I think this "debate" has been framed in the most petty and myopic terms. What this is really about is limiting people's fun because some other people are annoyed by that fun.
OK, so a lot of people don't like the Rookery. Those people who want it put in one thread are advocating limits on people's fun because they are annoyed with multiple threads. I am sorry, but your annoyance is too low of a bar to limit people's fun.
The Rookery is harmless. It's fluff and zany light-hearted intra-day banter that some people enjoy. Since there is no giant flamewar going on in the Rookery, or anything that is outright hurtful or illegal going on there, then the mods should leave it alone. That they have let it exist in peace for so long signals to me that they have decided they are cool with the Rookery in its current, daily incarnation.
If we examine this through that lens, what then, is left of this "discussion" or debate? All that remains is that a certain group of individuals don't like the Rookery and want their will imposed on how those threads progress. That is a limitation on the fun of those who /do/ enjoy it. No matter how you slice this, this debate is about how group A wants to limit the fun of group B over something that is, at its absolute worst, a petty annoyance.
The tools currently exist for people who are annoyed by the Rookery or don't like it or whatever, to completely ignore its existence. Those tools merely need to be implemented by those people who wish not to partake of it. That they choose not to implement those tools is very telling of the attitudes of those people who have vented all this Rookery hate (or hate for "fluff" in general). Sometimes you don't get what you want in life. Sometimes that is for a very good reason.
I would think that if there is anything approaching irony about this whole thread it's that individuals who were so deeply criticized for their fluff are now on some crusade to limit other people's fluff. Absolutely hilarious. What is it about the Internet that turns otherwise intelligent people into such a petty bunch of *******? Why do you want to limit the fun of other people who are not hurting you?
Think on that for a bit.
Sorah hasn't played or posted in, what, 2 years?
That'd be like me lashing out at people who participated in the Ravenbane/Darkfang lover affair and daily updates still. -
Seriously, when did people start liking this haet guy, I heard he's kind of a jerk.

That is only your interpetation of the rule. The Rookery is a different topic every day and does not include the same text. The Mods have reviewed the subject and decided that your intepretation is incorrect.
Seriously. How can anyone have any kind of merited discussion when you just keep replying "Nothings wrong, mods said so, go way now bye!"
*KTHUNKSPLSH*

Quote:Yep, cause repetition, nothing is wrong with that, right?Originally Posted by Fedor
Once again you are unable to discuss anything on it's merits and have to re-use the same image that didn't make sense the first time you use it. Way to get your point across.
Maybe when I start posting it daily itll become cute and acceptable?

This thread is alright I guess. Mildly entertaining, with a faint bouquet of hipocrisy tinged with bittersweet angst. Who knows, if we let it age a little more it might even become a epic post
Wait, I screwed this all up. I should have posted "HAI GUYZ ITS THURZDAY WASSUP". as a new post. -

You keep saying it's a violation haet, but the people that actually get to make that judgement say it's not.
That's all well and good of you to say xan, but I don't believe you. Not even for a second.

And that picture applies how exactly? Everyone is aware you are obsessed with the Rookery. It's just that so few people care what you think.
It applies because you said
despite people saying that they wouldn't care if it was kept to a single thread.Quote:There is no reason to just have a single thread, if there was the people complaining would complain about that as well. They just want to gripe and the Rookery is the target at the moment. -
Quote:Yes, and when I call someone a stupid moron, it's easy enough to look past it, but it's still against the rules.Originally Posted by Fedor
Noone has to read the thread if they don't want to. It's easy enough to look past it. The Mods said it's not a violation. So why would anyone so opposed to it waste time discussing it so much?
It's hopeful that discussion will, you know, have the mods finally enforce the rules they are so happy to PM people with, because the Rookery is blatant rule 5 breaking. -

Now originally, I think the rookery tried to be one thread and got way too long so they decided to break it up to a daily thread. (I could be wrong on it though).
.
No, you're absolutely wrong, it started with Rookery posting "Good morning!" and then spamming about pamcakes every day, regardless of what everyone else thought. -

But, fun is agreeing and disagreeing and I think I agree that I should disagree, but I disagreed by agreeing!
I need advil now. -
YOU GUYS ARE RUINING MY FUN BY AGREEING WITH ME.
This was supposed to be my attempt to fit in and be all silly and giggly and pointless.

When I ask you guys to stop being antagonistic, petty jerks, I'm not being a hypocrite. The Rookery's fun is victimless, but yours is at the expense of the Rookery. Who thought these were even remotely comparable?
The Soaring Valor, HEROID, Say Something Nice, and countless other assorted threads that don't have to be reposted as a new post every day suffer from thread bump due to daily mouth garbage.
Of course, it doesn't matter because you're all now "Mod endorsed" because when rule 5 gets brought up, we get told "Just expand your page view".
Ah great, I mentioned the mod's again, I fully expect the banhammer to be incoming now.
Edit: But just for example, at the time of this post, the rookery threads all the way back to monday are still on the default first page.
Its kinda sad, because the Virtue forums used to have more stuff posted more often, but I know a lot of people just quit bothering because the Rookery garbage drowns it out and nothing is done about it because "it's harmless".
