 |
|
Hey, I know we all go off-topic; I do to. But to make it a little easier to find the original topic if a thread goes too far off topic I'm going to split the new topic off into it's own thread and move it to the right forum. I just did that with the "Wondering" thread, if you want to see an example. Anyway, I'd like to hear your feedback, good or bad.  |

It does get a *smidge* annoying to have to go back five or six pages to find what the topic is about in the first place...

Well, it is a little frustrating to find where stuff left off whenever you get off for a few hours, but it is amusing. I've joined in on some of the chaos myself. 
But if it gets that bad, can't we just have a AC chatroom or something? I know I made one for the old Pub, and that worked well for a while...until that little incident  I could try and figure out what I did if a chatroom was really needed. |

That really doesn't sound that too bad of an idea. The board's bigger now, much more active... it might clear the clutter up a bit (since threads tend to turn into chats now anyway)...

Well, I'm not sure, because we have the Miscellanous section for off-topic discussions, and that doesn't stop them from popping up in other places. I still think we're too small to support a chatroom, but how well did that work at the Pub? |

What would the board be like without a little chaos? |

I'm not 100 percent sure because it was only up for a couple of weeks before everyone left . I think it was my present to the board for Mozenrath's birthday. But all anyone had to do was download the chatroom program and talk there. There wasn't much to it. |

Okay... well, if we ever feel the need to I could host one here, but we'll see how this works.
Oh, and BTW, I'm not going to split out every off-topic post. Just if there are a couple of pages or more.  |

Sounds like a plan to me!

I like that very much. It is a little duanting for the new people that come here as well, but I've gotten used to it.
It'd be nice if there was a post in the first thread giving a link to the sceond half of the thread though.
