Meh. I've just gotten lazy about closing threads over time ...

I don't know, I hardly ever see a point to close threads these days unless the thread is just complete spam or whatever.

I just let them fall.

So if the decision is final why hasn't this been closed?

I remember The Alcatraz as just a total rant and raving place in Shadow's Edge. It was actually something that the people would just rant about how bad something just peeved them. There was also a sort of "Sunset Waterfall" there as well...

I believe we had a forum just like this back in the days of MoD, as Rogue brought to my attention. It was called the Alcatraz, or something very similar.




just for the record, I said...

You can't trust the poll, Xeo. You know that some people vote just to screw with other people. Hell, Rogue voted for Bush only to cancel out Zoso's vote for Kerry. I've voted in opposites as well just to throw off the validity of polls.

It's nice to introduce the polling system, but without an implicit discussion on your reasons for voting, you can't base a huge decision as this on just a graphical poll.

Or, is it that you just really want to use "The Alcatraz" for something? How 'bout rename "Game Over" as that? It still fits.

Now thinking more on it, I think we should just leave everything as is, Maybe in the future we can find a better reason to merge a forum or to. lol

I second Zabuza on that one, and also add that merging the two together would make it way too cluttered. So yeah, that is a No from me.

I don't understand how you can merge two different forums. One's a bitch rant forum (Sunset) and the other is a discussion forum (Debate). It wouldn't make sense to merge the two, because we wouldn't be able to tell which threads are debates and which threads are opinionated thingies.

My vote stands at No.

That is a definite no, little bro. 'Least in my opinion. Yeah, there's some similarities. Like they're both odd and goofy forums...but like I think if they were merged, that would make the forum WAY too cluttered. Someone would post a thread one day and the next it would be at the bottom already, ya know? There is a bit of differences with jokes, you know, they tell a bit of a story sometimes, then the punchline, haha...all that stuff, AND there's riddles and such...like the "obvious answers" thread Zabuza has going. Then there's random stuff that doesn't really fit in with the rest, but still popular topics of discussion. So yeah...I would definitely vote no in that department. Sorry. **gives noogies to teh Little brother**

The Alcatraz! I remember that! Ah...the good 'ol days...

Anywho...I honestly don't care either, to tell you the truth. Like Tanis, I can see why they could be kept seperate, and why they could be merged in together.

With a good moderator *cough*, there wouldn't be any arguing in the personal threads or whining in the debate threads, Sajin.

Edit: Lemme correct myself. There wouldn't be excessive whining in the debate threads. Some whining is inevitable.


Well, its just inevatable...I think we should stick with tradition and keep them seperate...

Well, maybe not advice, but it's good to see things from a different perspective.

I still think it's a good idea to merge them, though it may be a bit confusing at first, but I think it'll be easy to differentiate what's what just by the title people put. Half the time people start debating what will help the person who's ranting. o.o Hope that made sense.

I think it's a good idea. I don't think it would be a problem and it would get a lot more activity if they are merged. It also might encourage more philisophical debates..since we don't get anough of those.
