Subject: To Those Complaining About My Threads

Written By: Donnie Darko on 06/02/06 at 5:50 pm

I understand your annoyance. In your shoes, I'd probably be annoyed too. And I will tone it down, but in return I ask for people to start posting interesting topics. Whenever I stop posting, the board dies.

That's true, but it seems every thread on here is either a PPP mainstay or a thread about some old TV show or something.

They don't have to be decade threads or anything, it's just most of the threads here are so boring. They're usually polls; the PPP is the only lively board here.

I guess I'm just mourning the death of the decade boards :(

Written By: Sister Morphine on 06/02/06 at 6:06 pm

Look, when you spam the boards, all the threads that people might be interested in or might want to post in, are pushed down to page 2 or 3....sometimes even 4.  They look at the first page, see all these threads, and decide not to post. 

THAT'S why this place seems dead.  It's not up to us to provide you with entertaining threads.  If you don't like the lack of interesting threads, make one.  Not 25.

Just following on from Sister Morphine's comment, if the boards are dead it's because you are systematically trying to suffocate the interesting threads by bombarding us with stupid/pathetic ones.

Anyway, the boards aren't dead. They are alive and kicking and we ALL play an active part in that.

That's my point, there IS no interesting threads.  I will admit that my opening post was quite egotistic and even mean, but whenever I leave the traffic of the board is significantly reduced. I'm not saying I'm the main reason the board's alive, it's just what I've noticed.

I know i'm not the only one here who likes coming on and posting in the usual threads (How's the weather, Feel Any Way, What Did You Do Today etc), and I also know i'm not the only one who's put off when I log into the PPP and see threads like 'Be A Jerk' and 'Whose The Biggest Postwhore'.

Most of your threads are completely un-necessary. Half of them belong in the decades boards, and the rest are just complete wastes of space. If the board seems dead to you, go post somewhere that tolerates stupid threads...

This is my point, Donnie Darko. If there are no interesting threads to YOU, make threads that you consider interesting . . . Unless you are telling me that 'What is the difference between 1983 and 1985' type threads really appeals to you?  :P

Just because they aren't interesting to YOU doesn't mean they aren't interesting to everyone else.  We happen to like these "uninteresting" threads and find it rather tiresome that you keep bumping them down with this slop.

I have been trying to make my threads more varied, but the threads that occur at the decade boards are usually really uninteresting, not to mention slow.  But even if people don't want to make up for my reduced posting, I'll still post less and better :)

We don't need a tidal wave of new threads everyday, Darko, to make the boards more interesting. As long as the threads involved have quality, that's all you need. I have made up three threads in the past month - if I feel the need to make another up I will do when I want to.

I have applauded you, too Donnie. I must admit that I really don't care about some of these threads one way or another. If it doesn't look interesting to me, I totally ignore it. But, I do understand how some people can be frustrated having to go down a few pages looking for certain threads (I know how it is like trying to find threads).  I have said this before and I will say it again:


QUALITY! not quantity.

there's nothing wrong with creating a few of those kinds of threads...but whenever 10 new ones are created per day (by 2-3 different people), and they are very similiar to other ones already started...that's when people get annoyed.  Then....the only threads on pages 1-3, are the ones created by you, DD, and Trimac...and everybody else's threads are buried in the pile. I think that is why people are getting upset about it.

No offense, but all of your threads are all about the same thing more or less.  I understand you like starting topics, but do you really need to make more than 1 thread a day?

If I start a topic in the 80's section, it gets buried to page 2 within hours to make room for stupid threads that analyze decades.  Stop analyzing the decades, and just enjoy them without doing a zillion threads on them. 

If you guys keep spamming with stupid threads, then I am afraid I will have no choice but to leave inthe00s for good.  I originally joined these boards to talk about 80's music, but I can't do that anymore because you guys are really taking the fun out of it.  Please stop!

No offense, but all of your threads are all about the same thing more or less.  I understand you like starting topics, but do you really need to make more than 1 thread a day?

For once, Whistle... I agree.

Too many threads about one thing.

Now, I have nothing against those who make them, but it does get very monotonous.

I am back now and can offer what I would have said earlier had I had the time.

It is very similar to what others have already said.
We do get tired of seeing repetitive threads.
What you think is something great to post is not necessarily great in others eyes.
And like it has already been said, you are not the only one.

I personally stay away from those threads because to me they are pointless.
But here is what I was thinking could help remedy the situation somewhat.
Why not take a lot of the threads you have created and turn them into one giant thread?
You could call it "Donnie Darko's Random Thoughts Thread"
But anytime sonething strikes you odd, like a word that is stuck in your head,
You simply go to your thread, change the title and then post that word that is hounding you.

I have a thread just like this but it always get pushed to page 10 or so...
also because I posted it in PBG instead of PPP. It's my Happy Hour Thread.
I have changed the title several times but still only really post my crazy thoughts
or anything for that matter there.

You could also look at the infamous "Longest Thread Ever".... and post your random thoughts there.

You are a great person Mike, and you are even great at handling criticism, whether it is constructive or not.
And I am not discounting you thoughts or feelings either. At least I hope it isn't being taken that way.
This is a free board and we have the ability to post what we want when we want, but I don't want it to be
monitored to the point where it turns into a Communist society where everything needs to be approved before we can do it.

It's just a matter of using our judgement and thinking about things before we act on them.
That would include getting into arguments with some members who have been banned
or those that are just egging us on. I have learned from my rash decisions to post....
;)

And don't leave the boards over this.
Believe it or not, your opinion does matter
We just don't like to see it in 50+ threads a week :)

I agree with Donnie that this place is pretty dull most of the time and seeing the same threads day after day gets old.

I do think, Donnie, that you are going about this the wrong way.  Most of your threads have a topic that requires a quick to the point answer, not a lot of dialogue comes out of them so they die out quickly and you end up having to start a new thread.   Like Tam said "Quality, not quantity."   

I like you Donnie and hope you decide to stay. :)  You just need to chill. ;)

Donnie, amazingly, I find it rather funny that people don't like your new threads all the time. I mean, yeah, it pushes others down but the mainstays always get brought back up no matter what, so it's not like they're disappearing.

Yet, I don't agree about most threads being disinteresting. I think when you post a thread it needs to have broad appeal. That's why when I post most in the '80s and '90s or sometimes the other decade threads, I make sure the topic is something most of us can relate to. Yeah, they eventually die out, and to my dismay, they're hardly ever brought back, but that's alright. C'est la vie

Donnie, maybe you ought to go through a lot of old topics that others made and bring them back alive. Sometimes that's a better thing to do rather than keep adding new ones. Or, maybe, if Chucky wants to add a new Thread area for the kinds of threads you bring up a lot, maybe that would work. I know some of us enjoy your threads, although sometimes they can hinge on redundancy - I still find myself posting in them.

From what I can tell, you're always thinking and having new ideas, and that's great to bring to the board, but maybe there should be a happy medium for those who like to post new threads a lot and for those who like to stick with the old timer threads, while posting new ones from time to time.

Well, I think I've contradicted myself completely, but I guess I am trying to see both sides of the coin.

Donnie, you threadwhore, this is what you do. I like some of your threads DD, but usually don't like any decade comparison crap'ola. I like threads that appeal to the masses where almost anyone can relate, pretty much I like the boring simple ones that are there simply for entertainment. Donnie and others try to get people to think and discuss and thats good for a some demographics. I think some younger people need a constant stream of stimulation, and patience for newly opened thread replies is sacrificed and new threads are opened to get post activity.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy that.  If the boards are dead it's because NO ONE is going over there, and it has nothing to do with the absence of one person.  If that one person has that much power over whether people post in that section or not, he should channel that into running for political office.

I, too am sorry that Donnie left. In fact, I PMed him and just about begged him to stay. But I am tired of people whinning that the boards are dead without him. As I said in another thread, 1 person does not a board make. The boards were here LONG before Donnie came aboard and will still be here without him. If you want to "liven" up the place (whatever you think is "lively") then DO IT YOURSELF! You have a brain. You can come up with topics to post (as long as it is approprate). Just QUIT YOUR WHINNING!!!

Love him or hate him, you have to give him one thing. He was very good at having "discussions". Personally I think that's a good thing, but I won't say any more on it (I'm sure there's people who already think I'm an a**hole for how much I've defended him and his style of posts).

Yes, I agree with you in that respect, Luke. He just didn't know where to draw the line. And on the whole I don't think the board member's assessment of the situation was as harsh as some make it out to be. I still don't understand his decision to leave, however. Indeed, I haven't seen him on Msn Messenger for almost 4 days now - and he's on almost every day.

What I don't get is: why is it a bad thing to talk about stuff that makes you think (which he did, whether or not you liked his threads, they were always thought provoking)? People need to be more accepting/open-minded.

Yeah. Despite what whistledog (which isn't THAT bad a guy, after all ;-)) said, I'll be blunt and say the 80s/90s boards are dead boring as they are (the 70s is the worst). Just threads about this artist, this song - blah blah blah. If it weren't for the community spirit and all the great people, I would have kept to more interesting boards like 'RetroJunk.'

To you two (and some others) the decade discussions threads were interesting.  Others here joined in occasionally, others (like me) avoided them.  The problem became two-fold.

1 Those discussions entered other threads and they became difficult to avoid if you didn't want to read it.
2 the number of that type of thread got ridiculous.  It's fine to have the discussions but is there really any need to start a new thread every time you felt like discussing the difference/similarities between various years?

No I don't think it was uncalled for. I believe I have every right to speak my mind. I can admit I didn't like Donnie, I just think this whole discussion has gone on far too long (2 threads, seriously?!), when there really isn't anything to discuss. I know fine well that most of you who like Donnie have other means of contacting him, so it's not like he's dead. And Donnie leaving the boards has absolutely no relevance to the quiet period we're supposedly having (haven't really noticed it, myself). You all are inteligent people, surely you can start up threads in the decades boards discussing things you like. What more is there to be discussed?!

Don't worry about it Marty. I know you guys were great mates and you both shared something you are both passionate in ('decadeology'). As mentioned before countless times (why I feel the need to justify myself I don't know) I have never had a problem with Darko either so you shouldn't feel attacked - I think you are a great guy.

I view nostalgia a bit differently to you guys. To me it's not about what makes one year different to another but just simply accepting and enjoying the experiences of the time, the media, toys etc etc. The decadeology idea flooded my favourite decade (the 80s) and, IMHO, it was difficult to talk about anything else - that is all.  :)
