Inactive forums and forum pleads.
I'm considering removing or condensing and merging some forums. Any forum with less than 100,000 posts sets a poor example and impression on new members interested in joining active sections. We have a steady join rate, but the amount of people who stay aren't very high when you compare the numbers. It's obvious that the post count in forums don't satisfy the new members, so that's why I'm planning to do this.
Since people didn't take too kindly to my mod reviews (which are still in progress, I'm nearly done. I just need a few more things and then I'll post the results for all of you to see.), anyone with a forum less active than 100,000 posts should plead your case here. |
...you do know that includes Black and White, right?
Like, I am totally for getting rid of some of the crappy sections like Game Dev (Yessssssss) and the older gaming forums and TCG, but can you really get away with getting rid of B&W? In other news, TAKE THAT *****ES OVP IS SAFE 8D |

The Black and White forum is exempt being the current up-to-date generation forum. Both Forever and Kaori, aside from their lack of partnership skills (which is going to contribute to my re-examination of their performance as moderators), are safe for now.

2) I highly doubt your silly little games will ever make you money. |
Honestly, I think we could probably do this for under 50k. Or even 75k and just let the threads from the extra forums fall into OC like they used to. But 100k is a bit high.
|
Good to have another admin on my side!
|
Are we you going to delete this forum too? Just wondering.
Oh and the HQ too. |
These are important forums on PC, but I don't think we really need them. HQ and the lounge are completely unnecessary to me. After all, my opinion matters, and I have to make the final decision around here.
|
I was kidding dude.
Now tell me you are too. Please. |
Why would I be kidding? More importantly, why are you?
|
Because this whole suggestion sounds like a joke.
|
If it were a joke, Lightning wouldn't have replied. If it were a joke, I wouldn't have posted this at all. Jokes have no place in this forum as far as I'm concerned. It's for serious discussion on forum matters, and that's all there is to it. If you disagree, that's fine, so be it. But that's what it's here for.
|
Quality over quantity should be the standard, not how many posts a section had. Does that mean all of the newer but active sections should go because they haven't been around long enough to attract a huge arbitrary number of posts? O_o
|
Yes. The newer forums just attract stupid members here and I'd really rather not have that. Any good staff member wouldn't want that.
|
Exactly which forums would this affect? I'm too lazy to check because I know both my forums have over 100k.
|
OK, so with the 100k rule, we are getting rid of or condensing:
Announcements Questions & Feedback Staff Lounge VIP Forum Style Studio Black & White Competitive Battling Center Pokemon Gaming Central Challenges Advance Generation Games Metal and Color Generation Games Spinoff Games Pokemon Anime Pokemon Trading Card Game Fan Fiction and Writing Game Development Video Gaming Computers & Technology Japanese Entertainment Culture & Media Tabletop Games That's 21 forums, some of which are incredibly important to the fabric of the community. And for what? So that the numbers look prettier? That's ridiculous. You're ridiculous. But nothing the mods have to say seems to matter to you anyway, so I'm not really sure why you bothered to post this here at all. |
Down with all of 'em. Good for nothin' forums taking up space.
|
Yes, support the removal of the section that's promoting literacy.
|
... wow. That's a lot more than I thought. Not sure if I wanna say that's a sad thing or not.
|
Lerroux, stop making me post here. It's ****ing annoying to have to see this stuff when again, I am TRYING TO STAY AWAY.
Either way, glad B/W is exempt but you are NOT removing CBC. S&M combined probably had over that amount so it should be exempt too. And if you remove it, I will persuade PPN to remove you. :) |
WHOA WHOA WHOA LET'S NOT BE HASTY NOW. DELETING 21 ****ING FORUMS WILL BE QUITE A LOSS TO THE COMMUNITY.
Seriously, that's 64% of the forums visible from the index! 64%! DELETING THAT MUCH OF THE FORUM IS INSANE AND GIVES THE IMPRESSION OF A TOXIC ATMOSPHERE AT THE WEBSITE! IT WILL SCARE OFF THE BEST AND SMARTEST USERS AND ONLY THE WORST OF THE WORST WILL REMAIN! |

But half of the point of this thread is to plead your cases as leaders of those forums and to convince me that it's not the best thing to do to remove or merge the forum, but a different approach is necessary. Forum pleads. Quote:
