To the Hivemind

[Dragongirl]

All these running conversation threads are fun, and the gods know I participate in them, but . . . I think we may be getting carried away. I think before the mods feel the need to act we should try to contain ourselves to 2 or 3 threads so as to not clutter meta so much that real issues get burried. What does the rest of the Hivemind think?

I'm all for it, but every time I start worrying about it, Darkness shows up and starts dragging more threads into the madness.

And he keeps moving my threads out of meta.

It's hard to stay restrained when a Mod's encouraging you

Hehe true, but I am just worried that a small minority is overwhelming this forum. Not saying we have done anything bad or wrong, just don't want other ENworlders or the Mods to get annoyed with us.

Perhaps we need a Hivemind forum? :: ducks and runs from the prehensile one ::

]One of the reasons I really wanted Rav's thread to stay on topic. I'd rather get pre-warning on this kind of thing. Still, the way I look at it, we're not really trying to be exclusive about this. Look at the number of people who seem to have jumped on board in the past day or two. And at this point it's a relatively short-lived phenomonon and there's still a pretty good chance we'll all get bored and go back to more serious things.

I figure that we'll get told when it's gone to far, and we'll probably get a warning to take it to Nutkinland before we reach the point of no return.

Now if only Darkness can resist distracting this thread, other people can have their say on the matter.

Well, I guess I'm partly to blame for the derailment of the Staggering Similarities thread. (though it still seems rather harmless in comparison)

I don't think anyone's to blame. It just happens

Besides, it was pretty much over the bout of seriousness by the time you got there. You basically just found the start of the hill and started sledding down the with the rest of us.

Which, when you think about it, is pretty inevitable for anything that gathered a bunch of people together in relation to the Hivemind tag

 

[Knight Otu]

I guess you're right!

I was just thinking this.

Let's make it three threads max - we'll lock the rest, bwah ha ha. And I'll ask for a temporary pause on moving them.

Thanks for being responsible AND silly.

Thank you for allowing us to be silly

Any chance you could leave the questions thread as one of the unlocked ones?
