I'll go ahead and start the G&T thread that will exist within SE. Alert the other forumers and wish me luck.
Don't you already post more in SE++ than GnT?
Does that really matter? We're all PA forumers, here, and Rehab does a good amount of posting in G&T, too.
Did you know TFS was once a die-hard G&T regular? I know most people repressed the horrible memories of having him around all the time, but it's true. hi2u tfs
That's why TFS is such a dickwad. He started posting in SE++, and constantly said how much GnT sucks in an attempt to get people to like him more. In the transition period, he would still post in GnT. Right after saying it sucks. It takes a real tool to do that.
And Rehab created a GNT Chat thread in SE++ would be like anyone else from SE++ creating a GnT chat thread in SE++.
if i'm not mistaken you have made several posts in SE today after expounding on its shittiness and elitism
Show a single post where I said SE++ sucks. I've been saying TFS sucks all day, true, and that I don't want to post in SE++ because he's there all the time being an ass. I did post there, and he wasn't there all the time being an ass so it wasn't bad at all.
Not to make all of this centered around TFS, but if I remember right he started posting in SE because of a really bad experience in G&T. So to get away from all of that he jumped over to SE and has more or less stayed there. Kind of like how Ceres doesn't want to mod G&T anymore after that instant message she received (I still can't believe someone actually did that).
So, how is a mega thread more cliquey than a Game On thread?
Do people come in to the DS thread and say "I want to buy a DS" and the clique says "Fuck no, you can't, and stay the hell out of here"? Would it be better if pretty much no one in the thread got along?
After sitting around staring blankly and thinking about it, then getting a drink, then thinking about it again for a few minutes, I think I might finally have an idea of where this clique -> megathread thing is coming from.
Maybe... People are thinking that the big threads might be intimidating because of their bigness. In theory, if a new person comes along they'll feel like they're obligated to read a billion pages of stuff before posting while someone who's been around and keeping up/posting with the thread (ie a member of the "clique") would have an easier time knowing what's happening. It's the only explanation I came up with, and I doubt that it's correct.
No, that's pretty much it.
I know a couple of people who casually browse G&T, and they just don't have the time to devote to any of the enormous threads we have. One person in particular saw how big the DS, PS3, Revolution and 360 threads were and his first question was "how does anyone have time to follow those?"
Keeping all discussion about each console in one enormous thread pretty much limits the readership to the people who have the time to sift through dozens of pages of posts. To me, the most compelling argument for breaking the megathreads up is one of simple pragmatism--most people just are unwilling or unable to devote the time to a 60-page monstrosity. You don't hear them complaining about it because they just don't go into those threads.
EDIT: Also, having a tight-knit community built up in each of the megathreads makes it even more difficult for the average casual forumer to get any use out of them, because, as Magus` just said above me, the megathreads are chock full of chat-style filler posts.
Ohhhh! I get it now! Well heck, if someone had said something along those lines earlier I bet it would've prevented some misunderstandings about it. All I was reading was that "You guys have cliques." When I think of forum cliques, I think of a little group of individuals who tell anyone who haplessly wanders in to get the fuck out of their thread/forum, not people who participate in giant threads.
Thanks for clearing that up.
no, if it was like FYAD dudes would find themselves banned in short order

I thought TFS started posting in SE because he wanted to have sex with the admin.

Wait, you thought I seriously wanted him to create a G&T thread inside SE++? And you thought that he was going to do it? Man, what.

I loathe this idea only because it's awesome enough to wish I thought of it first...
