Notice Vote - Do you prefer more Separate new threads or fewer condensed merged threads

Maybe we could make it so you can start a thread about pretty much anything at any time and then have a watchdog who’s pretty sharp (Sly if that works better for you) that has a group of minions at his disposal that can police and even merge threads as need be.

That system might work decently?

 

Where's the "Lets stop caring so much" option?

 

Careful. If it is a couch people might start fucking it.

 

It's not that simple.

I prefer more topic-specific threads to long-assed merged threads that end up containing multiple topics and take too long to wade through.

Of course, I think most of us can agree that we don't need a new thread for every random thought that pops into someone's head and expresses an opinion that's been covered in other threads. But I find those easy to ignore and if we ignore them they disappear.

IMO the only threads that should be merged are those where two people start a thread on the same topic within a short period of time by accident.

I find people complaining about new threads to be more annoying than the pointless threads themselves.

I say don't worry about the number of new threads and let them sink or swim organically. If you're not interested in a thread, just ignore it. That's what I do.

 

Leave new threads alone for a little while before merging. If a thread has 37 pages on it, I'm not going to sift through it looking for new content that may or may not be there.

 

I was gonna start another thread discussing which subtopics deserve a new thread instead of an old thread being bumped. Since my thought is about determining what shoild be new vs bumped and not about people’s preferences, I think it deserves a new thread. But the last time I create some threads for fun, some people got so pissed, they left the forum!!!


How the hell does anyone get so pissed over new threads or threads being condensed, to just leave the forum?
Always found that odd…

 

Im gonna make my point....just you wait

 

I am fine with multiple threads and mods can just merge threads when needed anyway. I am more annoyed when new and hot threads go off topic, especially when its less than a page.

 

Man, that calamari, amirite?

 

Solid point.

 

Where's the best place in town for calamari?

 

Funny you would ask....

 

YOU RANG FAMS?!?
