New Sub-Forums! God kills a kitten everytime you dont use them

[Shpyder]

Ok brethren, admin has finally granted us some long needed sub-forums! These should suffice for 95% of the stuff you guys post. The sheer volume of traffic in the E/T/L forums makes these sub-forums a necessity, so use 'em!!

From now on, any thread that can easily go into any one of those subforums, and is instead carelessly and deliberately posted on the main forum, will be LOCKED as soon as it comes to mod attention. No more moving threads if people are being lazy about it! Josh and I have been constantly moving threads, and many of you guys are repeat offenders. Such threads will only be moved if :

1) they were posted by newbies,
2) or it was a sincere mistake,
3) or the author was sincerely unaware of which sub-forum to use.

All other threads out of place will be locked, and members with deliberate and continuous disregard of the above will be banned .

Temporary use of the main forum will include threads regarding any gatherings, meets, dyno-runs, local hang-outs, etc. We are constantly working on ways to make this forum run better, and look better, so we'll be updating this regularly.

Alrighty then! Any questions, PM me or -Josh-. Grassyass!

Damn, now I need to click more times. I'm too lazy click the mouse so many times.

Awesomeness... I'm liking this already even though I rarely get too visit now.

Maybe it's just me, but the main forum is ugly as hell now. All it is is locked threads and redirects. Why do we even still have it if 95% of threads can be put in sub-forums? Anything that dosn't fit can go in O/T or something.

I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I think the main forum is part of the forum layout, the basic forum skeleton, and you can't really get rid of it. A main forum is like a lobby room, and the sub-forums are like individual rooms. If you don't know which room to go to, you just hang out in the lobby until someone helps you. Fair 'nuff?

I really don't understand your dilemma. Why does the use of sub-forums and this new thing we got going "piss you off", TreeFrog? I dont see the hardship incurred on our fellow DSMers if they have to click a mouse button a few extra times to post correctly.

The three exceptions are already catered for: newbies, mistakes, or not knowing what sub-forum to use. So, youre telling me, you would rather deliberately post on the main forum and have mods move your post to the appropriate forum, than just do things right in the first place? There is a methodology to the madness here. Everyone seemed to be whinning about the lack of sub-forums since as long as I can remember, and now that we finally have dedicated sub-forums, people don't want to use them.

What is your argument?

[TreeFrog]

i'm not arguing your theory. its the results. basicly we have a forum with a ton of moved and locked threads. and ALL those people i bet are like "wtf"

i really don't care, i'm just going else where. where the organization works, and there are no locked threads.
