The Treehouse
 
Why did you decide to make a forum so similar to the treehouse? It's really redundant, and I don't see the point.

tonbo March 14th, 2016 12:33 AM

same thing here. it seems reeeally similar.

i'm not upset yet, but i will be if my threads i make in the treehouse start getting moved to this place. that's dumb.

starseed galaxy auticorn March 14th, 2016 12:38 AM

I agree it's confusing, but if you read this, you'll know this forum is on a three month trial basis. After that trial is over, THEN you guys can voice your opinions on whether it should stay or go.

Hikamaru March 14th, 2016 12:44 AM

As Kimi said, this is a trial section that goes for three months. If the expectations aren't met after that time, then I'm sure these threads will be moved back to The Treehouse.

The slightest difference is, we can spam food.

Universe March 14th, 2016 1:04 AM

I'm kinda in agreement with you guys actually.

Logan March 14th, 2016 1:07 AM

Agreed. We can't argue about it though because people voted for it, let it have its three months. :)

Her March 14th, 2016 1:10 AM

only one can survive

Logan March 14th, 2016 1:11 AM

pc hunger games imo

Klippy March 14th, 2016 1:15 AM

Yup. Not to put any spin on it, but if you guys wanted something different, there were many cool options. :) This one was received the best, though it was a close battle between this and Space. We'll see how things go for awhile. Three months isn't too long of a wait and then we can get another new option to try.

Logan March 14th, 2016 1:27 AM

I BLAME CHASE FOR MAKING ME VOTE FOR IT

EXCUSE YOU

My ability to campaign very well is not to blame for this!!

I kinda really want this forum to survive after the three months period is up. I would love for it to run as a permanent forum. I sort of am in agreement that it is super similar to the treehouse, but I think this one is a lot more clearer in that it deals with health, wellbeing, and lifestyle. Whereas I think the Treehouse differs in that it's just general banter with no clear limitations of its intent or purpose.

Same here. I bet as soon as the three month period is up, people will be more used to this forum and enjoy it more than they think. I really do like this forum because it's fun. I've always felt like The Treehouse was more for those random topics that people like being silly with or to be spammy about... to some extent. Then, with this forum... there's a little more seriousness to it, but not the same kind of seriousness you would get from The Round Table, you know? It might actually have some potential (The Mall). I also would like to see this as a permanent addition myself. It's just going to take sometime for me, and others I assume, to get used it.

Syndrome March 14th, 2016 8:24 AM

I don't really see the problem here. This forum clearly outlines what sort of topics are supposed to be here. I will admit that "lifestyle" may be a broad subject, but that can be fixed in the future if the forum sticks around.

Lumina March 14th, 2016 8:26 AM

i voted for space what the fuck is this

I can't talk about your avatar here because Space lost.

Sonata March 14th, 2016 8:29 AM

I just wanted to talk about food.

My avatar is a painting so you can talk about the Art Hoe™ lifestyle.

If The Mall would stay as a permanent forum, could we still hold a new Forum Foundry/Frontier/Freksjdhskjd and try a new temporary (possibly also permanent) forum? This wasn't just a one time thing, right? (:

No, this is every three months! :)

Christos March 14th, 2016 10:48 AM

I think once people run out of very generic topic ideas the section won't be as similar as the Treehouse. I'm actually hoping for less threads like the relationship and LGBT+ one that would fit in the Treehouse and more about food, fitness and fashion.

Though I prefer something general such as lifestyle that would cover a lot of topics so we could see what works, rather than something very specific such as Space. Science and Nature would be a cool forum (and is fit for space talk too) and I hope it wins the next forum foundry thing.

Sirfetch’d March 14th, 2016 10:56 AM

I think people are comparing this section too much to The Treehouse unfairly. All of the threads that belong here in the past have defaulted to Treehouse threads. There has never been a section like this one(afaik) so naturally things are going to be a bit murky for a while as to what belongs where. Sorta like when The Treehouse and Roundtable were first changed. I think after a few weeks the difference between this section and The Treehouse will become apparent and the comparisons will go away.

I thought you supported the campaign to get food talk out of the Treehouse

i do, at least jokingly, but lifestyle talk in general actually does belong here just fine.

Perhaps we could angle it somehow eventually, accentuate what fits better here and makes lifestyle lifestyle.

I agree that it is redundant, but I do want to offer a different perspective on this.

This Mall forum has made posting in these sorts of sections a much more pleasant experience for me. And I do hope it stays, even if it is redundant. Why is it more pleasant though? It's because I find the Treehouse to be kind of jarrring. There are ridiculous topics based on injokes with older members or things that make no sense (Dinosaur butts) crammed right next to actual discussion. (16 and pregnant) I find it to be irritating because it just isn't funny to me. Particularly since a lot of topics in the Treehouse are ambiguously titled and I might accidentally click on one of those anyway. It's just disorganized.

To make the Mall less redundant, I think that the Treehouse should be made into a completely wacky joke forum so that people who enjoy that can have their space. And the Mall should be made into a more general discussion section. That would mean that those of us who enjoy it would not only get to keep the Mall, but it would serve a distinct, non-redundant function.

As it is right now, I do enjoy it. And as I said, I want the Mall to stay. I just wish things were better organized.
