[quote="Simbaholic"]Okei I can understand not liking chatrooms much because they can get a little chaotic at times.. however if we'd keep Chat Topics, I'd suggest only ONE is allowed, instead of about 10, to keep spam down.[/quote]
If there was only one, we'd have the same problem as with the chatroom IMO.
There would be too many people trying to talk at once, three or four conversations going on at any given point, maybe more, and it would deter people from chatting. We should have at least a few so that people who don't get along can stay in different threads. Personally, I think it's fine how it is; only a handful of them are active, anyway.
[quote="FlipMode"]That's stupid. You joined the site because you are a Lion King fan, yes? so if the OT area went away and TLK became the main focus again, you would stop coming? Wow...
This is the problem; people use the TLK areas at first, and once they make friends from it, they all start pposting in the OT areas. I mean, have you ever wandered why I don't talk to many people here besides the ones I know from ages ago? It's because you guys seem to just post in the OT areas, and those threads are enemy territory to me. Like really, I feel my intelligence being sapped away at some of the threads in there just by reading them.
The TLK parts are supposed to be what really unite us as a community; not just posting random garbage like what nationality you are feeing.
[quote="Moka"]Before we get too riled up about this, I would like to remind everyone that this is a Lion King forum, not an all-purpose forum.[/quote]
True in that quote, he was actually replying to us wanting dbeates and stuff to be possib;e, but if we can't have that because it's not appropriate... I don't see how or even why the Member Dens and random chat threads should be allowed either. Especially when there is already a chatroom and mutliple OT chat areas on the forum.
If anything, I agree with Sh, we only need ONE generic chat thread, and that, with the chatroom should be enough.[/quote]
I never said I would stop coming all together, but I would stop coming with as much frequency. Yes, I am a TLK fan, and yes I post in the TLK boards as well. In fact, I'm doing three on-topic RPs at this very moment. My main point was that the chatroom is confusing, and I don't like to talk there. And, as I said in answer to SH above, a single chat topic would create the same confusion as the chatroom. I want a place where I can talk with only a few people at once, not the whole website.
