merge all the word on the street forums might be the answer. It would make the place seem more lively

I know the mods would never listen for some dumb reason but they should actually think about this

I think geg suggested this way back actually

I know it sounds radical but again it will give the board a greater sense of movement.
It will bring more of the posters together
people will post in threads in subforums that they wouldn't otherwise be visiting.
community will thrive

anyway some of these subforums only get three thread bumps a day. it's not like we'd lose shit to chaos. I think we should try it

I wish i could articulate my arguments better right now but i gotta study

no but that expansion was a perfect example of poor ideology and a step in the wrong direction
people might actually post about things we don't talk about anywhere if we had an everything goes type forum

this place is dying anyway

where is the business move?

do they wanna keep it alive or not?

if they do they gotta take a risk

don't get all Buddhist with me spike. I'm not ready to let this thing die yet. I don't want this part of me to die yet.

you need to take yourself out of the equation, dev.

but it's like if the changes on facebook were optional no one would choose them. we have to force the change to see it's potential.

I would love to hear from a mod, I'm bored

scott zeagle, I just made an argument against that are you for the change or not?

ScottZeagle · **Posted:** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:00 am

Honestly, I don't care one way or the other.

I use the "view new posts" link, so it won't affect me.
