Here I was, sitting at work and I just hit the big time! I just won a free Crunchie bar! It says so inside the wrapper! WOOHOO!

Does anyone else have Crunchie bars or is it just Aussie/NZ? They are YUMMY.

    Why are you posting useless posts today?
    Keep the board clear for more useful discussions!

    See that word "miscellaneous"? And you don't need to read 'em... try lightening up once in a while... sheesh.

    So, should I fill up the "miscellaneous" section with news about how the bees like my tomato plants?

    ...or the weekend events for Guild Wars?
    ...or my Android games?
    ...or status updates on when I clip my toenails?

    When looking at new posts on the main forum page, I don't see that a thread is in the "miscellaneous" section. I only see the headline. So, if the miscellaneous section becomes just noise, those threads will be bumped off the main forum page. (I rarely look at the "New Features" request area, as those threads don't appear on the main forum page.)

    That means when people actually have useful miscellaneous posts, people may not get to see it because you wanted to discuss candy bars.

    Wow, you just wasted a lot of your own time writing that and you're blaming me. You're right though, I am sorry... instead, I'll change this thread to something useful...

    ...we'll discuss my new game, "Photics, man in beige". It's really boring and nothing happens in it...

    It's not a waste of time, it's protecting a community. Haven't you read posts from synthesis, how "Pro" GameSalad game developers need a better forum because it's a lot of noise?

    I don't like noise and I don't like seeing a community fragment. So because you're having fun, you're weakening the usefulness of the forum. Now you can be hedonistic, or you can open your mind and see the real value of your nonsensical posts.

    If you have nothing better to do, here a link to some videos for you to watch...

    Good game concept though. I think a gray-scale game could be fun. The reduced color palette would lead to smaller png files... which means better game performance. Although, your theme could lead to character defamation lawsuits, so you might want to change that up.

    Wow, I'm even more bored than I was before, when I was starting a thread on chocolate.

    I have the freedom to debate you... funny how that works both ways. However, GameSalad runs this forum. While you're free to have an opinion, that doesn't mean you get to share it with everyone... every moment of their lives... in every format known in existence. I do not think the intention of the "Miscellaneous" forum is for so much randomness. I think one silly post every now and then is OK, but too much will drag down the community. I suspect that if the "Miscellaneous" forum becomes nothing but idle chatter, it will be downgraded. Is that really the cause you want to champion?

    If you're bored, why don't you make some games? Are you having like writer's block or something? Is there a technical issue bothering you?

    Heh... anyway, I've made my point. I should be doing something more productive. Maybe you should too!
  • AfterBurnettAfterBurnett Member Posts: 3,474
    Not quite sure my little chocolate post will affect everyone, everywhere in the world, ever...

    Do something productive? Me? And miss our little chats? :-P Okay, I would if I had an Intel Mac here... Grrrr.

    And yes, Gamesalad runs this forum. GAME SALAD. Not you ;-)

    Oh, so that's what it is. I was wondering why you were so chatty this morning.

    If you have Internet access, why not use something like VNC? The server is built-in to Snow Leopard. So, you'd just need the viewer and there are plenty of those around. Although, I stopped using it though. It seemed like a security risk, as I wasn't able to make a secure connection.
  • AfterBurnettAfterBurnett Member Posts: 3,474
    What's VNC? I am on a *cough* Windoze system here at work. It's very quiet on the Graveyard shift!
  • AfterBurnettAfterBurnett Member Posts: 3,474
    Wow! That looks cool! I'd not seen that! SO I could leave my Mac Mini at home connected to the net and tap into it from my PC at work to use Gamesalad? If that is possible, that is amazing!

    @Photics: beware! I was banned and became the #1 enemy of the board after I tried to explaine, how people should use the forums properly for development and not for daily chit-chat.

    Since then I don't visit the board withouth serious reason.
  • reddotincreddotinc Member Posts: 653
    I think that maybe only certain sections should be shown on the front page
  • vegasmike1vegasmike1 Member Posts: 192
    That was great. or is great,. rock on babblers or is that babble on....sheez, I got a guy who drives around the complex seeing if anyone has an open garage door, I think I will grind up a pc and stuff it in his gas tank. Rules rules rules, rules suck, the only real rule is do your thing, make a good game and when you can help, help. Now where is that box of crunchie bars, hmm game, crunchie bars........mmmmm good.

    Come on /facepalm

    You want to just view one section, you click into it. It's ONE extra click. You don't even have to scroll down - they're all at the top of the page!

    Frankly I am a big supporter of chit chat in misc - it's how those of us who want to get to know each other better and even become friends; I like how it makes this feel even more like a community.

    Plus, I personally LOVE Crunchie bars :)
