Lepak Korner

[kwchang]

I find that a number of people have formed a 'club' of sorts to discuss and chat on issues which may not be in line with community issues. Since our rules do not allow for chatting online and we do not have a chat engine, my option was initially to kill the chats.

But these people seem to be having a lot of fun and they do contribute to the sense of community. As such i have started a new sub-forum. check out Lepak Korner (http://www.usj.com.my/bulletin/upload/forumdisplay.php?f=109) under our micro-communities.

I will move other stuff over there as I find them.

[alexhay]

Thanks Chang for this move. I was surprise when I notice that a few thread suddenly dissapear. I thought that Houdini had reappear :P

Wil use that platform...

[SunwayKid]

Marvellous idea Chang.

But the definition of lepak needs some fine tuning though, e.g. Puzzle / Riddles is there but not Word Association. Match of the week is another example.

Not that it really matters but just highlighting some discrepancies, the way I see it. :)

[mon]

For idle chit-chats and other trivialities. Chang san. Perhaps the word idle is not so necessary. Thanks! :)

[Jose Mourinho]

Football, Match of the Day and World Cup are community issues.

:)

[kokomo]

Anyhow, i think most of my threads are there oledi .. so chang i won't hv anything to comment on it .. deeply appreciate your effort here and thanks for evrything. :cool:

[Jose Mourinho]

Cupid thread is a community issue. If it has been moved, then move the TT thread also. It is these so called 'idle chatting' threads which have been pulling in the crowd and everybody become friends. Not all of us have stiff upper lips like the British. Or do we?

;)

[JackRyan1975]

I wouldn't call the Cupid Club a thread for "idle chats". A real life gathering had taken place and it was anything but idle. Should the mod also have a micro-community for "armchair critics"? :D

[Jose Mourinho]

Yeah. Please move the following threads also:

1. Lyrics
2. Inspiration
3. Word Association

In the end the main forum will be a ghost town. Well done.

[Jose Mourinho]

And while you are at it, please do not forget to move this Lepak Korner thread also.

[bobkee]

Armchair antics would be the perfect catch all for many threads hereabouts LOL

[JackRyan1975]

Armchair antics would be the perfect catch all for many threads hereabouts LOL

Yes. And the only threads that ought to remain in the "ghost town" are the three stickies.

[Jose Mourinho]

Please remove all threads relating to Singapore or any other countries as they have nothing to do with our community issues. The following threads should be removed as well.

01. Music Collection
02. What can we do?
03. Something about Moon and Sun
04. Korean series
05. Problem or Inconvenience?
06. My wedding cost will rise
07. The meaning of a nickname
08. How to have a nice holiday in Hong Kong?
09. What is worth to buy in USA?
10. Najem
11. Marriage Question
12. True Love
13. Carry me out in your Arms
14. Bread & Butter
15. Where do we come from?

and many others.

Hey people. The sub-forum is going to be the main forum soon.

:)

[bobkee]

Time outs and deep breaths are recommended at this point of time :D

[Jose Mourinho]

Time outs and deep breaths are recommended at this point of time :D

Why? Nobody is angry. At least, not I. Are you?

:)

[bobkee]

Not about being angry .. it's about being out of "breath" .. it does take quite a bit of effort to actually dig out thread titles .. hehehehehe

[Jose Mourinho]

Not about being angry .. it's about being out of "breath" .. it does take quite a bit of effort to actually dig out thread titles .. hehehehehe

Na. Took me about 3 minutes and 14 seconds. I move fast. That is why Angelina Jolie loves me.

:)

[bobkee]

ROFLMAO .. hats off to the one and only

.. oh crud .. did we just turn this thread into one of idle chatter as well?

[Jose Mourinho]

Bob. Angelina has a younger sister. You want me to arrange a double date? But the sister is shallow. And thus you may need to borrow or steal a red Ferrari from somewhere if you agree to this mother of all dates. Angelina is different. She loves my fat body and loves me for what I am.

:)

I want!!~~!!

[Jose Mourinho]

Kokomo. Please get in queue behind Bob.

[kokomo]

Bob din say he want also ma .. I mention first! Anyway, I'm a gentlemen .. I'll let Bob stand in front of me. ;)

[bobkee]

Budiman = Gentleman .. makes sense :)

[kokomo]

U got that damn right Bob ;) I earned for this title punya.

[kwchang]

Good comments (including the tongue-in-cheek ones by Jose).
I will certainly add the other stuff to the lepak corner.
Hey, if everyone of you people lepak here all day, who is turning the wheels of industry that runs this great country of ours?

[bobkee]

Any 2 bit shrink can probably make quite a killing just treating folks who are addicted to usj.com.my

argh! this addiction.....time for detox.

err....how to delete the url from fav? :D

Come to think of it, usj.com.my has grown leaps and bound....look at the number of sub-topics and "sub-sub-topics".

Veli-proud-of-da-forum

[Jose Mourinho]

Good comments (including the tongue-in-cheek ones by Jose). I will certainly add the other stuff to the lepak corner.

My suggestion is for you to move the other threads back here. As long as we do not post our idle chats in the more serious threads, then I believe they do have their place and role to play in the forum. Many of the not-so-serious threads are ice-breakers and members do get along fine with each other. It is a shame to move them to a sub-forum. I believe you may perhaps need to re-think this. This is not about retracting and loss of face (or whatever some 'advisors' may tell you). It is about good sense and you know deep in your heart, it makes good sense.

Thank you.

[Firefly]

Agree with jose. it's easier to just look at one place.

[bobkee]

I have to say I agree with Jose on this point : "Many of the not-so-serious threads are ice-breakers and members do get along fine with each other."

[kwchang]

Don't worry about the "lose face" problem - me, I got thick skin like the Malaysian rhino.

As for "all in one place" to ease search - don't you guys learn to click on "new posts" in the blue bar above? I click on that and I get a list of new postings regardless which sub-forum it may be located. Hiyah, all this high-tech applications built into this forum engine and you people just visit the main forum area only meh?

Why don't you people give a hand in identifying which threads should be lepak and which should stay in the main forum?

I will tell you later why I started this lepak thing. Aisehman, you think I like to send people to the plantation issit? ;)

[Jose Mourinho]

Why don't you people give a hand in identifying which threads should be lepak and which should stay in the main forum?

It will be easier and faster to determine which threads should stay in the main forum. You wanna bet?

[kwchang]

name the threads, don't say "the first 3" becoz the sequence changes depending which one has a new post.

[Jose Mourinho]

The first three threads stay constant. I have given you the list (2 lists) in my earlier posts. Now don't be lazy and go look so that I do not have to re-post.

[kwchang]

Don't say "the first 3" becoz the listing is dynamic. The sequence changes depending on which one gets a new post.

[Jose Mourinho]

I also suggest that since community-related issues is the point of contention, all threads on Singapore and other countries should be removed.

[Jose Mourinho]

Also thread on Monorail in Penang. What has it got to do with the USJ Community apart from the fact that Firefly may want to use it in the future since he gets sea sick using the ferry?

:)

[Jose Mourinho]

Please remove my thread Killers at Large because it has nothing to do with USJ Community. The killings happened elsewhere.

:)

[kwchang]

Maybe it is like the ex-Manchester United footballer's (can't remember his name right now) problems with obsessive compulsive disorder where he needs to put things in order and in perfect alignment... I had always felt that the main forum was a bit too messy for comfort.

The need to put stuff into sub-forums is to facilitate categorisation of themes so that a new-comer may be able to look into the right groups for his topic of choice. It also helps to keep the lists small (as compared to the huge list in the main forum) so that it is easier to find threads based on subject.

Maybe I should rename "idle-chatter" to "small-talk" since some people feel marginalised eh? However, "lepak korner" will remain the sub-forum unless there is a better name ... Any suggestions?

[Jose Mourinho]

It really doesn't matter to us (me at least) what sort of disorders you may have. But may I ask why is it that you have only moved 6 threads since you created the sub-forum? Many so-called idle chat threads are still here. Are you going to move them today? By you delaying it, it seems you are waiting for the 6 threads in the sub-forum to die a natural death. Since you have already created the sub-forum and have disagreed with us and maintained that idle and chat threads should be moved, then you should move them now and not wait.

Is this not a reasonable request? Or perhaps you don't think so?

[Jose Mourinho]

I will tell you later why I started this lepak thing. Aisehman, you think I like to send people to the plantation issit? ;)

1. Although you are not obliged to, why don't you tell us the reasons now? Otherwise it is akin to my primary school teacher who asked me to extend out my hand and whacked me with the ruler and then she told me that she would tell me what I did wrong later.

2. Sent people to plantation (issit?). You don't want to know what I really think, believe me.

:)

[mon]

Many of the not-so-serious threads are ice-breakers and members do get along fine with each other.
It is about good sense and you know deep in your heart, it makes good sense.


Jose you are right.

Don't mind me saying this, but I realised the forum being quite dull the other night when the cupids went for their TT. Perhaps it was just me. It was pretty much the same when the usual monthly TT gang went for theirs every first Friday. What I'm trying to say is, the cupids have brought life and fun into the forum. Small talks or big talks (some are gibberish anyway) does not matter. As long as there are participations, and it is read and accepted by many. By the way, I always feel small, so small talk is good for me.
:)

[kwchang]

1....why don't you tell us the reasons now?...
Just did - see #41.
I need feedback from the others.

[Jose Mourinho]

Just did - see #41.
I need feedback from the others.

You made changes based on your own compulsive disorder to arrange things orderly?

Okay. That is not important. Please move all the other idle and chat threads now. Or move the 6 back here until you receive all the feedbacks you want (if that is what you are waiting for). You have already made the decision and moved the 6 threads. And now you want and wait for feedbacks? Isn't feedbacks normally collected the other way round? I mean, obtain the feedbacks and then make the decision?

:)

[kokomo]

Chang, maybe you can change from Lepak Korner to other names like Gather to know each other? Lepak sounds like we're bunch of free n nothing to do sort of ppl in here. Not contributing to the community. Actually indeed we're contributing to the community in other ways / forms which others don't see it. :)

Just my 2 sen here.

[pcyeoh]

Don't worry about the "lose face" problem - me, I got thick skin like the Malaysian rhino.
The thick skin of our Malaysian Rhino cannot be thicker that the 'jamban pang' of our Malaysian toilets. Penangkia and other Hokkien lang should know what I mean.


As for "all in one place" to ease search - don't you guys learn to click on "new posts" in the blue bar above? I click on that and I get a list of new postings regardless which sub-forum it may be located. Hiyah, all this high-tech applications built into this forum engine and you people just visit the main forum area only meh?
Do you honestly think new comer will search the forum whether the topic have been brought up before. I bet my bottom that even the die hards here don't bother to do that. Err...er...er did I commit a grammar error when missed out the word 'dollar' when I say I bet my bottom. No sir, I do mean my bottom as I am alway sigh whenever someone ask the same thing again and again. Eg "What about O blood?" "Which contractor is good?" "Any recommendation for a good aircond?" "Where in USJ is a good place to rent?"
But nobody ask "Who the hell is PC Yeoh?"


Why don't you people give a hand in identifying which threads should be lepak and which should stay in the main forum?
Yes we do and you can start by moving this very thread "Lepak Korner" to the Lepak Korner forum. If this thread Lepak Korner does not belong there, then bring back all those threads banished there back here again. Gosh, what the hell is going on here?

Sorry folks. I felt like lepakking and I thought this is a very good place to do so.

[Jose Mourinho]

Kokomo and Friends. You and your friends have contributed more to the community than many others. You have created threads where people gather and talk and make friends. And your threads have led to successful real-life meetings. You and your friends have done a fantastic job and it is certainly not just idle talks leading to nowhere. At least you good people are getting somewhere. More than I can say about many threads where people just vent their frustration and anger and getting nowhere.

:)

[kokomo]

Geezz .. thanks Jose! :o I didn't me and friends contributed so much to this forum already. I must say that all of us are the younger generations of ermm .. this admin, mod & founder of this usj.com .. if we don't gather all together then we have none at all. It would be just another mere website where ppl are only lettin' of their frus & anger & comments (be it good & bad) then close the monitor and back to sleep.

Actually, what define as community issues? Our "lepak" thread also hv community issues and ideas. The main area .. are more serious towards current happenings in USJ and mainly politics (I hate this the most).

I really dunno what to say. Are the youngsters into all this? Do you think they really wanna get involve with such issues? I think not. Maybe only a handful of them would be.

[Jose Mourinho]

Yes. And it seems very damaging when the threads removed were those started by you young people. With the exception of Idolfan who has been here for some time, the other 5 threads removed are:

2 threads started by Kokomo
1 thread started by Alex
2 threads started by Cyanide

And these threads have been so well patronised and people were having so much fun in there. I don't know. Maybe Christmas comes early this year and Scrooge is going round trying to kill all happiness and fun.

:)

[JackRyan1975]

...problems with obsessive compulsive disorder where he needs to put things in order and in perfect alignment... I had always felt that the main forum was a bit too messy for comfort.

By all means, be fair and clean EVERYTHING up. You are demonstrating much inconsistency and you do not practise what you preach. Your banana plantation was one area and now you are showing inconsistency in your attempts at micro-management.

Suggestions? You already have plenty from Jose and others. What is needed is execution. Otherwise, feel free to move this thread to an "Armchair Critics" sub-forum which I had suggested.

[in]

Why is everyone so sensitive? Is it because of the title and name of the new sub forum? For heaven's sake, its just a name, no one is calling you a lepak kaki, so why terasa?

If you really feel strongly about this, then state your reasons. There's no need for sarky comments.

BTW, Chang need not have gotten anyone's feedback and opinion in the first place. He has the authrority and right to change/delete anything he sees necessary.

[kokomo]

I believe with all this supporting post. Chang will do the necessary changes. I guess his purpose of this is to recognise and also do a survey on actually how many ppl agree wif what we've actually posted in here and threads created.

And besides this, don't you think this lepak corner thread is kinda happening also .. :confused: hehe .. created by kwchang!

Chang is happening also actually. :cool:

[idolfan]

Yes. And it seems very damaging when the threads removed were those started by you young people. With the exception of Idolfan who has been here for some time,
:)

Me also young leh .. ;)

lets just keep the discussion civil.. some of your blood pressure seems to be rising.. you may say its not.. but thats the impression I get from reading the posts..

Chang's reasons are ""I had always felt that the main forum was a bit too messy for comfort.
The need to put stuff into sub-forums is to facilitate categorisation of themes so that a new-comer may be able to look into the right groups for his topic of choice. It also helps to keep the lists small (as compared to the huge list in the main forum) so that it is easier to find threads based on subject.""

maybe Jose can summarise the objections so far.. besides the name for the corner..

actually instead of lepak .. maybe we should borrow patrick teoh's "tok kok" corner. j/k..

we should look into how newcomers feel when they step into usj.com coz increasing active participation ...

[HTH]

I guess his purpose of this is to recognise and also do a survey on actually how many ppl agree wif what we've actually posted in here and threads created.


I am all for the messages to be moved back to the main forum.

I normally get into the forum from USJ.com.my main page, by clicking the "View Discussion" link, which will bring me to the main forum. And I normally stayed there for the rest of the day. I dun use the "New Posts" feature nor do I search for old messages. On the main forum, I normally dun go more than 2 pages of archive.

And now, to bring me to my fav "Puzzle" forum, more clicks are needed. *sigh*

my dua sen

[SunwayKid]

Let's be honest - a quick glance of viewers would indicate the heavy concentration in the main forum. Everyone wants to be seen and heard there. Anything else is secondary. If I could analogize, it's just like football (soccer to some).....everyone knows the Nationwide League (Division 1) exists, but nobody talks about it.

Should you move something on health issues to the heath micro-communities, it would be fine as no one here (except maybe 1 :) ) raise any issue as nobody give a damn about their health anyway.

Look at the half-hearted attempt at moving threads to Warong politik - threads on politics are still surfacing in the main forum and when was the last post date after it has been moved to micro-communities? Another bites the dust.

Now, when one mess with cupid's arrows and such (possibly affecting lovebirds), one is playing with fire. Do look at the spin-offs from those threads...trips to watch seafood and eat fireflies (oops, the other way). Even PCYeoh wants to be young again. If this is not building the community, I really am lost as to what is.

Being the mod, I know you can't please everyone but is it possible to create sub-forums within the main forum to resolve that disorder of yours?

Thanks HTH for speaking my mind also.

We should all strive for simplicity in everything we do. While I laud Chang's move to clean up the forum, I can't help but feel that the complexity created by banishing the 6 popular threads to a sub-forum is an attempt to stifle participation by forum members.

Chang, let me know that is not your intention and move them back to the main forum. Else, be consistent and move all such threads (e.g. Word Association Game) to the Lepak Korner. Thank you.

[PeterHng]

I think Chang did a good job by moving those threads to a suitable site where those who want to chit chat can do so. It's more orderly. I support Chang's move and those who do not agree please voice your opinions but please keep it civil. Do not be sarcastic. We do not need this. I think Chang is listening to your opinions. If he thinks your opinions are good I'm sure he'd incorporate and improve on those areas. But if not, let it be. I don't want to categorise those threads as being "banished". It's just being re-organised. After all you can always "Ctrl D" (oops, I mean bookmark) the lepak corner. Thank you. ;)

[JackRyan1975]

I don't think anyone is being sarcastic here other than those hinting at another's sarcasm. Further away from the truth are the sarcasm that there are uncivil members here. Let's keep to the topic and not on people's attitude. The people here may be nicer than you think they are.

[Jose Mourinho]

I don't think anybody is sensitive except YOU. :D Kwchang has asked for feedbacks and so please give feedbacks, not comments on other people's posts or we would be getting nowhere. Yes? No?

[Jose Mourinho]

I agree with you Jack. I think Peter is seeing sarcasm everywhere. I don't know why though. The same applies. Kwchang has asked for feedbacks and thus Peter should give his feedbacks, and not muddy the water with his comments on other people's posts.

:)

[mon]

Personally I've never doubted Chang's abilities as a moderator. It's not an easy job and it does take up his time and could get pretty exhausting.

But then, this is a community forum, many of whom call this place their 'second home'. We have to practise one common ownership and share this community as a whole regardless of age.
And perhaps, thru small talks, what seemingly called 'idle chit chats', may lead to big talks. Who knows. And it's true, most of us come only to the Main Forum.

This is the place for EVERYONE. It is an uneasy feeling since the removal of only certain threads to Lepak Korner. Even Korner is deliberately spelt wrongly. It has become a little too complex so why not make life simpler. Can we?
:)

[Jose Mourinho]

Thank you, Mon. That, at least, is a constructive feedback. Unlike a few others who like to stir a hornest's nest by making veiled remarks at other's sensitivity and sarcasm (when their real intentions to to cause disharmony and mischief).

[Firefly]

How about adding lepak as a sub thread in here?

and Chang, firefly don't like the New Posts button. when firefly replies something, have to select the New Posts button again...connection slow and refresh lagi slower....end result...surf else where. :(

[kokomo]

Ok. Let's just say if our threads are not being move back to main forum is oke. At least change the name of sub-forum. Lepak really don't sound nice. Hmmm .. maybe can be change to Small Talk Cafe? :confused: Cos if this arguement cont. sooner or later might need to catergories by age in this forum as well. Senior Citizen Corner & Junior Corner :eek:

I really don't want to see ourselves being separated so cleary this section is for who and so to enter. Purpose of this usj.com is to bring in people younger generations to come join wif older generations .. sharing knowledge and opinions of both ends. Otherwise old will alwiz remain old and young remain young .. can't blend in you know.

If any of you hv a better suggest to change the sub-forum name to another please do so. Rather than biting at one another's neck here wif sarcasm.

Peace! :cool:

[Jose Mourinho]

I agree with Kokomo. Since Kokomo and his young group of friends (and I am proud to call them friends) have all but agreed to be unceremoniously moved to a sub-forum, then would Kwchang please do so. But please move all other so-called idle and chat threads as well as a show of consistency and fair play. After all these two words are key when it comes to one's integrity. Yes?

PS Kokomo. What about organising another get-together to celebrate our eviction and moving into a new home?

[kwchang]

OK, so the active members have spoken and silence from the others would be taken as being ready to accept the decisions.

I now understand that the popular entrance to our virtual home is through the main forum and it seems people will find it hard to navigate further than that. I agree that Cupid Club and the avatar thread is indeed popular and do a lot to the good of our community interactions and hence rightfully should remain in the main forum. So it shall be. Do check there if you find it missing in the lepak corner this time.

If anyone had taken the move of some threads to lepak korner as a slap, then my apologies are due for the negative connotations as it was only meant to put all the similar threads in one area for easy search.

Our HOME
You people remind me of Steven Spielberg. If you remember his movies, the "homes" depicted are usually heavily cluttered. Check out "ET" for example ... that was the first movie that struck me that the typical home on widescreen is indeed much like mine - a complete mess where only the owner can find where he last dropped his car keys or the TV remote! Nonetheless the "home" was always warm and cosy. Perhaps we should retain this warm, cosy and messy disorder in our virtual home. Yes, you members of our household can miraculously navigate and find your favourite threads. Welcome home.

[Jose Mourinho]

I agree with Kokomo. Since Kokomo and his young group of friends (and I am proud to call them friends) have all but agreed to be unceremoniously moved to a sub-forum, then would Kwchang please do so.

I retract this comment in view of Kwchang's latest post.

Peace! :cool:

Vampires on the loose..? :) I guess we shouldn't call this sarcasm. Many were just sharing and giving their views on what constitutes a 'community forum'. There should be a degree of distinctness to it. People who are just out to make decisions based on their personal likes and dislikes are far more harmful..one person did just that. Adolf Hitler. :D

Spot on, Mon. :)

Once again, thank you Chang for your fair judgement here. :)

Mon, I shall rephrase my word sarcasm to sharing views. Peace ya! From Gentle Mafia. :cool:

So Jose, still wanna celebrate a get-together for moving back into old home which is just renovated? :D

[mon]

Peace Mafia. :D

[HTH]

Thank you, Chang :)

[JackRyan1975]

Thanks for reverting to status quo, Chang.

I guess change management is not as easy as one thinks it is. There are countless literature on this subject matter but resistance is still a tough cookie to chew on. Cheers.

[Jose Mourinho]

Thank you, Kwchang.

Further to Jack's comment on Change Management. Sometimes it is easier to know why change or transformation fails after the fact. John Kotter, Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School, has this to say: In failed transformations, you often find plenty of plans and programs, but no vision (Harvard Business Review, March-April 1995).

[Jose Mourinho]

So Jose, still wanna celebrate a get-together for moving back into old home which is just renovated? :D

Ah. Why not? If somebody would help me with the wheelchair. :)

[JackRyan1975]

Ah. Why not? If somebody would help me with the wheelchair. :)

Can I indulge you a motorised one? It whizzes around better.

[Jose Mourinho]

No. Thank you. I am terrified of speed. I won't mind if Angelina Jolie pushes the wheelchair slowly though, and every few minutes, bends over me to adjust my shawl or blanket.

[kokomo]

Ah. Why not? If somebody would help me with the wheelchair. :)

No worries Jose, I alwiz help ppl wif wheelchair. Just tell me you want it at what speed? Heheh .. :cool:

Jack, in one of Jose's post .. he mentioned that he drives a car. SO I guess he is no speed demon on a motor. ;)

[Jose Mourinho]

Jack, in one of Jose's post .. he mentioned that he drives a car. SO I guess he is no speed demon on a motor. ;)

What speed demon? An old man with failing eye-sight in his 20-year-old car?

[JackRyan1975]

No. Thank you. I am terrified of speed. I won't mind if Angelina Jolie pushes the wheelchair slowly though, and every few minutes, bends over me to adjust my shawl or blanket.

You can put the motorised wheelchair to 'stupid mode' and still have Angeline push you around. You can then put her on the wheelchair and turn it back to 'smart mode' where it can make her do a pole dance for you.

[kokomo]

What speed demon? An old man with failing eye-sight in his 20-year-old car?

We call that speed demon without fear, cos he NO FEAR in everything & anything.

Strange topic for a newspaper editorial (http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&col=968350116795&c=Article&cid=1144101012301&call_pageid=968256290204), but interesting in its own way.
At 2 minutes and 3 seconds after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

It will happen just this once in our lifetime.
Cheers, m

It depends. I heard from Serena of Underworld that a vampire lives forever.

[kress]

live forever yes but she can never go back thru time since 2006 only comes once.

[Jose Mourinho]

She can. Remember that she can run back her life like the re-winding of a tape and re-lives 2006 again and again and again.

:)

[kress]

you mean like that girl from the ring? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0178868/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9cmluZ3 V8ZnQ9MXxteD0yMHxsbT01MDB8Y289MXxodG1sPTF8bm09MQ__ ;fc=1;ft=23;fm=1)

Which ring ar? Is she pretty or not? I am talking about Serena in Underworld ar. The ultimate vampire.

[jpostill]

LONG LIVE LEPAK KORNER!!! I agree with the general view on the Web Forum being the heart and soul of USJ.com.my; this is where we all find the critical mass that keeps the threads going :) Well done, chang, jose, etc, I thought for a moment we'd be left with no idle chatter.

[expat1609]

Good comments (including the tongue-in-cheek ones by Jose).
I will certainly add the other stuff to the lepak corner.
Hey, if everyone of you people lepak here all day, who is turning the wheels of industry that runs this great country of ours?

like that looks good to me, in the forum it is lepak korner :confused:

shouldn't it be korner lepak in that case ?

hope not to get goreng pisang for that remark :D ;)

[SunwayKid]

Let's get one thing right people.

This is Selene, the vampire who I offered my neck to anytime, some threads back.

http://www.canmag.com/images/front/movies2005b/underworld22.jpg that is Serena......http://www.caricaturesbylisa.com/images/Serena%20Williams.jpg

[orchipalar]

OK, so the active members have spoken and silence from the others would be taken as being ready to accept the decisions.

Our HOME...messy disorder in our virtual home.... Welcome home.Err...dear Chang:)...hope ya have not forgotten about Orchi...:D

[Teeque]

eh...what happened? everything status quo ar? aiseh...just when i thought i had tuned myself to use the 'new post' button...which did get a little cumbersome leh...

[kwchang]

Well, status quo for the moment.
Am open to suggestions on how to use the lepak corner
Perhaps a new name? Like chataway or the chat lounge?

New suggestion for you people to consider ...
We maintain the threads in the main forum so long as the interest and momentum is still at fever level. Once it begins to cool, we move it to this chat sub-forum so that no one lose track of it ... anything becoming stagnant in the main forum will sink to oblivion.

Errr... Orchi, so as not to leave you out, please give your 2 sen's worth here as well. Where were you when those blokes and gals went beserk this morning?

[SunwayKid]

......when those blokes and gals went beserk this morning?

Eh...Chang, not all lah. Some agreed with you, but support for the other side was too overwhelming until perhaps it scare other forumers off. I sokong your new suggestion and perhaps a vogue name like Chit Chat or something similar would sway the vote in favour. :)

[Jose Mourinho]

Please name the mischief makers here.

[Jose Mourinho]

Of course you do. I won't expect anything else. :)

[SunwayKid]

Of course you do. I won't expect anything else. :)


...............The same applies. Kwchang has asked for feedbacks and thus...............should give....feedbacks, and not muddy the water with his comments on other people's posts.
:)

Need i say more. :p

[Jose Mourinho]

No. You need not said more. I think you are paranoid. I actually paid you a compliment. The forum is big enough for both of us. You leave me alone and I leave you alone. And that includes snide so-called innocent remarks.

[SunwayKid]

Let's not resort to calling each other names so early in the morning.

May you have a pleasant day. :)

[Jose Mourinho]

Oh. All my days are pleasant. You know why? I never let imbeciles and morons affect me. Now. I am not referring to you. Seriously. I am not. You have a pleasant day too.

:)

That's a good and practical idea taking into account the flow and momentum of this forum. I applaud you for being a dynamic moderator and it is not easy to maintain this effort as it takes time and effort to monitor the pulse of a forum. If i is not monitored, a forum can be filled with a mountain of spams that could cloud the more useful issues.

Talking c__k, craps & gossips within limits, are part and parcel of the usual community forums and they are fillers and effective in establishing bonds amongst members. Jokes (the dirtier the better, limited here?) are also effective in breaking barriers.

However, we should gravitate towards some sort of order somehow, somewhere sometime.

"Lepak Korner" do not have good vibrations, perhaps this the reason why there is so much resistance to it. I would not want to post there too with that sort of name. Better names could be "Kopitiam", "Warong Kopi", "Teh Tarik", "Cheers", "Beer Talk", "Beer Garden", "USJ Pub" or perhaps, just "Talk c_ _k Corner" , or the likes.

I pity your bloodshot eyes and would prefer you to have more rest. I don't see why you should be overly-concerned with these threads e.g. whether they are at "fever level" (how to objectively measure that anyway?) and to ponder moving it to a sub-forum. If it sinks to oblivion in the main forum, that is because the forummers has lost interest in it and it should be left as such as in any other threads.

I think it is loud and clear already that there should be no double standards. If the threads belong to the sub-forums, just move ALL the threads there. But not selectively. Or else leave them alone. Hope the bad habits as demo by the umno government won't transpire here.

Ahem...come to think of it...it could consider to name the appropriate category as The Chatters' Corner...

n the way Orchi sees it...it would NOT be a bad idea to move those threads to 'Happenings n Events' or someplace like that...ahem...as there are ONLY so many regular chatters...of whom have participated in those threads...lately.

n these are MOSTLY the active forumers...that have also contributed their thoughts n opinions...quite regularly in most of the threads of the mainforum...

Err so...for many others whom may not be interested in chats...they would still stick to reading n contributing...to the mainforum... :)

Orchipalar. You lost me there. I haven't got a clue what you were on about but then it could be entirely my fault as I did not take my gingko this morning. Whatever it is, I have no problem with it. However, Maxima's dictum applies (Post #108). If we move one, we move all.

[orchipalar]

Err...this way...more important community issues...would NOT be bumped out of the sights n attentions of so many other readers... :)

I agree. But Maxima's Dictum still applies. You don't agree?
