Hermione Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 GDC is not like any other forum. Some may share similar elements, but the way GDC runs is a whole unique way of its own. A unique and superior way . If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thank you guys for the opinions. Honestly, it makes me happy to see people sharing their thoughts and giving their input. For those of you that don't remember what happened when we split them up, both forums pretty much died. Not just the Green Day one (though it was even more painfully boring). The General forum also slowed down a lot with only a few active topics in a day (i really mean only 4 or 5 threads were posted in, and not much). My conclusion then was similar to what justcause mentioned earlier. It's sort of like a one-stop shop, you go to one main forum to everything. When important Green Day stuff gets posted it's on the front page and stays there. But it also allows people who aren't neccesarily looking for Green Day news to remain a part of the site, they'll stop by the threads (not all of them leave smart ass remarks). The General forum here has always been a major part of the forum. Some sites that are focused on individual topics often look to the General chat as the secondary place (as some are suggesting it should be), and that does work for some places. I think the mixture of both types of threads in one place help keep things moving along and keep people entertained. The people who come from Green Day stuff will find both, and the people who don't come for Green Day stuff will find the stuff they want and still come across Green Day info they're interested in from time to time.

eyes don't lie Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I think it would be cool to split the GD and general chat cus I would be able to find the Green day stuff quicker. I love it on GDC but have less time to visit now cus I have gone full time at work. If the two are split people can get to which area they would like to visit much quicker. Hopefully we all still love Green Day on here and I understand that people would like to get together and chat about all sorts of things but some people may just want to go on the Green day chat bits and if they are new to us may find it hard to find the threads that they want. Lets face it were all about Green Day right?Hope you are all well and happy, I've missed you loads. I feel that I made some really cool friends during the tubbies tour on the tubbies threads that people made. Missing you and loving you all.xxxxxxxxjulie.

Dai. Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Absolutely not. Not now. Maybe you could give it a try once there's some real Green Day news, but I still think things are fine the way they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon mitchell Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 This is the only forum I go on that actually has everything in together. A split would make it so much easier to find specific band topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think because you have more posts that your opinion is more important? Maybe she is only here for the green day topics and hasnt felt the urge to post because its been dead.

Michelle7107 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 It was split before, wasn't it?I remember it sucking, so I voted no. We haven't had much Green Day news anyway, and when there is news, it's usually always in the first page or stickied, so I see no point in seperating.

Maybe she is only here for the green day topics and hasnt felt the urge to post because its been dead.alright alright beth i know i sounded like an ass. and Postcount has never been important to me. i was just stating that she hasn't exactly been hanging around on the actual forum to really decide what would work better. then again i may be wrong. who knows? but i was sincere with my congratulation, heck knows it took me a good amount of guts to make my first. especially on a contoversial thread like this.

Hermione Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Haha, I hung around on the forum for like 3 months before I posted, I still knew what was going on. I just didn't feel the need to, I only wanted Green Day info. I'm sure there's plenty of other people who do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excalibur Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Wow the voting is very close. I hope Andres takes into account the people who actually want it split up i.e the Green Day fans . Not just take sides with the internet addicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
