suicidexmakeover Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 good idea, but the general forum still gives me a headache lol
Hermione Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Hooray, this is genius! The only problem I've been having lately is exactly that, keeping up with the Green Day news (as I like to make sure I see every single thing). Having that separate will make it a lot easier, and really those types of threads like album reviews and articles don't have the most interesting discussion anyway because they're mostly just about passing the info onto everyone. So taking them away from Green Day/General Chat shouldn't damage the mood and flow of the place too much if there'll still be plenty of more discussion-worthy Green Day topics there. Yeah really liking the idea.
SOMERTEN Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Cor blimey, people are getting far too uptight about not getting what they wanted. It's not being uptight about not getting what the majority want, it's frustrating there is no common sense to this or logic and still no really good excuse as to why is remains glued together. People are going to be posting band news in three different places now because a few lazy people can't be bothered to go into a general chat forum. The way the forum is I never post general topics anymore because I want the general stuff out of the way asap. Going into chat just keeps it in the front pages. Perhaps the more the general chat is ignored, the quicker it will move out. The only reason it stays on the front page so long is becaure the general chatters post hundreds of messages a week.Can you at least make it clear to people that they should post band news in that section and not general? this way it will get there first. I would also have thought the mods would have to work longer at sorting this out now as honestly, the forum is getting into a real complicated mess. Such a shame as this is the best site apart from this.

Such a shame as this is the best site apart from this.I challenge you to propose a system that would address all the problems we've been having lately. This idea makes plenty of sense. Those who want the General Chat or the Green Day Chat still have it mixed in the General/Green Day Chat forum. And then if you want to check out the latest Green Day album news, go to the Green Day News forum. This way, the groups don't get split up so General stays mixed and the banter remains, but it also gives people who are just here for the Green Day news a place to go chill. It also means that the flood of news threads don't get mixed in with the more perennial topics. If you're only here for Green Day Chat and Green Day News, and you abhor General Chat, it's not going to kill you to look in a subforum for the news, and ignore the General Chat topics.
Rita Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Eh I don't like it. But whatever, I'm not that bothered.
Princess Consuela Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Not as good as splitting GD/General imo but I think you chose the best way to please everyone at least to some extent
IscoredWaddlesgoals Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I was against everything being split, so personally I like this idea. People were obviously passionate about how the forum was laid out (and judging by the looks of it, still are) so I think this is a good compromise. If you want just Green Day chat, there's one subforum, if you want Green Day news, there's another and if you want both and general together, there's another. Surely everyone's a winner ? It doesn't take that much time to look for stuff after all.
chickin'pickin' Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Brilliant. Now I can find Green Day news that actually matters without swimming through tonnes of threads that have the potential of roadkill.Which is why...when I did decide on what I would like to see regarding this situation, I voted no on the split. When there's some good news regarding Green Day (I don't mean a stupid and frankly voyeuristic thread regarding Billie Joe's family holiday) I want to be able to find it with minimal fuss.If the forum is split between General chat and Green Day Chat, I'm still going to be swimming through crap to find the good stuff in GD chat, aren't I? Atleast this way you can talk about any old dross regarding the band, and I can find the stuff that matters.
Lady Liberty Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I'll get used to it. Seems a bit late though, you lot could of thought this up earlier I reckon.
Supermodel*Robot Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Good idea!All the little threads about silly little things were driving me crazy.
Tulve Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Oh good. Now Tulve has a question.;]I heard on the radio this morning that Green Day was going to be on some Sunday show, and they were going to have an "in-depth interview", I didn't pay any attention, I figured I'd look it up on GDA. D: But I cannot find a flippin' thing on the subject.
