[ Closed ] Stop making random useless topics (Page 1 of 2)

Yep. Unless it's something that really will contribute to discussion I don't see a point. And especially not a hundred different ones all at once. Maybe once every so often would be good, but not the entire first page.

I agree. I think I've made maybe five topics, two of which were semi-successful RPGs. Others were things I thought might be things that people could discuss, and would want to discuss, maturely. Just stop with the random topics. Jeez.

I agree. More thought before posting.

I have been thinking about starting a new topic, but I have been put off doing so for now by the amount of new topics.

Are you refering to me and green

heh, i am not wanted here aparently

I hear ya. 

The Fans section *as I understand it* IS for sharing things that are off topic with the main theme of the site to see if others like the same thing*i.e. who likes LotR, non-SW games and books, etc.* and also for us to get to know each other better *threads like 'How old are you, pics of yourself, etc.* 

HOWEVER, the total randomness and 'off the wall' topics that are getting thown onto the boards ever Single DAY is really getting on everybody's nerves.  And as Fett_II pointed out, not only are the threads often totally random, they are many times threads that ask questions that are already up!  That's even more annoying. 

Why don't you new members who love so much to post on that sort of thing search the old Fans threads and bring them back to life??  There's a ton of great threads that have been burried either because the members at the time had shared their veiws and had nothing more to say at that time, or were just forgoten. 

Take the time to think about whether or not the thread you have in mind would bring something interesting to the site before you create it, and at least try to check and see if maybe it's already up

Boba would approve of this message...........take heed, or he shall HUNT YOU DOWN!!!!!!

It's kind of ironic.  I was just poking my head over in the FANS threads (haven't checked it in a while) and noticed the same thing and actually brought this up to the rest of the mods a few minutes ago on the Admin threads.  I totally agree with you on these not being necessary.  I think this comes close to violating the Spam clause in the rules, but I've asked for clarification on it.  It seems like an attempt at boosting ones posting stats or something.  I've seen the same thing happen over at the Red vs Blue site a few times.  Either way, you're definitely not the only ones who've noticed and your concerns have been noted and channeled up.  Thanks for voicing your concerns guys.

Well, asking random questions in the Fan section, which is basically like a Chit-Chat section, isn't bad. I mean, look at the RP section. They have stuff like "Trees vs. Bushes" What does that have to do with Star Wars? Absolutly nothing.

So, all in all, unless your Spamming up the boards with rapid fire posts, I see no harm in random questions in the Fan section.

Yeah...that can also fall under what I said. Posts...Topics...what have you.
