admin 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 Just a Heads up to get people’s opinion, Hardcore Discussion & General Chat are being considered to be merged. We are consolidating the forums a bit to clean it up and trash unneeded folders & combine ones which overlap. Comments? Questions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreatWhiteNope 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) J*Wing has Hell, so can we call it "Purgatory"? Also, I'd move Tape Trading to the top of General Wrestling and off of the main index. Edited May 31, 2005 by GreatWhiteNope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 We're thinking about calling the new folder "The Junk Drawer" because, as the name implies, it'll be a place for threads that don't really belong in any other folders. HD and GC are essentially the same, so why have them both? And yes, I came up with that name. Rag on me if you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 I was for it at first, but on second thought, I'm so used to the folders being the way they are, and I fear change, and all that, so no, leave it be. General Chat is fluff news, personal lives, all that, Hardcore Discussion should be left alone so it doesn't infect General Chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreatWhiteNope 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 And I'd expect the Junk Drawer would be moderated more strictly than Hardcore Discussion currently is. So I'm also against it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it won't be THAT much more moderated. People would have to adhere to the posting guidelines (which are being revised....yes, again) and wouldn't be a "safe haven" for trolling and flaming, but people can still goof around and stuff like that.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted May 31, 2005 Why don't you consolidate more of the wrestling folders, get rid of the articles that practically nobody reads in the archives, and get rid of any threads that haven't been posted in in over a year, while you're at it? If not, then HD and General Chat don't really need to be merged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 wouldn't be a "safe haven" for trolling and flaming I thought flaming was allowed at TSM and even if it's not, shouldn't it be allowed in the HD folder, even if merged? Like Czech, I fear change and I'm against all this merging and stuff. Leave everything as is, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 I think the merger is a splendid idea. What will those of you who "fear change" do when you go out and get a real job? Hell, my job is a steady diet of change, often with insufficient notice and barely adequate preparation. There's no time to be afraid of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 Jeez, Tom is talking like somebody's father in a cartoon. The merger is a bad idea, because hardcore is a total crap folder, and if you merge it with general, you'll ruin general. But I don't really post here anymore either, so fuck it.

Modern Man's Hustle 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 No shit, what's the point of a messageboard if you can't tell everyone what you really think of them? No flaming = no fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 No one is saying you can't type out a flame. The point is, HD is no longer a safe haven for flaming. It used to be the Flaming Folder/NHB, and it was the only place on the board you could flame people to your heart's content. Now, with the no-flaming rule done away with, a separate place just to bash people isn't necessary. The harder edge that NHB/HD had isn't really there anymore. Merging the two folders won't affect anything to any significant degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) Jeez, Tom is talking like somebody's father "You know, back in my day we didn't even have messageboards..." Hell, if you're going to merge folders, just make TSM one big folder and call it "Shit" Edited May 31, 2005 by Slayer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quoted for emphasis. Ever get the feeling you're talking to a brick wall? Flaming is no longer forbidden (check the rules at the top of the forum); call someone an idiot all you like, there won't be any problems unless it's taken to an extreme degree.
