SOFT, a place for angsty teenagers?

[DoubleBlade]

I don't know about you guys but suddenly Soft seems to be a place for angsty teenagers.

We get threads like "I'm desperate and I really want to find a girlfriend badly" to the likes of "Omgggggggggg this girl leaned on my shoulder on the train....oh wait I forgot it happened in KL".


Personally I don't mind if there was just 1 or 2 threads posted by these angsty teenagers but somehow I feel that there will be more to come....

I don't think Soft is an appropriate forum for voice out such angsty thoughts and emotions. There are other more applicable forums on the net like sgforums and flowerpod etc.

What are your thoughts about such threads?

 

[Gr3yF0x]

hahah. there's always aunt agony at sgforums.com but i guess perhaps some of us just prefer to hear the opinions and advice of our fellow softies. there are afterall more music threads than these teenage angst threads

 

[Godspeed64]

Its called MUSIC Kopitiam.. Keyword, MUSIC..
Hence, all discussion should be kept to MUSIC-related issues only..
That's my thoughts.. If you need a place to share such thoughts, go to other forums..
Hardware zone has the Eat-Drink-Man-Woman section for such issues..

 

[lepak]

well said hahaha. Musiccc is the theme here. hahahah not sexually topics..

i think its alright, giving a more casual feel to the forum.

but still, maybe a different segment of the forum can be created for these discussions.

I think its good for these threads to pop out once in a while. We can have a break from all those talks about musical stuffs otherwise this would be a rather boring forum. If we can help them solve their problems, why not? Then this forum would prove itself more useful then it is intended to be. =X Besides, ppl are enjoying in these threads aren't they?
Juz a penny of my thoughts. No offence (=

the pit?like UG.

I always found those threads a source of comic entertainment...

Well i think DoubleBlade has a point, but lets not make haste and throw the teenage issues out the windows...

We can... simply ignore them and not give them the attention they crave. Or, take 5 mins of your time and flame them, hoping they will mature faster.

but the threads never fail to go off track.

Exactly.. It is fun to read up on it.. Just in another forum.. Change Music Kopitiam to just Kopitiam?

 

[shaneypants]

I think personal problems and all should be kept private. I don't get why you want the world to know about how you CAN'T get a girl and all. Really reflects a lot on a person.

 

[shinobi]

it used to be kopitiam, before james changed the forum software i think

in a way, even this thread can be considered an angsty thread an angsty thread slamming angsty threads? is this really necessary?

if you are hard up for strictly music related threads, there is always gigs and concerts, open mic, the drums, guitar and bass subforums

and who said soft has to be restricted to music? don't we have a sports and fitness subforum?

take a chill pill man

 

[Ihavebecomea]

this thread is also not music related,lol.
ha.ha.ha

 

[kerplunk182]

Btw, this should be posted under feedbacks and suggestions.

 

[Nicholasim]

i dont think its a place for angsty youths. but these few days, a lot of retarded stuff comes up.. and some people spamming the boards hoping to get higher posts numbers for whatever reasons which really pisses people off.

 

[shinobi]

retarded stuff is fun sometimes. just don't spam the buy/sell. i demand that the buy/sell be split into the 'buy' forum and the 'sell' forum. i will bring this up
