I thought general discussion is about THINGS IN GENERAL...which to me is everything you could talk about! But general discussion on PF seems to be general apart from anything you wish to discuss

What the fucking hells going off on here lately? This post along with many others about moving stuff shows people are fucked off with it....its a shame the errors and slow downs werent dealt with as fast

I'm not converted yet either I'm afraid

I liked GD as it was, with the quick answers to anything posted.

However I do see what the aim is with this latest drive to relocate posts to the 'correct' rooms...

I'm stuck on the fence on this one????????????????

jay.


But the other rooms hardly get looked at so if your needing an answer to something relitavely quick then your not going to get it..

Surely a better policy would be to let posts stay for a couple of hours then move them instead of whipping them out right away.

Apart from links to ebay and youtube i have never found topics in GD to be a problem so why all of a sudden this is happening???????????

I think the plan is to get everyone used to posting in the right place so that way your question will be answered just as quickly in the correct room instead of clogging the cunt out of GD?

Bit of a pain in the arsehole but has to be done i guess? then all the new bods who join will automaticly (spl??) post in the correct place?

I only found out the other day we had a pc room i've been here since the begining too

So to sum my post up..... stop moaning Lee you trouble making mofo

look, FFS if people didnt want them there they dont reply and then they just move onto page 2 and noone looks at them and the go away themselves, other than seeing MOVED everywhere.

its so silly. your actually filling this forum up more as threads are now in 2 places other than 1.

like said if people dont want it there they dont reply and it goes into the background anyway. so put it back as it was!

PF is turning into a joke surley the ghost thread is pointless as it still occupys the room that you are trying to free up? Have the COUNTLESS posts telling the mods to leave well alone not told you all somthing?

Look at the RSOC board, its DEAD, as no one wants to use a boring forum, posts are still on the 1st page a week later, the major appeal of PF is that GD is busy and vibrant, this latest "Drive" will kill this place off ..... Listen to your customers, a DJ has to play tunes that please the crowd, not himself
