problems with the commune

g1u: your forum sux
ShaneTheGreatVT: fix it for me?
ShaneTheGreatVT: thx

stop making bad threads. it seems people want to have their conversations in commune so everyone on ftr can see how funny they can be. most of it is just not funny and ends up being a waste of space.

those threads are dumb.
threads about power hours/computers/ftr sightings/chuck norris/ipods have content, so they are good.

here are examples of worthless threads:

I don't know that there's an answer to this. The commune has always been the FTR dumping grounds. As long as it doesn't seep out into the other forums, I don't know that it's a big deal. Annoying perhaps, but not worth getting distressed over.

Way to call everyone out, Gabe. The Community forum sucks and it's time they heard about it.

About half the threads are worthless and pointless and the rest are just tasteless. As I have said before, I wouldn't mind deleting the commune for a while and seeing how everyone responds. Maybe some FTRers will benefit by actually talking about cards.

EDIT: I challenge everyone who regularly hangs out in the commune to just spend half as much time improving your game as you do trying to be creatively funny with uncreative humor. That's all I'm saying.

Is this serious? And if so, why are you in every single one of the
"worthless" threads? How about - just stay away from the threads you don't like and don't try to arbitrate taste.

dont be mad because i listed on of your threads!

No. I really have no idea if you're serious, since this seems tactless, overbearing, and unnecessary, especially given all the recent drama.

That said, it does seem odd that you posted what most would consider 'worthless' comments by most in all of the threads you mentioned, and what I would definitely call worthless comments in the thread that I started.
But, oh well. For some reason you must think you have the ability to arbitrate taste, and for some reason you must be willing to stir up trouble. I don't know those reasons.

tactless and overbearing????
lol???

i was just putting my opinion of why the community forum is going downhill in simple terms.

you can say i'm trying to arbitrate taste all you want, but starting a thread on 'who is the biggest douche' is fucking retarded.

there, i said it!:)

Community is fine. It's supposed to be a bunch of worthless posts with pointless endeavor. Some people enjoy that. It's like when you get to know someone new, and you never really get comfortable with each other until you're exchanging nonsense with them. That's the community.

It gives us a chance to take friendly jabs at each other without threadjacking.

Why? Really, what's the point of this? Why did you drag me into this?
You're the one who came in a thread that I started saying stupid shit. I didn't like it, but I let it go. Then, a week later, you flame me for it??
You don't like it - don't read it, don't troll it, and definitely don't flame on it later.

Gabe you must've known this thread was going to cause controversy... why post it?
