[THE Lucifer]

Instead of having a stupid trash talk combine misc idle chat, flaming shit and tech discussions, how about at least the latter get a sub cat. of its own?
General discussion for I.T./I.S./coding and related criteria.

It's kind of stupid going from topics about spyd spamming, murphy repremending him, to a vader game thread and up with compilers and VPN installments.

That is up to MGB, also I agree with you.

[Solo Ace]

Default, do you think he doesn't know?

A few people (including me) already suggested this, but getting MGB to do this requires more threads of the serious type.

Make me an Admin and i'll deal with this! Lol :P

omgroflcopterbbq you should do standup</sarcasm>

I would do something about it, but anytime I suggest anything, no one cares. I was thinking about changing into what I had designed there over winter break, as I'll have the time to do little extra changes I wanted without school destroying my free time.

[Dr Brain]

I care! I've posted two topics on the subject, and said that I agreed mostly with your layout.

I see three good supporting posts, although they all have the same suggestion of Zone Junk merging with Trash Talk, and I agree with them on that.

Make a change if you want to, don't if you don't. It's your forums, and I hope the only negative feedback on that thread from Grav won't deter you.

[Solid_Fire]

Well, for technical problems and such theres other forums for that, why would a 2D game merge with technical issues?

Because there may be people here who think about other things than this "game", too?

Heh, is this new forum for coding topics only? What about other tech stuff?
For example, if I ate my webcam, where am I supposed to ask how to put it to night-view?

[THE Lucifer]

Murphy knows I'm smarter than all of you combined and that eventualy, I am right.

Also, what negative feedback?
Stupid rat.

For a "no one cares" that thread sure got a nice dozen+ replies.

[Mine GO BOOM]

[THE Lucifer]

I don't bother to read, it's longer than two posts.

P.S.
Your new banner stinks, it's like "a wannabe" or something.

[THE Lucifer]

Lemme see now...[strike](work in progress, editing as I go...sheesh murphy, is this how your coding work look like? what a jumbled mess) [/strike]*yeah, I know BBcode didn't thought the HTML strike code is necessary to include...blah*

In no particular order;
Canges made as follows:

• General Questions and ASSS Questions merged in to Server Questions.
  
• Client Questions added for properly handling client tech support, which in the past was thrown in the general Qs or onto TT (which isn't a suitable place for dealing with it).
  
• Non-Subspace Related Coding gets merged with the Tech Discussion.
  
• Server Suggestions gets merged with ASSS Customization.
  
• Chatnet Protocol gets merged with Bot Programming (don't see anyone making a viable client, but most try to make bots, it could also go under ASSS because the protocol is issued by the server, and network handling optimization is server-derived first and the client is secondary and essentialy, bots are clients).
  
• Zone Junk retains an independent forum, renamed to Zone Propoganda and placed alongside TT under a spam category.
  
• Misc User Apps disbanded, its threads reallocated and distributed properly among the various Development-category forums.
  
• Trash Talk split for strict flame/spam (a good place for ban threads such as that lepper colony or wtfever shit, the spyed inquisition and other unrelated stupid petty wars of spammers).
  
• Recreational Lounge established for misc idle chatter, as long as it's an intelligent/fun one.
  

Additional points/considerations:

1.
I want Tech Dis to be strictly for IT/IS/coding and recrational for our general "look, I found pandora website for music lovers, look GW bush said the economic depression is diminishing, look blah blah blah, check out this cool game I found" etc.
As said, flame/spam/utter fucking retardecy go to the TT.

2.
I guess we can throw TT back into General-category and eliminate the Zone Propoganda.
Thing is, are zone advertisings considered S.P.A.M.?
I know they're ussualy quite Pointless, I know some perceive them as Annoying, they're certainly Messages, however(but), are they Stupid? I don't think so; There's nothing stupid about wanting to advertise your zone.
Perhaps the best thing, would be to either restrict "rants" to actual rants/oppinions, instead of full blown flamewar/trash talk, or seal the propoganda for advertising alone and remove rants to the trash talk...

[THE Lucifer]

1. True, however the bot section isn't split, do you suggest we split that one as well, perhaps a new cat.?
   
2. Alright, but we still inccur quite a few of these, wouldn't it be better to house them under a purposed forum and remove excess irrelevant replies instead of tossing them into TT?
   
3. I don't see how that collide with the current stracture. Non-SS code is taken to the Tech Discussion while SS-related code is distributed among the proper development sections.
   
4. N/A.
   
5. N/A.
   
6. Then merge into TT and place TT back in general?
   
7. Bots ARE 3rd party code...again I fail to see the problem without more detailed specifics regarding your "plans".
   
8. N/A.
   
9. Trash talk should be what its name represents - trash : spam, flames, etc. If you want it to include normal chat then a required renaming is in order.

What of the Tech forum, then?

I prefer to use the edit function than bothering with previews.
I was never a fan of the preview feature.

[Dr Brain]

Problem is, Grav, that what you think of as intelligent conversation and what everyone else things of as intelligent conversation are radically different things. A forum that only allows intelligent conversation would probably end up moderating you entirely out.
