Discussion of Socionics within Alpha subforum has historically been minimal and poor. There was a time in the subforum in which it was almost used entirely for fun and games. Serious topics were pushed into obscurity amid a myriad of non-Socionics threads. Any attempts to call for serious discussion quickly had that person branded as a non-Alpha for being "anti-fun." This subforum was one of the reasons I took a leave of absence from the forum for a while.

This is a high and mighty thread.
ETA: serious socionic discussion is cool. I just think it tends to carry on in the more serious socionic areas, like general discussion. When it gets posted in alpha, people have fun and that's awesome. Here, even where things get addressed there's gonna be some fooling around. kkkkkkkkkkkkk
I have heavy fingers.

Alphas, don't post want you want in this subforum! Post what ephemeros wants to post but hasn't got round to yet!
+2 Alpha Subforum totally sucks!

If you want more serious threads, threads with good Socionics discussions and information, then make them. Nobodies stopping you, and there's plenty of alphas who would get into them. Life is your oyster brother! make it happen.
Ephemeros is a Real Alpha.
Much like a Fake Gamma.
I think appreciating me is an important part of any alpha socionics discussion. Additionally, the Alpha Index (if you even bothered to look at it) is 100% important. It's an index of all the different kinds of threads in the Alpha sub-forum. That includes serious discussions as well.
I think a good point was brought up here. I think a lot of us here in alpha just don't feel like rehashing the same arguments over and over again. Instead we like this space to be relaxing and fun and a place where we feel free to express ourselves and be silly alphas together.

Stickying my appreciate thread (which was BG, not me, btw) was done in jest. It's tongue-in-cheek and not serious. If you want the alpha forum to be 100% serious and the moderation to be 100% serious then I think you might be in the wrong place. BG and I will moderate with seriousness when it's called for, and we do. But we also do things in fun and good humour as well. I would argue that that is in the spirit of this sub-forum.
As for the index, it is official. It is simply a way of organizing what's in the forum. It shows what's already here so that if you want to comment on a topic already raised, you can find the appropriate thread, or if such a thread doesn't exist you can make a new thread instead. It's in no way an attempt to label the sub-forum or express and opinion. It's a way of sorting through the information here without searching through a million images of threads. If that's not an official capacity sticky, I don't know what is.
These sub-forums are not a place to simply discuss issues related to a quadra. If you would like to do so, please feel free. No one is stopping you. I'm not about to delete a serious thread. The fact that there aren't a lot of serious threads here has nothing to do with them being unwelcome, but perhaps is a reflection of the kind of people this sub-forum attracts. That is, many alphas like to come to this sub-forum for a place to relax, and feel free to express themselves naturally without pressure to conform to other types' expectations. The "raison d'etre" is not simply to talk about alpha issues, but also to grant an alpha domain. That includes letting people talk about things that they think other alphas will appreciate.
If Logos or yourself feels the need for more serious discussion or you have something alpha-related you wish to discuss, start a thread about it. But we're not about to stop alphas from being alphas in their own forum. Unless you'd like to try to argue with me that most of the posters here are not alpha and are misrepresenting the spirit of alpha.
P.S. I can't delete the poll entirely, but I closed it for you.
I'll never forgive you.

I'm unaware of anyone coming to alpha subforum for serious discussion of socionics. Alfa is for <3 and fun times.
In summary, have forced intercourse with your sofa, person of color.
hint: rick james.
edit: Actually sometimes I do post questions directed specifically towards alphas. I usually get 3 good comments before it degenerates into typing/personal arguments, and shout outs/flirting between individuals on unrelated topics. I've actually started a previous thread on this phenomenon: How threads work on this forum.
Maybe we could have a "SRS" tag for threads on which kitten pictures are not invited? Ah who am I kidding, I still want the kitten pictures.

Seriously, are you that desperate to post all the time that you have to dig up a thread that's been dead for 9 days, not to contribute anything pertinent, but just to post a picture that's relevant to a joke, but not enough that it really adds anything? I'm sorry to be mean, but this is just a little much.
