I Love Meta

[diaglo]

And besides, between here and Nutkinland, my time was taken. Not enough time to swing by Wizards.

c'mon now. we know you are a swinger.

I like Meta because it's a calmer place.

After the "busy-ness" of General and other forums, it's nice to chill in the "after hours" lounge area.

Kind of like having a drink with co-workers after work...

Well, my wife may have something to say about that...

I like coming to meta for a few reasons. I can come hang out and see whose birthday it is, brag about postcount (actually, see who is bragging about their postcount-Hey! I hit #600 this morning!), and just bs about the boards and other stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. And the threads don't disappear in 30 minutes either.

I definitely appreciate the slower pace here. Of course, one of the paradoxes about things like this is that the more people you share it with, the quicker it vanishes...

I usually check out the general and meta boards before any other boards. General has the good stuff and meta has the fun stuff. 'Sides most of the OT posts end up in meta.

Meta is one of the first places I check! I like it!

I do think the description could be a little more enticing though. "Post comments and questions about the messageboards and other parts of EN World. If you have a problem, this is where to go. " Sure doesn't make it sound very exciting does it? It makes it sound like a help forum only. *shrug* Maybe a lot of the stuff here is OT?

I've wondered the same thing. There isn't really an OT forum, and I think Morrus and the gang specifically don't want one. General gets too cluttered with them, but is Meta the place for it? Seems like as good a place as any to me.

I think that sums it up best.

Cough, cough...

Don't you know that the hivemind basically started like that, here in Meta? That we had Piratecat's rule of three? No more than three threads of friendship and crazyness in the darkness that was the Meta forum, until we were shown the light that is the General Discussions forum?


OK, Crothian's Sharkworld has a bit to do with it, too.

I did not know that! It's a viscious circle, I guess.
