No. No one even talks about those two! Ever! >_>
Sports is hardly ever the topic of discussion on these forums. However, you'll see that there have been several topics dedicated to food in the off-topic board.

Care for me to list some?

OH WOW WE HAVE HAD A FEW TOPICS ABOUT FOOD LET US DEVOTE AN ENTIRE SECTION TO IT

No.

before I saw that "no" I thought ninji lost his mind.

You'll still never be as crazy as 3D though. :)

In all honesty, I can't see a food board being any more dead than the Fan Creations board.
 
Really. If we just make a board for anything that's had five topics made about it, then... ... I've lost my train of thought.
 
Has doing away with that stupid 30 day rule ever been officially brought up?

I don't see how doing just that could hurt.

Because then you'd be able to bump any old topic.
You haven't yet explained how that is in any way a problem.

Say you make a topic in March.

Having it bumped for no apparent reason in April OF NEXT YEAR is a big no-no.

How is that any worse than having it bumped for no reason two days after it's made?
 
To be honest,we could go over the red with a blue.Just 'cause blue is the key to happiness.(According to Earthbound) :P
Now that's a rather spiffing idea,eh? :posh:

I can't tell whether this is a joke, but no.

Because it's not being bumped if someone posts in it after two days. >_>

I honestly can't figure out why the f*ck Ninji wants us to waste space(a valid problem) instead of... bumping old topics(which has no negative effects on anyone). Is it some kind of obsessive compulsive disorder thing?

While bumping topics saves space, it might angers people. Sometimes more than moderately.
 
Looniju said:
WHY would it anger people? Wastefully making new topics for things angers ME.
The locking of topics containing useful information and posts just for the heinous crime of being old angers me. Age discrimination anyone?
 
Here's my opinion on the matter. 30 days is a bit too short of a time period in my opinion; 60 days seems more fitting. It gives that subject 2 months to be revived, so long as it is a useful post. (Something that actually provides usefulness to the topic. Something like "THIS GAEM ROCKZ" would be a no-no, but a descriptive opinion or statement that's on topic would be fine.) I've been to a lot of forums over the past 8 or so years; out of all of them, we're one of the strictest forums I've been to. (I remember one place that had a 1 week bumping policy...) Most places averaged 45-90 days though. And a few places didn't care.

Well, 60 days would certainly be an improvement, but I would like it if we were one of the forums that "didn't care".
