Of the WotC Forums and the OTT

[Ragnar_Lodbrok]

I can afford to add yet another forum to my stable.

Some people in YMTC were pissed at the forum, questioned some choices, were promptly banned, and now they and some others in that section are talking about making a dedicated forum. And it seems like they'd fit the feel the cave had better.

Not that ENWorld is a bad forum, I certainly like it and plan to stick around the D&D sections at the very least, but it hardly seems like the Tavern, you know?

The lounge seems like the Tavern. At least the Off Topic Tavern. Maybe not so much the group Tavern, but the group Tavern had little in the way of moderation. In case anyone was wondering, I pretty much read and lurked the group tavern but never really posted their because I was busy last semester.

 

[Cyclone_Joker]

Dude, when TS and MrM weren't around the OTT didn't have much moderation either. But that's not the thing. It's a culture thing.

Frankly -- yeah, he might be quite a bit overrated. However, that's entirely beside the point:

The point is not, "It's good advice because Wheaton said so." Instead, the point is, "Wheaton said so because it's good advice." (You see? The causality is exactly the other way around.)

The mods are reminding all readers of the thread that, for those who follow Wheaton's Law, posting on EN World will be as enjoyable as they make it -- because it really can be difficult to run afoul of the EN World posting guidelines while following Wheaton's Law.

Please, what ever he says doesn't change the fact that he is lame and overrated. There are enough animes and games for the fanboys and sycophants of the internet, no need to add Wheaton to the lot. It is just bad taste.

Agreed.
It certainly is a culture thing.
Even though we fight like family, I firmly believe we also love each other like family.

So what's this?
Are we OTTers going to a different forums or something?
Somebody needs to keep me posted about these things!

 

[Robin Hoodlum]

And I agree with goldo.
Wheaton IS overrated.

 

[Kramodlog]

HOODSIE IN DA HIZZOUSE!

Welcome!

You saw one of my posts in OTT? I told Silver over FB. You got anyone else on FB?

I want to stay here. This place seems nice. We all like tabletop games of some kind: a lot of us play D&D or Pathfinder, I am gonna be working on my own game soon, and you like war games and stuff and there's a section here you'd like. And the lounge looks like it doesn't get much use and has some of the same stuff our OTT had. Seems like a win-win.

No, no, no. You can't agree with Goldo.
