Hey mods.,

Have you guys ever thought about decking this forum out with different colors and a chat box?

Feels like I’m in a damn doctor’s office - too bland and austere.

I’m good with visual arts and that sort of stuff - let me know if I can pimp this place out.

There was a chat facility, but that was quite a few years ago now. I spoke to 2 or 3 on it…including Satyr…

Can we get the chat-box back? And possibly a new layout?

The chat facility will probably free threads up from the off-topic chit chat that can arise, and the site is having a slight overhaul of sorts but that didn’t include the look but that’s something for Carleas to consider too…

I created a thread before but don’t see it on the board

Your first five posts have to be approved, and after that you’ll be good to go…

So when will my thread get approved?

That happens everywhere. Those visitors, who are not the members or regular posters, usually visit to see just what is going on. More often than not, they only read the headings on the first page of most active threads and leave. A very few percentage of visitors read the threads.

Secondly, most visitors are not interested in pure intellectual discussions like determinism, free will or objectivism/subjectivism. They are more interested in such subjects with whom they can relate themselves or are related with their day to day life.

Thirdly, such threads, which are of complete different zone, also get more hits than normal ones, even if they are not about hardcore philosophy.

That all is true - unfortunately!

Question: I logged on today and noticed that in the forum which included’ The reoccurance of Jewish hatred, the heading forum read, ‘the hatred of other ILP members.’ I usually am not interested in hatred, but i tried it, and it appeared that the forum did not
exist, or could not be accessed. Has the forum been deleted, or, someother technical difficulty occured, to
access this article?

I believe very strongly, that hatred of all kinds is due
to lack of information regarding the object of that
emotion.

To paraphrase from Nathanial Hawthorn’s "Scarlet Letter’, i find solace in the many forms of analogy with the present athmosphere.

 "It contributes greatly towards a man's moral and intellectual health to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate." 

Just wondering, so as for any thing festering be presently put to rest.

Not sure I follow the question. The subject line of that thread was changed by someone in that thread, so subsequent replies bear the new subject (I have changed the subject of this post to illustrate what I mean).

As for what you got a message about it, could it be that you weren’t logged in, or that your session expired before you clicked the link? The Rant House is only visible to members, so if you had been logged out and tried to access a post there, you would get an error message.

Alternatively, the server was thrashing something awful last night, it could just be an error.
