no... rolleyes

And this is why more than one subject thread was opened, to talk about simple things like what's happening around you and others around you, and technic threads to go over new moves... just think, if all we could talk about here was poi, it would end up going something like this...

"I spun poi..." rolleyes

This is a community... I place to open up... not just to talk about spinning... it may be called "Home of Poi", but the "poi" is only our common ground... it really should just be called "Home". ubblove hug

"Mainstream"? since when is an intelligent discussion of topics that affect all our lives "mainstream"?

"mainstream" is usually quite far away from intelligence...

where i am from at least........

if u wannt to chat about poi and fire u can go to the technical section or stay in your obviously "underground" scene.

is it so "underground" that u have to meet in darkened cellars?



sorry dont mean to p!ss on anybodys shoes but i have BIIG problems with the whole discussions of UNDERGROUND vs MAINSTREAM scene. i went through that in the punk scene back home and it just ended ugly.......



Whats so "mainstream" about hop then?

please clarify......

what are you on my little pickle?!?!?!?!!!

yes we do talk about said 'crap', but alot of people come here to chat to friends that they cant see everyday due to distance etc. and im sorry but i dont know if you just sit around talking about a single topic all the time with your friends because no one i have met ever has!!

as has been said before there are different forums for different discussions.

yes this board has become more popular over time but i see no problem with that, and before this turns into a 'is fire spinning going mainstream or not' thread there are many of them already click the search button.... as long as everyone is haveing fun, enjoying themselves and meeting new people , were is the problem?? ...

so get down form that high horse and come and play juggle weavesmiley hug biggrin biggrin hug weavesmileyjuggle

she who sees from up high smiles

Lighten Up!

As the other guys have said, u can discuss poi and stuff in the other forums, but here is to just kick back, chill and have a chat, or just fool around lots... hence the name of the forum. If u want topics that stick to the subject, go to the Social discussions Forum.

I never go in there. Far to logical for my liking.

The existance of flamethrowers says that someone, somewhere, at sometime said "I need to set that thing on fire, but it's too far away."

i agree with all of the above



in any setting that involves a hobby/interest/activity/etc., people do discuss more than just that particularly commonality. i go to raves, but we all don't just talk about the djs and the lights and the decorations and our previous rave experiences. we get to know each other. i also write poetry and go to poetry readings, but we don't just sit around and discuss grammar. that's how you make friends.



i can't imagine how boring all the various events would be if we never talked about anything but poi. like the party at joe's back in january....we spent a great deal of time spinning and teaching each other new tricks. but we also played games, we chatted, we watched movies, we joked around, we got to know each other.



the boundaries aren't rigid...blur them a little

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Troy, you're such a sweety hug

I've made some really lush friendships through this forum..:*

I love coming on here to just chat with friends and say hello, and spread a little fluffy stuff and pixie sprinkles*:. I come to this sight *for* all that yummy warm fuzzy stuff!*:. And the fact that we all have a common interest is a bonus.:*

This sight has reached people all over the world, from different cultures and backgrounds...all coming together in beautiful unity grouphug

This forum gives us a chance to really get to know fellow twirlers/spinners/jugglers/fire dancers/poi peoples ...whateveres... on a more personal level.... If we were restricted to just the technical stuff or poi/fire related topics, there would be no place for friendly warmth and silly chitter chatter that makes you giggle and smile and brighten up your day... *

ubblove.:*I LOVE HOME OF POI!!!*:. ubblove
It's perfect just the way it is...:* ubbrollsmile
