OTD is slow, so let's put the Romper Room back in there so it gets more visibility and traffic.  :flowstone:


It will still be more visible than it is now.

Where's the logic in your statement about it being more visible in OTD?  It's still a niche and mostly useless subforum.  OTD seldom breaks out of single digits in terms of active viewers at any given time.

If you don't get it it's not worth explaining it to you.

Typical response of someone who can't prove their own point because they know they're wrong.

No, actually I've already said it multiple times and didn't feel like explaining it again.

More people come into OTD than SA, it's further up the list on the forum index so when you click community you will see you RR, you won't have to scroll all the way to the bottom and look at the last line, when it was in OTD before it got more traffic, etc..

What makes you think it will do any better in OTD this time than it did last time?  OTD is more dead now than it has ever been, and besides, what difference does a couple of extra views make anyway?  You really think a marginal increase in potential traffic will change anything? 

I don't have access to statistics regarding traffic to the various forums but from my experience the majority of people who use OTD are quite well aware of Romper Room and opt not to use it.  The very few "fresh" eyes in there are usually intending to post in the Pub and wouldn't want to post in a place like Romper Room anyway.

The only time RR was ever "good" was when we used to make fun of Cherokee in there by making stupid posts and signing his name to it and even that got old pretty quick.  This is just like people complaining about "the old days" and making efforts in vain to rekindle those times when they should just accept that they're behind us.

Kill the romp and cleanup SA. It's a troll fest now anyway. Alan did a great job when he was moderating it a lot. People shouldn't be encouraged to troll in any forum as I'm sure there is bleed over into other forums which causes more Staff work/aggravation. Burn it down, Ythan!

That's rich coming from you, considering you went into the Romp and encouraged others to 'take their best shots' at you; and then when you didn't get the responses intended you begun acting like a little bitch.

Anyone who thinks romper room needs to be scrapped should then also agree that OTD needs to go. Romper Room's amusement and premise is the lack of seriousness. You don't get people melting across the boards from Romper bullshit. Much unlike OTD where people get so riled up from the personal attacks. How many times has OTD's bullshit caused a lot of trouble for the mods? Cross board melts. The only time anything goes down in romper is when someone tries to come looking for trouble then gets shit on like they deserve. I'd say Romper Room has been getting just as much, if not at times more, traffic compared to OTD as well. There is absolutely no reason to scrap Romper Room aside from the sense of entitlement some of the OTD regulars naturally assume. RR doesn't even need moderated. I'd love to hear some statistics on bans regarding the two forums. I can't think of a single person who has been banned within RR, let alone shit that dragged it's way out from it.

I would like Romper Room made it's own separate forum.

Haha, it must be a coincidence that the majority of people in support of moving Romper Room back to OTD are people who have failed at integrating into OTD in the first place.  Nobody has presented any logical reasons for why it should be done yet there are plenty of reasons why it shouldn't.  Take your personal convictions about me out of the equation if you can.  Like I said, the increase in traffic would be minimal at best.  If anything, you'll just get your feelings hurt.  Moving Romper Room to OTD will more than likely cause more drama and unnecessary shit for the staff eventually if it doesn't simply continue to stagnate.  There is no positive end-game for the Romper Room anyway.  Just because you say it's going to be a certain way doesn't make it a fact, at least I'm basing my position on relatively concrete observations.  You just keep repeating yourself without any substance to back up your claims. 

Also, it's pretty clear that Asante has always hated OTD and wants to lump Romper Room in there because if he had his way OTD and Romper Room would both be banished in the first place.  In a roundabout way, we actually agree on that, but he would never admit to it and would rather present what seems to me to be an insincere facade of acceptance and willingness to coexist with it. 

I totally support the closing of OTD but the admins have stated repeatedly that it's not going to happen.  Keeping Romper Room open is basically like providing a playground for aspiring trolls, something I think the site would be much better off without.  The logical basis for closing Romper Room is much stronger than it is for moving it or even letting it stay in the SA forum as a sub.

When that whistle-blowing [omit] PositiveOutlook(P-O) came to RR acting like a [omit] after he decided to have a vendetta against me because he's a [omit], he tried to get me banned because he doesn't have any deductive skills, he thought I was the person spamming, when in reality it was Special Ed, he blew the whistle on me and got me banned for like 5 minutes, then I talked to the mod and got it reversed, lol.

Besides that I've only seen one other person get banned, they spammed the same thing in every thread for a while.

RR drama is minimal, I've been posting there for a while and that's the extent of the drama I've encountered, and it was all contained in RR.

@idiot

I've presented many logical reasons why it should be moved, both In this thread and others, it's not my fault if you don't agree with them, you don't have to because as much as it pains you your opinion on most matters around here is not the gold standard, sorry.

Personally I'd just be curious to see if SA could be cleaned up with moving RR and a little more moderating. Currently it's mostly trolling and little seriousness. I think some really good topics could be had if people took it more seriously. The premise is wide open for people to share their full opinion and not have their forum presence be changed because of any controversy from those opinions.

You are suggesting that one of the virtues of the Romper Room is that it has minimal drama, yet you are advocating that it be moved to one of the most unnecessarily dramatic forums on the site.

SA was the first community forum on the internet I was a regular of, I used to lurk/post in there nearly everyday, anymore I don't even check it though, it didn't take long for it all to go downhill.

Like I've said many times before, it needs a really active, somewhat strict, mod that is willing to devote a small amount of time to it. The mods it has do a great job, they just don't have time to sift through all of it.

You are being very dense.

I've said many times it's not specifically about it being with OTD but because of the lax rules and visibility that is currently the second best place for it... The best would be to make it its own forum.

The drama in OTD is because of the posters there, I honestly don't want the majority of you posting in RR, IT IS ABOUT VISIBILITY.

I'm dense but you're suggesting that putting Romper Room in OTD will somehow not result in more drama, yet you say in the same post that OTD is inherently dramatic because of the people who post in it..  :picard:
