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.

But if one is checking these threads on a daily basis, as was the example given, then they are already marked from where they've last read. Unless someone went several days without checking on a particular machine, it wouldn't become an issue. Even then, they'd know exactly where they had last read at from on the machines they were using.|

And if they skipped a couple days all together and don't care about the prior context, would it really matter if they jumped to the last page of the thread and started from there?
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
It is less convenient to have a single thread. And since there is no worthwhile reason not to have multiple threads, why bother changing? Enjoy being bitter and crabby about it if that suits you.

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.|

So, lets just keep the forum to talks about missions, SGs that are looking for members, TFs forming, and powers. Oh wait. Powers would be wrong cause there are specific forums for that. Sgs looking as a single thread... Mission and TF talk is it. I do remember the Community people and Devs saying that they let things slide in the server forums due to it being more of a community area. |
No one has a Birthday topic every damn day.
Every other thread listed is just one thread.
No, Rookery violates the rules quite badly.

Really. You have to click on the rookery thread?
Oh because it shows up so often because people use it like a water cooler?
Oh, because like right now I"m talking with someone it it about their sleeping problems and trying to give ideas on how to help them out. Oh that is MAJOR fluff there.
IF ya don't like it, ignore it.
You want to find something there is a search feature up top. It does seem to work.
You want to close it down to one thread, that is your choice, and on the old boards I would agree.
Then again this from the guy who earlier broke the forum rules by complaining about the way the forums are being modded. Isn't that a no-no also, and yet
you are still able to post. Guess it does work both ways.
Of course it is all immaterial because most people don't listen to what the other people who disagree with them say.
(And yes I said one thread on the old boards, course I didn't see this complaint come up on the old boards)

Someone....spawn another one of these threads, k?

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.
Seriously guyz, quit fighting, this wuz my thred to say hallo and be friendleee.

Not so much that I believe it'll solve forum clogging, but that the overall benefit for a single thread is greater than that of daily threads. If one is intent on staying "up to speed" with the current Rookery posts, they'll never be far behind. If they aren't intent, then the idea of staying in touch falls apart and they could skip to the latest page.|

However, if one is looking for a particular thread that has fallen off of the main page, the fewer threads there are relates directly to how much time they need to spend looking for said thread. A number of story threads being one example here.

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.

At least you guys can have fluffy threads. If we even think about it on Victory, they get deleted.

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.
