Split of Off-Subject Discussion and Vidya Games

I am having a very hard time following this discussion. :-|

Capt's right that sometimes it's hard to tell what the difference is between OSD and GTKY without the media related threads. I'd also like to agree that if it's made, it shouldn't be a subforum of OSD, but a separate one of the same level of OSD and GTKY, etc, just cuz this place isn't organized right for nested subforums and it'd look out of place.

You see, this is why Ramrod either needs to learn PHPBB3, or we need to get someone in there who knows PHPBB3

Ju Ju, what do you mean? The subforums look exactly like that. You might have a tough time telling where one image ends and another begins in COLA's picture; it really should be more clear.

Inverse: No it wouldn't look out of place. Problem Children certainly doesn't.

This is a big thing for me. It just wouldn't *fit* anywhere.

Kef tried to get rid of it and was met with overwhelming apathy. Mostly the issue with respect to phpBB3 is that we all know how to use it, just nobody does. We're all working on that.

^ Or maybe some of us actually LIKE that it's a subforum?

Yeah, I think that's it. Also, I'm used to seeing them with subtitles, they look weird without them.

So's this gon' happen?

Lunar Jesty · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 3:46 am

We just have to get ramrod off his lazy butt I guess.

Choc-o-Lardiac Arrest · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 7:48 pm

Ramrod, you did it wrong. You're supposed to go into Forums through the ACP, click into off subject, click into the Off-Subject Discussion forum, and then create a new forum from that page, and BAM! You have a sub forum.

ramrod · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 7:50 pm

I like this way better.

DS_Kid · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 7:50 pm

I'd say that it'd look better as a regular section. Having only one subforum is kinda strange.

The Noid · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 7:52 pm

This makes the forum look too tall I DEMAND A RECOUNT BECAUSE MY OPINION IS OBVIOUSLY THE MOST IMPORTANT :pom:

DS_Kid · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 7:55 pm

Now listen here, sonny: that's the same dern thing they said when Arts and Crafts was added here back in 2005.

I think...

No way man we added it at the bottom so it was all natural and short still, trust me

In b4 Admin bawwing

DS_Kid · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 8:00 pm

Now we can have a noticeable thread for E3, and the Xbox 360, and PC gaming, and the PS3, and individual television shows, and individual "other" video games, and individual movies, and other things...

Lunar Jesty · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 8:04 pm

Noid sez he can't access it. Can anyone else?

Nope, no one can, its set to Admin/Moderator only.

DS_Kid · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 8:04 pm

Nope. I thought you all were moving everything over before letting people see it.

EDIT: Oh crap, I just mistook Getting to Know You for Forum Games. My middle-click instincts need to adapt again.

The Noid · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 8:06 pm

That makes sense.

When will this be a viewable forum?

Ju Ju Master · **Joined:** Wed Jul 06, 2005 1:01 am **Posts:** 6245

Patience, grasshopper.

I don't know why it's not viewable now, but there's no reason for it to be invisible much longer, so, soon.

strongfan · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 10:56 pm

Is there even any reason it's invisible?
Still, I'm just surprised you even did it!
Thanks! Hey! Once this is visible, I request
my "the other video games" topic gets moved to
media.
EDIT: WTF? The topic's gone! So are all the other
media topics! Dangit! Make it visible now!
That, or you move them back to off subject!
GRAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

We wont need it.
Every video game/movie/T.V. show
will get its own section.
I am mocking your post style,
and I apologize.
EDIT: Maybe we should split that topic?

strongfan · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:05 pm

sorry I post like that. I'm used to having a
smaller bounding box like from phpbb2. So
it's hard to approximate where I should press
enter.

That's okay. If you just keep typing, it will edit itself to fit the post box. Unless you don't use the space bar, THEN it will stretch.

EDIT!:

BETTER EDIT!:

You... don't press enter. Text automatically wraps when you get to the end of the line...

EDIT: Eh, simulpost.

Positron · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:10 pm

I'm surprised nobody put this on the HRWFW yet.

Gosh you guys.

DS_Kid · **Posted:** Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:25 pm

I do not know of anybody that goes there still.

This is seriously taking too long, and I have to go soon. Right when it's up, can somebody PM me the time it came up (with your timezone) and full-screen PNG screenshots of the current topics in the thread (using something like the FireShot add-on for Firefox)? I'm trying to see what the original threads in the place were, so I can add it in my future Disktionary update.

Until then, time to install some codecs...
