theculturewarrior Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 [quote name='Raphael' date='Sep 13 2004, 03:12 PM'] I don't think that's what dUSt is trying to do. I think humor threads and stuff are fine...I just think it's the completely random threads that people put out here just because they can. I think dUSt is trying to discourage that for the sake of bandwidth. I mean...there are so many random threads that don't really have much of a subject...and people repeat themselves so many times in them...it's costing dUSt... [/quote] I'm glad humor threads are okay, and I really respect that dUSt is in a difficult situation. You're post leaves me wondering however, how is moving random threads to another phorum going to save bandwidth? Are the posts not going to go back that phar?

homeschoolmom Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 maybe if people see that writing a thread like "Hey TCW how you doing today" thread will only get it send to the Lame board, they will stop doing it. There are many threads that look more like PM conversations than threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 (edited) I don't think bandwidth was really part of the consideration. I think it's just trying to weed out the non-constructive threads. I could be wrong, but that's how I read it.

Lil Red Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 i agree with hsmom, some threads should be pm's or messenger or im's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Moving them won't help, but placing them in another phorum, one which doesn't get as many people, may make people realize that it's not worth the effort to go to the other phorum to post and, since they can't post it here, they might just not post random threads at all. That's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theculturewarrior Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Well, I'm pheeling better about it already. I've witnessed a forum become over-regulated, and I really don't like that, but I can see we still have creative phreedom. Praise God. And thanks dUSt for a great phorum.
