What Is General Discussion?

A few quotes from the King of AquaSoft (Timan):

ok then what is on topic discussion in the general discussion forum?

general discussion is the offtopic forum, do you all not see the forum right under it that says "AQUA DISCUSSION"

this is general discussion, not aqua discussion we made this forum for the members to post this crap, you dont like it ignore the darn forum,

well i just dont see why everyone is closing everything in general discussion... i'm kinda shocked my self

contra gets no cookie to night

whoa! wait a second, are you saying this forum is for aqua related stuff, if i remember right this is "General Discussion" thats what this forum is for, stupid crap, there is an aqua discussion forum right under it.

or am i missing something else...

someone locked a thread, no justification given, no pms, no emails...

nothing unusual Timan

General Discussion. It is neither general nor is there discussion. Discuss. is that it?

#100998

I close things in Gen Discussion because:

1. They break the basic rules (no piracy, etc)

2. Flame War (this happens a lot)

3. Extremely redundant topic.

Thats usually it.

Take my cookie will you! :rant:

Oh, and I hate to be a :nerd: , but Jef is the king of Aqua-Soft (Would that make Tim the queen?).

Could you point to the exact thread that was closed? I may be able to give a reason.

Yea mods are supposed to say why they closed it... guess I need to start seeing whos not... :staffs here:

Duckie?

couldn't be.

Oh wow.

This Debate.

Again.

*Yawn*

You kiddies have a brawl and hash it out, then get back to me with a final decision on what the General Discussion forum is for- just like I asked for you to do 2 months ago.

Well, back to real life for me.

Lol i don't see why people who come here can't have an area for discussion on topics that interest them outside the Aqua field? I mean it is called "General" discussion, when all the other forums have to do with Aqua or skinning etc.. People going around and closing completely adequate threads for no reason (like the k-ray vision thread, which had a lot of interest) just stikes me as a little silly...

My 2 pennies worth

Cheers,

While we're on the subject, why was the Headphones / Speakers thread closed right after someone asked a question?

Goosey? >.<

Is there no way you can keep tabs on the certain person who is doing these things? I mean.. thats 2 active and reasonable topics in one day that he closed for no reason... The X-ray chick one with a nice sarcastic "Can she penetrate Aqua?" comment. Real classy, lol.

Every other forum I've ever read, someone who did stuff like that would have their mod status removed.

:rant:

Obviously I'm not telling you that's what should happen, but c'mon - having someone with that sort of power editting and closing stuff for no reason.... is that really trying to uphold the views and status of the community, which is what mods are really there for?

mod status

That's the point - he's not a mod, he's an Admin.

In other words, he can do pretty much what the hell he wants, and if we've got a problem with it, we can't do anything about it but leave.

Well I know I'm not going to register with another forum to ask people on here stuff that should come under GD.

from the top of the GD page : Post ANYTHING but aqua emulation related posts!

But apparently a thread about Halo is wrong?!?

:confused:
