Why I would like to get rid of the LoL forum

[MrWookie]

I'd be in favor of allowing link threads in OOT, at least on a trial basis. I think for the most part, link threads tend to self-moderate, in that the dumb ones tend to just sink, and the better ones get comments. If the dumb ones get dozens of comments along the lines of "this link is retarted," then it can be locked for being a bad thread. At the very least, NT et al. could change the opinion of link threads to be like poll threads are now: not verboten, but looked at more harshly if they suck.

I like LoL because you can post without feeling like you're in a [censored] concentration camp where one wrong word will get you banned or the like.

I read both OOT and LoL (as well as EDF, occasionally the lounge), and I think having them separate is just fine.

This complaint seems to be more about what you think is a poor modding decision on NT's behalf than the fact that LoL is taking valuable threads away from OOT. The whole reason the forum was created in the first place was because people were complaining about content-less threads with links to videos of fat guys tripping and falling, etc. constantly being posted in OOT. That same problem and the associated complaints would return if LoL were eliminated.

I just want to reiterate that in the course of that forum's life it's held steady at TWO POSTS PER HOUR. TWO. And each thread averages ~9 posts each, so we're not talking about a staggering number of OP's here.

"People complaining" sounds familiar. But who is "people", and why should a couple of whiners get their way when the numbers I've cited seem to suggest getting rid of the forum? The threads end up back in OOT, more discussion ensues, a better forum results.

Semi-joke here, but the fact that you're the mod of that forum should be taken into consideration re: your ability to be objective.

2 posts per hour, but how many VIEWS per hour? I go there every day, and I read every post. I have only posted there 3 or 4 times.

LOL is a fun place for me. I do not usually read OOT, there is too much volume there for me.

Word. OOT Free for months but I enjoy LoL.

I read LoL regularly but rarely post there and I would be upset if it got removed...

That means that the forum is serving its purpose perfectly. Do you see why?

Borodog,

No, I do not see why.
