OT Forum: Que es el deal-eo?

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

It was advertised as a 2 week experiment, and we're past that mark. Is it for keeps? *crosses fingers for "no"* If it is, can you guys at least turn on postcounts for it?

No offense, my wrangling friend, but that strikes me as really funny. I mean, why would you want the post counts turned on? Wouldn't it just encourage a certain kind of poster to go overboard in a forum you don't think should even exist?

I'm not hassling you. Teasing? yeah.

Why, Buttercup, what ever do you mean?

I don't care what people post in there or how often they do it. To me, they just took a nice little fun thing out of the general forum and turned it into a neutered Nutkinland. But if it's no longer an experiment, then make it a real forum and be done with it.

It just seems like Morrus has forgotten about it.

Certainly not. We're discussing it right now, and have been for a few days. Once all the mods weigh in on the subject we'll let you know.

Personally, I really like General without OT threads and with P&P threads. There's some good, crunchy stuff going on in there right now.

TW, why do you want post counts turned on in here?

I think Crothian should change his title to Postmaster General. Especially if OT posts count.

I thought I was pretty explanatory in my second post, but to clarify:

Being that the "two-week experiment" time limit had come and gone, it seemed like this OT Behemoth was here to stay. I hadn't seen anything from you, Morrus or Eric stating otherwise. I felt like, well here it is, like it or not. Why don't they make it official?. Right now, it's semi-official status is making it look like EN World's red-headed stepchild. Activating postcounts and giving it a real name (I detest all references to the Hive, and that "Nemry" thing is just confusing) would go a long way to legitimizing it, IMHO.

Besides (since you guys saw fit to stick the Hivemind in there), isn't the whole point of the Hivemind to raise one's postcount? I'm shocked they get any Hive posts in there. [/only slightly tongue-in-cheek]

BTW, as long as I've got the Kitty's ear: what changed? Morrus and Eric's arguments against an OT forum always seemed pretty rational to me, and they never dropped any "maybes". Why change? Why now?

Aw; you don't like the Hive? Well don't worry; after your assimilation, you'll feel differently. I know I did.

 

[Morrus]

We've decided to keep it, folks. The experiment went well, and we're pretty happy with the results.
