Merging Forums
« on: June 30, 2005, 03:52:15 PM »
Here's a thought I've had since I joined the site way back when...why do we basically have 2 general discussion forums?

I really can't see any difference between the two and both often have similar threads from people starting topics about the same thing at the same time in different forums.

Is there a reason Everthing Else and Rants and Such are seperate?

It's so that I don't have to acknowledge that the Superfly threads exist. :)

Rants is spouting off and self-promotion
Everything else is... everything else.

Also, Rants is unmoderated, which is the only thing that has kept me from locking the Superfly threads.

I've asked in the past to be the rants forum admin, citing my tendency towards massive rantage if sufficiently efforted, but they told me they would keep my CV on file in case another job turned up.

Meh meh lol.

What do you all have against the superfly thread?

I think it's fun.

The enjoyment of other people incites us to fits of rage.

it is well known that "having fun" is not a valid means of time-wasting.

Me and spriggo were talking, and we felt it would be best to rename rants and everything to be 'Personal Whinging' and 'Politics and Debate' respectively. Plus, put in a subforum in Whinging for the SFNC.

I'll have you know I looked it up on dictionary.com first, just to check it was a real word. It looks so retarded when you type it out. Link.

It says "Chiefly British," so I was right. Though why you would turn complaining into a sport is beyond me. You guys are so weird.
