All my thanks here goes to
DGFone for coming up with this idea. I am completely for it and I think that regardless of what "negative" responses a few on here have said already, it will benefit this forum in one way or another, regardless if it really works in the end or not. Because after all and in truth, this
is a forum built on TLK and the films. Not a theme.
That said, it's about time that something like this is implemented where it could beneficially encourage activity in the LK areas in a couple of ways (especially in the film sub forums) and not just in the OT ones like "The Den" that always seem to get all the activity/attention here on MLK.
[quote="KingKivuli"]This of course will cause the same people to win over and over, or if you run it like MOTM, run out of 'viable' candidates and then it will either die off, turn into a popularity contest, or worse still, lead people to spam over the TLK sections just to show face and the forums get bogged down again[/quote]
I just don't see how this would apply to what DGF wants to do. On the contrary, if a member (especially a new one) wants to spam in the LK sections, wouldn't they choose to do this in any kind of circumstance?
I just don't feel what you said would turn out to be like this. To be very honest, something like what DGFone wants to do will actually motivate me to legitimately discuss more about TLK, more than anything else.
Maybe I haven't been on MLK long enough to assess what you said, when it was started. Two other forums I've been a member of have had other members spam whenever they wanted to, regardless of events, as far as I can remember. But I won't 100% disregard what you said, especially since you're an admin and you've been here longer than I have.
