Salvage as much as possible from General Discussion

[Glimbo]

I'd be a shame to lose everything. There are a few threads in there that can belong in other categories (like the pixel trivia thread that got moved). Even if some of these threads are old or weren't that active, putting them in a category where they will be more visible would be good I think. I'm most certainly missing some.

These could be pinned threads in Introductions:

Thanks for the effort of compiling those, bro.

I agree with what you say, too.

 

[Yousef Yousef]

One of my threads got mentioned, I must be important or something.

That SM64DS was my first thread here I didn't know there were other categories

I went ahead and moved some already. The ones that I felt were obvious anyhows. I edited your comment to signify which ones ive moved. The rest I’m unsure on, I’ll let the others decided. Cheers friend

These will stay, as they’re not misplaced. I only moved the ones that evidently belonged elsewhere.

Thanks for mentioning my Worst Anime Thread.

So, I must have missed this today: are we planning to raze much of General Discussion?
Sad, but I get it. The forum increases in magnitude day by day and so many garbage threads have been made. As a profession thread diver, I must say that there’s just a lot of threads that exist which I can’t contribute to.

 

[LiberoVulpesLiberoVulpes's icon]

To be honest, is a bit sad to see the AMAs go away, they were a nice way to get to know people and see if i vibed with them.

You can still do so by sending the user a private message :)

That's boring, so no.

Not really the same when AMAs allowed everyone and anyone to ask unique questions at any time.

 

[jankusanagi jankusanagi]

I'd suggest salvaging "Poorly describe a video game..."

Poorly describe a video game...

...and other people try to guess what it is. Only rule is not saying the name of the game (obviously.) I'll start us with an easy one: An old man keeps biting people and getting all of his friends to bite people so Conan the Barbarian and his family have to don bondage gear and beat the elder...

retrogametalk.com

Probably to "General Gaming"

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I had been pushing for AMAs to be a thing since my second week in here, so it's completely disheartening seeing the whole thing go away like that.

 

[Glimbo]

Did one last sweep. Ideally I would have them all in one post but I kept missing stuff.

[RageBurner]

@Glimbo you are doing everyone a wonderful service. I admit that my headspace is a between righteous anger and a level of despondence, so I don't think I could run the salvage operation you've got going here.

 

[Mr. Daddy]

I had been pushing for AMAs to be a thing since my second week in here, so it's completely disheartening seeing the whole thing go away like that.​

Perhaps the AMAs could be like a sub forum introductions? They are pretty much just more extensive and detailed ways to get to know your fellow users.​

Yeah that one had a lot of meaningful discussion and high effort posts like Waffle’s PT, I’ll move it.
