WiiLoaded.com - Wii Forum and News

It had to be done guys.

Have you noticed how 50% of our posts are in that one thread?
(Random guess, if you thought I was right, then you should know we have a problem)

We discuss everyting in there.. because it has no topic. The topic changes every 2 pages, and you normally can't follow unless you stay in that thread alone. Which is exactly what most of the posters do.


Instead of helping the forum grow we're spending our time in that one thread.

When guests come, they stay away from that spam thread, cause that's what it is.
Most people are looking for discussion, and they can't find it. Cause it's all in LPTPHW, and it changes constantly.


Instead of LPTPHW, we're encouraging you guys to make seperate threads for seperate discussions. That way, when new members see our forums they see that we're actually discussing something, and not just spamming.
Nobody likes spam forums, and I'm sorry, but we're heading down that road.

If this becomes a spam/flame thread, it's being locked. Post why you think it should stay, and why it shouldn't.
By this I mean, expres your pain about it being gone, and realize that it was for the good of the site, and start making new threads! :p
And not just in OT.

I'm asking you guys to also, please post outside of OT.
If we continue like this, this forum could die.

Please don't try to revive LPTPHW, we'll lock it again. This is for the good of the site.

OMG CHARMANDER DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?

a frickin genius.... everything here's true. *thumbs up*


I will miss LPTPHW but it's for the good of the site, and we all love our WiiLoaded

It was part of our culture

I agree with you Char.

I remember when I first joined LPTPHW actually scared me a little. d: I couldn't catch on to what people were talking about, I found it weird. Eventually though, when I became someone that was buds with most of the regulars I joined in on the fun. But recently I've noticed how much of a bore, not to mention how quick posts occur. No one posts anywhere's if they are partaking in LPTPHW!

I think this is a great thing. That thread really is a menace. So I hope everyone starts posting outside of Off-Topia, and please, check out the reviews! We need feedback, it helps us reviewers because it shows that people give a shat! ^^

Good job D4rk, locking this was for the good of Wiiloaded!

Smart man you are Char! I guess this had to be done for the best of WiiLoaded. It is very true how the topic always changed and personally that is why I stopped posting in there. I could never follow it.

uh...

what char said

>_>

It scared me at first too. it seemed like one of those things a newbie couldnt "get in" on. plus cloud's sig dominated it

Sorry I made this without checking with you Dark >.<

If you find anything you wanna change, go ahead, or add too.

I as well, steered clear of the thread when I first joined, and olny posted in there a few times since, I just couldn't stand how, I couldn't post in there come back the next day, and still carry a convo...

I've just realised something.

LMX is going to love this news.

M@gic's gonna hate it.

LOL.

Maybe sticky this?
Before they become too rash and make a new thread >.>
(They = anyone that would be upset by this)


This is rather big news concerning OT.
That thread pretty much was OT...

not unless we get a surge of lptphw threads.

lol, pray to god that doesn't happen fellas.

HE'S A FRIGGIN GENIOUS!!
:O

):<

GRRRRR
RAWR!!
...
Oh well.
It was going to happen sometime.  

I kind of agree with Char... I'll miss LPTPHW though!! :'(

Hey, know you can venture out into the wild land that is the true Wiiloaded. Full of games and stuff. ENJOY! d:

Unlock it. Now.

OK, maybe there should be a limit or something imposed on it... but that thread was a work of art and anything you needed to say you could say it there. I just wish I could go back to that thread sometimes, there should be a limit of like 5 posts a day on it or 20 posts a week by each person or something like that.
It's a good idea to want people to explore deeper into WiiLoaded, but to take away that thread entirely?

I'm neutral here.

I see where you guys are coming from but will see where Cloud and M@gic will come from.

All I can say is this: Don't worry guys we still have a bunch of other threads still live in the OT section.

LPTPHW got to 20,000 posts.... thats pretty damn impressive, lets see if another OT thread can break that record.

No, theres no reason, there was completely NO reason to lock it, it was a thread where I can say anything, I want it Unlocked, there was no reason to lock it. Its a Thread. Its in the OT, you make any thread there, one thread exceeded the most, so you lock it? Complete BS.

I agree with Char! I think i only posted twice when the thread was young but then after that i could never follow the convos! And also since everybody was posting there i could almost never get alot of the members to post their ideas of threads that i made or even other threads!

So good on your part Char!

What Char is saying is that we need members to start posting outside OT in actual threads besides these spam ones.

In time we'll see a new LPTPHW thread, but not just yet.

Thats exactly the problem cloud. Eveything can be said there.

Instead of making multiple threads discussing each thing sepertly we squished it all together.

If we have multiple threads, we'll look more active, and more people will join in. It's not like we got rid of your ability to post.

How many people do you think would join a forum with one truly active thread?
