You wouldn't have anyway of knowing it was going to be&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; IC.... See, this is the point of General, it's General, anything can fit here, That way the thread can change&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and it still belongs here.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; IP: Logged&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; AZRogue&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted 04-11-2001 07:52 PM&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; OK, sorry if I'm being defensive. It's just that I think if we split the boards too much it will hurt us all. Not&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; everyone has the time to go to each and every forum. The Pantheon, because of it's place, has recieved a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; lot of great new members since its beginning. Members that might not have ever noticed the threads if&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; they were in a different forum. They are fun, and generally give people a good laugh. You can only talk&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; about serious things so much. And I think the Cow is right (for once). The Pantheon is usually confined to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; one thread. It's other threads like these that really clutter things (though I don't think of them as clutter&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; either. They're also part of the reason I come here). Part of the General Discussion forum's appeal is that,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; when I come here, I never know what's going to be here. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; My thoughts!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ------------------&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; IP: Logged&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; King_Stannis&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted 04-11-2001 10:24 PM&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; quote:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Originally posted by DarwinofMind:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Oh, Yes, TB, you have such a good complaint there, I'll keep that in mind, Next time we&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; won't start a new thread, We'll just keep going in one thread till we get up to the 21page&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; limit and crash the boards.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Your a genius, how could we ever live without your suggestions.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and people call me a troll?

Does that make them wrong? Does it make it wrong for that show to be on the air? In both cases,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I would have to say no (though I personally believe they are in bad taste).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If I don't want to watch the show,I turn the channel.

When we're done with it, it goes to the archives. Any peripheral spillover silliness is completely incidental. There's just an overly high concentration of these Industrial Revolution-roleplay threads running around due to recent badness with Gamespy's message board servers. I'm sure that if you give it another couple of days, the chaff, as you refer to it, will probably consolidate itself... ------------------ -Ian. Vice President for life of the ENBoard.

While I do usually just step around the, ahem, babble (sorry guys, great fun, just don't have sufficient time or interest) splitting RPG forums into IC and OOC forums is a simple common sense move that declutters things and makes both types more readable. I really don't think the knee-jerk defensiveness on the issue is warranted. So you have my support. IP: Logged DarwinofMind Member posted 04-11-2001 07:50 PM But it will never be used properly. for instance the Industrail Revolution thread started as something that completely belong in here, and had nothing to do with roleplay, But it was rapidly devoloping into a flame war, and for some reason we fought it out with a fun and thought provoking roleplay than with flames and insults. Where would you have started a thread like that? You wouldn't have anyway of knowing it was going to be IC.... See, this is the point of General, it's General, anything can fit here, That way the thread can change and it still belongs here. IP: Logged AZRogue Member posted 04-11-2001 07:52 PM OK, sorry if I'm being defensive. It's just that I think if we split the boards too much it will hurt us all. Not everyone has the time to go to each and every forum. The Pantheon, because of it's place, has recieved a lot of great new members since its beginning. Members that might not have ever noticed the threads if they were in a different forum. They are fun, and generally give people a good laugh. You can only talk about serious things so much. And I think the Cow is right (for once). The Pantheon is usually confined to one thread. It's other threads like these that really clutter things (though I don't think of them as clutter either. They're also part of the reason I come here). Part of the General Discussion forum's appeal is that, when I come here, I never know what's going to be here.

Your a genius, how could we ever live without your suggestions. and people call me a troll? for the record, i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks these gnome-industrial- revolution threads are cluttering up the boards. my opinion, that they are stupid, is irrelevent. however, today all you could see was "what happened to our gnome industri...blah, blah blah...." threads. it really was getting out of hand, and made for a very sub-par day of new threads. IP: Logged DarwinofMind Member posted 04-11-2001 11:21 PM Well, lets see, imagine a thread on ummm anything you pick, lets say its a thread where some WOTC employee has just given spoilers about a new book and there is a good discussion going on about it, Now, lets imagine the server crash whips that thread off the face of the map. Any thread that just disappears is going to raise some alarm.

I posted a light little piece about a poster (whom I consider quite entertaining) and one of his noted habits. It wasn't a flame. It was a friendly "dig". Then this. *middle finger* IP: Logged imperialus Moderator posted 04-12-2001 01:51 AM I'd post on that sort of stuff if I had time but since I don't I just don't click on it. I guess basically what you are saying is you want Eric to go to the trouble of createing a new board, assigning moderators, and makeing sure it doesn't get out of hand just so you can avoid... clicking on a thread? Hardly seems fair does it? IP: Logged Wizbane Member posted 04-12-2001 01:56 AM quote: Originally posted by Sacred Cow: Damn! Gotta change my sig! I suggest a cow in bikini.

I even insulted some very good freinds this morning and had to appologize, I read this thread and I just saw one more person complain about how we didn't belong and that looked like a flame, and it seemed so backwards that my impluse was to flame back. I'm sorry. IP: Logged Bran Blackbyrd Member posted 04-12-2001 02:15 AM quote: Originally posted by Wizbane: I suggest a cow in bikini. A naked cow may offend the sensibility of some people. I am offended that you assume anyone here has sensibility! Seriously, a thread that a lot of people had put a lot of time and effort into was suddenly (more or less) wiped out. So there were a rash of posts about what happened, and a post or two by people who wanted to know what the thread was about. I don't see where the harm is. Some days I get tired of seeing the word pantheon on this board, but it doesn't bother me enough that I feel the need to (as my friend Dave might say) poop all over their parade. ------------------ Jason "Warlocke" Lewis ---------------------- DM: You see there are orcs camped out in the chasm ahead of you.

Apology accepted with no hard feelings IP: Logged Teflon Billy Member posted 04-12-2001 02:34 PM . IP: Logged Enkhidu Member posted 04-12-2001 03:24 PM If I may interject... I think a big thing that is getting left out of this conversation is that we have absolutely NO control over what is posted here. Only the owner of the board (in other words, Eric) and his selected deputies do. I look at it this way: I believe that certain television shows (let's say for the sake of argument... Survivor) are tripe. Other people, however, feel that that show is very worthwhile and get caught up in it quite readily. Does that make them wrong? Does it make it wrong for that show to be on the air? In both cases, I would have to say no (though I personally believe they are in bad taste). If I don't want to watch the show,I turn the channel. If I don't want to read a thread (and trust me, there are quite a few that I've skipped), I simply don't click on it. There is enough room on the board for all of us - and by the way Eric, thank you for making it so. {Edited for Grammar} Enkhidu [This message has been edited by Enkhidu (edited 04-12-2001).] IP: Logged Psion Member posted 04-12-2001 03:36 PM quote: Originally posted by Enkhidu: If I may interject...

However, the only reason I air my concerns is so I can be counted among those who find it problematic, in the hopes that the powers-that-be sit up and take notice and make a TIC forum.

And for that I appluad you (after all, following my previous example, we should have our version of the Neilson ratings too!). And by the way, please don't take offense if my tone came off poorly. I wasn't one of the big posters on the thread(s) in question, but did enjoy them, and I just don't take kindly to being called, ugh, chaff (though I do realize that that did not come from you, Psion). Enkhidu IP: Logged Teflon Billy Member posted 04-12-2001 09:57 PM I wan't using the word chaff to desribe any of the posters. I was using it to describe the number of similar threads. That is, I wasn't using the term meaning the "throw away" part of a kernel of grain, I was using it to describe the cloud of tinfoil fragments used to screw up RADAR's ability to spot objects. Sorry, English is an imperfect language I can well understand your concern since the "Grain Waste Product" definition is far and away the more common one.
