So basically Games is more accepting to humor without people getting angry about it? It is truly a great day when you're not afraid to post on Something Awful!

Here's a question, though: How come mods acted so loving tyrannical before ~mid 2013? There was a rule to not use dangling participles in GBS at one point. I mean, come the gently caress on. Did you guys feel like you had to do that for Something Awful's image? I was honestly afraid to post half the time on these boards in fear of a ban or probation, but most posts per day count has gone way up recently. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check the one probation I have. It's for spoiling text from a 15 year old game that isn't plot crucial. I'm just really happy SA is a chill place now, okay!

Maxwell Adams posted:I had an idea. What if we had a subforum dedicated to headlines? I like to know what's happening, but I don't want to dig into the recent pages of all these megathreads to see what people are reacting to. Please God no. I loving hate threads like those because all people do is post a quote from the article and then say "Discuss!" Most of that stuff is super low-content and boring and make people even more angry when someone disagrees with them. It's the whole reason GBS 1.0 sucked. It was just an entire headline forum. I'd rather just have a separate forum where all the megathreads go and call it the "communtity" forum or something and have games for everything else, opening up a lot more thread ideas.

Endorph posted:I would recommend doing everything in our power to be as little like NeoGAF as possible. Eh. It's the members that make that site bad. The organization of the two game forums is simplistic and works. but seriously. gently caress OPs like this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=871568 all it does is turn thread-making into a formulaic three step process 1) Find any stupid article about games 2) Post the link and a random quote from article 3) Add one sentence that encourages no discussion. So let's scrap the idea of making a forum for just headlines because they inspire pretty terrible OPs. Again, GBS was a headline forum. Let's not repeat past mistakes. e; Also waiting months for account activation on Neogaf is obnoxious. teen phone cutie fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Aug 10, 2014 |

OG Necromancer posted:Really, what we need to do is just drill into everyone's skulls Pretty much. This thread is getting ridiculous. Kewpuhsays everything is going pretty well and now everyone wants Games to get another drastic change so we can discuss fuckin video game journalism. You kiddin me?
