Start a board for millennials to talk to each other?

[kuroro]

Basically a board for 30+ people who grew up with most of the games hosted on CD Romance. Not saying people should have to be age checked or whatever. Just a board nominally for the older posters to congregate on and discuss games if they choose.

It's possible to have both. No one's making anyone go to any section on this forum.

Okay, maybe not a section for this.

It will cause infighting depending on what the topic is. We need to be united in being retro nerds.

We absolutely don't. If you don't care about a section, just stay out of it. It's really pretty easy? There are multiple parts of this board that I've never been to. For all I know there are 8000 topics there like "bjork is a shithead" and more power to them. It's still not gonna get me to look.

I will come, and I will argue with you. Others will too. We don't need it. Why debate real life shit?

This is not a catch all forum. It's for retro gaming and other adjacent hobbies on the side.

I will come, and I will argue with you. Others will follow. We don't need it. Why debate real life shit?

That's what moderation is for. If you're announcing you intend to start trouble, that's on you when you get hooked.

But we're just having an adult discussion? What you're asking for sounds like an echo chamber and that's impossible to have here. An argument doesn't mean I'm calling you slurs and wishing you harm. Neither is good for the forum.

So now it's expanding out from "I just want to talk about gaming" to include adjacent hobbies?

Gaming. Music. Media.

Okay. Can we clear this up?

I'm not asking for anything. I never did. I replied to the OP, who threw in the towel rather than clarify what they meant with their incredibly ambiguous request.

If you're purposely seeking out arguments, you're a problem on a forum. It doesn't matter the topic.

There's a food section. There's a general discussion area. Oh my goodness, we've gone off the rails

We're having a discussion on directions for the forum to take? I've just been replying to things going on.

Heh, things have already gotten heated and we haven't even brought any other bullshit into the mix. You see what I'm saying?

 

[bjork]

We're having a discussion on directions for the forum to take? I've just been replying to things going on.

And you've said more than once that I've asked for something, which I didn't. I just don't get the gigantic "oh no what about my hobbies" reaction to the suggestion for a section that discusses something other than, given that no one is making anyone go there. If it were added, you could just ignore it. Really pretty simple.

So what are we arguing about?

You know, I guess you did. Because I'm tired of going in circles with you. Congratulations

 

[PacGuy]

If it were added, and everyone starts talking about shit I disagree with I'm going to input my thoughts. That's what a forum is about. Why invite that kind of discourse? I won't be the only one. We're all divided by ideology and country

If you don't care about it, why would you be therrrrrrrrrrre holy shit man

What if I do care and I disagree with the point? Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion. I'm sure our political ideas differ. Why dive into it? Let's just bond over video games

"I don't need a section there for real world stuff, I don't want to talk about it"
:real world section is added for whatever topic:
"I need to go in this section I don't want to talk about and then talk about it."

It doesn't make sense. There are already areas here you don't look at. It's no different. It's no different!

Anyway, I have to go to bed now for real. Please don't reply. I'm going to follow my own example and not look at this thread after this, just to show you that it is indeed possible for something to exist on the internet without looking at it.

I already replied. I disagree, good sir! A DUEL AT NOON!

This serves no real purpose and has has only led to derailment, so it's being preemptively closed pending further mod review.
