New Chat/Off Topic Forum

[Mark]

Hi guys

After talking with the webmaster of Opeth.com, we've created a subforum here for off-topic (ie, non-Opeth and non-Music) discussion. This isn't to try and censor people, but more to clear the board a little so those Opeth-related topics which new members may come here for aren't buried.

It'd be appreciated if everyone can use the new forum for general chat and community pissing about Don't forget, UM also has a Chat board as well as the illustrious HATE PIT, where spewing angst and venom at all and sundry is welcomed - nay, encouraged!

I hope the new forum is welcomed with not too much gnashing of teeth, and that the Opeth community can continue to grow.

Cheers! \m/

I gnash my teeth ever so slightly.

Also, I was thinking TODAY, earlier, that I hope THIS doesn't happen.

I must be psychic.

I spose I must conform, but whatever beats a poodles noodle.

/shrug.

Sounds like a plan to me - OK.

 

[BillowOfZeal]

That's a good idea, at first I thought it was just going to be an off-topic thread..that would have sucked.

2 forums twice the fun?

doubt it. We shall see.





Time vill tell. time vill tell. - einstein (in C&C Red Alert of course.)

I support this idea, don't know where I'm going to spend most of my time, although anything that leads to more music discussion has to be a benefit...

 

[Wolff]

Awesome.

So how does it work again?

have to say i like the idea. its probably better too as some threads get half a day on the first page and well get forgotten about.

glorious... then it won't take an hour (of time at work) to catch up when my net connection at home is down...

 

[Melancholia]

brilliant idea

 

[Misanthrope]

The idea has grown in me for a while and im much more receptive to this new forum. However i hope this division does not obstruct the standart average posts per day, it would be a shame to loose one of the highlights of the forum: hyperactivity. However this possibility is quite...unlikely to happen.

Dudes, is it just me or does it feel EMPTIER than when all the threads were combined? I've been here all day and it doesn't feel "community-like" anymore.

See, this is what happens when you segregate shit..bah! I miss the one big happy family - music, arguments, off-topic shit, opeth...

 

[Qsilver]

I think I could possibly now read all the threads at least in Opeth forum.
But where do you draw the line between On Topic/Off Topic threads?
Well, that's not a problem for me 'cause I rarely post new threads

I think the change was for better.

Let's hope it works in the long run.

This shows how hard it is for people to adjust to something different - even if it's something as miniscule as this.

Why make any deal at all over something like this - it's just one extra click - plus, now I know where to find all the garbage

 

[Misanthrope]

Drowning in rutines is a human process to avoid confrontation with problems of life, only a very faulty one because it builds unreleased tension until it finds its way out one way or another...really sad...

Just out of curiosity, were any threads moved around (maybe just back until a certain date), i.e. has there been splitting of old threads between the forums?
