    FWIW, file me under "Could Not Possibly Care Any Less".

    I look at both the Ejections and OiLF forums, anyway, so I don't much care about the hair-splitting of exactly what thread ends up where. There's so much other chaos going on in my home (and I tend to bounce "in and out" of the forum throughout the day), frankly, I never know what the heck forum I'm browsing, most of the time, anyway. I'm just reading whatever catches my eye, wherever it happens to "live".

    If a thread gets moved, I doubt I'd even notice were it not for the "thread moved" message. When I do return to a relocated thread, the extent of my reaction is, "oh, there it is", and that's about it. Barring it getting flat-out deleted, if it's in the forum somewhere, I'll find it. Big deal.

    Should one of my threads ever be moved to the "trash heap" of OiLF: whatever. I wouldn't b!tch and moan, be offended, fire off a blizzard of angry PMs to HGM or Ohms, or take it as some sort of "demotion" by the forum grown-ups.

    Tempest in a teacup. Let's not fabricate elective aggravation where none need exist... Sheesh.

    I, for one, look at ejections much less now. Seems like the restriction on what makes ejections over oilf is how boring the thread is

    I kept them in there when I went through and moved all the threads I thought belonged in OILF, and since they weren't at the top of the forum, ohms didn't move them (as he would if he saw them), but I've moved them before once they got bumped.

    Re: Talk to the Moderators

    Ok, I would like to ask that you stop moving stuff THAT IS NOT ABOUT ROLE PLAYING GAMES to the role playing games forum! You guys moves basically anything related to video games other than mogul or baseball mogul to it and sports games. Almost none of the threads that wind up in role playing games ARE ACTUALLY ABOUT ROLE PLAYING GAMES! I have spreken

    I would (and have) suggest merging those two forums and renaming it "Computer and Video Games" and moving it up with Ejections/OILF...but that's something for Dee, not the mods.

    Ok. But for now wouldn't it make sense to keep the non-role playing games threads in OiLF, where they will get some attention? One thread I would like to be there would be the one Lilbman started, which would help find each others on the PS3 Online. I see no reason that can't be in OiLF

    I moved the three previous posts here. Please keep threads on topic.
    Thank you.

    It was on topic, that thread was a talk to the mods thread, so I was speaking t the mods. Apparently that is too off topic....

    I definitely agree with that idea.

    Re: Stop moving everything to OiLF...

    me too, and I have for a long time now. Seeing as how it's the new year and all, I think that it's time to get up off my ass and email Dee about it.


    Would anyone mind if I asked her to make OiLF a sub-forum of Ejections, rather then it's own forum next to ejections, as well? It would look the same as the Baseball Mogul: Bug Reports & Fixed Bugs forums do, now.

    Not at all.

    Might as well ask for new descriptions for the forums as well...It seems as though Ejections is "Politics/News/Religion/Current Events", the Video/Computer Games forum is obvious, and OILF is "everything else."

    Well, if OiLF is made into a sub-forum then I'm almost certain that a description won't show anyway...

    It does. Look at Bug Reports.

    One thing I noticed though, which is different from the other forum that I post on, is that the subforums aren't shown on the main forum page...Look here to see what I mean. There may be an option for Dee to flick on somewhere for that, though.
