I sort of think it would be cool if we could throw up some sort of function that allowed people to "split their own threads". That is to say, a button where when posting, you could just press this button and you would simultaneously post the post you are posting in the thread it is in, as well as create a new thread in the same subforum with a new title and have a link placed in that post that lead to the new thread.

On the flipside, I actively avoid catch-all threads and am sure I have missed a lot of conversation I would have liked to contribute to about games I was interested in, but fuck if I can be bothered to sort through 200 pages of blather about shit that's terrible.

This pretty much restricts my posting to a few topics even though I look for updated threads a dozen or so times a day.

PS I'm really glad Mongrel is keeping his trolling streak alive by asking if anyone cared about a topic after it got 2 pages worth of posts.

I'm not opposed to this policy because it makes me feel like a terrible poster, though: I'm opposed to it because I actually like reading big dumb dump threads. I like not knowing what I'm going to be reading about, I like reading opinions people are voicing without worrying whether they're inviting a response by voicing them, and I don't want to have to read a dozen different topics (much less a dozen different blogs) in order to get the same content. There are a lot of games and topics I wouldn't bother reading about if they weren't presented as part of a catch-all topic.

This this this this this this this this this. I like browsing. I like reading about people's opinions, and voicing my own. I don't have much to contribute to videogames talk though, being a bad consumer and all. Catchall threads aren't intimidating. I can go into one and immediately latch on to a topic that suits my fancy. They tend to meander into odd places, which is something I enjoy. Focused threads do that too, but there's really no reason for me to go into them in the first place if I don't have anything to contribute that relates to the topic. I never click on a TF2 thread, for example.

Catchall threads are good for casual reading/posting.

I don't think this forum is in danger of having too many posts. The "this isn't worthy thread material, how dare you" angle seems silly, and possibly suicidal.

...
...so I just realized this IS a big dump thread.

I almost split it, but then I realized it's much funnier like this.

I think this one works particularly well as a dump thread, since it's become a history log of opinion on the state of the board. Kinda cool.

Büge · « **Reply #390 on:** March 22, 2010, 03:32:24 AM »

And that's something the admin team could never take away from us.

WELL! I for one am really really looking forward to the dino roar being taken off.
Seriously what the fuck

Kazz · « **Reply #392 on:** March 26, 2010, 09:43:49 PM »

i think it fits the theme

Smiler · « **Reply #393 on:** March 26, 2010, 09:49:25 PM »

I approve of this.

Rico · « **Reply #394 on:** March 26, 2010, 09:54:38 PM »

I was hoping it would work on my phone to bring me a small joy at work, but it does not.

Niku · « **Reply #395 on:** March 26, 2010, 09:55:57 PM »

not loud enough.

Oh, nice -- now TF2 drama affects me, too! Does this mean I finally belong? If so, you're all invited to my place! I can broil up some gardenburgers and we can watch Watchmen for the 108th time while sitting on my couch and talking about GODDAMN IT WHY SUCH A LOUD ABRASIVE SOUND WHENEVER YOU LOAD A PAGE WHAT THE FUCK

Just don't block the entire server, apparently all the css/image files for the board are hosted up on Kazz's shit.
