dst Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 As the name of the topic says: Do we need 5 pages of topics with "hello", "hi", "aloha", whatever? And now the new is trend that even if you are a fossil player (aka old one) but you haven't opened a "hello topic" when you were a noob now's the time! "Hello topics" all the way! Grr...I hate them!!! I remember raising the same issue some months ago and back then the majority decided that yes, we need them. But WHY? Please think and post you opinions(I want reasons not just Yes and No. If you don't provide reasons -and not stupid ones like:"cause I said so" better not post cause I will delete the post! And yes...I am mean today.). My finger itches so bad to press the close and flush down the drain button...you have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I want to apologize if my previous post was some how the trigger for this thread. My post was meant to be fun and entertaining and was a way for me to reintroduce myself to the MD community. When I first came here I met lots of people in this forum and I think that it would be a shame if new members can't introduce themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 It was not you that trigger this topic but an old obsession of mine. I try to stay out of the "Hello topics" part of the forum but from time to time I go there and see all those topics and I just don't see the point of having so many when we can have just 1.

Liberty4life Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 i see if ppl want hello subforum, give it to them, give them this free area for spamming, BUT disable post count for all posts posted in that subforum, and problem solved ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbelievable power Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 The only thing i could forsee being a problem (albiet not much of one) Is that the 1 hello post could get quite large. People would probably get missed. People here are pretty thorough, so maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Bunny Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Lol.. we need them, oh furia, because it's fun to senselessly say hi and feel welcomed and get a bit of attention, like the bunch of greedy pigs we are. duh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firsanthalas Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I reckon that 5 pages of hellos is wrong. We need at least 6 pages. Seriously, 5 isn't an even number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dst Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 New rule: I will close all "hello kitty" topics after 1 month and stuck them in a biig giant "hello dog" topic. Also, if you have more than one of the following and you make a "hello kitty" topic I will delete it: -40 posts -3 months in the game (active days) Open to suggestions.

Harion Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 well, a separate thread for each new user saying hello makes the new person feel welcome when others reply to the topic and would also make new people easier to find compared to one huge thread of hello where the post of the new player introducing him/herself may be buried underneath all the others welcoming them if it bothers your sense of forum tidiness or activates your obsessive compulsiveness your idea of sticking old hello threads into a dump thread is nice what would be nicer is if you could extend your compulsiveness to make a table of contents on the 1st page so each player's thread can be linked on the 1st page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have a thing for tidiness but hey! I am no masochist! I am a bit of a sadist but that's another story. Making a table of contents is a good idea but it would imply huuge amount of work on a subject I do not like. I am a moderator for this forum because I like what I am doing and I like the fact that nobody put pressure on me into doing things I dislike. I know, you were giving just a suggestion and I am just replying to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
