Mr_Odwin Posted August 20, 2010 Author Posted August 20, 2010 What if you make the thread yourself and then rip the posts into it. Then you'll be the op. jay suggested this too, but Ashley shot it down by telling us that posts are still ordered chronologically.
Guy Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Direct all the hate at me please. I'm the insensitive clot.The trouble is that when I thread rip I have a tendency to put what I think are funny thread titles, and then the original poster doesn't find it funny. This also happened with a Dante rip I did a while ago. I'm sorry. I didn't do it maliciously. On the staff board we're discussing better ways to do thread rips. I'll pay close attention. It's really fine. I was just being difficult. It did indeed spawn decent discussion, so I can't really argue there. If it was anyone else I'd probably find it funny too now I think about it, so all is well.
Emasher Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Why not just have the mod who rips the thread edit the OP explaining that its been ripped?
MoogleViper Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Or just have a sensible thread title :P No Odwin's titles are brilliant.
Wesley Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 It should just appear where the "last edited" goes. "Mr_Odwin ripped this post" Simples. *picture of that rat thing*
ReZourceman Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 We need those new thread icons. Shiiiiii that'd be sweet.
nightwolf Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Or just have a sensible thread title :P Or send a message to the person who wrote it first, I'm not sure if that happens, but they do it for name changes, I'm sure it'd be easy to put into practise.
Ashley Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Yeah but its done automatically for name changes, we don't have to do anything :p Will see if theres a modification to do so for Thrips....tomorrow.
Ellmeister Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Yeah but its done automatically for name changes, we don't have to do anything :p Will see if theres a modification to do so for Thrips....tomorrow. Modification? Just go to the doctor, sure there'll be some cream to sort it out Ash. (That wasn't funny I know, I just felt like I needed to say it)
Ashley Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Typically I'd say mod but didn't want people getting them confused with the blue people who cause trouble. Also, shut up.
Nolan Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Typically I'd say mod but didn't want people getting them confused with the blue people who cause trouble. Evil Smurfs?
nightwolf Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Haha, Elli that was brilliant. It just seems like a good idea, so people aren't surprised, it seemed odd to have it for name changes but not new threads, but maybe it's more complicated?
Ellmeister Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Could we not bring back a post your purchases thread? I liked being nosey seeing what people have got, any good offers or buys and its nice to see. Just a thought.
Raining_again Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 I agree, I'm not even too bothered about HWYD or anything else now. I've come around to the new system and I think a lot more fun is to be had now we have a bit more "free reign" in terms of thread creation. but yes. PYP would be nice
Jimbob Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 You had to, didn't you. I forgot about these guys.
Ashley Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Just a thought. *looks at Username* *looks at statement* *looks at Username* *looks at statement* *looks at Username* *looks at statement* Something doesn't seem right...
Dyson Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 And once again the question about PYP is dodged >_<
Ashley Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Why the suspicion? It isn't dodged, it IS being talked about intensely behind the scenes. We'll be implementing changes in a week or so. Just because we don't directly answer the same question for the 40th time doesn't mean we aren't aware. Fuck off. Fuck off to Reading you!
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I'm probably in the minority here, but I think this thread should be locked. It's served its purpose, and it's getting annoying as hell to read. We know which threads we/people/others want back, and I'm sure the staff are tired of reading the same three posts reworded over and over. What purpose does it serve now? I think most people have shared their views.
