Something Else forum removed

[Linaze]

The fun as you know it now is leaving, and it ain't coming back.

 

[En_Fuego]

People like [them] can't differentiate between the SE, OT, and the rest of the forum, can [they]? That's why SE and OT are done. I wonder if [they] can understand that?

 

[Masiah]

I'm supporting this decision more and more by each passing moment.

 

[Vosty]

Wow, this thread is gonna get locked, cause this is SO off-topic, and there cracking down on that now. Just like drunk-driving and wearing a seatbelt**



** In America

 

[Hakeem]

One report per thread is fine, thanks.

 

[Vampiro320]

I suppose it could be a bad thing. Sometime people need to say something and they just can't help/keep it in themselves. You guys remember nova, and his talk about his girlfriend, well there's a good example.
I'm sure the something else topic will be missed, but i guess there isn't much us normal users can do about it. Wasn't there a pols forum that got deleted too, I can't remember.
I understand all the things that we post have to be recorded on SOMEONE'S computer, and it only has so much space, but if it really gets to be such a problem, there should be people who just go around, and delete all the empty/forgotten/unused threads.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Yeah, I don't think that deleting SE will be a solution, but it will just bring more problems. It was a funny section. =(

 

[Vampiro320]

It's always nice to have somewhere to go just for kicks.

 

[PurplePoot]

OT? The chat? Although you are expected to be at least somewhat civilized there.

 

[BlargHonk]

We were expected to be civil in SE too

No porn for example

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

That's not being civil, that's just common sense.

 

[Billy the Cat]

That's not being civil, that's just common sense.

Sadly these two words 'common' and 'sense' are not on the same page in every Hiver's dictionary.

 

[BlargHonk]

True ._.

Still being civil

 

[Desolator]

So, no more spams?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

No more spams indeed.

Good riddance.

 

[Vampiro320]

I dunno, the off-topic forum can still get way out of hand.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Yeah, I don't really understand why they removed SE, if they did some thinking at all.

 

[Pyritie]

dunno about you, but I think the quality of OT has been improving a lot lately

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I still preferred when they left Something Else alone, just let it be as it is, it's already like the only place we can relax in without being so afraid of Moderators killing us...

 

[Vampiro320]

Maybe the next time we get someone like nova here again we can send him to the something else section, where people would appreciate reading it, and he might get some good replies other than a bunch of angry people. The only problem is it's been removed. Some people just can't help themselves and sending these things to the something else section is a lot better than banning them. You never can really know for sure what a mans potential is across the net.
I can think of a couple things this area could have done for us, but I'll leave it at this.

 

[HINDYhat]

Haha.

[...] where people would appreciate reading it [...]

HAHA.

[...] and he might get some good replies other than a bunch of angry people.

HAHAHAHA.

Really now, you're oblivious to that fact that Nova was trolling you?

SE was a big pile of poo. But it was that kind of big pile of poo that was humourously disgusting, and you might even end up telling people about it.

 

[Vampiro320]

Don't think I'm completely oblivious to such facts, I read posts such as his when I'm bored, and could use something interesting/funny to read at the time. I personally enjoyed the one about his teeth growing extra large, and getting longer, I still joke about it sometimes. You got to admit, hearing about people real, or fake love life is quite funny. Some parts of his 'Ashlyn' stories got made me laugh.

 

[BlargHonk]

SE is funny, sometimes

The "While you Read This" one by Cockroach was funny

 

[HappyCockroach]

lol, you can give better examples than that.

The thing is that the arguments are always concerning usefulness. Does everything need to be useful?
SE was funny, really. Therefore it was good.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

We have the chat. You can always go batshit stupid there.

 

[HappyCockroach]

You know the chat doesn't work as SE.

 

[Pyritie]

Then use msn or something.

 

[LordDz]

BAN HIM!
But, not knowing that the forum that was removed, existed, I feel sad now, as most of my posts are pure spam/lazy posting, that forum could be perfect for me!

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

You don't have to spam and act like a retard, you know. You can be smart.

 

[Vampiro320]

You don't have to spam and act like a retard, you know. You can be smart.

Things like that are dangerously hard for some people.

 

[LordDz]

You don't have to spam and act like a retard, you know. You can be smart.

But that's boring and who said spam had to be retarded?

 

[Miss_Foxy]

So could we please have the 'Something Else' Forum back...? The Off-Topic itself was mainly just for us to do Sensible-Not-Spam-and-Not-Fun Threads, while the Something Else was made for well -- Anything else that wasn't added inside General Discussion, in other words, that's Killing A Few Hundreds Of Birds With One Stone (Or Forum)... So please, if you guys would consider it, please get the Something Else Forum back...

 

[BlargHonk]

God.


Come on Squiggy, I am waiting.....

 

[Miss_Foxy]

So... Could you consider to the Something Else Revive...? Read my above post please...

You have a point, but it doesn't really matter here. After all, we are reclaiming our good ol' bunch of crap. It won't work out. SE may be back if needed, as we predict.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

How about we replace Something Else with another kind of forum like a 'Homework Help Forum' or an 'Anime Forum' or a 'Suggestion Forum'... That way, we can still cover up some of the needs of users from the 'Something Else Forum'...

Suggestion forum sounds nice, but I think some of the other forums could be used for that. I'm afraid an anime forum will attract some trolls, since there are some here on the Hive.

 

[Coolty44]

If you rename it, just call it by what defines it, Spam forums

 

[HappyCockroach]

Something Else should become NoContentSrry
=)

 

[Vosty]

Noammo really ruined this for us, didn't he?
Jus kidden. i still think he is funny to some degree.

 

[Vampiro320]

Yes, If it comes back that is definantely what we should call it. Those are the kinds of names that attract the kinds of people who actually like reading them. And it tells the ones that don't that this isn't your place.

 

[PurplePoot]

But seriously, why is it necessary to have a spamming section?

 

[HappyCockroach]

It can concentrate the spam amount inside somewhere harmless and quite funny, I say.

 

[Vosty]

Yeah, it helps keeping it out of everywhere else.

 

[BlargHonk]

It does allow the 4Mind on Hive tho

 

[En_Fuego]

If there's a "no spam" rule, why would me make a forum just to break it?

What I mean is that there's a "no spam" rule for a reason.

 

[HINDYhat]

As if it really prevented spam in the first place.

 

[PurplePoot]

If anything it just made people accustomed to the sort of behaviour we didn't want.

 

[BlargHonk]

True...

But sometimes you just have something random to say or show, and that is a good place for it.

 

[Vosty]

If only certain people were smart enough to stop acting like a fag outside of the section, and only inside....
Don't expect people to start being that way soon.
