GivenToFly Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 They kind of suck in my opinion. There's just nothing to differentiate them from the main sections (except fewer people to reply to threads). There was a promising feature regarding the less moderation thing but ultimately if you still enforce the no personal attacks rule and no talking about banned members rule you just get a whole bunch of nothing. So ultimately what's the point of having a separate section if there's nothing to set it apart?And they're generally pretty dead. Just didn't catch on, I suppose.Opinions?

Dazey Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Dunno to be honest. When you use the new content button there pretty much are no sections anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I seem to remember there wasn't much traffic in the original Attitude section by the time it was closed down but a number of people wanted it back. I suspect some of those members probably enjoyed complaining about it being shutdown more than they do actually posting in it. ;-) Other factors probably include, banning or disappearance of FM who were most likely to post there. Stricter moderation across the board in general. Nothing much is happening in GnR land generally.If another tour starts up or Axl announces a reunion/sex change/running for president then I imagine those sections along with D&N will perk up considerably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Interesting.I thought they've been well received I think they have, things are just so quiet re Guns at the moment the pace of the forum in general has slowed down. The supporter sections are just symptomatic of that. Doesn't mean it wasn't worth doing. :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience 4 Axl Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't miss the old Attitude. It was too extreme even for me. Lots of talk about fucking other peoples mothers and eating bowls of shit. I agree there isn't a lot going on in the new section but I wouldn't want to see it close. It has potential. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 As I've said before, I am not a fan of segregating the forum this way. I don't think it is wise on the long-term. I consider it a cheap way of getting donations . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I don't really see the topics in there as controversial. Many can be discussed in AG and the GNR section is basically a DJ bashing Slash-wankathon.

Even for YOU? What? "She's so mean, but I don't care. I love her eyes and her wild, wild hair!" That's your theme song now! You're stuck with it! You really do like me. You just don't know it yet.

downzy Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The problem with allowing personal insults and attacks to take place in the supporter sections is that they spill over into other sections of the forum. Too many times did we see one poster personally attacking another, which then continued in other parts of the forum. Ideally, if people could keep their pissing matches relegated to the supporter sections we wouldn't have this problem, but so far, that hasn't been the case.

Satanisk_Slakt Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Insults aren't really necessary either way. I'm not sure how many people appreciate to donate money just to get access to a section where they will be called cunt as I saw someone did earlier today. It doesn't exactly add anything to the forum. It's not that awful to have to abstain from calling other people names even if you've donated money. Maybe that's just me though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
