If the issue truly boils down to the inconvienience of multiple threads, then Rookery-hate is completely disingenuous, anti-pop, wanna-be-edgy contrarian nonsense.
Haetron, I don't know if you're going for some kind of metaironic parody, but it's looking more like an ear-plugging meltdown.
Great googly moogly I think I'm in love.

I am pretty sure that you guys can soldier on, heroically, as it were, though the prescence of the Rookery offends you. You can do it. We have faith in you! Just one more click on the scrollwheel and you won't have to see the Rookery and the Rookery people can just keep on having fun. Everyone wins!Originally Posted by Flea_Mark_Evil
Ignoring one thread as opposed to ignoring one thread each and every day.
One of these things is not like the other. -

So, fluff that pervades every thread on the forum is preferable to fluff cordoned off in its own thread each day?
There you guys go with that logic talk again... -

Actually, Sorah kept her fluff to already created threads. If it pertained to her, it would be in the "ZOMG What!?" thread. Otherwise, she'd post in context to whatever the thread at hand had derailed into (which was par for the course).
There's quite a bit of difference between that and a thread recreated daily. -

Nope. Hate it. Think its stupid, pointless, spam.
Would I rather it be one topic? Yes.
Do I find it hard to just...not click on the topics? Nope.
Is it worth bothering to moan endlessly about? Not really.
Honestly the whole bandwagoning of 'Hey, people kinda like this Haet guy, if I agree with him I'll be cool too!' irritates me more than the entire Rookery. The reason silent majority's are silent is because until there's a spotlight to leap into no one really cares enough.
Truth. -

No I mean ad hominem. As my arguments are based in logic, ad hominem (read: emotive) points are largely irrelevant. Besides, I have seen the error of my ways :P
You have a lot of venom Yellowjacket. Please stop telling me how I am, why I do things, and what my motivations are. Chill out. We're not going to have an adult debate if you keep slinging mud.
Guess what Xan: you're in neither. -
Quote:You mean less truth? I am sure I am not the only person who remembers the Sorah threads, bub.Originally Posted by Xanatos_NA
I found that very hard to follow. I don't wish to flame you but you're not being very coherant with what you mean. Would you mind trying it again with a little less ad hominem?
What I mean by this is please stop arguing against ME and instead argue against my argument.
It would be easier for me to ignore it if it was only in one thread. :P
I'll spell it out for you: It's not hard to just ignore Rookery as is right now, but if you did that you wouldn't have a high horse to be on. -

I do believe when this was brought up before to the moderators there was a claim that the daily Rookery threads were in fact role-playing threads so were exempt from the forum rules. However, even a non-roleplayer can scan over the daily threads and tell that they are far from RP. Several of the other servers have long-standing threads that are full of fluff and kept to one thread with no issues. I think J-Force on freedom has been around for years.

I believe this is a no-win situation for both sides. One side steadfastly believes that everything Rookery-related should be consolidated into one massive thread, and that will solve the forum clogging problem. The other would like to continue posting daily threads in an effort to stay fresh and keep in touch.
Now, currently I see 3 Rookery threads on the front page of Virtue and 22 non-Rookery threads on the front page. That's about 7.3 regular threads for every 1 Rookery thread. It certainly doesn't seem like that much when put in terms like that, does it?
Oh page 4, I see 4 Rookery threads and 21 non-Rookery threads. That's less than 5.5 regular threads for every one Rookery thread. Again, it doesn't seem like that much, and certainly doesn't seem like you have to scroll through a ton of Rookery threads to get to non-Rookery threads. -
Oh hai...question:
Can I hang out here? -
Quote:Let's all get this straight. It's easy enough to mentally ignore a Rookery thread if that is not your thing, but that is boring because it doesn't give you an excuse to be righteously indignant (read: butthurt) about behavior your yourself (amongst others) have exhibited in the past with other "fluff" threads. You could just, yanno, not read them, change the way your view threads around, etc...but that would be boring because then you'd have nothing to rant about.Originally Posted by Xanatos_NA
So let me get this straight.
The people who use the Rookery have to make daily threads BECAUSE of all the self-inflicted spam? You're telling me that BECAUSE there are so many pancake posts, the residents of the rookery find it hard to read their own threads?
In other words - the rookery is posted daily, and thusly inconveniencing others, to avoid the members of the rookery to sift through their own posts, (which would inconvenience themselves.)
I'm lost for words. Epic Selfish.
Amiright? -
Any interest maybe in Virtue t-shirts?
Just throwing it out there... -

It does mean you can ignore the previous day's thread and only look at the current days thread.

Don't be silly Shecky. Those threads are all either community building & relevant to the members of the server, or are one-off threads that are not created on a daily basis.
The Rookey being a spamfest isn't a problem. The Rookery being a DAILY spamfest is a problem. All that the Virtue Liberation Front (
) is fighting for is to have it all consolidated in one thread.

I really like the unique names we have in CoH, with the caveat I think that there should be purges periodically. If you haven't subscribed in two years, I think your characters should get generic'd so that those names can be freed for other people. I don't think that someone who hasn't been around for a couple years is going to come back and if they do, great, their characters are preserved, but a loyal active subscriber should get dibs on potentially good names.
In short, I feel there are a bunch of names out there on old accounts and trials that should be recycled for the benefit of the active, subscribing community.
As for CO, well, we'll have to see how it goes over there, I guess. My hunch is there could be a lot of confusion with this name policy, but, you never know until tires actually hit pavement and we see how things are after launch. -
Is there a dress like a metalhead catagory for the dudes? :P
