The Column Corner...

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

I think it should be because of several factors.

 

 

A.) No one ever starts topics in it, and 90% of them generally suck.

 

B.) When people do post, feedback is rarely left to the person who wrote whatever.

 

C.) Has a dumb name.

 

 

D.) No one has posted there for at least ten days and has no topics show up on the original cut off day. I.E Dead.

I agree, give it the axe.

I don't necessarily think it should be axed...no one has been motivated to post anything.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Just a quick update: 18 days I think without a post. That is just really bad.

 

Even the Testing folder gets more action I think.

[Guest Retro Rob]

I don't really see why it being there is something you should concern yourself with. Either way, it's not holding any other folders back from appearing on the board, so it's doing no harm. If the lack of posting bothers you, then post something in it.

I was just saying it seems very deserted. I use to be able to check it out a few months (If everyones wondering, my old dumb name "Real Nosferatu" doesn't work for some reason so I created a new registration) and find some stuff, some good, some bad and was able to pass a little time. Now it's just...eh.

 

Just an opinion though.

The last post in Column Corner is now November 2, 24 days since a post. It's starting to look as busy as UGS. (ducks)

 

I say change Column Corner to a folder concerned with scholarly pursuits, so those of us in high school and college have a place to discuss our studies, ask for help from one another, etc. Hey, it would get more traffic than it is now.

and while you're a t it, give me a plaque for trying to resurrect the fucking place with the 2 BEST COLUMNS by a poster you can find, dammit!

 

I may have sexual encounters with plastic objects, but I'm one hell of a writer!

Those columns were awesome, Phantman. Absolutely flawless.

 

I actually think Czech Republic's idea as a writing in general forum is quite good, and maybe if it had been proposed to Dames rather than suddenly posted there it might have worked. I think it should be put into consideration for here though.

[Guest PhantMan]

I DID send it to Dames... fortubately Flea posted it and it's now history.

 

the fuck I'm gonna write something of that magnitude for you dorks again.

[Guest Waldo]

Here's an idea - When you reach 10,000 posts you get a folder in "The Column Corner" - you can use it for blogs, columns, rants, reviews, whatever.

 

It would be a nice reward for experienced posters, and something for newer posters to shoot for.

[Guest Fook]

Bad idea.

 

You'd basically be rewarding people for post whoring.

[spiny norman 0]

Yeah, and seeing as how the mods are thinking about eliminating post counts, I doubt they'd give privileges to those with higher post counts, as that'd be pretty counter-productive.

I hear there's a poll about deep-sixing Column Corner, over in GC. Vote Yes!
