Also, I'm not a huge fan of Katsu's "all in one" thread for anything Facebook related as it defeats the purpose of the board and fucks up the chronological ordering. Posts should be given their own thread almost always, unless it's the same sort of post on the same day.

Katsu's "All in one" Facebook thread only applies to Chris's latest theme of begging people to buy his comics. I found it rather redundant to have update after update of essentially the same thing, so I grouped any begging FB posts into one thread with the intention that newer posts along that theme would change the date in the title.

I mean I guess it works and I empathize with the idea. I didn't bullet point it because it's something I can live with. Having random discussion-esque thread titles with different dating systems for each is something I can't deal with bcuz autism
 
Every single Twitter update on Operation Tupacalypse doesn't get it's own thread. Instead it only has one thread.

So it actually makes sense that all of Chris's posts about this eBay/money trouble mini-saga get clumped together. It's the same idea. Although I do think if they get bunched together like that then it should at the very least be stickied for easy access.

yeah that's a fair enough point but you also need to consider that the Jace forum does not have a dedicated update forum. if he did it may be worth the space.
 
Thanks for the new guidelines. They made it easier to search for any Chris update without any confusion. :3
 
^ VIPs can also post things - Marvin, Skyraider, Thetian.

But the point is that all of those people have access to it and aren't doing it. None of the people with permission give a fuck. The point of only allowing established members to post was to stop shitposting, but currently the update thread is pointless because nobody posts.

I think there's a better way, maybe. Open thread making to everyone and the moderation queue will sort it (i.e. they can make a thread but it won't instantly show up, like the posts atm). Mods will still have to review the threads going in there, but some sperg will do it.

Keeping it locked down is stupid. Say you don't have time to update it katsu, who's gonna do it? Compy? DeagleDad? Champ? Brook? They should but theyre not gonna.

None of them care and none of them are spergy enough to rig a Chris update thread.

Also I didn't forget the Mighty Surtur, I doubt he'd do it either but I don't want to say 100%

Give Mel permission to start threads in Update Forum plz. And @Alan Pardew as he updates the CWCki a lot.
 
I stopped using The update forum because the real news always landed in discussion first. Sometimes it was days before the content landed in Update, if even then. OTOH, I liked the idea. If I had information about a new development, I would post in Update, and if I was requesting specific information about a new development, I also posted that in Update. If I wanted to comment on Chris's love of penis... That went into Discussion.

Having two forums was weird, I agree, but it did give me a place to go for instant facts with zero sperging, and I did appreciate that.
 
I stopped updating the forum and nobody cared enough to do it without me. There's no DeagleDad for Chris who cares enough about both the subject and the community to try and keep the Update board up to date.
