How about a new forum?
« on: August 14, 2004, 12:45:01 AM »
I say we put it under "General Forums" and call it "The daily whine", or "Hall of Concerns", and it can house all of the complaint/whine threads.  I know that the HT staff troll these forums reading the posts, and I know they move threads when its appropriate, perhaps this is the best way to keep these posts off of the general discussion for a while.  

This pretty much solves two problems:  1.  Those who don't want to see the whines and are tired of them don't have to log into that forum.  2.  It will free the general discussion of the whine clutter when something happens that not everyone likes (for instance what is happening right now), and can be freed up to center on fruitful topics such as:  Why rooks fly at 30k, why the bish fly past defenders to go for the vulch, and why the knights do... whatever it is that they do.  :D


Anyway, happy flaming...  Maybe someone will have something to add.

Hope to see you all up soon.

Howitzer  I proposed this awhile back even think I caused the thread to get locked for venting publically when I should have held my tongue.........

doubt it will happen ..mine was a little harsher though, it locked all the whiners to that one forum only to where they could not post on any good forums or good threads :D

Will it be a white whine or red whine forum?:D

All of a sudden I have an urge for Wild Irish Rose.

Free Cheese?:D


Honestly, after 100 or so odd posts the whiners would figure out that few view the whine forum and would begin posting in the general discussion forums again.  I dont think it would work.

I was being serious, but in a good way, the problem would be coming up with a positive name for it.  They move posts all the time anyway, it may free up the clutter from the general discussion board.  

Doesn't matter much anyway, doubt it will be done, just thought it was a novel idea.

:D
