Attack of the Stickied threads.
« on: April 13, 2009, 05:08:30 PM »
In the Dresdenfiles Spoiler forums the stickied threads are slowly taking over the first page of the forum. In a few years they may start colonizing the second page. Let's see if we can't take back some territory from them.

http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,16.0.html
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,2300.0.html
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,2526.0.html

The above threads say that the Dresden Files Spoilers Forum is a Spoiler okay zone,  describes the policy spoilers for recently released novels/stories, and announces that we now have spoiler tags and when they should be used, respectively. One thread which contained all the info from theses 3 topics would be more efficient and instead of looking at 3 threads a new guy would only need to look at one.

Totally agree, raised this a long time ago.

What was the admins response?

Scroll down!

Nothing to see here. No balls.

Further thoughts.

Changes...Early Spoiler Rules
Spoiler Tags!
This is a SPOILERS OKAY zone
This is an ON TOPIC discussion board

Do I need four stickys telling me the same thing? These need to be consolidated.

Questions Specifically for Jim, part 2 - wacky or not, here we come!
Questions Specifically for Jim
Ultimate Jim Butcher Interviews Master List Part I & II

Another duplication. Why not just have one master list link in the other two and unsticky them.

Series Timeline
Short Stories -- Discussion Threads   

Why are these stickys? Do I really need to be told about these threads each time I visit the board. No.

Topic List   
No opinion on this one. Could at least be useful if maintained. If not then remove.

Can one of you Admins please tidy up the Dresden files spoilers board.

That's a little hostile don't you think? They are just making suggestions on the suggestion board, that's kind of why its here.
Purveyor of the theory that the overarching plot of the Dresdenverse is that its all the dinosaur's fault.

There are suggestions and then there are remarks like "no balls". Big difference. Sorta like the difference between saying "I disagree with your point of view on this" and "Asshole". They're both saying the same thing, right? ;D

Ah I was reading a little to fast and didn't see that part, but I still think its a little to hostile.

And I think referring to the mods and admins as having no balls was too hostile.  *shrug*  Different strokes.

Well, one of us doesn't, despite making an EXCELLENT Nightcrawler.


I'll look into combining info from two of them later today, but one of them is locked from comments, which is why there's more than one.

Mickey is more diplomatic than I am. If you want our help, you might want to ease back on the OMG UR DIX throttle there, Hoss.

As long as he doesn't burn "BAD MOTHER F*****" on the staff, we'll allow it.

Now I want a staff that has BAD MOTHER F***** in Ogham or Futhark engraved/burned into it.
