As we have been discussing post quality and shitposting, a lot of the discussion starts with how the recent topics section looks. Right now, it is cluttered and a lot of useful threads get buried.
Since SG and HB both show up in the recent topics, I rarely move things because more people go off of the recent topics block than they do browse the specific forums. However, I suggest we remove the HB forum from showing up at all in the recent topics, much like bat country did not show up in the Zoklet recent topics.
I would start moving a lot more threads to HB, namely from SG and BLTC. However, HB still adheres to site-wide rules and would not simply be a trash can. Several threads might become NIMF'd. Furthermore, I haven't tested it, but we should never have a NIMF thread displayed in the recent topics section.
Thoughts?

I agree with this half baked is literally shitposting if people want higher quality threads the more in depth guides and such should be the focus

I think they should increase the amount of top posts. Or let us set them. Is that an option? I like having all the forums in personally, because then I get a good sampling of everything. It keeps shit from going all homo.

what about like a separate recent posts section in Half Baked its self that way you can see what's active there without having it dominate all the other low activity sub forums

What the fuck?! NO! Terrible idea... fuck your quality content. You can go to a University for that.
People want entertainment. Don't remove anything from recent posts. It's perfect how it is. Maybe even make it longer. Nobody scrolls down to Flasks and Beakers anyway. It's all about Hot Topics.
Terrible idea.....

I agree. I mostly only use the Top Posts feature, unless I'm really bored and go digging for turds.

Same here
Regardless, I could care less what does or doesn't show up.

Let's just change the whole format of the forum to nothing, but nudes of our moms.

If you click on the little newspaper or whatever it is next to the Recent Posts header, it will show you the 100 most recent posts.

you whiny fucks that think you have it so bad...try using a BBS from back in the days of dial-up internet service where the only way to navigate through unsorted topics was to scroll down hundreds and hundreds of posts that were christmas-treed
before you start complaining you should appreciate how good you have it

Yea, I walked 60 miles through the snow without shoes, sucking on a stone just to work 18 hours on the press for 5 cents a day.
GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

I actually agree with limiting HB more than limiting NIMF. What are the odds of a valid topic finding it's way to NIMF? What determines what belongs in NIMF? "Off topic" threads? Threads questioning forum staff? Are staff willing to move threads out of NIMF?
-
I'm not sure if saying NIMF amuses or annoys me.
EDIT: scratch that, it annoys me. NIMF.. ugh.
Proceed.

"Here at Sanctuary, sometimes a thread may be locked, but other times a mod might just not want the thread in their forum. When a thread is deemed to be wanted "Not-In-My-Forum," it will be moved here. Threads cannot be created in this forum, but will be moved here when they lack adequate content for any other forum."
I suppose a thread could potentially become worthy of a forum after becoming unworthy of a forum, but it's unlikely. I figure if a thread isn't even worth HB, then it fits my suggestion of not being worthy of the recent topics.

There is a forum with the description "Bitch, moan, flame, and complain." Please take this type of banter there.

Bitchmaid.

He will "agree" now but then he will spam up the whole place with gay shit 10 seconds later. This won't work out.

You are just pathetic. It's not fun anymore, you truly disgust me. Go play somewhere else.

I hope you're not thinking of moving the retarded thread from BLTC to HB. The backlash against that would be very bad. BLTC has its own very strong sub community vibe and while the retarded thread started off as a place to keep the shitposting contained its turned into an integral part of our community. HB has its own feel & sub community (what little of it remains...).
Otherwise, I tend to agree...SG &HB are right there in the top of the forum list and easy for anyone to look through. The specialty forums need more love.

plz don't take TRT away from BLTC plz don't

This mindset makes no sense and defies the logic everyone else spew out of the other side of their mouths. One thing most people agree with is that BLTC was a lot BETTER and more informative on Totse than on Zoklet. Yet Totse never had a retarded thread, and it didn't even come about on Zoklet until about halfway through its run. The whole reason the retarded thread came about was because a bunch of lazy spastic moderators didn't want to do their job and infract users (read: their buddies) that brought no substance to a discussion....instead just HB slobber and nonsense. So they took the lazy/easy man's way out and dumped bullshit posts into one portal, and never did a thing to improve the quality of that forum...as evidenced by the fact that several years later everyone STILL thinks Totse's version of BLTC was far and away much better quality.
If you have posters that so URGENTLY (your words) need to post HB drivel, why can't they do it in appropriate forums...because this "culture"(?) you speak of is a proven model of failure and not success, because all it does is inspire retardation in that forum as a whole, not adult informative discussion.

And here we are, right back to pretty much the same problem we were dealing with for the meth heads that used to be here.
Before we go any further though, everyone should know that they can block certain boards from showing up in the Recent Posts bar and the 'Show new posts' links next to the username on the top of the page.
Q: How can I set what topics show up in the 'Show unreal posts link/Recent Posts bar'?
A: Go to your Profile Summary. In that, next to Profile Info, there's a tab that's labeled, "Modify Profile". Hover your mouse over that and that will bring up a box. Then simply click on Ignore Boards Options. And there you go. Just select whatever boards you want to not show up in the Recent Posts bar and etc.
