Dazz Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 As you may have noticed, the General boards are full of "I'm leaving the forums forever/few weeks/5 seconds" type of topics and to be honest, there could be important topics posted (ha, yeah right, on here? You're kidding me) which get bumped to page 12 or whatever because of the leaving things plus I'd imagine a lot don't care to be honest if someone's going for the day while those that do can read about it in the provided section.

HiP Cavallo Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I dont think there should be a whole section although I agree that its a problem maybe just a pinned topic for returns and farewells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rated_R_DX Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Let it like it is, a topic or section would cause much confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yeah that's a better idea, pinned topic, I was just thinking of the constant Fan Club topics made before that section was made. Just wanting to keep General Chat as general chat and not a billion "I'm leaving" topics while also keeping the "one click" rule I learned from a couple of official wrestler website forums to keep things simple for people new to the net.

Ewok_3000 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Oh you mean a section sorta like what they have on the GFX forums, saying if you're new or you're leaving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 He's basically suggesting a 'Member Announcement' section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Oh ok. Yeah I know what you're talking about. So you're saying maybe another sub-forum in General Chat, for everyone who has a topic saying "I'm leaving" etc?

Dazz Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Pretty much yeah but not sure if that'd be one section too many or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Brunton Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ive been monitoring it since you posted this and concluded its not that bad really. There are not constant threads about it. We also had a debate about this on the moderator forums and decided for now we would not bring the arrivals/departures board back or make a thread. Thanks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
