all that superfluous clicking because on the very first day it's a little jumbled looking?

it only looks messy at the moment because i've literally just dumped everything from the sub-sections into the common room as a whole. over time, less active threads won't be seen from the main page, and you'll have your regular common room faire towards the top.

fair enough about the different sections, i did prefer it before but obviously it's not detrimental to my life if a forum looks a bit cluttered to me

it just makes a lot more sense. different things get grouped together, it seems obvious. little thing: can the wolf pack be moved to the bottom of the section? i like the new arrangement otherwise.

Sibz is wrong again (she's on a roll today KISS KISS LOVE YOU DARLING etc) the whole point of merging them together is because no one bothered with the general interest threads in the subforums, so grouping it all together means more traffic for those threads thanks to their more central placing in the forum, and more traffic in general for the common room... which IS about general discussion ie music/tv/films among other stuff. I say the fewer forums the better, cut the fat, streamline.
We could argue all day about such things. I think at a point I line has to be drawn and we stick with what we have.
I think a lot of the disapproval that has come (and might come) is just like the tizzies people have when Facebook changes in totally insignificant ways PEOPLE DON'T LIKE CHANGE.

AH! AH! AH! AH! AHHH! Oh god it's all changed holy cripes! It's insane how much this has unsettled me. This will ruin my wolfboard (I enjoy the change in screen-thing for wolfboard, btw) routine! I feel like doing groaning like Christopher in Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time.
I haven't seen all the changes yet, but I suppose this was inevitable. Do we still have megathreads?? Btw I wholeheartedly accept my role as Wolf Pack mod. But what do I DO as a mod? I'm not gonna be great at being authorative if there's fights on my turf. WAT DO?
eta: SCREAM, now it's all blue and background change!! OH GOD OH GOD

i can't help but detect some anti-american sentiment behind the 2010 moderator selection process. disgraceful. also, for everyone who picked option three, but would still like to feel like a winner, the entirety of the option read as 'omedy cay ption oay aka yea.' obviously the work of someone inspired by the backdoor tactics employed the other day in congress when his partisan-out-of-necessity and yearlong goal occurred 'behind closed doors' and 'all of a sudden.' i like being topical.

basically, rhi... all you have to do is make sure all the threads in your section are relevant to that section, delete or move any threads which aren't, and keep people on-topic. if there's any conflict i have faith that you'll be able to handle it and if not, i'm still around and so is everyone else, so it'll be sorted before long. i'm glad you accept!

If you get in any trouble Florence and I shall come over from our patch and help you Rhi.
I'm going to pretend we're some sort of buddy cop duo, perhaps from a show called Prior Convictions?
The mega threads are over in the community room Rhi.

When the Megathreads get so big they need their own mod, i'd be up for that job! Prior Convictions for the Wynne! Sounds brilliant. Thanks!

The Common Room does look super messy right now, but it's messy in an exciting, oh-my-god-there's-actually-lots-of-interesting-threads sort of way. And like Jay said, it'll sort itself out in a couple of days. a show called Prior Convictions? You should write it!

i spotted a few cool looking threads while i was moving everything over, actually... i think in this instance replying to old threads would be a boon rather than a bad thing, so i recommend to everyone - if you see a thread you like the look of, even if it's old, reply to it!

Yes! A whole front page of actual threads about... THINGS. Wow, content is way more important than layout/tidiness in my book.

Rosie I dare you to make a new thread. It's a mission, indeed. As soon as I have something remotely interesting {or not} to say, I shall!

[...] a 'creative room' [...] who wants to mod that? i was thinking about you as a mod as well for that section. if you're up for it, it'll all be put into place tonight. I thought my reply on that would have been a yes for being mod on creativity room. did I get it wrong? It's no problem when Anna does it but I just wanted to check that again. Also, I really like the new structure!

I love the green font on the new layout. Especially how it coordinates with my mod stars, Cassie's dress and the foliage behind her.
