New Forum Suggestion

[Linus]

Let's make a forum where people can ask for help with school stuff, like formulas, or feedback on essays, and stuff.

Honestly though, you closed it up right when school's starting. =\

[Mr. Graves]

Yeah. :/

[Agent Proto]

Yeah, <strike>sucks to be you</strike>. Just use General Chat for that thing seeing that the forum wasn't really being used at all. =/

Here, use this (www.google.com), it works wonders.

[Agent Proto]

Yeah, that's even better.

[Shlup]

I'd use Help for a question that would require an explaination, like a math concept or something, and General Chat for more immediate and large-scale help, like when I had to interview people of different religions so I just put up generic questions and asked people to fill it out.

[Loony BoB]

Eyes on Each Other is good for surveys, too, I've found. =P Both Logie & I have done that.

[crono_logical]

Like it was actually being used a lot last time school was open :p Yeah, Gen.Chat is ok for most surveys/questions, or EOEO if it's more serious, possibly Lounge depending on it's content, or Help Forum as a last resort :p

[Raistlin]

Or you can just ask yourself, "What kind of loser goes to a Final Fantasy message board for school help?" :D

[Doomgaze]

Us.

The Study Hall forum has always been a mistake. It was created because at the time there was a lot of questions that were school related being asked so the forum was made.

The questions died down and so did the forum. The same thing has happened to the world events forum. There isn't much worth discussing right now so the forums is dead and it was a mistake to create also, I believe.

[Citizen Bleys]

You may have a point there. The call for World Events was pretty short-lived.

[edczxcvbnm]

Of course the world events was short lived. The whole thing came about because of the deal in Iraq. And most of the threads in the forums were around the time leading up to it and it was controversial. After we went in there was not as much worth talking about because what is done is done. Now there isn't much worldwide that everyone can really talk about.

[Mr. Graves]

Not to mention all the flaming that took place in there.

[Agent Proto]

We can always use the World Events as sort of our "Politic and World News Forum" Seeing that some people like to debate about that kind of stuff, and most of the members don't.

[PhoenixAsh]

It's been relegated to sub-forum already. It's not harming anyone by sitting there waiting for something big to happen.
Besides I still don't see how it was flamed any worse than most other forums.

[Agent Proto]

The flaming there usually gets noticed and taken care of quickly anyways. So it shouldn't be a real concern.

[Citizen Bleys]

When I'm cranky and looking to bust some heads, I go into World Events hoping to find someone stepping just a *little* out of line so that I can go postal...

Problem is, everybody's always behaving when I go in.

[Madonna]

If you want, I can go on about how I don't like the Chinese. It wouldn't necessarily be true, but I'd stick my neck out for a friend.

Most people don't want to talk about FFMQ but for those of us who do then were do we go? Sure you can say general FF but I can say the same for the FEW topics on world events that get brought up. Just post it in General Chat or EoEO.

[PhoenixAsh]

Yeah Eds got a point. If you make one forum based around an atrocity of mankind that destroyed lives and the reputations of people worldwide then surely you should make two.

Now now...FFMQ wasn't that bad.

[Shlup]

Get rid of World Events or keep it. Its not like its a big deal.

[Agent Proto]

I say we keep it, because you don't know if there'll be a lot of complaints if "Bush or some Democrat" wins the Presidency next year.

The invasion of Tibet was unacceptable.

Which would probably limited to 1 or 2 threads at the most. How many different topics are need to complain about who won? Unless it is a whole Court decision like last year when the election just wouldn't end.

No one is going to dicuss the primaries or how bush may not be on the ballot in some states because the GOPs national convention falls after a lot of states deadline to put a canidate on the ballot. No one cares about that kind of stuff besides me and maybe like 2 other people.

I say the forum should go(I'm just saying).

It is ultimatly up to you guys. I just feel that forum takes up space that could be deleted. It will be just like before that forum existed where most of those topics dropped like a rock because no one cares about them. Then people will learn to post only news that is either crazy and we can all make fun of or something big.

[Raistlin]

You should make an "Old News" forum, where people can talk about the stuff that <i>would</i> have belonged in those forums that were deleted. So, you'd have a Study Hall-World Events(possible)-Xenogears forum. It'd be awesome.

[eestlinc]

merge them all with the Bruckner forum.
