Should there actually be a "KMC Toilet"?

i know the otf is referred to as just that, but i think that there should be a seperate "KMC Toilet" where the completely useless threads go. i mean, what keeps me away from the OTF is the massive amounts of pure crap threads with no point whatsoever. so when you post an off topic thread, it zooms to page 6 at light speed. so i propose a seperate forum for people to post brain farts till their hearts' content.

what do you all think?

That is the purpose of the OTF already, though. It's where all the pointless junk goes.

but my point is that many threads at the otf do have a point, however off topic to the rest of the forum. they just seem swept aside by purely pointless threads. "check out this funny video" vs "dur dur poopy lolz"

I agree with Schecter there's a difference between off-topic and pointless stuff.Some people make threads in the OTF that are quickly buried due to stuff that has no purpose and has no potential to be a long lasting thread.The only issue is getting people to post in it.

The OTF is, for lack of a better word, KMC's toilet. How does one discern what threads are "useless" from the "useful" in a forum that is dedicated to non-topical threads?

You can't. You might as well call the OTF the "Ol' Toilet Forum", seeing as how that's what it is.

But the threads of the OTF are, in fact, off topic, seeing as how they have no real relevance. Threads like "Rate the Sig", "What are you wearing", and "Last time you had sex" are just as off topic as threads like "Sex Party", "Cover Me, I'm going in" and "I just farted", not to mention all of the social threads by various members, most of which are devout OTF posters.

I understand that the OTF needs cleaning up, really I do. However if you remove all of the "junk" threads, people will still use those same threads and then they'll make more and more and more. It's like genital warts, you know? You can make 'em go away for a while, but eventually the little b@stards will come back. (Not that I would know personally.......stick out tongue )

completely incorrect generalization.

just for shits, i'll copy and paste the first few thread titles:
---------------------------------------------------------------


1,000,000th post game

Whats the LAST thing you purchased?

Cover me . . . I'm going in!

Swe_Bum!!!

In love with Wild-Cherry!

What Would You Do?

Rate/Evaluate the Profile of the person above you

The New Official "What do you look like" Thread

Ask the Person BELOW You a Personal Question.

What are you DRINKING right now?

Poll: singing

What time is it...

How much do you tip?

What are you eating right now ?

The Sanctuary and friends thread

Random Comments

Quite possibly the most badass thing I have ever seen......

------------------------------------------

clearly most of these threads have a topic. these are unaltered in their cronology. yes, word games and random comments are retarded threads, but regardless their topic are clearly implied. most of these threads have a clear topic.

you seem to confuse 'off-topic' with 'no-topic'. off topic simply means it has no place in any forum subdirectories.

no, the first 3 have a clear topic. just because its silly doesnt make it pointless. there is a topic which theoretically can stick. as for the other 3, i agree they are retarded and should be flushed.

i think you are being to pesimistic on what is "junk"
junk is the lack of a topic. its really simple.

you can respond to "rate the sig" by rating the sig.
respond to "last time i had sex" with the last time you had sex.
and you can brag about what you're wearing in the "what are you wearing" thread.

silly? yes
asinine? yes
pointless? no

Having a "KMC Toilet" would imply that the OTF wasn't one. Therefor I'm against.

I'll agree that a good portion of the OTF's threads are silly, asinine, and even pointless junk. But does that merit reason to create a whole new sub-forum for "garbage threads"? The "no-topic" threads should just stay where they are with the "off-topic" threads. For one, the Globals have enough on their plates trying to clean up all of the pointless shit in the OTF. Secondly, if a "garbage/toilet" forum were to be created, I'm betting my last two cents that it would lead to even MORE shit threads, in both the OTF and in said garbage bin forum, what with the emphasis on trying to delete/flush away less and undesireable threads.

If you ask me, I think that the OTF is enough like a toilet and should be left alone.

many forums have an OTF as well as a pointless thread graveyard.
i just think with all the cliquishness and mutually accepted/bashed threads its become a great hypocrisy. if one of us makes a thread with no point, we'll get "lolz" "hahahaha" and if a newbie does it, its "GTFO" etc.

i just think that its a group think issue, especially this notion that "its our kmc toilet and we like it that way" which seems to be prevalent. (and i do not declare myself clean of this hypocrisy either) so, while its a grand ol' time for a few, i feel its a stain on the whole community.

there are so many legitimate topics which are buried by nonesense. in fact, KMC is the only forum i've encountered where "off topic" runs synonymous with spammed pointless brainfarts.

The OTF Clique factor is very much there, I agree. I'm also not trying to say that I dont lurk around there. Heavens, no.

As far as legitimate topics go, shouldn't they be considered GDF worthy? What is the difference, as far as legitimacy goes, in "What are you wearing right now", as opposed to "Father microwaves his baby"?

Of course, I realize differences in threads such as "Is abortion wrong?" and "Rate the sig of the person above you" and, say, "I ate a baby". I just feel that it'd be pointless to create an exact duplicate of something we already have, and needs to be seriously cleaned up.

Very fine post you have there... Very fine.

I agree with it 100%

We did actually used to have a more-OTF-than-the-OTF area. Tried that and failed.

Fact of the matetr is, the OTF was never meant as a place of social interaction- but people chose to use it as such. You try and make another OTF+ area, people will just colonise that as well. It just doesn't work.

Nope, it's the dustbin and it stays so- simple and pure.

its just such a contradiction though that the most frequented forums are allowed to go completely to shit while the less frequently visited forums are overmanaged/micromanaged to death.
