the thread about nothing...

I love coming across photo-shopping being exposed, whether they're obvious or not

I already said that I was open to closing that thread for a week to see what happens, and that's still something that will likely take place, but that won't happen at your beck and call and it certainly won't happen simply because 2-3 trolls start intentionally violating the rules to 1) troll the "thread about nothing" or 2) make parody/copycat threads. There are maybe 15-20 people who want that thread shut down. There are maybe 25-30 people who want to keep it. That's hardly a quorum.

The actual trial period will likely be scheduled around staff availability, unless I can somehow feel confident that those of you who are so bored as to perceive this as some sort of "civil war" will actually be civil during the trial week and won't deliberately start doing stupid things to make your point. (e.g., "thread about nothing" supporters intentionally starting worthless topics, just as "thread about nothing" opponents spent too much of the day yesterday trolling in "protest.") We'll give it a try when you've all calmed down a little and won't make life miserable for the rest of us. (And, bear in mind, the overwhelming majority of members don't give a damn either way and just want to enjoy the site.) I'm not going to set up a chemistry experiment, leave town for a few days, and tell the rest of the staff, "oh yeah, and be sure to keep an eye on the General forum. About 40 people in there are playing 'war' this week. Have fun!" That's not fair to anyone.

It'll happen when it can be managed so as to minimize the adverse impact of your "game" on the rest of the forum. I do care about your concerns. I've listened to them, I took the time to investigate your claim about forum activity, and I've proposed a trial period to further explore the impact of the "thread about nothing." However, you have to understand that our responsibility in managing this community extends far beyond your personal pet peeves.


looks like the wheels are already in motion to shut us down. well, its been real fellas
