To the Hivemind

[arwink]

Piratecat said three threads max, and he'll lock the rest of them.

I don't think it'll matter to much what we choose. In a couple of days they'll be locked and we'll have started on something new anyway.

I guess they'll be closed.

Let's keep Not the drivel, the questions game, and Poster of the Innercircle, if it is three threads. If two, get rid of Not the Drivel.

I think thats the best way to go, P.Cat didn't shut anything off yet so why make him do it at all, i think it would be best if we stick to those threads and let the others drop. JMO of course.

I think its a fairly complete agreement, not counting the opinions of those not currently posting of course.

Time to stop posting on all the other threads.

 

[Ashardalon]

Just stopping by to say I agree with Rav.

*pround moment*

Wow...out of three Hivemind threads, two of them are threads I started...

Woah.

That's nice. Thanks guys. Now I'm off to try and catch up with the Questions thread, it's at 850 posts or something as I type this...

I blame it on the fact that both of mine ended up in General

Two moved in two days

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?

Well, I haven't participated in your hivemind threads, so at the risk of offending all of you, I think you have gotten carried away. There are lots of message boards on the internet where you can engage in pointless spamming and total silliness. I visit several of them myself. But I've always come to this board, even when it was Eric's, for D&D related discussion. I'd hate to see this place turn into just another spam fest. And I worry that if the noise to signal ratio gets any worse, Morrus will just throw up his hands and shut it down.

Sorry if I've offended any of you, but as a fellow member, I thought my opinion might be of interest.

I pretty much agree, it has gotten out of hand, and i deffinatly don't want Morrus up set. Poor guy doesn't deserve it. On the other hand with the boards being down a lot and the server changes some of us got wacky, mods included. Pirate cat spoke to use, and hopefully we can get ourselves under control. I Don't think a little sillyness, in an out of the way place like this hurts too much, but if people are going to get offended, thats another story. In that case i'd advocate all of us stoping imeadiatly.

Thanks Buttercup. I think we all agree with Sir Osis, and hearing someone who wasn't involved put it that way certianly helps nail it down. I think much of the rampant silliness has burned out of it by now. The kobold thread that got moved into general is pretty much devoted to talking about actually cruchy, on-topic content, and the only two threads down here in meta that seem to still get posts are the questions thread and this one. They get occasional spurts of posts every time someone who'se been offline and missed the disccusion arrives on the boards, but the mass-thread spam of the past day or two has pretty much stopped.
