Fun Stuff > CHATTER

I pretty much only read 3 threads on this forum

<< < (6/31) > >>

fatty:
If this forum had a  'show latest posts' button, I would basically use that all the time.

I see arguments both in favour and against consolidating forums in the "Other Fun Things' group. I think some consolidation is definitely needed.

Consolidating:
- It's good to be able to see all active topics at once, rather than spread across many forums. It gives more exposure to threads which would otherwise move slowly when hidden in a sub-forum.
- Easier to have discussions about a variety of things instead of being sent off to a sub-forum.
- In a faster moving forum, list threads and boring threads have less hold and fall off the page more quickly, maintaining the quality of the front page threads.

Against consolidating:
- There are specific attitudes/posting styles in specific forums which are provide variety, but are also limiting. The music forum and the discussion forum obviously have quite distinct characteristics. The newb forum must obviously be kept separate from cluttering other fora.
- Slow threads in sub-fora may be flooded by more quick moving threads, special interest threads sustained by only a few interested parties may lose hold.

My proposal:
- Music
- movies/books/art/crafts
- offtopic
- news/discussion
- newb

I think this a wonderful idea, particularly the part where there is no Comic discussion

Jace:
I will read nearly all of the threads in HURR, I go into discuss occassionally, but rarely post. And usually I look at a topic, start to read it, and realize I do not care. I rarely check the music or movies forum at all. But I will check the arts and crafts, comics/drawing occasionally. I go into General Discussion when I want to shit up a thread. I go into the WCT when I want to realize that I actually have a life and it's fucking awesome.

Cartilage Head:
 No videogames section? Fatty hates nerds.

Patrick:
Honestly, I maybe read like 4 or 5 threads on here as well. I bitch about life in the blog thread, I grab shit from the MF thread for like a week and then forget it exists, I go in the guitar thread, and then maybe a couple of threads in General that strike my eye.

(dude Ali, in addition to what Dovey said, there is also a button like that at the top of the page, it's by your avatar. There's also one right below it that shows you all the threads that have been posted in since the last time you posted in them.)
