With a circus flair this time. And a modified format.

Conversation:
“Just how many PhD students do we have here, anyway?”
Or people who already *have* their PhD (you lucky sods)...show yourselves!
“Tell me about your penis.”
penis ton Yes in metric you idiot.

In the center ring, Policy & Help performs a death defying cannon firing into the same threads as before!

Head Shop:
“Sport, race, class - can we not knock it?”
As Euro 96 rolls around, let's take a moment from abominating a variety of racial stereotypes

In the ring to your left, Barbelithers take on time travelers and the origins of the universe in The Laboratory!!

Switchboard, a small marsupial that can talk through its nose and tell you Chinese riddles, can be found at the Freak Show.

In the Temple of Moderushu, a crowd from the cult of Camilia gathers to feast on the hearts of mongooses…

Art, Fashion & Design:
“Basic skills for design”
What are the basic skills that an arts student should have?

Books:
“TAZ by Hakim Bey”
is the book different from the on-line version?

Comic Books:
“JLA My Little Pony”
Plastic ponies painted to look like the Justice League.

Film, TV and Theatre:
“Trainspotting (spoilers)”
Key Words: Trainspotting, Ewan McGreggor, Danny Boyle, Irvine Welsh, Scotland, heroin

Music:
“Ray Charles is gone...”
Ray Charles dies at 73 today...
“RIP Ray Charles”
Ray Charles passes away. RIP

Creation:
“CHIAROSCURO”
Shitty zine requesting any submissions!

Gathering:
“SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH”
Attempt to organize meeting in SLC, UT

That’s the end of tonight’s performance. From everyone at the Barbelith Circus, I wish you all, adieu.

So what do we think of this approach?

And now a reminder: could parents please keep their children from playing in the generic sci-fi quarry at the end of the campsite. We think the bloke with the scarf might be a noncer. If they do find themselves in the generic sci-fi quarry, we strongly suggest they not seek help in the Police call box, or they might end up bigger on the inside than the outside.

I think it's alright, to be honest as long as the convo doesn't become clogged up (unlikely). It has caused me to check out a few threads I wouldn't have otherwise. However, I don't think it's essential. If you want something like this as a regualr feature of the board, Spyder, you should start a thread in Policy. Don't know how successful you would be though - I think Tom's initial rationale for taken away the visibility of active topics from outside the fora was to encourage people to dive in and check them out.
