I just wanted to remind everyone that before you post something, please look through past threads - you may be duplicating things!

••••

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.For instance, there's really no need to create a new thread just for one video or interview. Just post your link and explanation of what your video/interview/etc is in a previously designated thread, and VIOLA! - the old thread will be shot to the top of the forum for all to read! biggrin


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Also - don't be afraid to make a new topic either! If you want to discuss something like your avatar's cosplay, feel free to make a thread with a broad topic about cosplays. Make sure to include room for discussion, and for others to show off their stuff too. OH SNAP! - A brand new functional thread! biggrin

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Rule of Thumb: If it's not DIRECTLY Bowie related, it goes in the General Discussion sub-forum. (See other sub-forum descriptions for exceptions.)

UPDATE: I will be deleting old threads with topics that should have been posted in the older threads in the first place. Newer threads will remain untouched until they also drop to the bottom of the thread list. These deleted topics will be moved into the threads they should have been posted in, posted with the creator's name.



Remember: Think before you post.

Me no likey. D:

It makes the guild seem so small.. plus wouldn't it be better to spread thiongs out so you know.. you could dicuss important things on one topic.. CDs on another.. songs on another.. his possible tour on another. One sorta's... pointless? /:

There's no reason to bog down the thread list with extra threads, when they can easily go in another. For instance - what would be the point of having two separate threads for cds and songs? You're going to discuss the same thing in both.

Please let me know how having ordered information is pointless. neutral

Wouldn't it be more organized to give every thread a time period then within those time periods of David's Career place a Song, Picture, Movies, News, etc. thread in each of them? Personally I find it quite annoying to cram them all in one thread if I want to, let's say, talk about some news that was posted on page four, but we were already up to page seven and talking currently about other news. I find it harder to keep track of.

Edit: Must everyone bee on my @ss just because I have a freaking opinion? I'm an Aries and I take PRIDE in it. D:

People don't get mad with you because you have an opinion, it's because of the way you present them. While you may want to say "This sucks, and I don't like it", that could hurt some people's feelings. A better way of getting an opinion across is to respect the people around you, by using non-personal statements. "I don't like this idea, and here's why-" would be a much more productive way to get your idea across. (Plus people will be far more willing to respect your thoughts as well.) 3nodding heart

UHM UHM UHM.

I don't like that you keep deleting threads either. People's discussions disappear,
and it makes it harder to find things. It's very confusing and I get lost.

Oooookay. I see what you're trying to do, but I agree with Agent Glitter. It's kind of hard to find past discussions, and makes it really confusing. But I also agree that it's useless to make boards with the same general idea as another.
PostPosted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 8:17 pm


What I think we should do, is just forget about the deleted threads, and continue past discussions on the appropriate threads. If you need to make a new thread, PLEASE make sure it is not a duplicate! Thank you.

But neither of those were produced in a rude-ish manner! I just said, I don't really like this.. and la la la la la. Nothing rude about either of them. Just saying an opinion and feeling as if the entire world's against me. (:
