sorry for confusing you
I truly never meant to make this randoom. I don't understand why randoomers have given me so much shit for it.

I CANNOT believe the reaction I have received.
It is very revealing though....
i think zoney was right on the money with his coexist idea.Zootlesque said:I don't think anyone BUT the mods should be involved in trying to merge threads. Some people have got to stop acting as the self-righteous policemen of this board.

except for the fact that there are different people involved in these chat threads, it's pretty much the same shit in a different thread. and zootlesque, you're describing, interviewing, and octagon barring in all of them anyway, so what's the difference to you?
i think it's lame to come in here and see 10 fucking chat threads cluttering the front page. and YES i AM capable of scrolling, but i still think they're lame.
what you call 'self-righteous policing', i call 'quality control'. and i'm all for it.

It's the equivalent of closing down all the mom and pop stores and having just one mega chain store in your neighbourhood.
The thing that I don't get is... If Sicy, KhanadaRhodes, Neutral or the other mods have no problem with multiple chat threads, then why should we??? Who is the moderator here?

There are still the other chat threads available.
the mods are bound by the rules of the forum, which in so many words states that you can't be rude to members of the forum or members of the band. outside of that, people are pretty much free to post whatever crap they like without the fear of getting banned, warned or having their thread closed. and surprise, surprise, they do! have you seen this thread? not everyone thinks these chat threads and their proliferation are as cute as you do.Zootlesque said:The thing that I don't get is...

i think jumbling all these threads together has just proved how cliquish they are. very revealing, indeed.And I disagree that they are cliqish... But just jumbling everything into one huge chat thread doesn't work IMO.
lamest. analogy. ever.It's the equivalent of closing down all the mom and pop stores and having just one mega chain store in your neighbourhood.
That was not the intention, though.. I don't think. From what I could make out from the title of this thread and the first few posts, this is a call to shut down the other threads and have just one instead.
I just don't see anything wrong with multiple chat threads, esp. if the mods don't have a problem with them.

I think he was just trying to get people from the other chat threads to talk in one thread and get to know each other. Again, I can't speak for him though.
Zootlesque said:
And I say the MERGE decision be made by the moderator, not by one of us. It's as simple as that.
and zootlesque, zoney isn't a mod. he doesn't have the power to actually merge threads. he made a new thread possibly in the interests of 'coexisting' or satirizing the fact that there are waaayy too many chat threads. i can't speak for him, so he'll have to weigh in himself regarding his reasons.lmjhitman said:what you call 'self-righteous policing', i call 'quality control'. and i'm all for it.
lmjhitman said:
I have to say, deathy, when you post about cliques in Lemonade Stand, I hear something that sounds an awful lot like a pot bitching about a kettle...
Aye, but it's maybe not really cool to accuse people of creating pointless threads centered around cliques when the very same could be said about you, Kieran, Bassy...none of whom, including you, I have a problem with. Your threads, or theirs, don't bother me in the least. But could we assume that YOUR threads would then be moved to this new forum, too?
i've never disputed that there are cliques on this board. i just thought it was interesting that this thread has shown that to the otherwise warm, fuzzy, hug-sharing masses who frequent these chat threads.Zootlesque said:
Thanks for the link! It shows how hypocritical this whole excercise of 'clearing the clutter of the chat threads' can be.
Below are pax's responses in that thread... which I agree with.
and while every thread STARTS out unique, it always degenerates into boomcha declaring the thread is shit, and numerous death threats issued to jamison - but that's my favourite part. and when it falls off the front page, no one freaks out and makes a new one called deathbear v.2 or whatever.but every thread started is at least unique.
that's what separates those threads from the ten billionth version of "random".

Originally posted by kariannI didnt mean for it to come across that way. I havent been around much and had no idea that there was some kind of merge going on. I had started the other thread not knowing if it was supposed be going on and just wanted to know if I should have or not. I had a rough day and was a little moody an testy so that probably came out. I'm sorry if it offended anybody
*and*
I think this week has finally worn on me
She didn't realize what was going on. Period. End of story.
Can't we all just get along?
*posts this and goes to hide*

which, incidentally, wasn't really a merge at all!U2SavesTheWorld said:Thats why I don't really understand the drama of The Giant Chat Merge Incident of 2005.

Jamison MUST die.
Even if I have to go to his supposed ninja classes and use brute force.
