'What...' threads that do not contribute to discussion...

[Kardan]

I read it. I'm sure many others do too! Honestly this debate could go on forever and we would still be in the same place we are now. The final say will have to come from Martin!



Lmao woo more stats.

To be honest, we could go on forever because we're very biased. I'm against such threads, and you post in all of them quite often, so we need other people to get involved really

I think everyones lost interest in this debate. It's a bit of a broken record this one and I can't see anything changing anyway.

How can you say people have lost interest when it's being mainly you and me, and scottish and Intersocial have popped in from time to time.

Isn't the point of a discussion forum to discuss? (And not post random images...)

Like I said, this thread crops up all the time. I've got nothing more to add though, so lets see if anyone else has anything to say about it.

Yes, and surely the fact that it keeps popping up shows that maybe something should be done? I've been searching for these threads, and each time management post in them, and the thread just stops dead with nothing happening.

Like Scott said, I don't really see why post count matters anyways. I rarely post in them forums but I do tend to go in and have a nosey so people do actually look at it.

Why is Anime and Other Entertainment even called that, other than the large Anime General Discussion thread? Most of the threads seems to be about books anyways...

And even then, books don't come up that much anymore. 50 shades of grey is one of the most popular book topics in there tbf - I'm glad Ryan (tmod) decided to create a book club thing though, should spark more interest in it.
@Chris; there are around 90 (give or take a few) threads in the discuss anything forum which have been there since August 23rd last year to August 23rd this year. If that had been implemented around the same time the Anime sub-forum had (Earliest post i see in there is from july 2004), then by now there would be 735 threads or so in there based purely on the past year. Sure it's not tonnes, but considering that bypasses the thread count for debates, is only 300 or so away from the anime sub forum I don't see how it can be obsolete if anime can stay as well as debates (ofc I'm not demanding you scrap debates).

Would you like me to give you an average for post count whilst I'm at it? And see if that is a more promising figure than thread count for you

Rule A7 of the current forum rules:

Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion.

Surely the threads I've highlighted fall into this?

Intersocial I really don't see where you are going with all this statistic crap. It's very unlikely a Food & Drink sub forum will come because you want it. People don't want it no more, there isn't as many threads and previous (hence it's removal) and it will bulk up the General section of the forum even more. It's not needed.

About these pointless threads. I really don't see why we don't trial this sub forum for pointless threads to be honest, atleast we've said we've tried. I've always been up for a sub forum trial but it never happens in the end. These feedback threads bore me.

If people wouldn't have wanted it, then they wouldn't have made the feedback thread ages ago? Sigh. Just going to start to give up.

Do you mods actually alter anything. You refuse to alter these threads, well you've actually agreed to a sub-forum trial which is a good thing I suppose, the filtering got nowhere last night with "c.b.f." and I can't remember the other issue I was going to bring up tbh.

And oh @Kardan; funny thing is, i came across a load of threads in Discuss Anything which were closed for "Only allowing short, limited answers" or something similar :rolleyes:
