create a catch-all for pics that you find "neat" that doesn't fit one of the other categories. I'll kick it off with a panoramic map of Mars. There is a larger, higher-res version available here if you want it.

    Since the calendar's changed...time to start the new thread.

But there've been a lot of em.... On the flip side, the Dodgers designated Trevor Bauer for assignment. It'd be surprising if anyone picks him up before he becomes an unrestricted free agent, in about a week. He's still going to be docked pay for the first 50 games he plays. Figure, then: he may well sign a 1 year contract for the league min...use the year to show he's still got it, and try to position for another …
