so be it.

but i dont think that we have gotten to that point. things could be going much worse and to pull the trigger prematurely may make things worse.

if you want the analogy (as terrible as it will be), it's like having a chance of disease, pulling the trigger, death not working, and then you lie there with a painful wound in your skull and the lurking threat of a disease.

What? That's a gay analogy.

And does this place even have a head to pop a cap in?!

I'd just like to point out this place isn't nearly that dead. It's not as crazy busy as it used to be, but it is faaaar from dead.

Posted

No.

Your list even backs me up.

The cons outweigh the pros (which aren't even that great to begin with).

Posted

no, i don't think we should do that, and like you said, people are already confused in where to post their threads, and what about all the green day threads in the general chat forum??? will you move them??? that would be a pain in the ass for you wouldn't be Andres???

i think you should leave the forum as it is, come one, it will be gain force once some green day news come out, and i bet this place will be exploding then.

i told you it would be a terrible analogy :dry:

well that's it. whatever andres decides to do, then that's what happens.

we're just here to enforce it.

:huh:

Either you got your words muddled, or there be a serious Napoleon complex developing.

Posted

No, I think that would fuck up...

Until there is something new from the band, there is really nothing to discuss that isn't already actively being discussed, or that have been discussed to death.

So when certain members feel like it's a taboo topic, it's because a lot of us are really tired of discussing the same things over and over again (as should they) or it just clutters up the place with a needless topic about some stupid thing like how he wears green socks or something similarly retarded.

No. Anyone who was around the last time you split them up would probably not think it's a good idea.

Posted

YES.

GDC is the best green day fan-run forum in the world. it makes no sense it doesn't actually have a section dedicated to green day.

Posted

There is a section dedicated to Green Day, though.

Thank you.

and yes there is but not general chat about green day.

What is there currently to discuss about Green Day?

I was around last time and I thought it wasnt give a chance.

I also think the voted is skewed because the people that wanna see it split aren't here to vote. They only show up now when something happens (like they did with pinhead and FHT) because there is no where to talk about things without getting bashed, and frankly they dont wanna deal with that. Neither do I.

What is there currently to discuss about Green Day?

Thats irrelevant.

The point is at this point if people wanna talk about a song, a lyric, a theory, or a rumor, it would be nice to be able to do so without all the people bashing them for making a thread or comment about it.

Most of the people that make rude comments, or dont like the band anymore, would stay out of that section and that would be a blessing.

Not everyone has been here as long though, so not everyone has discussed those topics before. If you're tired of the topic that some other people are enjoying discussing, and you know you've discussed it before, why on Earth would you even go in that thread?

It seems a random thread about some trivial matter is fine, but Green Day threads have to be about something of utmost importance or they get ridiculed. Some people want to talk about Green Day! Maybe they're only now discovering their music, and they've joined the forum to talk about their favourite band with other fans. I never get tired of talking about them, that's why I come here! Why is that such a problem for some people?

i guess the only major plus side would be people who don't exactly like the band who have to see threads about the band all the time.

it would be a separate part of GDC, so it would make things alot easier for them and the newer members who come to talk about Green Day.

That's exactly my argument in all this. I don't honestly know if the split forums would work, because I wasn't really around last time, not enough to really see how it went, but I do agree this is a Green Day forum and it needs somewhere we can talk about them without randoms coming in and saying "so what?" at whatever it is we're talking about.

Nahhh, not enough to sway me.

Theres a section for GD audio, who's to say you can't discuss the songs or lyrics or what not in there?

People will bash, it's simple as that really. What makes you think that having a seperate section altogether will eradicate this problem?

Nah I'm good, thanks.

:wub: That is exactly what I am talking about.

I have never been a member of the idiot club, but I know several people that like the way its organized over there with band general.

If you ever went to the audio and video section its more to discuss getting audio and video, not to chat about the music.

and yes peopel will bash, but as I already said, yes I do think it will minimize the problem, because most of the people that do that are the exact ones that would avoid the green day section all together. When you get to be older, its not that you cant deal with it, its more that you just choose not to.

Which I know has minimized the number of people that come here. I heard that same story over and over again at the FHT shows.

I know this doesn't apply to you Billy, but this point is what I don't get about this place. Why would it bother anyone who has joined a Green Day forum to simply see a thread title about Green Day? So they don't like the band so much anymore, does that mean seeing the words hurts their eyes?

If I see a thread about something I'm not intested in, I don't go in it. Problem solved!

I do the same thing Hermione, but there are some here that just cant seem to help themselves. :unsure:

As moronic as it may be or seem to you guys, it isn't against the rules.

Is this a heirachy?

No it isnt against the "rules" but some of us don't want to be arsed with it.
