Nolan Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm probably in the minority here, but I think this thread should be locked. I was thinking the same thing this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Any word yet on when these changes are gonna come in or possibly what they will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Gradually as time has gone on we've kind of changed our opinions to "nothing needs to change..." UIG is popping up in different forms. Only PYP isn't being replaced as such, although we need to figure out how best to bring it back with a kind of "trivial (but not too trivial) purchases but anything interesting can be posted as new threads" vibe...but with a better name.

Happenstance Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Ive gotta admit its kind of annoying that as this whole thing has gone on apparently you havent listened to the opinions on the normal forum users, just how you guys want the forum to be. Most people have been happy with the changes but have missed certain threads. I know I keep seeing say funny pictures or videos I want to post but im not making a new thread for each one. I do think the Images thread needs to come back, there was nothing wrong with it before being there for general user images. Ive spoken to a couple of people who just dont like the forum as much anymore with the way this whole thing has been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Ive spoken to a couple of people who just dont like the forum as much anymore with the way this whole thing has been done. I've noticed a decline in my posting, I guess it's because I used the HWYD topic for my general day to day rambling that isn't worth its own topic. Also the music thread has gone, I don't see the point making a topic about a new song I like because it'll get shot down or ignored. At least it would get ignored in the sea of elitism of the already made topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not not listening, we're just lazy/busy.

I can kind of understand the desire for a 'general images'. Its about finding the balance really.

Happenstance Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 We're not not listening, we're just lazy/busy. When you answer questions with: Gradually as time has gone on we've kind of changed our opinions to "nothing needs to change..." What am I supposed to think really? Also if this isnt anything to do with you and from what ive seen its a mod thing. Why is it happening in the first place? On every other forum you go to moderators are there to "police" the forum, not make decisions on how its run etc. Thats an admins job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) When you answer questions with: What am I supposed to think really? Also if this isnt anything to do with you and from what ive seen its a mod thing. Why is it happening in the first place? On every other forum you go to moderators are there to "police" the forum, not make decisions on how its run etc. Thats an admins job. We've not been compelled to change because it seemed to be working. There had been no questioning, until tonight, about its effectiveness. If we had people saying every day "ITS JUST NOT WORKING!" then we wouldn't have been thinking "nothing needs to change". And this forum is different from others. Its less admins = managers, mods = supervisors and more admins = owners/regional managers mods = managers in some regards (if we're going through a retail analogy). In other words, we're not like everyone else. Changes (in the vague form of the word) were discussed and we all felt like something had to happen, it was just mods who put it into place.

Ashley Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 And then not posted in, thus nobody wants big threads :p I jest, I jest. See my edited link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 But people were mentioning it lots and complaining about it constantly, until they were told to shut up as you supposedly knew about it already and were going to talk about it behind the curtains... So now you're saying we should start complaining again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit, I've not been following the general forum going on the last few weeks, what with taking over the site while working full time and planning my move to London. I apologise. But I can assure you, I have been the one championing actual discussion behind the scenes. I warn you Ashley.....I may kill you one day I always figured I'd end up murdered. And to clarify, by "I don't care either way" I meant that I have no bias towards any which way, not indifference.

Not you personally but you as part of the big "they" referring to themselves as part of the collective. I also hate my bush being impeached and respond with holy hand grenades. No wonder you're not getting results. Concrete Donkeys are the way to go. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
