The Singles Club(cos licking monkey balls is better than a relationship) Manifesto 1) We, the members of the Singles Club, are a group of elite SINGLE* people. We do not need partners to define ourselves or make our lives worthwhile. 2) We shall strive at all times to support all other members of the Singles Club, and other Single people, be they members or non-members, in the quest to have a fulfilling life without resorting to having an 'other half' 3) We shall also strive to support any member who feels unhappy because of previous partners, and remind them how much more fulfilling life is without someone to pester you all the time, eat your special ice cream, to take up all the bedsheets..etc. Now we can eat curry in bed whilst doing a back flip and flirting with Donald Duck. If we want. 4) We shall at all times laugh at couples publicly displaying affection, even if it is only amongst ourselves. And unless its a wedding. Weddings are different. Bonus points for any Singles Club member who moons a wedding. 5) The Singles Club challenge shall be a weekly challenge as organised by the committee. Any member who completes the challenge shall be awarded a prize. 6) The Singles Club Ninja identity is not to be revealed upon pain of.....carrot insertion! And also exclusion from the club. Which is much worse. 7) You shall be excluded from the Singles Club upon attachment to a mate. Whilst contact may be kept with all members, coming to Single Club events, ESPECIALLY if you bring said partner, is strictly prohibited. 8)The Singles Club will provide a regular meeting ground and group outing every week, its aim is not to keep people single or to find them partners but simply to have FUN! 9)Blatant whoredom is encouraged, as is celibacy. We have the right and power to try anything once, with anyone, especially if it causes comedy at the expense of couples. We are not here to try and break couples up. Unless the entire singles Club and all its members believes that the couple in question is evil and should be destroyed. 10) The tenth rule of singles club is you do not talk about singles club. To couples. Or to the uninitiated. We are ELITE remember? Like those secret societies you had as kids with the special handshake? That's us. Only cooler. *Single: Having no relationship that could be construed as boyfriend/girlfriend. Having no regular intercourse with the same partner, individual situations to be considered by the committee If you want an official commitee position, sign up now! We especially need a chief tart (i'm president, by the way  )

um,  , i dont know if i should put a link here to the originals singles thread, but seeing as you know its there there's probably not much point, oh well, here it is anyway i'm not totally sure this new thread was nessesiary, but when the mods find it i suppose they can decide doesnt making this 'elite' club available on HoP kind of destroy rule 10?

Give it another month and you can put me down as "Patron saint of single people". I should fulfill all the requirements by then.

Seems like an OK thread to me, the only thing it seems to have in common with the 'singles' thread is that it's for singles 
It's well-titled, the intro post is well written and sets out a clear intention of what the thread is supposed to encompass, and seems to be emphasising the positives of being single (clearly distinguishing it from the other thread).
Having looked at the pre-existing big 'singles' thread, I've got to say that the intro post to this one, contains considerably more real content than the first two pages of the old one, which seems to consist mainly of cliquey one-liners.
icklepurklegirl- maybe your thread will get deleted, if it does do, i'd like you to know that not everyone here has failed to appreciate your effort.

Why?
Because:
1. The member title is "Newbie" which indicates that they haven't made many posts. (This is the only post I've seen by them) and they obviously aren't really bothered about first impressions.
2. There is no indication that s/he is joking about laughing at people in relationships.
3. S/he obviously has had problems in the past with partners, and is starting yet *another* thread to b!tch about them. *yawn*
4. S/he justifies breaking a couple up, which I HATE. Even if it wasn't meant seriously, I do actually take offence at that. See how much you laugh when someone is trying to do it to you. I don't care what anyone says, you don't screw with other people's relationships. You don't laugh at them, you don't make snide comments and you don't try to break them up. Ever.
5. The fact that there is another "Singles" thread on the front page of chat shows that s/he obviously doesn't pay much attention, or read the site rules. Considering the numbers of threads that have been shouting about this recently, I'm suprised that not everyone is doing a search before posting (or at least scrolling down!).
But hey, you have the right to say whatever you want, as do I.

Ummm, lockage arriving?  Is this "lockage"? What is "lockage"?
I dunno, just wanted to say "ease up a bit, boyo". Yep, s/he is a newbie, so as far as all the "rules violations" maybe giving them a bit of a less harsh introduction would be nice. You are coming on a bit strong mate.
Also, when new you do tend to do a limited amount of posts at first, an exploratory thing. So it becomes a little difficult to draw a conclusion based on that info.
I found the original post funny. I wasn't going to post a response to it, because I didn't have a strong reaction. And yet you did. You mentioned in particular that you felt it was "justifying breaking up a couple". I didn't read it that way, I read it as "we are not trying to break them up" (this was actually repeated, although with the humourous rejoinder about mean couples). So I am wondering, you have accused this person of being bitter and twisted about relationships, doesn't your reaction suggest a bit of pot and kettle?
Anyhow, on the main part of the subject I am a bit "meh, don't care". I try to enjoy my life in all its aspects (happy/sad, in love and out). These threads all just seem a bit "blah" to me.

To me, the fact that she's a newbie is all the more reason not to be rude.
Constructive critisism yes, but crying out for the deletion of a thread she's obviously put thought and effort into, is, IMO, in need of justification.
And I don't see how comparisons with the other thread constitute grounds for critisising this one- what other connection, other than the fact they have 'singles' in the title, is there?
Your point about it seeming hostile to couples is fair enough; then again, in a culture like ours where being single is portrayed as akin to being ill (it happens to everyone but hopefully they'll get over it and become 'normal' again), it's not suprising that occasionally people kick back.
Whatever you think of that, IMO, it's a point to be discussed, not grounds for deletion.

lol, and this is why the first reply in this thread stated: "i'm not totally sure this new thread was nessesiary, but when the mods find it i suppose they can decide" so how bout everyone just chills and btw sethis, the fact that icklepurklegirl more or less quoted rule one and two of fight club would suggest to me that its meant to be taken light-heartedly  calm thyselves
