Polls moved.

[The Ozzman]

It makes sense though, because people can just go to those top 10 albums or whatever, rather than combing through the discography of a particular band.

I don't know, I'm tired and it's Monday.

I think Cairath's right. The polls are kinda useless - just result in arguments that amount to "Black Metal is better than Welcome To Hell"

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I can't really close them though despite 'em being "stupid" (I agree). They are within the rules to be fair, and people would have bitched and moaned if I had taken action against them.

 

[waif]

Yeah, I guess so.
Maybe we should move to an instant death policy in which any thread that fails to generate intelligent discussion or good laughs (depending on the purpose of said thread) in the first page will be closed...

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Too many problems there...

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I'm pretty sure SpreadingTheLiving is the only reason there was such a giant shitstorm of polls in the first place (after all, he created most of them). It probably would've been best solved by a warning to him from Deron, but now that they're out of the main GMD, he's probably going to stop posting them anyway.

 

[MetalAges]

Generally I would have warned against that many...howeverrrrr....too many people actually replied and used them.

 

[panzerfaust666]

well I replied mainly because there was alot of traffic and whatnot in the metal forum, so i was stoked

 

[cookiecutter]

Good post MetalAges. Just because this is the internet doesn't mean we have to be subjected to blatant stupidity and humor only a child would like.

 

[panzerfaust666]

well this place is for metal discussion, you would think thats what should happen here.

The Social Forum has been the root of the problem. But its benefits warrant its existence, despite its misgivings.

 

[waif]

just don't expect much intelligent discussion in the social forum is all

 

[Vitor]

Gotta cut back on pointless insults. I vow never to make fun of ChildrenGrinder's grammar again (unless it's really, really funny).

Your opinion is pretty ass-backwards. There's far more intelligent conversation going on in the social forum than there is here.

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, but that forum is seen as secondary since this is a metal forum and not a general chat forum.

 

[King Richard]

Ok, but my statement still stands. There's only so many intelligent things you can say/argue when it comes to metal is my point.

The only real enjoyment I get talking about metal is seeing who else likes what albums I do then talking about why they kick ass. I find it interesting sometimes to read differing opinions but usually they just annoy me because the person either a) Never listened to the band or b) They're just trying to be cool by hating on them. Pretty much why I stop posting in here for a while. It got real old, real fast.

 

[Belligerent]

^ All very true.

?
Where? I'm missing out.

 

[King Richard]

I've had plenty of good conversations in the sports thread. The religion thread is always packed with interesting stuff. There's the school/uni thread, news thread, art thread, books/reading thread. And a bunch of others I can't remember that are probably due for a bump.

 

[waif]

Yeah, the religion thread is good, as is the news thread. Don't care about sports.
There's a large area between immature and intelligent, though. You can have a normal discussion that isn't particularly intelligent.
