Agree or disagree. Are you sick of this, too?
It takes a lot for Nishin to be saddened by something, especially when strangers create that sadness. Well, what should make Nishin sad? I find it depressing that no one can read anymore. Well, at least the noobs. Someone actually wrote this: “It dosen't matter were in the the wrighters forum so it dosen't matter.” That’s word for word, misspelling for misspelling, grammatical error for grammatical error. IT DOES MATTER. As of late, I have seen a BUTT-LOAD OF PEOPLE NOT USING SUBFORUMS.
This poem (and the conversation it inspired) made me do some thinking. Yes, this may be construed as a rant. Yes, this will most likely get moved and will most likely prompt many to ask, “Why are you even posting this if you know?”
There are things at the top of the Writers Forum page, and we call them subforums. Not ONLY do they have self-explanatory names, but they even come with a brief description as to what goes there. Unfortunately, the “Post Reply” button comes before the list of subforums. Even so, you still have to see the subforums while you’re looking at the “Post Reply”.
Okay, there are the “I’m new to the writer’s forum” excuses. Uh, as stated above, all of the subforums are self-explanatory. You should be able to exhibit some level of reading skills and figure out where your posts go. (For those who can’t, we thank [insert your god of choice here] for the red “Report this Thread” option at the bottom of the thread.) “But why is it so important?” some would ask.
WELLY-WELLY-WELLY! Most likely, people more experienced in the fields devoted to the subforums will give you much better critiques and advice. Example: A novelist gives advice on a poem when that novelist can’t write poetry. It makes MUCH MORE SENSE for a more experience poet to give advice than the novelist. MOST LIKELY, the poet will frequent the poetry subforum.
Besides, it wastes space for the intelligent (or sometimes the not-so-intelligent) writing discussions. Wasting space for ingnorance... TSK, TSK, TSK.
Thus, I pose one of three possible solutions:
1) “Maybe if they wrote another subforum box under it in txt talk, more will understand. Gaia, patten my idea and give me money.”
2) “Maybe we should have it be in big bold red letters... Maybe that would stand out but hopefully we got this sorted out.”
3) ”Put the “Post Reply” underneath the subforum box.”
Options 1 and 3 are my ideas, so send the money to [Nishin. Option 2 is Aliyssa’s idea, so send the money to her. (I apologize if I spelt your name wrong.)
Long story short, READ THE DAMN SUBFORUMS BEFORE POSTING.
That being said, I demand to see a Harry Potter fanfic that involves Harry cheating on Ginny to rape Hermione. Either that, or I demand a fanfic of Christopher Paolini writing Eragon and replacing the dragons with cute little puppies that can eat your soul.
