I am starting a new thread that is about other threads. You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central
here are some examples of comments that comes to mind:
* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.
or,
* this is the best thread.. fuck the others..
or,
*****Thread Alert******
read the -----thread yet??? there is a dog fight going on between ----- and-----.it is about gondolas and pollution in Venice..see you there.
or,
* yeaah, i don't read that thread either. its kind a boring.
or,
*i am thinking about starting a discussion about ------------- ---- ---- will you guys in Thread Central post in it and say wow it a great thread?. it was about time 'somebody' (insert my name please) picked up on it.. and discuss it?

Architphil - thanks for joining the fray and putting gb in his place. (sigh) and the kid is still in school - you'd think a smart young punk who has been lurking around here for a while (enough to know some of the places that I've lived) would know the decorum of discussion threads... how can you compare (let's ban maplethorp ass-backwards southern ohio) cincinnatti, with philthydelphia or the mini-apple? In his sherlockholmsing, he missed that I've lived in LA for longer then those other places. Yeah, and I spent 4 years in ohio too.

Thanks for the notice, architphil, and good response. Treekiller I love your snarky first comment, too. Reminds me of a responseone time by our much-admired Steven Ward awhile back, when someone started a thread with a long passionate rant about passion in architecture, how it is an art form that reaches deep into our beings and yet we have to manifest it from within the chains of professional practice and we should rise up against that tyranny etc etc. Steven was poster #1 with the response "Do you feel better? Now get back to work."
I laughed my butt off at that one.

"if you have to ask, then don't leave ohio."
treekiller
i wouldn't quite throw myself on your sword falling off your high
horse yet...true, the kid could easily do some research..but on
the other hand is there any reason to post the kind of response
that you gave other than to be an ass? i don't think so. if you're
not going to be helpful than why not just type nothing?
of course his question is broad and disinteresting i'll give you that,
but maybe he was looking for a listing of firms that wouldn't be in
the yellow pages or wouldn't come up on a first search or previous
thread.
sometimes it seems to me that people around here forget how it
felt starting out. thankfully we either all learned quick..or better yet
had someone that at least gave a small bit of advice in an attempt
to be helpful before writing us off.
just my 2 cents

Sep 25, 06 2:46 pm
i think it's pretty fucking funny. he didn't need to be so bristly, it's not like he posted any contextual info. if you want people to help you, help them help you...
anyway, steven: a) i hope you're still alive and enjoying architecture
b) are you also "notpercorell"? i caught something somewhere about a basement flood...
treekiller
Sep 25, 06 2:50 pm
e- so where can I buy some?
lars- it was supposed to be funny and to goad the poster into providing more information... but now GB has finally revealed enough info so we can help him.

funny how telling your current firm you are moving to another state goes...needless to say, i have to work some time on saturday to help a project get back on track....good thing i don't run the world or else you'd all be fucked, as it seems all the bad things one imagines happening at moments like that never materialize and you sit there wondering why you spent all that energy killing yourself over the moment of doom.

In my defense I am finishing out projects at my job, so I have more disposable time to post lately. *ahem.*
also, beta, I totally had the same thing happen last week... breaking up with your job can be so anticlimactic compared to all the anxiety ahead of time!
That's my last day, too. Good luck!

Sep 25, 06 8:28 pm
Oh wow that's such a cute house!!! I am jealous--I've had the homeowner itch lately. Mainly because I just want to DO STUFF to my place and it's hard to work up the justification to do anything to a rental when you know you'll either get burned for it when you move out, or have to put it all back the way it was. Ugh.
It didn't help that I got a letter in the mail from my grandpa today informing me that the 150 year old, huge, dilapidated Victorian house in Oakland my grandparents lived in when I was a little girl is up for sale... I would kill to own it, KILL. That's where I learned how to play golf (in the backyard, into coffee cans buried in the ground), climb trees, and work with wood--my grampa had a little woodshop up on the 2nd floor in a sunny screened in porch. That house is amazing. It even has a tower! I can't believe it's for sale!!
