Also having too many different catagories only promotes spam.
Quite the opposite really ^^; having enough categories stops people from feeling the need to begin talking about a topic (within any thread) that isn't covered on the boards, and thereby off-topicing the thread they are talking in
Also, you know you can MOVE topics.
It wouldn't be fair just to move someone's whole thread because other people started off-topicing in it ^^; If a thread has seriously gone off-topic then it can be split and moved to funtime. Funtime acts as an area where off-topicing is more free to happen, so if you don't like the subject of any thread around PC you can just talk there, rather than off-topicing someone's thread and making us split and move it due to what you've posted =\
It's about having consideration for the creater or topic of the thread, and so that other people posting in the thread can keep up (if they're having to wade thru off-topicing, it can become very confusing) ^^

No matter how many categories we have, that isn't allowed...

But Arcanine's post says it all. Fun time is supposed to be used for games, yet nowadays, it's turned into a drift dump. If you're going to do that, at least edit the description of it. =\

..what do you mean? ^^;

I haven't split a thread into FT yet, as i haven't come across one that is that much of a problem =\ The choice is really either have the posts deleted, or moved to FT, so im sure people would rather have them moved to FT if the problem gets to be that bad ^^; most off-topicing involves random DCC posts, OC posts, or *throws* style FT posts, so they can just be moved to their relevant section
Really, people shouldn't off-topic so drastically for a thread to have to be split ^^; taking their convo elsewhere isn't hard ^^;

Can't say that I disagree. Nowadays, Fun time is more like an anti-postcount dump for threads with the slightest bit of drifting.
It's true. When Kwesi started Fun Time it was the only forum where posts didn't count. We wanted a forum where posts didn't count for threads like The One Above. Where it's a game but not really something for OC because it's not really talking about anything. But now days it has turned into a forum where pointless threads are dumped that might get some posts.
Sad how it went from a game forum to a type of "spam dump". -_-;;

By the way you are saying it.That and the Unknown Duegon are very much alike.Many threads arent needed a lot in a way.Shouldn't funtime be deleted then or be like the T Dome like you cant post in it anymore and and a new one will be made with some rules.Funtime is mainly a froum where members can spam withoug getting in trouble.Does anybody get my point.

No what I'm saying is it should be a game forum again. If a thread is pointless then it should be locked, not moved to Fun Time just because posts don't count in there. It's like moving a pointless thread to Pokmon Trivia & Games just because posts also don't count there.
But not locked or deleted or anything. Lots of members have fun with them games and so on. But I just don't like seeing it being used as a place to drop off pointless threads (all I'm saying is, it started out as a game forum, it should stay that way).

Is'nt this called "Staff Feedback Thread". *Hides in fear as the mighty Andy comes marching with a sword*. Hey I was just asking.

Anyway, since people do discuss a lot about forums here, why don't you change it to "Staff/ Forum Feedback thread", I'm kinda serious here.

*points at CC* Like I said, drifting occurs all the time. No need to complain, we were talking about how the staff use Fun time in PokLand as a spam dump. =\

And MegaD, FtiP _isn't_ a place where you can "spam without getting in trouble", but rather a place where you can play games that don't add to your postcount, hence the name "Fun time in PokLand." Same with Pokmon Trivia and Games.

And that's exactly my point. Spam isn't allowed anywhere on PC, which was why disabling postcount in FtiP/PTaG serves no purpose. Whether you're playing a game or not, you're still posting, and that's the purpose of postcount - showing how many posts you've made. But yeah, I'm not getting into that again...

Meh, why the lack of moderation in the rom-hacking board? I view nearly every new thread and quite a few need to be moved/edited and such. At one stage a thread was in Hacks Showcase for over a week, when it belonged in Game Developement, weird, I try to help out, but I think there should be a new mod, too many messy posts all over the place >.>;

I actually agree with that. XD

I know, there are 4 main reasons to this
1) Report Post button is Off - It's not exactly off but it sends emails and 1/2 of our mods don't exactly check Emails that regularly.

2) PIKA2 is kinda absent for a long time. I asked Jake this and he said that PIKA2 had given "Notice of Absence" for some time and he currently is having some problem.

3) Alexiz is really busy this month and he's not able to visit all forums.

4) Rom-Hacking is the most populated forum in PC(Atleast 2nd). It goes down only compared to Art Forum which has got 100 threads more than it. Also 14% of the newbies who join PC are newbie Rom-Hackers who don't know much things and they wildly post threads everywhere around.

Eva, I think you just PM Jake or Claire or anyother Praetor anything is wrong. Don't Report any post. It'll be really nice if Steve Installs the Report Post Hack to send PM's to mods. Things would get done uber fast here.

And Tyler it's not the flamiest. It's just that more newbies who don't bother to read the rules join there. And PC is the only Rom-Hacking(which has been running for quite sometime), which has a set of rules and does not allow flaming. If you goto other Rom-hacking Forums (No names), you'll see that words like "F", "Bit" and many are used just like "Fish", "Basket", etc.

Thus members who come here from those places to make their hack popular or to ask for help, spam and flame if they don't like things here which is perfectly legal in their forums.

Don't insult Rom-Hacking otherwise me & Eva'll get an army against you.LOL!

Edit : I have kinda an idea but I don't know how it'll work out. How about if we have an Advanced Hacking Forum like the RP and only those who get permission by the mods are allowed inside. (But I seriously know it'll never work out with the number of noobs we get)

It's true. The idea of postcount is to show how many posts you've made, so anti-postcount areas pretty much defeat the purpose of it.
Well, a lot of people make posts in Fun Time in Pokland. I sorta know you pretty much said this but anyway. If FTiP is supposed to be just games, not spam, then what's the point of turning post count off? It's not spammy so people can't spam in it for post count. It's just like any other forum but people have more fun in it. Besides, some members who only post in there have miniscule post counts but if post count there was turned back on there they'd have hundreds, even thousands, more.

Well CC, that's why we need another mod >.>; because no mod+ other than Jake usually checks it out, and Alexiz is always busy, they definately need another mod. And I agree, alot of n00bs make their first post in the rom-hacking board, plus with all the sub-boards, ALOT of people post in the wrong board, all the time, and noone ever moves them...meh...
