I just feel like venting about this... Please take the time to read it and let me know if you agree or disagree. Civil responses only please
I've seen so many people say stuff like similar to this thread title, and I personally think it's getting ridiculous. This is one bandwagon that just doesn't make sense to me. No one ever complained about this before... "OMG another 1.5 thread???" No, of course not, because there are MANY things to discuss about it. Trying to restrict everyone to having 1 or 2 threads devoted to the 2.1 update is just absurd. Using the same thought process that these types posts portray, then the Eris forum should've just been it's own single thread to begin with, amirite?
People create new threads to ask questions, discuss certain topics, etc, and the 2.1 update is a VERY BROAD topic. Trying to navigate the hundreds of pages in those threads is just absurd.
I personally LIKE when threads are about a single topic. It makes the forums much easier to navigate, especially for people who don't live and breathe this site. Especially when people include 2.1 in their topic, it makes it very easy to pick out interesting threads. I come on every now and then to read some stuff, and those ridiculously long threads are just completely useless to me. The topics change so often and there are so many useless posts that it's nearly impossible to find anything meaningful without spending hours wading through all of the crap. Yes, "use the search" will be touted by many, but what if I don't know what I'm searching for? I often just scroll through the thread titles and come across an interesting topic that I might not have thought of before. This can't happen within a single 2.1 thread, because there is nothing to separate the topics of discussion.
Now, if 2.1 were its own sub-forum (like root), that might be helpful... but the people who bash people for not posting in the giant 2.1 threads are just not being helpful at all, and just come across as arrogant know-it-alls.
Thanks for reading. Thoughts/comments?
