[Chariot]

Someone light Stump alert!

 

[Indignate]

Yet threads which actually have always seemed like they belong in community not gaming - like Giant Bomb thread, or GameGrumps thread, or Two Best Friends Play - which aren't even about games stay in gaming general.

The Giant Bomb thread got moved to Community about a week ago.

Not sure about the others.

The elves have left Middle-earth for Valinor, waiting for the end of time.

Community is basically the GFWL of GAF

RIP in piece

Let's hope the lost souls that are now just waking up can find their way back to this thread

So it's going to die soon? :/

They're taking the Hobbits to Community! They're taking the Hobbits to Community! They're taking the Hobbits to Community!

I, like possibly many here, typically only access these Steam threads via my subs page, so the move doesn't directly amount to much more than the Community tab being highlighted instead... but I do wonder how new/infrequent visitors will find the thread, or the help they can get here, from now on (or what they'll expect to find when they do).

I'd like to think there's a level of self- and 'community'-moderation here, so I wouldn't expect the fundamentals of the thread to change too much (right?).

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Community is that part of forum where old threads go to die.

Slightly fixed but pretty much that. After a thread is banished to Community Graveyard it's never ever to be seen again (unless you and like 5 others have subscribed to it)

but I do wonder how new/infrequent visitors will find the thread, or the help they can get here, from now on (or what they'll expect to find when they do)..

They don't. That's the exact reason the Community forums don't work. The suggested fix to this is to spam "Hey we got this awesome thread about this on Community come and visit us!" to the related threads which doesn't really make sense either.

 

[ScreamingTrees]

It's all your fault guys.

Zeliard is punishing us for not buying Bayonneta 2

But I did buy it and finally got to play it yesterday evening.

 

[Tellaerin]

No...

Neither of the threads deserve to be there.

Then why'd you ask if this thread should be there too, rather than just being happy that we'd dodged a bullet?

 

[Knurek]

So, we're all old and going to die now?
Oh..

God damn it, genuinely depressed now. Poor kitty. :\

 

[crazyrabbits]

Somehow, I knew you'd say something like that.

 

[Milamber]

Was it seriously our community talk that pushed us here?

EDIT: Oh wow, a bunch of threads got pushed to community too at the same time.

 

[Knurek]

Needs a Brazzers logo.

 

[Shadownet]

Was it seriously our community talk that pushed us here?

Nope it's just one person mentioning it that broke the camel's back. I honestly didn't see the need to move us into community but I guess that's just me.

Edit: A mod is working overtime huh.

 

[kulapik]

A bunch of OT's were moved to community, wonder why.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Hmm odd choice when threads like

• I'm giving away a free copy AC:Unity and Black Flag
• What are your favorite games you have played that were made before you were born?
• Favorite Commodore 64 game?
• Post a single image that you feel perfectly sums up the modern games industry
• I miss Mass Effect

etc are allowed to be posted in the main Gaming section. They all sound like they have a community interaction theme about them. Oh well see how this goes but be nice to know the reason why lots of stuff is being moved.

 

[Ozium]

so Turfster can make a new thread in Gaming Community every day for each daily deal, right?

new topics for new news

can't speak for anyone else ... but I can safely say - if steam thread were always in the community - I would have NEVER found it ... I just don visit community forums ... at all ... I always just browse the gaming forum, and that's about it ... but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one

They are one month old?

Go to sleep, Lashy.

That's actually a good idea.
More worth in them than in the "Giving Away Black Flag" thread.
"Breaking: Steam's Daily Deal for 04.11.2014 inside"
"Polygon Reports: Steam's current Weeklong Deals are here"

[crazyrabbits]

I'm going back to playing Deus Ex. Let me know when Stump arrives to survey the damage.

 

[eyeless]

I've always been puzzled by the selection of sticky threads in the community forum.

huh, never noticed that before

of all the threads why is australia gaf basically the only one with a sticky, what's the logic there

baffling

 

[Arthea]

if we thought we had bad with offtopic streaks before, now it will be on the whole new level and less new people if at all wander in there.
oh well, let's hope stump will bring us back to gaming side.

WHAT DID YOU ALL DO?????

funnily enough, nothing this time to deserve this (><)

Well, people may still find us though the big sale threads (assuming we're allowed to make those in Gaming anymore >_< ), but still, this pisses me off.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Is Hatoful Boyfriend not really cheaper in the Motherland?

Seems everyone is selling it for 2 keys, but thats almost the same price it costs in the German store (3,99&#8364.

Did you see the 100 Destiny threads when it was released? "How does your character look like?" "How far are you in Destiny?" "Do you like Destiny?" "Raid-Thread for Destiny" "I really love Destiny and here is why" etc.

ditto

 

[def sim]

I guess we can always make a new thread for everything that happens in steam from here on out.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Wait, we actually got moved? WUT!?

ThoseDeafMutes and Eat Children are both Australians, as far as I'm aware that's the only reason why it's stickied.

what if there's a ....

[Ban Puncher]

So when do the alpacas get here?

 

[Arthea]

I still think we need two steam threads, one in gaming, other in community (for offtopic talk that goes out of hand quite often), but then again, nobody cares what I think anyway

It's just a holdover from when the thread was stickied in Gaming proper.

Good idea, Cocaine Mountain.

No. Seriously, just no.

Edit: Dammit, Milamber. -_-;

A bunch of OT's were moved to community, wonder why.

Any mass of people gathering in numbers to discuss a common topic or interest could be deemed a 'community'... so OTs pertaining to popular titles, or those that sustain a large following over a length of time, will by nature effectively all be 'community threads'. Appears confusing to me on face value, but I'm sure it'll be explained in due course.

Perhaps rebranding 'Gaming' as 'News', and 'Community' as 'Ongoing Discussion', or something to that effect, would make more sense if this is going to be the model going forward.

 

[Shadownet]

It was a few pages back but you missed it.

Yeah you would say that, you Australian.
