I think that a new Forum should be added. The Serious Discussion forum. Obviously "Stuff" would be of use for that, but there is also a lot of "Unserious" stuff in there. Since we are finnaly starting to have some interesting conversations, a "Serious Discussion" forum would be a great answer.

We obviously have discussed this before, but I feel its time to post about it.

Do you honestly believe it would work?

I don't.

It's a good idea but I really don't think it would become so serious. It will probably just become "Stuff-2"..

I think it would be good, because then All the Conspiracy/Religious/Political could go there! :P

No offense Jahzel :P

I don't think that Religious/Political/offensive discussions should take place at all!
Most forums don't allow them, and we only tolerate them because you guy's don't seem to have anything else to talk about :-)

BL, I think your idea is a good one, however your opinion of 'serious' might be completely different to someone elses... so who will decide what is serious and what isn't?

Hey, it was my idea :P.

I reckon it just might be a good idea, since people do actually enjoy arguing about important stuff. That way, people who don't can avoid it easily.

People This Website Is for Half-Life! Not Political Discussions.
The stuff forum already gets enough of that.

hey, you are right! This Website is Half-Life
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-12 11:32:04 UTC Post #103487
Still, a nice discussion is always nice. And lets be honest, how many of the threads in stuff are about Half-Life?

I'll support it.

Notes Brattylord's account and keeps a sharp eye out for this secret account.

I don't see much point, it will need a lot of threads to fill it up :)

Is that what TWHL really stands for? :o

TWHL - The whole Half-Life :)

I dont think we can have any serious discussions until we kill IEMC :badass:
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-12 16:41:57 UTC Post #103563
A new forum would be stupid. We have a stuff forum and it works fine, I don't see why you need another one it's not like there are new topics that fill up the screen.
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-12 20:30:12 UTC Post #103590
you called a Moderator's idea stupid! :o :o :o

Well, I just thought that since TWHL had so much discussion going that a new forum would be nessisary. A site doesn't have to be only 1 thing. Variety in a site is great. Its likes selling art with furniture, two very different things (Unless the furniture is art...)

Zounds! A fake BrattyLord!
Maybe BrattyLord is actually Gman's_agent in discius! MUHAHA
His sekret account is habboi!
Then why would I disagree with my post?

"I don't see much point, it will need a lot of threads to fill it up"

Besides, I just use Gmans_agent (or did) when I need to ask an embarrasingly easy question. ;)
You still haven't found my OTHER fake accounts, although the moderators have access to it now by IP.

Hey hey... Why not???
To create a new forum is a good ideia because the "stuff" forum have a lot of "jokes and wondering"...
And a new forum can discute some questions like "My half-life crash when I start a new game..." and "Somebody has a link to a models page???"...
This question above don't have any relation to HL1 mapping, and can't to be there... Right???

And, Questions like this "Serious Discussion" can to be in the new forum...

I think this new forum a great ideia... ;)

Dude, Bratty, why the paranoia? I've asked stupid questions ? I've only ever had one profile.

Why would you need 2 accounts. That's stupid
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-13 07:03:33 UTC Post #103654
Yea it might be a good idea, but think of how many topics are started. The stuff forum isn't overflowing enough to split it up yet. Plus what is the stuff forum here for anyway? For stuff that doesn't relate to HL, so let's keep it that way, no need to have 2 stuff forums.
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-13 15:37:53 UTC Post #103771
It's Seventh's choice, since it was his idea he might as well do it because after all he is the Mod...

T'was just an idea. I was gunna talk to Andy about it anyway, and he doesn't seem wowed. I'd be inclined to just let atom be for a bit, since he's been doin' stuff recently :).

I guess I screwed it up by posting it. If you asked him about it, people would have been more inclined to listen. This is exactly why I had another account. People don't really listen to BrattyLord, since I was known for some really stupid posts in the past, plus I used to spam... a lot...

Gmans_agent was just my second account. A second account could always come in handy, plus, people always would answer Gmans_agent's questions, but when BrattyLord asked them, I got nothing but "ohh, Bratty's got a question".

It helped, but for now on, I'll just ask questions with good ol' BrattyLord :D
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-17 15:21:08 UTC Post #104506
What? No, I've only had this one :confused:.

People'd answer you just as readily.

So it shouldn't be allowed to inform people about the real issues that effect all of our lives, even as mappers?

Ha, I don't think so.
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-18 19:35:33 UTC Post #104714
Actually by creating another forum called Serious Discussion, that somehow suggests that stuff is a good place to be 'wacky' in. Conversely, if you created a section called 'spamdump' stuff would get serious. But I kind of agree with Andy on it, for too long people like myself have been hi-jacking the stuff forum for our debates, which could happen anywhere on the web but have nothing to do with mapping.
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-23 09:03:52 UTC Post #105451
Debate about mapping?

heh... yeah, but thats what the Grappling Hook is for.

DEAR GOD NO!!!

Hmmm... maybe we could make a disscusion forum separate from TWHL.

I'm sure people would find it interesting...

There would be loads of spam... but I like hitting the delete key ;)

anyone? anyone?

COUGH http:///www.anarchy-rules.com/forums/ COUGH
....smokers cough... Other than banter and site comments, the forums will be sections on the phpnuke (for now....) site for people to submit proper rants, and for others to rant on. No articles.
And Actually TWHL inspired the creation of the new ARDC, I was thinking just handbooks before I saw the insane flame wars here...

Haven't thrown it into googles engines yet, not site proper is there, but feel free to christian the forums people. (its not some .cjb.net that sputters out, its a full time site in motion). (ok TWHL was .cjb.net for a while...sorry...)

Angst yes, from both sides (need more on the right actually, to balance it out), but no BLIND HATE. We delete quicker than you login and post. Do well to remember that.

I kept deleting it because I'd read it and it wasn't really anything to do with the thread :P.

Mephs, I couldn't get onto the site earlier.

What about an 'Evil Stuff' Category.

A Place where we can spout evil thoughts, feelings, The Dark Side, etc. Also, In Evil, you'd be aloud to spout obscenities and otherwise rave like a lunatic.

What do you think?
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-28 16:24:27 UTC Post #106298
No...

Just no...
