Fold this forum back into the OT?

[LordShiva]

first people say they don't want their threads to be 'buried' and now I hear we don't want them bumped either.

ignore is a better way to deal with that than hiding your threads from attention on a subforum.

[Ecthy]

There was no need to bump it, what a silly strawman. Spam cannot be excused with higher motives.

[LordShiva]

I despise dichotomic thinking and at teh moment feel an urge to ostentatiously ignore your post.

[Ben Kenobi]

Merge.

I thought that was the point of an "offtopic" to contain ALL the threads that have nothing to do with civ.

History and tech have proven to be chaff.

[Ecthy]

Look Ben the Off Topic section wouldn't lose that function, just contain more than one subforum.

is that so hard to grasp?

[Zkribbler]

No posts in this subforum today.
Two threads with posts in them yesterday.
One thread with a post in it on the day before.

This subforum is dyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyying.

[LordShiva]

Not dying, dead

Teh majority of posts in teh forum are about whether to keep teh forum alive

[Ecthy]

if you stopped posting then that would change.

How could that make the tiniest shred of sense?

[Ecthy]

It would change the majority in favour of topical posts. Get it?

[LordShiva]

Please folks. Learn to un-dualise your thinking.

[Ecthy]

Exactly.

Your response was great though. I remember reading that and having a good laugh.

Since there's no solid majority for the destruction of this forum, the wannabe destroyers will have to admit defeat.

this isn't wikipedia. This pretty much means the site owners can pretty much do what they want without worrying about the decision upsetting a decisive majority of users one way or another.

In any event the decision wasn't about "destroying the forum" but merging it back in where it belonged in OT.
