Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Then D&D would have nothing left but religion and politics to discuss! *shudder*
Actually, I'm having a really hard time understanding why you'd think that. Should I explain the concept I have in my head more fully?
Meanwhile, three pages of pleading for a Guild Wars forum goes unnoticed.
Schweet.
Yeah, I've noticed no mod posts in the Guild Wars thread.
No discussion at all.
...
I don't suppose it ever occured to you that the comics forum has been in the works for almost a month?
Unnoticed is the wrong word.
No action... yeah.
I know Whippy has wanted a comic book forum for a while, and he is a mod, but there is a vibrant community far more involved than CoH wanting some semblance of logic in posting, and this would provide it nicely.
I'll stop posting this here though, because I realize my views would be better served on the GW thread...
just had to rant a bit.
Actually, I missed that. And i wasn't trying to claim that this was a spur of the moment decision or anything... I guess I just want Democracy here on my favorite online dictatorship
Yes, it's not ideal, but you have to draw the line somewhere - we couldn't have a forum for movies, a forum for anime etc.
If a film is big enough a whole thread is dedicated to it - like Serenity, Episode 3, Hitchhiker's etc. Music has several categoric threads - i.e. the metal thread, etc.
Sometimes I too find that my posts get lost or ignored, but at the same time if we allowed a new thread for each different music album/film we'd end up with a lot of small threads that died fairly quickly.
Movies and anime seem to have just as much interest if not more, then comic books. That is why the combined forum is such a good idea.
I cast my vote in favor of it.
I rally behind Raijin in favor of the Non-Interactive Media Forum!
d'oh. I should look at the names more often to the side of the message. I shall maintain my position behind Raijin :winky: ...
Raijin, get Behind K :winky: ...
Lets make thie interesting
But really. I don't know why anime cannot go into the new forum, besides Whippy's dislike of it (??). It does fit into the general category, only it's japanese instead of american. Yes, that's the only difference. shush.
However, if we're going to have a comic book forum, I'd like to see one for movies as well, although I think the two could fit together reasonably well.
that's because SE is for casual conversation.
For what it's worth, they're talking about easing up on that. It grew out of the election madness and just never really let up.
But no one wants to go to SE++. The mods make up rules on the spot, and SE++ has got a very non-new person friendly attitude.
The mods don't make up the rules on the spot. If they do, they are joking around with someone that they know can take it.
The non-new person thing isn't as bad as you think. It's a stereotype like G&T people being uber-dorks. Believing in the stereotype perpetuates it. It also allows you to have a comfortable experience rather than a challenging one. What I mean is, say you create a thread in SE and someone flames you. You take that as proof of your idea when actually they were just joking with you and greeting you in that special SE way.
SE is a matter of perception.
Some of us would prefer to actually be able to discuss this stuff without digging through all that BS, though.
Fag.
I think that's a valid complaint though once again it goes back to the kind of experience you're looking for. One is sure and steady. The other is different and open. Neither is better or worse, they are just different.
