the OT forum is still too full

[Pellaken]

I've suggested, atleast 100 times, that we somehow split the OT forum... but since no one likes that idea, I will not suggest it again. instead, I'm looking for ideas. how do you guys think we can better handle the traffic on the OT forum?

 

[floppa21]

How is it "too full"??? It's always been busy...

 

[TrailblazingScot]

Complete nonsense...retain the status quo!

 

[Dell19]

We only need to create new forums for niche threads that tend to disappear quickly, yet still have a high demand...Other than that it may as well be left as it is...

A pokemon thread? I choose YOU PELLAKEN!!! How we can better handle the traffic eh? Maybe it's a hardware question...

To busy.....

I can remember when the same threads stood for a week and more on page one.

This way is infinately more preferable.

 

[Zwelgje]

Now it's too busy, when less people are posting it's not busy enough...there will always be people who don't like it. There is no situation imaginable in which everybody is happy.

w/ AoA

I agree that the current way Offtopic works is better than the proposed splitting, however swamped it may be.

Hey AOA, email me your password, let me ban pellaken, just pellaken no one else.

 

[Pellaken]

well I've made suggestions before about why we should divide it, which includes the whole thing about what topic the new forum would be on, but since I've been shot down each time, I wont repeat it. instead, check back through this forum, I think I've made atleast 10 threads about it now.

What's the problem with a forum that is too full? I don't see.

 

[Pellaken]

its more difficult to navagate, and find the information your looking for. with a seperate froum, for example, for only farm issues, then when looking for a farm issue, you'll know where to find it.

its my belif that over 50% of the posts in OT can be sectioned off into 2 or 3 topics, and that those topics should deserve thier own froum. but due to rules and regulations, I cannot say what those topics are.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Give it a rest, Pell. OT works fine. What's so hard about clicking on pg 2 or 3 of OT for those threads pushed backwards?

 

[Thunderfall]

yeah, just forget it Pell. The OT forum is working beautifully the way it is now.

If you aren't allowed to say what they are then they obviously don't deserve their own fora.

Hmmmm.... Shall I buy an Aberdeen Angus or would it be best to stick with another Friesan? How many farm threads have there been? Ever? Good example!

Seriously, I don't mind if the traffic in OT is increasing. I still think that there will be more in Civ 3 General Discussions. Now if only we could get all these people to make interesting posts ( - I'm as guilty as any). If you really want to know what's new then subscribe to the thread in question. You'll learn soon enough when it has been updated and has dropped off the page.

No.

yeay

also, PH, the reason I cant say them, is cause I've done so so many times, and it been rejected so many times, that I'm affraid I'll get banned if I bring it up "yet again":suicide:

 

[floppa21]

Aw come on Pell, tell me the reasons, I wanna hear them...

 

[Pellaken]

i'll do some stats, then post the reasons.
