The Eternal Thread - So NSG, What's Going On?

[Alyakia]

reffering to the topic as F7, a forum, is inherently false advertising, as this is a topic not a forum. the thread should therefore be renamed "The Eternal Thread - NSG'S T7" as the earliest possible oppourunity. :3

You know who else hated F7? Hitler.

There. Let the records show I was the first to (weakly) Godwin ITT.

who will have the first hitlerpic

[Barringtonia]

I thought F7 was NSGs F7

F7's chat is roleplay though.

I don't even know what that means, to be honest it all seems a little cultish to me and, to be further honest, I imagine the same will occur here. In my humble opinion, just let NSG be a little more chatty itself.

[Meowfoundland]

Well this is nice. Hopefully it will succeed.

[Coffee Cakes]

Would it be Rule 7?

Ohhhh you.

Anyways, I learned that The Eternal Thread has been created. xD

Would it be Rule 7?

Rule 1 is, and I quote:

"Thou shalt have no other Forums before NSG."

*flees before getting burned at the stake*

Let's not because that would be against the rules.

It would be more exciting were it to secede.

That might be better. Our series of de facto chat threads have been changing generalite culture around here.

People's Republic of the Eternal Thread?

Nah because then the mods would have trouble keeping an eye on things and it would be heaven for trolls, spammers, and flamers.

More like Confederate States of the Eternal Thread lol

As I tried to explain elsewhere - it's just too much to moderate, given the speed that chat threads tend to move at. Too many makes too much work which equals just shutting it all down in favor of being able to keep up with the rest of the forums. I'd rather not do that, if this can work. Enough people seem to want it, it just felt right to try and make an effort, and see how it goes.

The powers that be provide the framework, but it's the people who participate that make the community. I kinda like to see wants and needs satisfied when they're reasonable and fit in with the general flow of things - I mean look how much the game and the forums overall have grown over the past near decade for proof of it. And The Man seems, from what I've seen, to like to encourage openness and participation on all sorts of levels, including being open to player input and suggestions. This seemed like a good way to move in that direction.

No, Rule One always has been, and always will be:

Do not act incautiously when confronting little bald wrinkly smiling men!

Thank you, Mod, for what thou hast seen fit to provide in thy modly wisdom. Thy will be done, or at least taken as a rough guideline. Spamen.

[Coffee Cakes]

I do like this idea a lot, hopefully it works.

We just need community policing to handle any undesirable situations. Really, I think that's what was wrong with the other chat threads. If more people observed and follow the rules, it wouldn't have been locked.

Hmmm, this could be a great anti-anarchy argument...

Not really. This is the internet, you know - people can act like complete douchenozzles at will without repercussions.

True. I wish the Ban Hammer is universal.

Ohohohoho, if I could warn people for flaming and trolling in real life...

One of the Desert Bus chat room moderators last year (Kroze) actually had a plushie banhammer somebody made. It was hilarious to watch him bashing the rest of the crew with it on the webcast. Man, I cannot wait to see what LRR does for Desert Bus 5 this year!

More like the first commandment.

I think I'd get into a lot of trouble if there was a RL Banhammer.

The banhammer is not a plushie anymore; it will be made of real metal. *nods*
