New Forum Suggestion

Postby AbsoluteDestiny » Sat Aug 17, 2002 7:02 am

This is, partly, in continuation of the Off Topic thread below.

It's true that the Off Topic forum is becoming a little cumbersome. Looking at the forum now I see two types of posts:

1) things about the web and the world that arent covered in the other forums - what the Off Topic forum is mainly designed for.

2) self-centered posts about, I dunno, the person posting being bored or moving house or wanting to say "la la la" because they feel like it.

So, my suggestion (and I don't mean it to seem like a cynical stab, as I think these threads have as much right to be there as anything else) is to make a new forum caled "Me Me Me!" where people can post endless amounts of self-absorbed threads talking about how they have the best cat in the world or "Hey check out my website it r0xx0rs" etc etc.

It would still come under Off Topic but be a place where threads like

I think im posting to much.... and moving and Webusaitto can live happily ever after.

So, the new Forum would be something similar to -

Me Me Me! - This forum is for posts about you, your website, your life or anything else you want to say on a personal level. New members can also say hello and introduce themselves here.

This would leave the off topic with, hopefully, posts about things like TV shows, internet gossip/funnies etc etc. Also it would be a good way to tidy up the OT forum as posts could be moved into "Me Me Me!" by moderators.


A second thing I'd like to mention is that it would be nice to put a forum rule as an announcement at the top of the OT forums to ask people to make a relevant subject title so we know what the thread is about. This would be to avoid threads that are labelled things like "omg" and "have you ever thought that..."

I've occassionally seen a thread like this, looked inside and found a big spoiler for a movie that I haven't seen or, more commonly, found a post about something I'm just not at all interested in like baseball or something. So, a decent subject would be really nice so I know what threads i might like to read.


OK, that's my requests for the day :)

I second AbsoluteDestiny's idea of a "Me, Me, Me" forum...

Yeah that sounds cool. You could also call it "the big ego generation" forum denoting the world as it is today ^_^.

But i would never visit any other forum if there was a Me, Me, Me forum.

That's the point - to keep people like you out of the other forums.

I would also like to voice support for the "me me me" forum. ('Tis a good idea)

Nah, they shouldn't change the name of the way off topic, they should just make a new one. Nobody'll change where they post their retardation if that happens (not that most will anyway but *shrug*).

If anything I think that the off-topic should be changed to the 'Somewhat Related to a-m-v.org Off Topic Forum' and that the Way Off Topic forum should be changed to the 'Completely Unrelated to Anything Forum' or 'The Temjin & Bucket Show'.

I second that also. Or third that... or whatever. Then there'd be at least one forum I could completely ignore! Woot! Some people here, I believe, aren't even really anime fans. They just have friends here and want to post. That'll be the perfect place for 'em :D .

I don't like the name but the idea has merit.

the idea sounds interesting enough, but i think that we should make that into the way off topic forum, so maybe there could be a division of posting quality between the off topic forums
