A forum in disrepair

[Citizen Bleys]

The Poet's Corner was approved by staff and added today.

What I did at my forums a couple months ago was start from the back (the very last topic we had), and then look at when the last time the person posted was. If they hadn't posted in the last 7 months or so, I deleted their thread. That gets rid of everything that is unfinished for the most part. If you come across finished fics, maybe you should think about Archiving them . . . that would be nice.

This is of course, after all the poetry was moved into the other forum. I am happy that something is finally being done, thanks admins. I'm sure you won't regret this in the future.

[Dr Unne]

The Vonnegut thread here is one of the first of its kind I've seen in awhile.

I was actually wondering where that thread had gone, since I never check the Writer's Corner. If people actually started discussing literature there, I might have to make it one of my frequent stops. Unfortunately, I doubt that a particularly large percentage of EoFF would be willing to use their posting time in such a way. It might get more people in there, and then undoubtedly more people would eventually view the writings that are posted in there.

OOC:	But sadly, I've got nothing more to contribute about Vonnegut, except to say that Kilgore Trout is by far the best name I've ever seen.

EDIT: But, ya know, The Trout already brought this up. I guess I'm being redundant. It's a good plan, though. It should be promoted, somehow.

I've always been frustrated, actually, at how little literature discussion happens in the Writer's Corner. Probably most people don't know that the Writer's Corner can be used to discuss literature, and if they knew, they'd come, so it's something of a catch-22. (Ha! ... ... actually, Catch-22 is on my list of books to read still). I dunno... the forum description of the Writer's Corner even says, "This is also a place for the discussion of literature itself," which makes me kinda wonder how many people really read those things.

At any rate, I'd encourage people to make threads about any authors or literary works that they feel really enthusiastic about. It might help stir up some debate in the Writer's Corner, and really, the fora that have the liveliest debates also seem to be the most active ones. So y'no.

Somebody really has it in for trouts, I'd say. Interestingly, the word was only censored again after my name changed to reflect a Vonnegut character whose last name coincidentally happened to be "Trout." Well, :skull::skull::skull::skull::skull: this! *gets shot by a sniper*

Peace

I'm still unsure as to what I would be doing if I was to be some WC-intensive mod. Please, tell me?

[Spatvark]

Actually, this is something I really should have mentioned. What the others are more looking for isn't really a moderator, it's someone who reads most of the work there and replies to it. The reason a mod has been asked for is so it seems like it's a person of power who's doing it all, a leader of sorts or heh, a champion in our corner...

To be honest, this is what we all used to do but it's caved in really. I'm a staff member on another board so that, coupled with too much Diablo, is chewing up all my time. Bannor has been on holiday for a while and god knows about the rest of them...

Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to read and reply to practically everything and set an example to everyone else there. This post will self-destruct... whenever I work out where the hell our pyrotechnics budget went!

[Loony BoB]

So I read? Bloody hell. You need someone to be MODDED to do that? Wow. Well, I don't see what difference I could possibly make, but I'll give it a shot. Like I said, let me get my own PC & 'net access though. I have limited time on this sheehite netcafe.

Yay for subforums! I'm so glad all those annoying poems are out of the way now. I really do think Writer's Corner need, like, a Writer's Corner Moderator, but I guess that's up to the EoFF staff.

*considers starting to post at WC again*

[Citizen Bleys]

Drat. the smiley worked when I tested it on the censor filter

[Spatvark]

Yeah, I was kinda wondering about that Bleys...

[Calliope]

are you going to shift all the poems into the poets corner?

[Agent Proto]

I already moved poems in the first two pages.
