Ashley Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 As discussed before we've taken into consideration what you want and we'll be bringing back old threads but we'll stagger them a bit, rather than having them all pop up today. Only by a week or so but we're trying to keep this heightened rhythm going. We're still going through a period of change so there will be some adjustments. And if everything ends up back in just a few threads we'll close 'em down again Any comments or criticisms feel free to air them here.
MoogleViper Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 (re-posted from the questions thread) Why has Gotta hush 'em all been locked? Surely this goes against the direction the forum has been going in? I know it was discussed in Black and White but I don't have that game, so I won't go in that thread. But I would have (possibly) discussed the legal issues surrounding it.
Ashley Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Pooki asked it to be. Damned if you do, damned if you don't eh?
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Damned if you do, damned if you don't eh? You're finally catching up! Edited September 20, 2010 by Dannyboy-the-Dane
Jonnas Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Why has Gotta hush 'em all been locked? Surely this goes against the direction the forum has been going in? I know it was discussed in Black and White but I don't have that game, so I won't go in that thread. But I would have (possibly) discussed the legal issues surrounding it. Unless you speak Japanese, of course you don't And the main issue is the fact that the leaked screens come from pirated ROMs. Serebii has a legal copy of the game, so he wasn't warned (we think). It's simple, really. Anyway, since it was Pookiablo who asked for the thread's lock, somebody else may start a thread about that, no?
MoogleViper Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Unless you speak Japanese, of course you don't 私は実際問題として And I'm not intending to get the game either so my point still stands.
Ashley Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Its not a VIP thread, you don't have to show a copy of Pokemon Black or White to enter.
MoogleViper Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Its not a VIP thread, you don't have to show a copy of Pokemon Black or White to enter. I know but my point is that I wouldn't enter that thread. Whereas I would enter a thread in Gen pop about the issue itself.
Ashley Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 So its now our fault you don't explore the whole board? Sheesh!
Beast Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Will Rate The Last Movie You Saw come back? I know I sound obsessed but I lived on that thread, lmao.
Ashley Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Long answer: no. Well, probably not. It was perhaps the third worst thread for sucking up discussions (after HWYD and Music)
Frank Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 ...so...no shape or form of Sexuality thread? ... I thought it was pretty handy and fun for some topics. But if it doesn't come back, I understand.
Dante Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Reopen anime topic and hot people topic please?
Mundi Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Come one... the anime thread? That thing was like 90% Naruto 9% bleach and the rest was someone trying to talk about something else but got lost between all the Naruto posts.

True, but then aside from the studio ghibli films it's hardly like any other animes are going to fare any better with their own thread anyway. Actually, might try now. Also: there has to be some kind of musicy thread! There's nothing! Even I'm ignoring my own attempts at music threadery (spotify playlist)

Only by a week or so but we're trying to keep this heightened rhythm going. Sexuality will probably be back at some point but if anyone is having any serious troubles feel free to start a thread. Or PM someone you trust Anime: As Mundi said it wasn't really an anime thread it was a Naruto thread. Anyone with an interest in that can make a thread. Same for Bleach and any other big ones, although I only really recall them too being discussed. Likewise Manga doesn't have to be lumped in, it can be its own thread. Hot people: Do we really need it? Nobody has mentioned it since it went. Yes its nice to have hotness to look at but really, are we not passed it? This is 2010, everyone knows where to get porn from surely? Music: You ask for "some kind of music thread" then admit you're not posting in "the kind of music thread" that already exists. We're to blame for your laziness? Make new ones. Go crazy!
killthenet Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Would be fantastic if you could bring back the 'Rate the last film...' thread.
Ashley Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 See above. IMDB does have a very extensive forum if that really is your thing. But we'll keep these things in mind. The last thing we want is to just have five threads again. If it seems people are continuing to actively create new threads then maybe they can exist side by side. Even just today Dazz posted something about Joe McElderry in The X-Factor thread. Yes, nobody probably likes him but technically he's not part of the current X-Factor (other than the fact he'll show up at some point). There seems to be this mentality of "oh I want to post this...now which thread can I get it into?"

There seems to be this mentality of "oh I want to post this...now which thread can I get it into?" I just thought people wouldn't exactly talk about him a lot and therefore thought it wasn't worthy of a topic. I think the Joe McElderry topic would be better suited if it were called something else considering the main flow of the conversation in there is about how singers and bands seem to rip off parts from songs.
Ashley Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Once again, we will not shoot people if their threads don't get (m)any responses.
nightwolf Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 It's nice to see the PYP thread back in some form, although hopefully it branches out a bit more. I didn't like the anime thread, I did peek in from time to time and it was pretty overwhelming, abit like the music thread. Are we ever going to have some form of HWYD? I don't mean the actual thread itself, but I did find it quite fun to see what people were up to.
Paj! Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I still have no idea what the word "overwhelming" means in regards to a thread. What were you overwhelmed by? If everyone was talking about something you had no interest in, well, just ask if people like something you do. If you were completely new to anime, just post asking for recommendations etc. I don't understand this mentality of not interrupting perceived conversations.
Shorty Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Come one... the anime thread?That thing was like 90% Naruto 9% bleach and the rest was someone trying to talk about something else but got lost between all the Naruto posts. That's hardly true, if that were the case why did the recent Naruto thread bomb almost straight away? Also the thread wasn't posted often enough to make other discussion get "lost".

Because sometimes people can ignore or be rude, no-one is perfect, sorry I didn't find it as easy to get into the conversation.
