    I haven't read the thread yet, and the final post is hilarious as hell, but really, the title is right. I mean I know it's a necessary evil but I just get the feeling it's made things worse in it's own way.

    Wow. I think I'm starting to hate Fast Eddie.

    ^ You and at least 80% of IJBM apparently.

    I highly doubt that he really only locked the thread because he found it boring...
  • NovaNova
    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    I suspect he locked it because, well, the overwhelming consensus was to keep Troper Tales.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon

    There were other people who wanted to get rid of troper tales, but they flaked out instead of sticking around and actually debating.


     


    Also, Eddie could have just said that he was locking due to general consensus.

    That wouldn't have been as funny.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Yeah. 

    I do have a problem with Eddie trying to be funny when he should be clear. Smartassery won't get you anywhere when you need people to listen to you.

    Because you never know what you might see.


    And there were other people making sensible arguments, e.g. Kris and Tzetze. I'm kinda bugged that dontcallmewave got exactly what he wanted there.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    Wave bugs me in general, but let's not go there.

    Except I just did. :P


    More seriously, yeah, that's the worst part for me. I wish I knew of that thread earlier, so I could post and...I don't know...say something.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon

    I just hollered at that last post with "This is a bad reason to lock a thread"


    I'm going to get banned, aren't I?

    Most likely. That pretty much sounds like a method of requesting it.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon

    Wait, Fighteer just told me a different reason and I told him I got it now.


    So I think I'm okay.

    Ah. Well, then you should be fine.

    I'm inclined to think that this is an example of FE just feeling silly at an inopportune moment.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    He can be as funny (or unfunny) as he wants, but his fun should be accompanied by a reason, or closing remark, or something.

    And yeah, I agree, just because it doesn't seem like there will be a policy change doesn't mean it's not worth discussing it anyway.

    Witty, but not clear and concise.

    Thinking it over, that one-sentence-explanation that Eddie gives on that page is actually kind of funny.
  • ElbeemElbeem
    The thing that bugs me about the whole renewed push to get rid of Troper Tales is that the issue was brought up just a few months ago, and the consensus was with keeping them as a whole while dealing with the problem pages individually. I don't see why the appearance of a couple guys reading Troper Tales (and only selecting the very worst they could find, mind you) in funny voices is a big enough deal to start the whole process over again.

    We can still deal with the problem pages individually. Hell, if you want, go through the list of videos one by one and start a discussion for the removal of each of those pages.

    Many TT pages kept because we were promised that the curators would be reviewed to see if curation was working.

    It was also mentioned that troper tales is home to some on mission related materials.  I sort of agree on this point.  For example someones d&d campaign with character interactions and the lot is housed in tt.  And other various related things in that vein.

    There is a lot of stupid stuff in TT.  Honestly a nice hop skip and jump to another website away from the wiki would be preferable.  Like with fetishes.

    Or he got tired of the repetitive back and forth unproductive bitching which was running in circles by the end.

    Remember the God page? I fixed that.

    I'm pretty sure it's this. That wasn't a discussion anymore, but just random bitching.

    And Myr, you were one of them. You may not have started it, but at least you took the bait and started to mindlessly bitch too. You were no bit better.

    He was the one that started it. He made the thread.

    Solution: Spinoff TT onto some other site.  Like this one.

    Note: No, don't bring TT here.  Make another site.

    Would probably be a good idea. Not that I actually care what happens with TT, but all the bitching about it is annoying.
