In general, I think we're pretty accepting of new people though. Maybe it is a little intimidating since many of us have known each other for so long, but that's nothing that's going to be solved by combining forums as far as I can see. Honestly, if one can't figure out that NBA goes in NBA, NFL in NFL and politics in politics, this probably isn't the place for them anyways, but I don't think that that's the problem. It takes 5 seconds to switch between forums so I don't think the time issue someone was complaining about applies either.

    The point I haven't been able to see anyone make is how combining the forums will somehow magically lead to more quality posters. I just don't see it, and that's why I think it would be just sweeping things under the rug. You can combine the forums and make them artificially seem busier but all that does is make things seem better/busier, not fix them.

    I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence saying the OT forum was active, I don't think I ever said that even. What I did say, and what was and is true, was that if the forums were combined, threads would drop off the first page quickly. I feel that that's just as detrimental to gaining new posters as you feel that having too many forums does. Now, whether that's because we're just "Topping off year old threads" is a separate issue altogether, one that has nothing to do with anything that was being discussed. Would you rather we made a different "Currently Listening To" thread every week? What would that solve?

    I got a little worked up for no reason, sorry. I don't really care too much either way, just wanted to see some logic behind it.

    I'm reppin' Jesus Christ and Conservative views....



    Quick piece by VINNY which was a logo style of his. VINNY also did two letter throw up's by the name of FI 2.

    It's self-regulating. Those threads are on the front page now exactly because people aren't sick of them. I will frequently fish one off the second or third page if I have something to add to one of the old, running bits.

    Maybe it's just that most of the crap I post doesn't warrant a new thread, I don't know but it works for me. Ain't broke, don't fix.
