I have difficulty figuring out where a thread should go sometimes. Are there any clear definitions?

Simply said, put it in EoEO if you don't want to be trolled or if it's a sensitive topic. EoEO's a more strict forum for serious topics. Pretty much anything goes in General Chat as long as it isn't pointless spam (and even then that sometimes gets by) and as long as it follows forum guidelines.

If it's a topic about being gay, embracing gayness, the acceptance (or not) of being gay in the society or anything relating to Hugh Jackman, EoEO is the place for you, seeing as that's 50% of the topics there anyway. >_>

The rest is religious tolerance, politics and some kind of alternating livejournal.

Religious tolerance? I don't see much of that in there. More like Christian bashing.

General Chat reply to this thread: From the thread title, I had thought the war had finally started and was ready to purge EoEO and its depraved residents from my beloved EoFF.

EoEO reply to this thread: General Chat is exactly what it says it is. Just a place to have some casual chat about whatever comes to mind. EoEO is for more serious discussion, usually either about a personal issue or something you want to get off your chest, or for debate about issues.

It says what stuff is for in the forum description.


Flaming and spam are more strictly dealt with here than in the other forums.

The big, giant, small text that translates out to "no trolling." Not that it stops people who are better at hiding their trolling under "sophisticated words" and "intellectual discourse." Ohh, wait.

But some of us are already blue. If we were green, we would die.

If you want serious discussion on any topic at all, from discussing your favourite ice cream to anything personal, world events, etc....it goes into EoEO. General Chat is more lax. Sometime EoEO gets a bit lax but you never know when the hammer is going to come down and EoEO bans start taking place so it's best to keep all off-topic/spammy posts out of there. As a rule, we do not move threads from one forum to the other, regardless of the topic, unless specifically requested to do so by the thread starter.

If you like a girl and want advice for getting her to like you back and you post your query in EoEO we will tell you to start by hanging out with her in non-threatening settings like group dates; if you ask in GC we will tell you to have sex with her mom.

Actually hit on every one of her relatives except her. I might be banned from seeing some people soon.

I'd rather hit on her too and see where that leads. >_>

You put a topic in EoEO if you don't want it to be fun.

Posting in General=fun or random responses.

EOEO=life advice and genuine thought from time to time.

General wins.

I'd reiterate what pretty much everyone in the thread just said but I think once you get told 21 times, you've passed the threshold for the amount of times you can read the same post.

One day I'm going to make a thread in EoEO about favourite flavour of ice cream, just so everyone has to take it DEADLY seriously.

This is probably the most clear and succinct definition. I totally get it now! Thanks guys!

Waste of time. She'll get jealous because she's the only one you haven't hit on.

I love how I get this reference.


General Chat is where we all act as the idiots we are.
EoEO is where we all masquerade as intellectuals and make fields for scarecrows to pretend to be kings.

You're doing that now, just in reverse. :p

I didn't know if it was just me or what. It's clever :p
