Dam man, you just squashed both points of getting rid of the thread.

Point 1 : Speed
Fail

Point 2 : Noobs will post there
Moot/Fail

[comhcinc]

i thought the points was just to be dicks

[Guitar Woman]

I have a gigantic ignore list all of a sudden!

[Tadao]

Good point.

What should we vote/change next because.

[Tadao]

Let's limit signatures to just text and avatar size to 50x50 to speed up browsing.

go to hell

[Guitar Woman]

this thread is basically the embodiment of what everyone was afraid would happen after the redesign and I think it should be deleted and then we forget it ever happened

[Chojin]

Well, I talked with rog about it for a while and whined and caroused and whatnot and I still don't understand what moving the thread is supposed to accomplish.

[comhcinc]

can we vote someone off the island? do we have an island? can we buy one?

[Guitar Woman]

shut the fuck up, esco

why would you kill a chat room thread? really? it's much easier to just go there to search if i knew it was in there. it would be much easier to keep it for reference purpose, and loading the thread makes no difference of a wait for me. Same with PYPH and Let's all get to know each other. Another purpose it serves is that it's the largest thread on the boards, and I feel that it would be counter-productive in building history here to restart it, even if the original is backed up.

bring postcounts back too

[Chojin]

no, fuck postcounts

they're still in your profile if you want to go polish them or something

[Tadao]

I'm now convinced he is enjoying holding his finger over the red button while people cry over thier beloved memories and others show thier nasty vendictive face (but still hide behind a blind poll).

I can hear him "Bwahahahaha"ing

[Guitar Woman]

I'd imagine his laugh to be exactly like Bowser's in Hotel Mario

[Emu]

but riiiiickyyyyyyy

[Mockery]

blahblahblah, stop whining about it and just cast yer votes. I'm not gonna move the thread if the vote to move it only wins by one vote or some shit, it has to be an overwhelming vote swing one way or the other. None of that 51% to 49% shit.

And regardless of what the outcome is, to those of you bitching about new users and their so-called "invalid" opinions: shut up. We get it. You've been here longer than them and therefore everybody else should think you're very special. Frankly, I'll take the new users who've actually been adding something to discussions on the site instead of 2 people in the chat room thread responding to themselves for an entire page. We've got some great "vets" on the forum, but we've got plenty that rarely contribute anything to a discussion, even though they're fully capable of doing so.

[Emu]

seriously tho what would the new chat be? the same two people responding to eachother all over again, except with 1 page and a 1 second faster loading time

[MLE]

The chat room isn't going to change by making it restart. What is honestly the point? I haven't gotten that yet.

[Emu]

where is pub to weigh in on this

[Guitar Woman]

I see no problem with the way the forums were when I woke up this morning, why do you have to go being a TROUBLEMAKER

[Tadao]

Hah! Throwing gas on a fire technique? You are a sick man.

[comhcinc]

i think the point is a lot of new people find a thread with so many post in it hard to join. i gathered right away that it was a contuning chatter but some might not.

[Mockery]

As I mentioned before, it would be to give it a new beginning, to encourage new forum members to join in to chat and yes, why not reduce the additional load time if possible (which despite "the word of science" does exceed 1-3 seconds more often than not for me). But I've left it up to the users, it's your forum too, so you guys decide as a whole.

Possibly, but I think more discouraging to them is users like Publover quoting everybody who posts in the "new users: introduce yourself" thread and bitching about them. Not exactly the kind of thing that's gonna make new users want to join in... and if they do, it's just gonna create some whiny bitchfest between the two of 'em.
