Can we get some clarification?


Doesn't every thread that goes on for more than a few pages become a community discussion?


"Communities from the Off-Topic Forum. Sports, Politics, etc."

So every thread that has sports, politics or etc.... belongs here?

 

[smokeymicpot]

My guess is Community is for gaming threads this is for off topic threads. But we get a little thing on top of the community thread so no new members will join the threads.

 

[Fredescu]

AusGAF actually grew out of Gaming rather than Off Topic, so we're a little out of place here.

 

[BigJonsson]

Who do these threads get to stay in the OT?


anime thread - 44 pages
manga thread 80+
windows phone 7
uk gaf
android
iphone web app
wrestling
galaxy nexus
gaf hop
south park
legend of korra
lotto pool
march madness
comics
draw something
game of thrones
hunger games
f1
pics that make you laugh
electronic music


Those are just from the first page, how are those threads different from the MAJOR sports league threads?

 

[Dresden]

Anime and manga threads are getting moved. Probably.

 

[Professor Beef]

You guys get to share with PonyGAF now, at least.

:3

 

[Lucius86]

Yeah, it's all a little jarring atm. I was happy with the OT as it was.

 

[bjaelke]

This is very confusing. If they have to remake it, then I suggest four tabs:

Gaming
Gaming communities
Off-topic
Off-topic communities

Exactly.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Are we getting a tab or are we going to just be completely hidden away?

 

[BigJonsson]

Or just make a sub-forum just for sports and give us a tab

 

[hamchan]

AusGAF is an Australian gaming community so I don't know why we're with the off-topic dudes.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Or just make a sub-forum just for sports and give us a tab

Or just leave us on the top of OT like it been for years.

 

[Black Mamba]

It won't be long before we are in a subforum of the FAQ section.

Before we're all exiled for good, we should spend our last remaining moments having sex. Lots and lots of sex. With each other. Well, not eznark, but everyone else.

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm so confused right now.

 

[hamchan]

The non-quick look giant bomb thread should really be moved to community too.

 

[EviLore]

I'm not really happy with the current arrangement in practice. Community is being retooled in two separate directions... from the gaming side, it's now in large part a section for older official threads, and from the off-topic side, it's serving a different purpose.

So I think we'll do separate community subforums, one for gaming, and one for off-topic. That way the off-topic communities are not so far removed and hidden from everything else.

Sec.

Yeah that sounds like the best move.

 

[BigJonsson]

I just don't understand what prompted these changes?

 

[FootballFan]

Gaming

Off-topic
Off-topic communities

Yeah that is probably the best suggestion.

edit Oh cool

Basically megathreads take front page real estate from new threads. Both thread types serve a purpose, but having them both in the same forum gives the new threads less chance to catch and form a discussion.

Two separate community tabs seems like the best way to go.

Don't worry mate, you'll get through it. *pats on the back*

Wouldn't want to miss out on the latest Gaborn thread.

Very good suggestion

 

[xbhaskarx]

This is very confusing. If they have to remake it, then I suggest five tabs:

Gaming
Gaming communities
Off-topic
Off-topic communities
Depressing and/or bizarre news stories from Florida

fixed

 

[hateradio]

Why mess with the two-forum forum? Community, what is that?

This is going to be interesting.
