Politics Further ideas for the Hell sub-forum

Types of chair, perhaps? Plants? Writing utensils?

What should I have for dinner tonight would be good. I’m still astounded that Scythe94 never plucked that one out and banished it.

I think I would like to see a thread about things that go well together.

I really would actually. BRB

Like the Hell sub-forum and the most insightful threads, you mean?

This really is a meeting of this forum's most insightful minds.

I have decided to take this thread seriously. It occurred to me that there might be some good ideas for sub-forum topics on other team boards. I think there could be some learnings for us by comparing some of the most recent sub-forum topics to those on the Melbourne board. I myself would like to better understand the mindset of Demons supporters and whether it is distinguishable from that of other Australian Football supporters.

So I started my Bigfooty adventure today by examining a selection of recent threads on opposition sub-forums. Because I’m having such a nice time, I would like to take you on my journey. Welcome aboard. I will post my findings as I go along. Note that I will provide a general summary of the kinds of threads for each teams subforum rather than copy each thread name.

I do hope you have a nice time.
