I don't read MW2 threads.

Seriously though, we have two diverging topics going on here. Board clutter and IMing.

I don't give a shite about the IMing.

Well, somebody does or the site's dictator wouldn't come onto a board he never frequents to try and slap some wrists. I'm just sayin'. I don't mind teh IMing, but then again the board clutter isn't much of a problem either. It's not like The Rant or OT in here.

There's about 25 posters that post here regularly right? It takes literally all day for a thread started in the morning to make it to the second page. There's not that much traffic IMO

I take full responsibility for the actions of the clan, as their leader their actions are a direct reflection of me. Allow us yo take advatage of a thread of the day, and you will see the OT type banter cease. I recognize that we have faults, most of which pertain to situations where kids like HM get butthurt because we beat him so bad, and we come out like vultures to roadkill. However most of this can be remedied by a single thread and an everyone admin type atmosphere in policing ourselves. We will never be the OT, however we talk online while playing basically every single day, which will naturally make us talk more during the day, with TD being the place to do so.

Board cluttering and IMing are both issues that need to be resolved.

Just examples from today:

A thread saying '" I should air support down" is cluttering and pointless

a serious topic turning into 3 pages of lunch discussion IMing is a problem, and keeps bumping up the topic.

The legit topics that stay on track can be very informative to even the lurkers.

I think the regulars on this board enjoy the board, and can probably agree to work on these issues without any changes made.

I agree. However, I've seen a couple of threads where people had honest questions about the game. IMO, these are ok. They just seemed to get hijacked so easily by....nevermind...But those do not need to be eliminated. I like to find out what perk or killstreak works best on what maps and such.

I say there needs to be a TOTD (thanks Black), and any comments about the previous nights game, or something that happened in your game (even though not with a "board clan") can go into that thread. But to eliminate all other threads about the game is silly. Most of them have their place. Its just the nature of the beast.

I take it this "IMing" refers to things like IRL discussion and not just scattered thoughts about the game?

A sticky for each LESI and DA CLAN would clear alot of chatter and trash talking up.

Other than that the word clutter is a very loose term. Many people probably hate the MW2 talk and that's fine. I hate discussions about games that I don't care at all about, but I just don't click them.

If PS3ers and team LESI had a sticky, you'd see alot less threads made to organize times when people would play and the chit chats about funny things that happened while playing the games.

The clutter doesn't personally bother me. I just like things that are organized.

It's basically constant back and forth between posters about completely off topic stuff...ad nauseum.

personally, i used to hang out on the OT, but that place is full of premadonnas and it got old. same story.
for the most part we stay on topic and discuss "gaming", which is why the board is here.
if we get off topic discussing a restaurant or a ball game, etc; it typically doesn't last much longer than a page or so.

however the flamers on this board get old - ala HM

We both agree that no policing is necessary and for the most part can agree to be concsious of the posting and not hijack threads or post stupid comments in threads that don't apply.
