The Current State of KMC: Your Thoughts?

I'm with Ush on this, the SW RPGS are by far the most popular, the biggest, the best (IMO) and ofcourse the base of it all. All those reasons give it more than enough ground not to be a subforum. If the SW RPG should be a subforum than all the following should also be subbed.

Batman, Superman, Spiderman and X-men (to Comic Book Movies)

Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Animations, Anime, Foreign Cinema and Horror movies (to Movie Genres)

Now I don't want to sub all these Fora because a lot of them get enough attention to be on the first page.

No, sorry, that is totally incorrect. There is absolutely no logical reason why a specific campaign setting should be a sub-forum, any more than a specific Movie genre has to be a sub-forum of the Movie Discussion area. That is simply not how this board works. Big enough Movie franchises get their own area. NOT their own sub-forum, and as this board started as a Star Wars board, Star Wars areas in particular get special attention.

And so likewise, the Star Wars RPs get their own area. The SW RP section pre-dates the other RP areas and is the centrepiece of the RP area as a whole, and it has a purpose and popularity that justifies its position. Furthermore, the General RP area was created specifically to handle non-Star Wars RPs and so it could not be less true that the SW area should be a subsidiary of it. This is nothing to do with your childish accusations of bias, it is the way it goes around here.

I have to admit I agree with Ush on this one, Star Wars deserves its own forum if only because of it being the 'kick start' of KMC itself. Add to that the fact that the majority of the KMC population post there and you have more than enough reason to keep it as it is. Ignore logical structure on this one, the SW forum is undeniably a part of this forum that shouldn't be changed.

Note, Ush, I don't think that Wicker was being childish, in fact he stated his arguments more than maturely, but from his point of view the SW forum must seem like a 'special case', y'know? But, I guess that's exactly what it is and as long as everyone is reminded that KMC started out through Star Wars then there should be nothing to discuss 😊

Aaahhhhh well see, i've already stated that i don't know what the history of KMC is, seeing as how i'm rather new round these parts.
Your arguments still hold no water from a logical point of view, but i understand that it's a respect/quality thing, and that it's not gonna change. As for my statement about it not changing due to your bias towards it, that wouldn't have happened if you would've made a post similar to this one instead of just saying:

"No, no 'technically' reason for that at all, given its size and popularity and purpose it fits right into the definition of a front page forum."

But i understand now and all is well 👆

Having watched the 3rd film, I say we just delete anything Star Wars related, and claim we've never heard of said film ever again 😛

But seriously, KMC's all good at the moment... nothing I can be bothered to complain about 😊

yeah I totally agree

I don't see why you would venture into those mentioned threads if the title says it all already 🙄
That's just being stupid.

I wanna say that avoiding OTF was a great idea 😄

Were not talking about venturing into that stupid thread,were talking about how its annoying seeing that thread title in the off topic section all the time when we venture to the off topic section.Makes us now want to stay out of the off topic section because of stupid threads like that.

But you would wanna know what people are eating, drinking, thinking, doing?

That logic sure is flawed.

Except you;re not avoiding it......nor is Bardock and a few more than keep insisting it's a crappy place that should be avoided 😬

~wickerman~

Agreed, posting sporadically and such isn't avoiding it.

Agreed. Although i'm new here, i'd like to help change it, if i saw some useful advice and suggestions other than "No more stupid threads" or "I want the ignore thread function, then all is well" or "Just destroy it" or such 😬

~wickerman~

Personally I don't even think it's that bad.

I just love how some people have this "holier than thou" complex. Who complain about the OTF because it's the 'in' thing to do now. So pure and holy that the slightest sexual innuendo offends. It's simple really, if you don't like it stay out of it. There's many more people who enjoy it, and post there a lot. Not to mention it's one of the busiest trafficked places in KMC. So a few people complaining is no big deal.

Not to mention I love how people have taken it upon themselves, to determine which threads are stupid or not. Like everyone else would simply agree because these people know best 🙄

The ignore threads idea should be brought back, if only so we don't get the same people around again, complaining everytime a new thread pops up in the OTF, which facing reality will only last for a few days most of the time 👆

I hear ya sistah. I'm assuming it's the trendy thing to do nowadays, just like bashing Le Crew was the trendy thing to do 😬

Anyway, time for me to take a certain thread over the 1000 post line, then i'm coming back here to read all 2000 something posts in the Suggestions thread 👆

~wickerman~

Oh and even better is the people who threaten about their presence. Excuse me while I go cry a river because you've decided to stop gracing the OTF with your meaningful and almighty posts. cry Here I go.

I think that the thread "Wildest sexural dreams or what ever it is called should be closed.It is distrubing and sick.JM

I think you should just not post or read in the thread. That would solve your problem already

KMCs current state has always, and will always be a direct reflection of its members.

Fun, cool memmbers=fun, cool good time.
