| there are too many fangame threads in hme |
| << < (2/2) |
| Zil:
I meant crap as in "stuff." Probably a poor choice (though tbh I think touhoumon is pretty crappy). I'll post a conversation I had with Shimatora from earlier. I assume she doesn't mind me sharing it - http://pastebin.com/cFJqV3iD I'm a luddite so the spacing is mangled but whatever. Should explain my rationale more or less. Personally I've always felt that it didn't make much sense to have fangames in there, but I never really felt it was a problem either. Now that board is a lot less active, and it being literally half fangames is unprecedented as far as I know. Maybe you say to just ignore them, but I think having to do that is itself a kind of problem. I recall when birthday threads used to be put in the cafe, but were moved out to that other board. I'd ask what the motive for that was, and if the situation was not so different from this. Naturally I don't claim to be all-knowing. I'm just saying what I think. |

OK, thanks for the clarification of your word choice. No harm, no foul. Bday threads going to LJ, I think, was done because it just made sense to put All About Me threads on the All About Me board. HME already has two child boards. I don't think a 50/50 split is that bad. In fact, considering official games come out like once, maybe twice a year, half the threads being fan games seems downright conservative to me. However, I'm not a regular HME poster so it might be easier for me to say. Maybe one of the board's mods could start a poll on HME for the community to express their wishes one way or the other. I think a strong mandate for the kind of change you propose, from the people who actually have a stake in the discussion, would go a long way. |

I think that rather than the apparent issue being lots of fangame threads, that this is largely a symptom of the official game discussion slowly conglomerating into megathreads once again. It's a cycle where people slowly start being put off creating new threads since it seems out of place when their content already can fit into one or several of the various positive-negative-fickraken threads that exist. |
