Open plea to all CGC Forumites - OT Threads 2 2

[DrWatson]

Why is everyone afraid of the Water Cooler? Most of them are just full of hot air.

[The Brain]

Then you go !!!!!

[DrWatson]

I have been to the Water Cooler and lived to tell about it.

[tth2]

I don't know anyone in the water cooler.

There are so many more comic guys than coin and sports card guys on these boards. If we would just move all of our OT conversations over into the WC, we would completely take over the WC, and then you would know everyone in the WC.

Same.

 

 

really just trying to make a somewhat silly point.

Why don't we just get an OT board here within the CGC portion?

[JohnT]

I think someone suggested an OT section of the comic boards. Sounds good. Maybe call it...Water Cooler. (But put it where we can find it.)

[DrWatson]

About the only two that don't show up on this side are thing and TJ. All you have to do is fight fire with fire.

More importantly, Tim...have you ever seen a ghost?

It's been suggested before, but the Mods said no.

Now I'm glad I told Brent to drive up the price of the OAW 164 on you.

You cost me $50.

This is really just so silly I don't know what to say. I have and do post in the

 

Water Cooler. I really do not have any fear of posting there or here. The main

 

point, if any, was to point out that content and merit will carry any post to stay

 

on the first page. If, for whatever reason people find interest to post to a

 

thread they will. We are best when we decide what stays and what goes,

 

within the limts setup by the host, and guided by ARCH.

Whoever said anyone was afraid of the WC? Wisely steering clear of the crazies does not an afraid person make.

 

I look at the WC more as a room full of people I would rather not hang out with for the most part, let alone ask their opinion on matters that I really only cared to hear my fellow collecting peers opinion of.

 

I signed up to participate on this forum for the comic collecting community that dwells here, but understand a line must be drawn about what OT posts are too far OT to be tolerated. In the end CG is the melting pot of the CGC forum, and as Brain wisely stated. "If people do not want to read it, let alone talk about it.. the OT post will wither and die on the vine", so really what harm is done?

 

Or are the OT posts in CG squelching out the ten's and ten's of important threads that need to be seen?

 

If it were not for the OT posts that help keep a conversation, or rather forum going.. then all we have left is..gulp.. comic talk.

 

God help us.

Sorry Jeff. I blame Brent for not letting me know a boardie was the potential buyer!

Yes. Any comic-related thread, no matter how inane, is more important than some stupid OT thread.

 

If you don't agree with me, I'm happy to make my point by duplicating what POV did a few years ago to get the Mods to start clamping down on the explosion of OT threads in the General Forum.

Well, based upon what I said in my post.. I disagree with you Tim!

 

Go ahead and OT post away my friend, last I checked there was 2-3 threads this past weekend about crickets chirping around here. So you might actually make a thread that sticks in your effort to illustrate why OT posts have no place here.

 

It's all good to me. Because ultimately I can click on it, or not.
