that because the forum isn't exactly going through one of it's productive stages at the moment, people won't object to me shifting things around a bit.
What is going on with the Common Room lately!? I'm almost ashamed to be modding it. It's a wasteland, because everyone is over in the Community Room discussing things.
Just to reiterate to people:
It's not "Common Room for boring threads" and "Community Room for fun threads"
The Common Room is the place for all general discussion threads, and the Community Room was created to house all the mega threads, flippant polls, and more chatty and personal threads, like birthday threads, and threads about Last.fm and Josh's cock.
The 'Pets' and 'Textures' threads, while not condusive to the most serious discussions ever, should still be moved into here (please, Annabel, Michael?). They're general discussion. Also, the fit boys and girls threads? They are essentially photographs and commentry/ discussion about celebrities. I don't see how it fits better in the Community Room. It would be nice if the Girl/boy trouble thread was in here, too, as proper discussions often flourish in that. But certainly the 'Clothing you want' and 'The Work Thread' should be over in the Common Room. They're general discussion!
I know it says in the Common Room description that it's for threads about film, tv etc, but I am reaaaally tempted to move the "State what you're reading/listening to/film you're watching/gigs" megathreads into Community. Specific threads about a tv series or band can be made (and stay) in the Common Room, as they actually generate general discussion.
So yes, if the Rooms look a bit different, it's because things have been jigged around.
Haha.
