Title: Forum Split FTL!
Post by: Melissa on November 13, 2006, 05:03:07 PM: The Hot Dog Bar + Gaming Forum = I don't like it.

I usually check the gaming forum and bail. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, and I'm not looking to change anything - I just liked it better the old way.

Post by: demi on November 13, 2006, 05:04:19 PM: I don't like it either. There is not a big enough community to concern with split areas. Even OA has a bigger community and doesnt have a split area.

Merge them back.

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 13, 2006, 05:04:32 PM: Its on probation, so we'll see.

All I know is I do a lot more clicking. I do see more gaming topics created and they are staying on topic however. It will be a shame to lose that if we merge again :(

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 13, 2006, 05:07:09 PM: I think it needs to be given a chance, fail or not. I mean you guys cried for it, and you got it. Now ya dont like it. However you cant begrudge us for trying.

I for one dont care ALL that much, but again, i think the discussions will lose focus on the general board thanks to all the shenannigans.
Title: Re: Forum Split FTL!
Post by: TVC15 on November 13, 2006, 05:07:21 PM: No way, this is better. Even though this forum isn't as active as the other one, I like that game discussions aren't pushed off the first page in five minutes by a barrage of wacky topics.

Who cares if it's a little slower moving? Stop by this forum once an hour. At least there's a place for only game discussion.

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 13, 2006, 05:09:08 PM: Well majority will rule in this case. There are plans to keep it going till January. At which point we will decide what to do with it.

Unless of course administration feels inspired to jump the gun on the great experiment, which again, I dont care about ;)

Cheebs: you know I can't. Im not a sponsor of in-fighting lol.

It truly is bothersome to go out and in of a forum to get to another. Especially since We've only got like 20 or so posters that actually post.

You are truly fucking lazy, come on. Two, three more mouse clicks isn't going to fuck up your wrists any worse than the years of self-abuse you've put your penis through.
Title: Re: Forum Split FTL!
Post by: MrAngryFace on November 13, 2006, 05:12:46 PM: Well my main problem is knowing where to put a few of my threads. Im a mod and I could do what I want, but it would immediately be spammed with MOVE TO GAMING forum by Dark Shake and his crew of misfits so wtf do I do there.

Honestly I get more RESPONSES to gaming threads in the GAMING FORUM than I did when everything was on one forum. However it is clear the forum traffic is somewhat split between the two forums. Which means a lot of people are posting meaningful replies for SOME reason when gaming threads are on a gaming forum.

Honestly I dont see Melissa post that much in the Gaming Forum anyway. I think it would be a better idea to ask the Gaming Forum posters what they think.

I know it doesnt make the users browsing this forum list as impressive as it has been in the past, but I am honestly tired of watching my gaming threads sink like a god damned rock.

Post by: TVC15 on November 13, 2006, 07:02:21 PM: I would've never made my Viva Pinata thread if it weren't for the gaming forum. Why bother to put effort into something if it's going to be on the front page for just a few minutes. Even MAF's weekly gaming threads, pre-gaming forum, would end up just being an extension of the silly nature of the then-unnamed Hot Dog Bar.

I don't get the rush to kill it off. Some people like it, some people are using it.

I'm not enamored with it so far and I don't know if I have the discipline to keep it going for as long as originally planned, but I will give it a fair shake.

So basically you've already written it off after 3 days and plan on killing it before the originally planned probation time of January?

Again with the persecution complex, you forum diva. Nowhere in there did I say I had written it off, nor do I plan on killing it off before January.

I said I'm not enamored with it, and I don't know if I have the discipline to give it such a lengthy probation period, but that I will give it a fair shake.

So shut the fuck up and make more Viva Pinate threads :-*

I dunno but if you're not sure you're - ahem - disciplined enough to keep it going as long as originally planned, you probably shouldn't say you're , uh.... *doing air quotes like I was fuckin' Lucille Bluth* "[going to]give it a fair shake".

I know White Man already mentioned that, but I just wanted to call your attention to it once again.

(http://opa-ages.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/btw.gif) My birthday is January, among other things - try to give it that fair shake until then, k?
Title: Re: Forum Split FTL!
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 13, 2006, 08:07:47 PM: My birthday is in January too. Let's have a double date birthday party.

And - yes - the plan is to keep the forum until then. My thought process on it is that if it's completely dead by next month, it might be hard to keep it going another month.

I'm not going to kill it this week.
Title: Re: Forum Split FTL!
Post by: Human Snorenado on November 13, 2006, 08:09:21 PM: I TOTALLY support the gaming forum. Hell, I've posted more in the past couple days at the 'bore's gaming forum than I have in the previous year at neocrap. It definitely helps that the people there are better posters than the rank and file at the other place, but the point is that if we eliminate that outlet, the gaming threads in the Hot Dog Bar/general discussion will just sink without a home of their own.

Also, put me in the column of "the Hot Dog Bar is a dumb name" camp. Call it the "Sausage Fest" or "Random Randomness".

Yeah, but you're a filthy Republican. You may do a contest to rename The Hot Dog Bar, but you will attach a rider to shut down the gaming forum and lower minimum wage.

Also, my birthday is in January, too.

Post by: Mondain on November 14, 2006, 01:30:19 AM: keep the gaming forum, this forum has far too many pointless replies already

im not a fan of GAF OT's humor, and in the hot dog bar this is nearly all there is, so im posting almost exclusively in gaming

give it a few months and the gaming forum could be pretty fucking sweet, it's a great asset to keep for the reasons many have said previously... itll add a lot of credibility to this board

and since most posters here seem to post almost exclusively for OT content, well for them it should be a good thing that they aren't encumbered by gaming threads
