- - Possible Historical Forum?? (https://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?t=133141)

I'd enjoy a historical forum too. The badge threads, Happy Founder's Day threads could go there, interesting things about your house (not sure that's how it is worded, but there is a thread like that), is your house haunted, thread about founders' burial sites... we have had a lot of historical type threads.

On a side note, I noticed in a couple of those posts some acronyms I'm not familiar with (I should probably ask my kids this...) but was wondering if anyone here could share?

SEO? And HPRL? (Is that one Happy Pony Rainbow Land? Saw that in my google search),

And one other I've seen a lot of COB?

Thanks.

COB = Continuous Open Bidding

If an NPC group is under Panhellenic Total/Limitation, they can offer a bid to someone anytime during the year. They don't have to wait for a structured Informal Recruitment, for example.

Thanks. When I was in school ( a hundred years ago, or so it seems) acronyms weren't in style....at least not in the context as I've seen on GC over time.

I'm learning!

Friend comes here, sets up an account, and chews on us, tells us what a great guy koBE is, how tech savvy, etc. and how stupid we are (esp. the Coke-Pepsi analogy, not sure if he mentioned WalMart, skimmed his posts b/c he had diarrhea of the fingertips), told us what a great debater he was, yadayadayada, I was like "Oh. Wow. What kind of person writes "I am a great debater"? Really? This is ridiculous! It's like these guys are in 7th grade, let's have an argument and we are gonna have the last word. Then I thought: no thank you" and I went out with my friends and lots of dogs because it was a perfect evening! We played in the park, we had gelato, I missed stock club. Oh well.

The end.

Awesome recap. Thanks!! I missed everything after Flounce #1.

Yep. GC's name for the alternative, kinder and gentler site started by some folks who didn't like the vibe here or got banned here (many, many times). Though it's Happy Rainbow Pony Land -- HRPL.

Ohhhhh, I would absolutely ADORE a historical forum! What fun that would be. :) :) :)

I'm all about history - History Forum, bring it on!

Let's leave out Duck Dynasty or American Pickers type stuff, though. History, they're not.

American pickers is a good show, much better than duck dynasty....and I keep waiting to see if they come across any old fraternity or sorority items! (Same with Pawn Stars!)

On a serious note......the thread that got deleted about a new forum....the reference kept coming up about a Pepsi vs coke thing....I want to know, what is GC? "Pepsi", or "Coke"??

Just wondering because, personally I prefer Pepsi products..... ;)

Duck Dynasty is historical...that's many years of swamp interbreeding on display

But...an old picture/etching thread would be nice to have too

I would love a Historical Forum! Count me in!

There is a historic Sigma Nu badge in one of the cases at the Pawn Stars shop. I don't think they'll ever put it on TV. They had the price fairly low when I was last there...don't think they know anything about fraternity jewelry. Don't get your hope up.
