here's the thing

dump threads are very easy to post in, but nobody will ever read them

they function quite a bit like IRC channels.  there isn't really a topic; everybody will just babble for a few minutes about one thing and then move on.

i'm not closing this thread.  as much as i hate dump threads, this one is probably a decent idea (because it focuses on current events and upcoming bullshit) and would just get replaced by a very similar thread.

the "babble about a videogame" thread was just a poor idea.  if someone wants to discuss a game that there isn't a thread for, they could make a thread and maybe people would actually discuss it.  and then people who want to read about people's opinions on a game can go there and see all the posts on the topic in one spot instead of having to dig through a 200 page dump.

Wasn't the entire idea behind the Babble thread to cut down on pointless go-nowhere threads? And that if there was a conversation in it that actually was going somewhere, that it would get separated into its own thread?

that's the idea, but it's kinda annoying in practice.  A lot of times conversation will get mixed with people posting about several games in a single post, making it impossible to split without breaking up other conversations.

People don't like making new topics, but I don't think it will hurt if we do so.  If people don't talk about a game, it drops off the page and it doesn't get in the way anymore.  I don't think "too many topics" will be a concern on a board this size.

I don't really see how even if there's a bunch of topics with only one post in them on individual games how it might be a bad thing; And if it is messy, I'm sure it's easier for a mod to delete them after it's been shown that noone but the OP cares than to split 5-10 posts out of the dump thread where something else might be discussed simultaneously.

well if the canadian postal system doesn't suck too bad, you'll be able to tell him yourself

Also, I am completely flabbergasted that they are going to all the trouble to set that up and aren't including any pinnies

Although his level and the one before it are kinda stupid at times.  Still great game so far, tho.

The Dragon Age thread is ALREADY too fucking long for me to read top-to-bottom.
