    So I'd maybe suggest having a separate thread for the comments?

    Okay, thought about this for a while, and I reckon it'll work. I'll review it if there are any problems, but I don't think there will be any :)

    So, yeah, go for it.

    Do you want me to make the thread? If so, are you going to leave the posts in the other thread, or will you move them in? Or are you just going to do both?

    Suggestion if this is going ahead.

    IO, you should edit your rules into post 1 and take that out of the thread title. Then you can have
    Know your fellow *insert description thingy* PICS ONLY!
    and
    Know your fellow *insert description thingy* CHAT THREAD!

    Might make it more obvious

    "Know your fellow *insert description thingy*"

    I came up with that.

    *tear*


    Also, I agree with that guy ^

    Sorry, meant to reply to this hours ago! Of course, feel free to start it.

    I'll move discussion-type posts from the current thread into the new one tomorrow. I'll continue to move similar posts in future, if they happen to crop up from time to time.

    Thanks for the ideas :) I had something like that in mind anyway. But, if people think I'm not doing it right, we'll still have this thread here for more feedback. That way we should be able to keep things running smoothly.

    Wish I kept more of an eye on this thread.....

    This whole having a separate thread for comments for the know your C&Hers thread seems like the biggest overkill ever tbh.

    I really doubt I'll ever be that arsed to bother going to another thread purely to comment about a photo someone posted.

    Could they be pinned together or something so they both end up being bumped together?

    EDIT: BTW, serious respect to whichever mod went through the entire "know your..." thread and moved every chat post to the new thread. Some serious devotion to the forum there.

    Heh, just goes to show that we can't please everyone!
    Tbh I didn't have any opinion either way, so I stayed out of it up to now. Now that we have a new system though, we'll leave it for a bit anyway and see if it works. If it does, great. If not, we can always think of something else.

    That was IO; I certainly don't have the patience for all that. :P

    You can keep posting comments in the photographs thread. I'll just move them to the other thread after a while.

    Is that not just creating a whole load of work for you, which isn't entirely necessary?

    Whole thing seems entirely superfluous to me. It's a pictures thread, making some form of comment on the pictures is part of the whole thing, in my mind. If it descends into general chat, that's not really what the thread's about, but having any comments at all made, being moved to a whole other thread just makes everything a bit messy, and more than a little incoherent.

    I wouldn't be arsed going to the other thread to post a comment, and unless someone referred to a comment made in the other thread, I probably wouldn't ever remember to go and like, read it. It just seems really awkward. Seeing how it works sounds fine, but if it ends up just being IO moving posts over all the time, that's not really my definition of it working. Then it just becomes a recycle bin, or like, somewhere to put the stuff some people don't want to delete but don't actually want [at least in the main thread] either.

    Just so people know, I suggested it just as an idea. I didn't really think it'd be implemented straight away. I thought there'd be more 'feedback' before any decision was made.

    I dunno, this isn't the first time something like this has come up, there's a current issue in another forum that is quite like this whole thing to my mind......

    ie overthinking things and adding rules for purely the sake of adding rules.

    I can easily merge the threads back together again if this experiment doesn't work out.

    Anyone who's bored enough to check it out, take a look at the photographs thread in the Limerick City Forum at the moment. It's a disaster. The OP himself doesn't even have a picture in it. The guy made up some rules and then broke all of them himself. And, because it was derailed before I got mah mod powahs, there' nothing I can do to fix it >.<

    I don't want our one going as bad as that, but I'd like people to enjoy it too. That's where feedback comes in useful.

    The main issue with comments from what I could see was that some people were just being weird and stalkery with some of the pictures. Granted they could just be deleted should things get bad again.

    Just to point out,it wasn't really an ongoing problem[for me anyway] just the latest bouts of stalking >.> and msn/facebook style 1 sentence posts were a bit much.Saying that some of the comebacks and comments have lost their epicness with the split.

    IO if you like/don't mind moving comments/posts it's grand,but whatever flow and bumps the thread was getting will surely fall if it's nothing but pictures.

    Just my opinion, but wasn't the thread was only ever really bumped when pictures were posted?
    And also, getting the thread bumped isn't the point of the thread. I think there's one thread where bumping matters....

    Hello there.

    I'm going to throw an idea out here, if you like it you can take it, if you don't send it right back...

    The "Never Have I Ever thread" needs to die.

    Yes, I, most well known of thanks whores around these parts want this thread to fall into a big hole and never come back.

    It is being used solely to abuse the thanks system rather than actually contribute, and it belongs in The Cuckoo's nest so bad, I can actually hear Sarky crying for it.

    Please, for the love of all that is good... please move that thread to tCN or close it... please :(

    Well, I'll second this, but moving it to tCN wouldn't make a whole lot of sense since there's no thanks there. Instead, locking it would be a good idea... It was fun for a while.

    I echo this statement.

    A vast majority of the posts are purely for thanks whoring. "Never Have I Ever seen so many thanks in C&H" and variations has cropped up a few times now.

    Personally I don't think it's bringing anything to the forum. I was opposed to the idea from the start and it's just getting worse and worse in my opinion.

    I agree, artificially inflated thanks count are no fun.

    For the record I genuinely didn't think many people would have done what I haven't. :P

    I would let it run for a bit longer. It is a fun thread and it isn't causing any harm.

    EDIT: Thanks whoring is becoming a problem but most of them are serious comments.

    He's only looking for thanks really :P

    Ah no, think it's had it's run tbh. Not as effective when most people won't admit to the outrageous stuff which makes the drinking game fun, which they obviously won't among internet strangers.

    Then let it run in tCN where there's no thanks and you can enjoy it for the good wholesome fun that it is. I mean, if it's fun you don't mind about all those silly thanks right?

    Kill it,kill it with fire.

    It was a laugh at the start,but it IS just thanks whoring now.It's meant to be a drinking game with a bit of scandal and banter thrown in,it wears out pretty quick anyway.

    Also,if someone tries to start a game of Kings in C&H I will leave Boards forever and facepalm

    The point of the game is to see who has done what though which is fair enough. Posting that you've done it takes up a stupid amount of space and wouldn't exactly be coherent.

    Basically, the game works IRL but not so much on a forum. IMO it should be locked - there's been quite a few inappropriate responses deleted already and the vast majority of other posts are just stupid.
