Some new stickied threads?

by **-BHZMAFIA-** on Tue Oct 17, 2006 6:49 am

I would say add in the two new threads, and take out the "Announce Your Birthday Here" and "Name Change Thread". As far as the birthday thread goes, there are only so many birthdays you can put because its not like someones birthday will actually change. And as said before, the Name Change Thread is just mostly spam.

I'm sure at some point the

The Info/About You/Get To Know You Thread (745)
NLSC Basketball Profiles (544 replies)

were popular and useful, but there's a point when we no longer want to know about you, and that point is now (meaning we already know about everyone). I say drop these two.

As for the others, I think that although they are seldom used, they still serve a purpose and there's no reason that they can't stay stickied. It's not as though we have 15+ stickies and you have to scroll down to find them, there's only 7 of them.

I'd say sticky the Movies thread out of convenience, but unless there's a whole bunch of people who argue for the Rap thread, I don't think it needs to be stickied. Like it's been said, it hardly ever drops off the first page, and it's not hard to pick out.

It's mostly to deal with the official patch and the explosion of posts on the release of NBA Live 07. Now that things are calming down a bit we'll start taking those down.

I suggest eliminating the birthday and profiles thread, and sticky the Movies thread, and a music thread (not limited to just Rap/RnB).

Wow that's a pretty good idea... I could merge the various rock threads to the rap thread and just have one unified music thing.

by **---** on Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:18 pm

Rock and Rap will never be unified :lol:

by **Jugs** on Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:40 pm

Rap----------------------------Rock/music thread.

by **J@3** on Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:53 pm

Alright I think this is enough time, thanks for all of the replies. Based on what people have suggested here, this is what will happen:

:arrow:

The Movies Thread will be stickied, it had slightly more votes for than against.
:arrow:

The Rap/RnB thread will be merged with the two or three rock threads we've had and sticked as a music thread, because I thought that was a great idea.
:arrow:

Letting Off Steam, The Milestone thread, Info thread will stay stickied
:arrow:

Announce Your Birthday, Name Change, Basketball Profile, I'll Be Away threads will all be unstickied
:arrow:

The Letting Off Farts thread will be stickied and re-named, so people know what it's for exactly. The Letting Off Steam thread is massively successful but we have nowhere for people to post things they're happy about.

Thanks again, any feedback or whatever feel free to post it.

Edit: Ignore that last bit, unless someone can actually find the Letting Off Farts thread because I have no idea where it is.

Sounds great Jae (y)

Nicely done.

Here's the The Letting Off Farts Thread http://www.nbaliveforums.com/ftopic13866.php

I don't like the idea of merging the different music threads, but other than that sounds good.

A unified music thread. Just think about the discussions and debates Rap and Rock fans will be having against each other! :headbang:

by **cyanide** on Wed Oct 18, 2006 5:06 am

I'm all for the music thread. Much more diversity and like shadowgrin said, there'll be more debates.

I'm loving the stickies, it makes future discussions more enjoyable.

by **cklitsie** on Wed Oct 18, 2006 9:48 pm

Would it be possible to split the music thread back into the Rock and Rap/RnB Thread? I don't think this was a good idea at all, it's like merging an NFL and NBA thread. When you need to find something older in one of those threads, you now need to browse 70+ pages.

It doesn't even need to be stickied, a thread like the Rap/RnB Thread isn't important for the forum itself and it's almost always stayed on the first page.

-Explicit- that asked for it to be stickied, look what you've done.

by **J@3** on Wed Oct 18, 2006 9:53 pm

Not gonna happen. Besides, I'm sure whatever you're looking for is easier to find elsewhere on the internet... the NLSC isn't exactly a rap resource forum.

by **cklitsie** on Wed Oct 18, 2006 10:48 pm

I thought this whole stickies issue was supposed to make browsing the forum easier?

by **J@3** on Wed Oct 18, 2006 10:58 pm

No, I don't know what gave you that idea. It was about removing some useless threads and putting some more interesting, discussion provoking ones up.

by **cklitsie** on Thu Oct 19, 2006 5:25 am

I figured I'd let you guys decide on this as opposed to me just doing it. At the moment, we have the following threads stickied

That's what you said and what happened was someone posted his idea and you implemented it immediately, no voting or us deciding there..
See I know I'm whining here and I have nothing to say about this forum, I thought I'd just let you know how I think since I don't like the new music thread. :wink:

by **J@3** on Thu Oct 19, 2006 1:56 pm

That's what you said and what happened was someone posted his idea and you implemented it immediately, no voting or us deciding there..

Yeah, well I let someone else decide didn't I? Deal with it and stop being such a bitch, seriously, it's an internet forum ffs.

I gave the wiggers a chance to put forward an argument about the rap thread, absolutely no one posted apart from Tuomas. Now that it is merged + stickied you come crawling out complaining about it.

Edit: In a bad mood, don't fuck with me today :lol:

You're obviously not a fan of Linkin Fart or Lame Bizkit.
Wait, I just proved your point.

You merged them like an hour after you presented the idea and even though two people were against it (for the most part.). But I guess it's too late now. :lame:

by **J@3** on Fri Oct 20, 2006 4:17 pm

Two people were against it AFTER it was done. Besides, you guys all post at other wigger forums, the NLSC isn't your only rap resource.

by **cklitsie** on Fri Oct 20, 2006 7:02 pm

Maybe we just like to discuss rap and rnb with fellow nlsc'ers? Only the emo's are posting in that music thread now, pretty surprising how there has not been a post about rap yet eh?

Which also happened to include Jae.

Hell yeah! :headbang:

I intentinally left RATM out. I don't want the band alongside those 2 wannabees.

Yeah well if you wiggers are too intimidated by emo's you have more issues than any internet message board could solve.

Some new stickied threads?
