in the words of fat albert…hey hey hey!
so yeah I was sitting in my B&P speech class today for 3 hours, and we were talking about, you know, businesses and things related to the sort. I wasn’t really paying attention…it is a 3 hour class, so my mind wanders…anywho…my prof. mentioned forum and asked if anyone in the class knew what a forum was. so, I raised my hand and told her, and she asked if anyone is involved in a forum. so I said yes.
to make this long story not too long, I explained all about BBB and told some people to check it out…hopefully, we will get some really great people to add to our wonderful community…sooo….be on the lookout!
rae 🙂

December 2, 2004 at 9:35 pm #106895QuiksilverMemberI tried explaining to my friends exactly what a forum was…I couldn’t exactly do it. It was difficult to explain so I gave them an example…that example being BBB!
So eh if anyone can come up with a reasonable definiton of forum please post it because I need to be able to explain exactly what it is…
December 2, 2004 at 9:49 pm #106888MartinBradleyMemberI was actually suprised when talking to a group of people, how few of them knew what a forum was.
My definition was: An online community whereby people can communicate ideas and opinions via a method of posting messages in an individual topic, usually referred to as a thread.
December 2, 2004 at 10:47 pm #106898kron_19792000MemberActually Martin that problem is pretty common, people do not actually know what things are, they might use it every day but then when you call it by its name they do not know what it is or how it works.
I am suprised by the number of people who do not know what 4 wheel drive is although they have a 4 wheel drive vehicle and things like that.
December 3, 2004 at 2:16 am #106896gossipingraeMemberokay well this is the definition my prof. gave to us
forum: getting the audience’s participation in a large, group meeting or gathering place. also known as a “buzz session”
December 3, 2004 at 2:34 am #106892colinMemberI have talked about BBB to my friends before, and some of them ask “What is a forum?” Well, after I get over the shock that people can be that uninformed, I explained it to them. But man, how can you NOT know what a forum is?
December 3, 2004 at 2:36 am #106897gossipingraeMemberpeople never cease to amaze me…lol…but then again, I prolly ask some stupid computer questions on here that make people cringe…
December 3, 2004 at 3:03 am #106893colinMemberYeah, that’s true. I KNOW I’ve asked some really stupid questions on BBB.
December 3, 2004 at 4:06 am #106886detn8rParticipantI say bigblueball, they laugh. Why? “Big blue balls” that’s all they need to hear. Apparently I’m too much of a computer geek for them to explain what a forum is… but of course, I’m the first one they run to when they have a problem. Go figure.

“You post on bigballs.com?” … Thus I don’t tell many about this site. :/ I’m also too hardcore geek for most people to care about anyway.
December 3, 2004 at 7:11 am #106891QwertyMemberThe word actually comes from the forums of anceint Rome where men would gather and discuss things. Mainly important topics.

Haha, I know exactly what you mean with the “Big Blue Balls” I have to quickly tell them, “its like the earth!”
December 6, 2004 at 2:42 am #106889DaJMan1800MemberI haven’t told anyone about BBB, partially because they would probably ignore me and miss out on all the fun :p. heh, maybe because I’d get the ‘Big Blue Balls” thing, who knows.
December 6, 2004 at 2:59 am #106890RabidKittenParticipant*shrug* I don’t talk about it only because…I don’t talk to anyone really heheh. At least nobody who’d be interested. And when I do mention it, I just say “The Geek Board I go to” Or “The Uber Geek Board”. *chuckles* At least then nobody gets the wrong idea with “big blue ball”.
Although my mom did give me a funny look when she saw the t-shirt Jeff sent me. “Big Blue what!?” …”The geek board mom.” “Oh.” Course I don’t blame her, that’s the only shirt I have that has words on it, it’s really really strange to see me in something like that.
