Raz
Answer da question.

Gundark
I vote for closing them after 100.

Pinky
Yup me too!

Dexx
i voted no...sory.....but there are threads that realy don't need reopening for nothing

Gundark
Errr....we're not talking about re-opening them Dexx...

Dexx
yeah, i know...but i heard something earlier about closing an active thread after it's reached 100 and opening a new one to continue the discussion.
And why would you close an active thread?

mah
because it's off-topic! queeqs establishments are for free chatting

Gundark
Well the thing is, when you have new members coming on, they have to read 14 pages of a thread to get through it and by the time they get to make a post, its off topic.

Pinky
Well the poll is pretty close till now...

Dexx
i dunno....will you close the word game, Ep. III countdown thread, others too.
i hope not the role playing ones

mechmoggy
Oops, I think I voted "no" when I was thinking "yes".

Oh dear. embarrasment

Pinky
Well now the votes are equal!
who will vote decisively?

LanceWindu
Me.

I say close them once they reach 100, but only if they are off-topic.

Which they usually are.

But if they get off-topic really early then they should be closed immediately.

Raz
lol, yep VERY close at the moment.

If the 'YES' prevail, then all topics reaching the 100 mark will close...unless of course they're on topic (hah!)

Ushgarak
Dexx- it is only off-topic threads that get closed, and in general this is a GDF rule. There will be no threat to any of the threads you list!

Gundy is right, the threads are far too confusing now.

Pinky
Will somebody please vote and stop this suspense!!!! sick

Dexx
aha, i see, ush

Ushgarak
Also remember that the mods have full discretion with closing threads; it's never an absolute rule. If a thread is worth keeping open regardless then it will be.

Gundark
Mech, you idiot. Do you want to change your vote ?

Pinky
laughing laughing laughing rolling on floor laughing
Well now everybody makes mistakes... wink

Dexx
*whispers* Mech!, say no, say no

Pinky
*whispers*Mech the Force will guide you... wink

mechmoggy
I don't know Gundy, maybe I should have kept it secret in the first place. confused

If I vote twice for yes will that cancel out my mistake?

Dexx
only if you vote twice no afterwards

Gundark
You can't vote again. A mod will have to change your vote for you.

Pinky
That if you don't upset them...

Dexx
pinky, your saber, it's.............................................pink

mechmoggy
And so very long. big grin

Pinky
Pink, long, working and i know how to use it...what more could a guy ask? wink

Dexx
hohohohooohohooo..... laughing out loud laughing laughing out loud laughing ....is it realy thaaaaat pink and long. And do you reaaaaaaly know how to use it?

Pinky
Meet me in...Mortal Kombat.... evil face

Dexx
*stops laughing*
he doesn't get it

Pinky
Well i didn't hope u'd understand u spiked headed guy!

Dexx
not anymore......the avatars don't always represent the real person

Pinky
U said it ElemeTal...

Dexx
u see where discussions end when talking to pinks?

Pinky
No!Where?

Dexx
you said it...nowhere

Pinky
Anyhow it appears threads will be closed after 100!

Dexx
ooh...back on topic already, kewl

Pinky
Well we wouldn't want to delete the thread where we actually vote if they should delete it or not...

Dexx
well, why not...after the vore's over......i presume it''l be off with his head

Pinky
I think u were wrong here...look at the poll now...

Sabrea
y should they close them when they get to 100????? mad lot of them r still active, and they seem to get to 100 really fast...

Gundark
Once a thread is closed you can still read the thread. It won't disappear. And you can always start a new thread on the same topic.

Sabrea
i kno this...but wats the point of having to start a thread over again every time it reaches 100...

Dexx
it seems that "No" is dominant at the moment. evil face

Pinky
Well this way the moderators will have more to do!

Corran
If they are way off topic and over 100 posts then they should be closed. If someone wants to re-open a topic then that will probably start back on topic.
If they have drifted to another topic and you wish to continue on that topic then quite simply open a new thread for that topic.

Sabrea
yea, but if theyre active then u should leave them open, even if they r off topic...

Corran
No, if they are off topic and it's a topic you want to discuss, just open a new thread for that Topic. I think it's OK for them to deviate for a while, but once they hit 100 then why not just close them?

mah
correct

Sabrea
because if people r replying to it constantly then its obviously a topic that they WANT to talk about, even if the topic has changed...

Gundark
But its a lot of reading for a completely new poster to catch up on.

Corran
Then open a thread for that topic, if I saw a thread title that I wouldn't like, I wouldn't read or participate, if that thread then changed subject to something I had an interest in then I wouldn't know, if someone opened a thread for the new subject then I could partake in the thread.

Sabrea
they dont HAVE to read it, they can read newer ones that have less in them and the people posting in the old ones that have a lot can continue posting in that one...

Dexx
i think that if people interested in talking about something off topic in a thread they won't be interested anymore in talking about it in a special topic for it...

Corran
That'll be those with a short attention span and the idiots.

Ushgarak
Has the poll been adjusted for Mech's mis-vote yet?

Dexx
no!, and we're getting away with it too, mwahahahaaha evil face

Gundark
I just fixed it for Mech.

Ushgarak
Ta.

Gundark
15 votes. Thats probably about everybody.

Thomas H
do not close them...thats my opinion!let us speak our daily bullshit!hehe

Gundark
So you're saying you don't mind catching up on 3-5 pages of crapola in a stack of threads after you've missed being here a day or two ?

Or are you one of those who DON'T READ BACK ??????

http://www.forum-smilies.com/brutal_33.gif

Thomas H
hhehe, I dont read back...only on the word game, i like to read every page..(ironi)hehe

Dexx
hohohoh...that's the only one i don't read

Corran
Gundy, I like that Smilie especially the yellow Rubber gloves, oh wait it's all yellow.

Pinky
U should have put it pink!That way everybody would of liked it!

Sabrea

Pinky

Sabrea

Pinky

Thomas H

Sabrea

Thomas H

Sabrea

Pinky
I'm a boy...duh?!

Dexx

Sabrea

Thomas H

And Sabrea, are you pissed at me now? cool

Dexx
i intrerrupt for just a sec to get a little back ontopic....anyone voting......we're tight here

Thomas H
lets hope they dont close after 100!

Sabrea
no..im always like this, especially when i dont get a lot of sleep...

Corran
You should really stop stalking hayden and get yourself some shut-eye

Sabrea
i am NOT stalking hayden! the reason im u all night is the forum..

Pinky
I don't get it!!!What if i like pink!Pink is a color too!!Just like blue,yellow etc!Plus like i said i like green too...green it's the color of geniuses wink

Sabrea
i already told u, u cant have green, blue, or purple

Corran
go on then...why can't he have blue, green or purple?

Sabrea
because

Corran
you seem to have pressed 'submit reply' before completing your answer.

Pinky
...she's a spoiled child!!!

Sabrea
no, my answer is 'because' he cant have them because i said so, green is basically my trademark colour, almost evrything i get is green, and pruple and blue are back-up

Corran
I'm sorry, but I feel that you should not be allowed to monopolise those 3 colours just because you said so. I will no longer participate in this fruitless discussion.

Pinky
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!K i guess i'll leave too
*goes to change his name into Greeny*

Sabrea
very funny...but its still my trademark colour

Dexx
So what?....do you have copy right for green. purple or blue. As u notice, my saber os green. Pinky, how about a campaign to Bluey, purpley, and greeny nicks

Pinky
You said it dude!Are u ready?

Dexx
well...ergh...no.....i was just kiddin. I like Dexx too much

Pinky
Chicken... roll eyes (sarcastic)

Gundark
Pinky's name is fine by me. I don't find it girlish at all. And his avatar is EXTREMELY pleasing to the female eye.

As far as Sabrea having a monopoly on colors, thats not allowed here unless you've paid Raz in cash under the table first.

Pinky
Thank u Gundy.It's good to know somebody here understands me. wink

Gundark
Ah, they're just a bunch of bullies.

Nothing that a few hours in the ToMacco Smacking Machine can't handle.

evil face

Captain REX
I voted 'Yes'.

Corran
OK, so if this one goes off topic now it should be closed.

Gundark
Well Raz does make the final decision.....

Dexx
Raz...vote No...vote No evil face

Gundark
Raz is impervious to mind control. We tried that a long time ago.

evil face

Captain REX
laughing

Does that mean he's some ugly creature like a Hutt or Toydarian?

Gundark
We've never seen Raz.

Gods never show their faces. evil face

Dexx
well..he did say he'll post his pic

Gundark
I'll believe it when I see it. laughing out loud

Dexx
he wouldn't lie...

Orpheus
I voted to close off-topic thread after 100 posts. Although I have a broadband connection I don't check the forum that often and I hate getting to the end of a thread and finding that it is way off-topic.

Pinky
Well it appears this thread is going to be closed... big grin

Corran
It is still sort of on topic and the rule is that they are closed after 100 if no longer on topic, I think it is anyhow.

Dexx
we're loosing here....c'mon, somebody, help us.......

Sabrea
some1 go register under another name and vote no j/k...

Dexx
You, know....u're a source of inspiration, you...hehehe evil face ..

Sabrea
i was kidding

Gundark
We already had one sock epidemic here with queeq.

Don't you guys see Orpheus' point ? And I know Orpheus - he's a good guy.

Try staying away for just 2 days and come back. And see how many pages have added up on some of these threads. Now I know its difficult to stay away for that long from this place of normality and common sense, but just try. wink

Corran
OK.

Sabrea
actually, i was going away for a day or 2 to get away for a while...so byebye.....

Dexx
she'll be back in ten mins....max!

Sabrea
dexx thats cheating...u already knew i was back and how long i ws gone for...

Dexx
eeergh...the force told me...

Sabrea
no it didnt, the other threads told u...

Dexx
not... evil face

Raz
OK, the public has spoken.

From now on (in the GDF at least) all threads will be closed when they reach 100 and are off topic.

If they are on-topic they will remain open.

Certain thread may remain open at the mods discretion, such as the bar and the game threads.
