I find this thread funny, simply because I was just talking to Paola about something like this before I saw this thread. Paola controls all the comic forums in general, and this one is busier than all the other ones combined, mainly because this is where most of the new members come before realizing that this is only a small part of a large site full of forums. Everyone starts off new in here (hell, I haven't even been a part of this site for a year), and every new person wants to spread their ideas and start new threads, which is fine. Only problem is, chances are it's already been done once or a handful of times. It's understandable to make the mistake of repeating a thread, we've all done it, but it's also understandable that veteran forum members get tired of seeing the same thread repeated multiple times. It can be annoying, especially for a mod. I'm not trying to insult anyone's mistake here, but it is a pain closing, moving, and merging enough threads to fill a whole page or two. It use to be fine for a while, but as has been said, the number of members and threads have gone up significantly in the last month or so. Before, I spent a couple of hours having to go through new threads and posts ona single page, now, it can take 3-4 hours or more because 3-5 pages of new threads are added, and it's a serious pain. It's a good thing that Paula asked me about modding, because she sure as hell couldn't do this alone, not with about 7 other threads to look over. But anyway, people in here have made some good points. Some new members do make new threads without having a clue about the characters they put in it, and not realizing that it's a mismatch (I don't include Asian Hulk in this, because he's smarter than he leads everyone to believe). One thign that would help would be simply asking some forum members about certain characters, or visiting the other forums and asking, and do that BEFORE creating the thread, as I've stated to certain posters when they asked me about some characters. It would help save some ridicule and forum space. And some just open threads in attempts to be funny (when in fact they're just being ridiculous or just corny), while some open threads in favor of their fanboyism, while some do the opposite and put characters against nearly impossible odds because they believe they're "overrated" or they just hate the character, or people that through in a whole clusterf*ck of characters for hell of it. Normally I wouldn't care about some of these, but it does tend to be a problem when threads like these fill up 3-4 pages. Anyways, as Paula's said, we've been pretty damn busy with or personal lives (especially me), so it's been harder to watch over the forum. But, hopefully soon, we'll be able to bring some order back in here. Until then, we'll do what we can.
