There are a few offtopic threads that have a wide audience and people who post regularly in them, for instance the pony thread.

Now there is the tast thread that was closed today by Kwah. Who is to call the thread spam? To us the tast thread is not spam at all. To ME the pony thread is a bunch of spam, but they have been going strong for some time.

All I'm saying is that if the tast thread has to be closed than so does the threads like the pony one and more like it.

And let me remind you all.

[13-54-53] anarchianbedlam: Traxamillion, its in the off topic section. there is no flaming or rage going on. so theres no reason for tast to be closed



Tast be with you.

Exactly. :/

It's so silly what's been happening lately.

Look. The hive is not a serious place. Get the fuck over it. I was talking with Kwah in chat right after he closed it, and he kept telling me he closed it because it "detracts from content of the site." What fucking content? He then wouldn't give me a single instance of this fabled "content," and told me to stop arguing. This site is inheritly content-less. It's not a bad thing. The majority of us just come here to chill out and relax.

People can't be so naive to think that we all care so much about the silly news posts related to Blizzard that people keep making. Hardly anyone gives a shit. It isn't why we are here. And by people, I mean "regulars."

Stuff shouldn't be moderated for usefulness. Instead, just moderate flaming, porn, etc. This whole fucking site isn't technically useful. Who gives a flying fuck? It's just fun shit and people should stop trying to make it something else.

This.

NOT TO MENTION our thread is in OFFTOPIC. Lets use some common sense here.

Pony thread had lots of spam due to the memes of type 'Pictured answer'. I wouldn't call the discussion of episode, fanmade videos or comics work of art that is going on lately 'spam', and I wouldnt put it under the same flag with some completely dumb threads.

This site is inheritly content-less.

It is, and yes who needs Blizzard news and new games, who needs even old games like war3? Because why do we need to give a fuck about old game when we dont give a fuck about new games? Let's close this stupid site.

If some threads like Tast are so badly wanted, there is no prob to be opened but in other cases Offtopic means unrelated not retarded... so gj Kwah

Yea I also think some threads are closed too easily. We're here to have fun, why so serious?

Despite I do want the pony thread to BURN IN HELL, I realised that closing it before this meme died might lead to pony stuff spreading everywhere around the Hive. Sure, I can tolerate some single thread, but ponies everywhere... please no.

Also, some moderators... visit the pony thread themselves real often. So it should be kept clean you know. I know Anarch and some other modbronies might be only adding more spam to it, but it appears Pyritie actually cleans the thread from spam...

You missed the whole point. This site IS spam. This isn't a bad thing. Labeling something spam doesn't instantly make it worthless to the entertainment of others. Clearly a lot of people enjoy the pony and tast threads. There is no reason to close them down if the entire site is just as spammy as them.

It is, and yes who needs Blizzard news and new games, who needs even old games like war3? Because why do we need to give a fuck about old game when we dont give a fuck about new games? Let's close this stupid site.

As sarcastic as that was, you actually are on to something. Your flaw is in your conclusive statement. Just because something is stupid/retarded and/or spammy doesn't mean it's worthy of being shut down. Entertainment value should be the key here.

EDIT: Oh and as a side note, the tast thread was reopened.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

^ Sure, the place has become quite boring and it's fine to have some fun in posting in a thread you like, so im fine keeping that thread. But some threads like 'Who will be THW president' 'How doI become moderator' 'Im leaving' cool but I dont know you , I dont care... was getting too much in few days. I just had this anger inside me when I saw these threads. So that's why Im saying some mass closing was good by Kwah.

Social segregation? "Popular" people posting threads are less likely to have their threads closed even though it's full of crap? No, I don't have the pony thread, but I do agree that the TAST thing was just as good (or bad whatever you prefer) as the pony thread, just not by someone as widely known to the Hive community like Pyritie or WherewolfTherewolf.

Just my two cents.

All i can say that if that tast topic was in the offtopic section, it was inevitable that it would be spammed
I mean, what popular offtopic thread isn't spammed?
That's why they are offtopic, to be spammed with offtopic things :))

If comments in the Tast thread are meaningful to those posting there I feel closing it isn't necessary.

I don't think it can be said that the purpose of the off-topic section is to spam threads with off-topic things, but I don't feel that's what generally happens in most threads anyway (including the Tast thread) with some exceptions now and then.

Well i wanted to say that, since it is an offtopic thread it should be expected to be ,,spammed" still we can't officially call it spam but just a massive number of replies, since that replies or comments have a link with the idea of the thread but still they are in large numbers and new comments come up daily
For example the What you did today, or What is your favorite song at the moment?...

Trolls are, for the most part, instigators, who do it for their own entertainment. It's actually very easy to spot one, just watch their interactions with others.
That's just affirming the consequent. You can't really draw a conclusion based soley on that premise.

Example:

If people have the flu, they cough. Hubcool is coughing. Therefore, Hubcool has the flu.
- As far as I'm aware there are several plausible reasons as to why Hubcool has a frog down his throat.

You guys should reall calm the **** down especially Mr.BOB. This seems like alot of rage.

I believe kwal was just gettting fed up of the spam like http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/off-topic-478/how-do-i-become-moderator-205903/

Which is just probably P***** him of alot.

Also the MLP Thread actually contains some sort of Episode dicussion and everything MLP as in comics alternate stories. Its a way of containing it. Instead of it spreading everywhere as pointed out.

Things like
FSJAL/TAST Etc Are Meme's and only Meme's they have no topical dicussion so

I'm not sure what the exact consideration of spam is, but to be honest 999999Meme's is just getting annoying. The idea of OFFTOPIC is for DICUSSION. NOT 99999999Meme threads.
Although i can see why people thing MLP is just a MEME but believe me its majority is topic related and the MEME factor hardly comes into it as it is usually cleared :L as pointed out already


(As a side note, i personally believe that these meme's all sprouted and came to this site due to people "Not wanting to be a Brony" but still wanting to have some form of identification or be part of a MEME since it sounds fun.

Thus contenders such as TAST and FSJAL were brought here.

So this is partially the MLP threads fault in the first place and i respect that.

MLP Is both a MEME and a TOPICAL Dicussion. But Only The TOPICAL DICUSSION should be allowed on the hive.


Memes should be reserved for Siggies and Avatars

:L

Memes cannot be topics. But topics can become Meme's


And to quote somone in paritcullary in the fsjal thread

"
I've never heard of 'fsjal', but I'll do anything to kill this 'pony' meme :p "

And

"Fsjal is actually arabic for "Epic fail""



On a side note. Mr.bob what you say about hive is completly unacceptable. Hive is and will be foremost for now in this time period a SITE FOR WARCRAFT 3. People do care about wc3 and a vast majority play it/map makers/Artists who do models skins textures etc/Fiction/Terrain.

Hence why 99% of the Subforums are WC3 RELATED.

So in saying that Hive is not serious and everything should be rearranged on how its judged is completly wrong.

Have some respect for this site and stop comparing it to the like of 4chan
Which is mass spam.

Just because you come here to chill and not map make, doesn't mean everyone does.
Wc3 is not dead. Its just not at its peak.


Maybe go map make and look at the vast resources that this site offers.



Also

OFFTOPIC IS FOR OFFTOPIC DICUSSION NOT SOMETHING ELSE.

THIS WAS ALREADY POINTED OUT BY SQUIGGY IN 2008

DOES IT NEED RETELLING?

NO

Well i don't find the Fsjal annoying as i like it, and i not a pony hater aswell, like i already said, i didn't made that social group as an anti pony group or something like that...yes it would be nice if it would reach the popularity of the MLP group but i doubt it will since Fsjal is a meme which is about creativity and affect only avatars, MLP has it's own cartoon for example but i repeat again, i didn't made it to ,,counter" ponies as i have nothing against them...
In my opinion, memes should remain acceptable(This includes MLP, and Fsjal and any other meme) as long as they remain in their social groups...Because that is why they are made...
And while MLP is both a meme and a topical discussion fsjal is a meme and art more or less as you draw avatars and all that

Oh I completely missed this part. Well now. Let's see here.

Well first of all, that's a rather naive way of looking at it. Allow me to explain the resource section to you: "artists" make things expecting praise/experience. 10-12 year old users take these things and use them in crappily put together maps, that are then spammed in the "map section" (which is really nothing short of a disaster).

So in saying that Hive is not serious and everything should be rearranged on how its judged is completly wrong.

The hive isn't serious, and I don't think it should be "rearranged." Quite the opposite infact. I'm saying that the Hive ALREADY IS the way I'm describing it, and it should be seen accordingly.

Have some respect for this site and stop comparing it to the like of 4chan
Which is mass spam.

As hilarious as "have some respect for the site" is, I'll skip that and address the 4chan part. I never spoke to a lack of moderation. Also spam is a relative term. You can't throw it around with no basis and expect to get anywhere.

Just because you come here to chill and not map make, doesn't mean everyone does.

Note how I said "regulars." I was implying that the longstanding and regular members of the community circle generally couldn't give a shit about wc3. And it's true. The site is mostly a hotspot for community activity.

Now, this is not to say that there aren't thousands of people who do come here for the resources and to make maps, but the majority of them are between the ages of 8-14 and don't lend anything at all to the community or stability of this site. It's simply something that exists. If you removed the map section today, the only thing that would happen is that artists would get less praise for their (generally) shitty work.

Hell, even the artist department is done. The majority of good artists have moved on to bigger and better things. The model section in particular never really served as anything other than a 1) praise farm and 2) training ground.

Again, none of this is bad. It just means it's more of an inner circle based community than you think.

Wc3 is not dead. Its just not at its peak.

I define a game as dead when it loses it's sales value, loses company support, and generally has no real stake in the current industry. So no, it's dead. That isn't a problem though. I don't see the point here. It just sounds like you are vigorously trying to put a good word to your favorite game.

Maybe go map make and look at the vast resources that this site offers.

Well I would say "refer to my previous statements," but you've probably forgotten, so I'll say it again.

The resource creators could give a shit about what's being used. The few exceptions are correlated with the shittyness of their actual work. Most of the artists here are either trying to make a name for themselves or are simply gaining experience.

But see, that's the problem. SE and OT are essentially the same at this point. There is no longstanding "topic" that we all have to abide by, so the range of ridiculousness in the topics proposed is completely loose. As long as it's entertaining and doesn't break into the realm of inappropriateness, there is no real reason to shut anything down.

You need to chill out. Threads haven't done anything to you. Did threads mock you? Did they make fun of your parents? Did they beat the crap out of you? No.

Threads love us. We should love them back.

However...

So the subject is disputable, depending on which side you're looking from and how you define the term "spam".


The idea of OFFTOPIC is for DICUSSION. NOT 99999999Meme threads.

We already have that.

So if we have a section for serious discussion and world affairs discussion, how do you categorize off-topic discussion? Again, the subject is disputable. All about how you define "off-topic"

What you need to see is that just becuase people like you are degrading an section of this site doesn't mean the majority of it is.
Also if you realised the majority of the people on this sight arn't kiddies anymore they moved on. Most of them are 16-23

Not all kiddy maps are shitty.

The difference between a MEME and a TOPIC
MEME=MASS CORELLATION OF PICTURES TO NO USE

Topic=A matter dealt with in a text, discourse, or conversation; a subject.
MEME not considered a true subject.

What makes something offtopic. Is something which does not correlate with any of the other forums yet is still a topic ^^.

Medihvs tower is for DEBATES not dicussion as a whole, answers are in a debate form. They are with points.

In OFFTOPIC you dicuss views circumstance but the way you write isn't limited. Offtopic usually has something you can talk about
Medihv consists of arguing ^^
Medihv is a subforum to off topic

WORLD NEWS, has a subject. So it is like any other forum.

Will i get a decent dicussion about what best hallowean costume goes with my pet poodle out of a selection there.
No i will not get an answer niether will be it relevant.
But hey it fits in Offtopic.
As offtopic is for everything else.


THE REGULARS mostly consist of people who do stuff, or talk yes. But alot of them spend there time modeling or map making.



A game is not considered dead untill its community is dead.

Warcraft 3 is not my fav game, that is reserved for Supreme commander and Total anhilation. Although not supcom2 since Gaspoweredgames Screwed with the eco ._.

Your arguments are flawed as in that you want to make things seem vague and less than they are.

Try realism, your being pessamistic, and by respect i mean, Down grading a site which contains alot of hard work and effort into basically a layoutpen for peoples with nothing better to do. When it is also one of the best resource sites out there for warcraft 3, and has even started to expand into Sc2, although Sc2mapster outraces hive for that :L and others.

The whole idea of all these rules and regulations is that when a person comes to this site they can be assured to find good quallity resources, and a very friendly community.

Most people do not post art or anything for praise, people are not that self absolved. They post it for tips and hints. Most of the time when you post forward a resource, you should hope for critiscm which will help you improve on what you have already done.

Yes, I agree that the off-topic forum is about non-relevant stuff, hence the name. But honestly, who is to "measure" the importance of one thread compared to another, such as the Pony Thread and the President Thread? They're both off-topic, encourage people to post and want their opinions, both of which are opinions or statements which has nothing to do with Warcraft.

PS. It's write not right.

WTF o_O
TL:DR


I dont mind fsjal and Tast; 'What do I get for each reputation point' 'how to become a moderator' and 'who will be THW president' made me say 'NOOB 1st time on an internet FORUM cause if you've been to forums before you wouldnt ask that ever...' this is the retarded threads that annoy me, so HAIL Kwah.

Grats THW, with these reputation you made it an epic Kindergarden [1]people count some silly gems, and [2]how to become moderator ARE the reasons to stay and be helpful to community, not cause you like to help. (not that I care just throwing a comment frm a neutral side)

What Brambleclaw is right, at least with the current MLP going on. In maybe 150 pages in between MLP thread was the same kind of spam and meme that should have never been but around it there is lots of discussion on episodes, seasons, games with ponies, art, which makes it a lot different than the mentioned MEMEonly ala Tast and fsjal but yeah those threads r fine when ppl have fun, MY LIFE IS THW STAFF threads is what is pissing, though,

so Burn, Oh Burn evil threads of Satan, made to turn harmony and peace into chaos!

Pssst! Hint: What is the point of this thread when Tast is reopened?

Oh right, because the tast thread was just full of pictures.

Also, I'm not entirely sure you have the correct definition of topic. If we're being grammatical here, anything can be a topic. Even a meme.

The term "something" is what you should be focusing on here.

"Medihv consists of arguing?" Ok...? What does this have to do with the legitimacy of certain topics...

Again... What does this have to do with... Dear lord I give up.

Will i get a decent dicussion about what best hallowean costume goes with my pet poodle out of a selection there.
No i will not get an answer niether will be it relevant.
But hey it fits in Offtopic.
As offtopic is for everything else.

I don't even know where to begin. It's like you didn't even read my post.

It's not about what is and what isn't a good topic. It's about whether or not we can decide.

THE REGULARS mostly consist of people who do stuff, or talk yes. But alot of them spend there time modeling or map making.

Name some.

A game is not considered dead untill its community is dead.

In that case, 99% of games ever released are still alive and well.

For instance, Total Annihilation (a game you mentioned). It has a community larger than the one here. It's still a dead game.

Warcraft 3 is not my fav game, that is reserved for Supreme commander and Total anhilation. Although not supcom2 since Gaspoweredgames Screwed with the eco ._.

"I LIEK THAT BATMAN GAMEZ"

Your arguments are flawed as in that you want to make things seem vague and less than they are.

Vague? It is vague. Define spam.

Try realism, your being pessamistic, and by respect i mean, Down grading a site which contains alot of hard work and effort into basically a layoutpen for peoples with nothing better to do. When it is also one of the best resource sites out there for warcraft 3, and has even started to expand into Sc2, although Sc2mapster outraces hive for that :L and others.

I'm downgrading the site? I think I said about 5 times that nothing that I've said makes the site in any way bad. It just means it's not a pusspot of "wc3 related content"

The whole idea of all these rules and regulations is that when a person comes to this site they can be assured to find good quallity resources, and a very friendly community.

I'm not sure that the resources have anything to do with it. Also, I never said that rules in general are bad. Read my post again.

Most people do not post art or anything for praise, people are not that self absolved. They post it for tips and hints. Most of the time when you post forward a resource, you should hope for critiscm which will help you improve on what you have already done.

I'm not sure where you've been, but talk to any major artist of the past. (As there aren't really any good ones anymore.)

You are to illiterate to understand. I am wasting my words on a troll, who doesn't even understand what a debate consists of. :L

OLOLOL, MASSIVE TL;DR?? AIGHT.

Ok, first off, Brambleclaw. Dear Brambleclaw... I've never seen such a huge amount of sophisms being used in the same post, really. I'd destroy all your points one by one, but sadly, I feel it's gonna be hardly worth it, so here are the main points.

1. When you tell someone to calm down, it's always better to do the same to not look like a pathetic fool.

2. The fsjal thread has several pages of comment, if you took any time to read them you'd realize there is as much going on in there than in the MLP thread, young artists posting their stuff, some help here and there, video discussion, etc.

3. Memes are on the internet since its very beginning. Get used to it. Your point about people bringing 'non-brony' memes on hive is just stupidly silly, fsjal has been up since more than 2 years and hive had dozen of much better memes in the past, don't go think MLP is anything better.

4. Don't try to make up rules that would fit what you like and impose them to other members. Just, don't.

5. I don't see the point about you quoting 'fsjal means epic fail', how is that relevant in any way? Not much more irrelevant than your other arguments, but this is a highlight.

6. About your little personal feud with Bob, you tell him to respect the hive, to right after call 4chan 'mass spam'? Am I totally going nut or is that the complete opposite of respect? It's soooo wrong to bash on something just because you don't understand it.

7. I probably forgot to say a shitload, but these are the points that popped to my face right away.

To all the others, I just think that the point of this thread is indeed over, I actually have some respect for Kwah for listening to what we had to say and re-opening the thread (which was the initial point).

I think that tleno, actually, has brought the most important point of all: the fact that there ever was a need for this thread to be made means that the forum's description of spam, off-topic, etc can be misleading as it is. It may need to be revised sooner or later.

Here I was spending my time constructively shoving a battery up my nose when, alas, particular content in this thread combined with an involuntary hectic fencing response brought about such an abrupt and uncomfortable end to my enjoyment that I decided to excessively voice my umbrage. My concern is simple. I just can't fathom how some harmless group of casual jesters manage to provoke people to act like they're subjected to urethreal sea urchins. It's really just peculiar. So you know what, now is as good a time as any to just dissect this matter once and for all.

The nature of this debate is really quite self-explanatory. What is it about the notion of people socializing in groups that drives you up a tree? And don't give me the whole "memes are faggoty" wash, because that really doesn't score you any supplementary maturity points. It's time to pitch without that particular safety-net.


If this is part of some personal ambition, trust me, you won't go down a revered countercultural hero. You'll at best just kick the bucket a socially awkward schizoid old fart blaming stuff on the government. Which admittedly doesn't sound half bad, but give me a moment to catch my breath and I can scheme scenarios in which you meet with far more unpleasant fates than my nostril.
