It encourages laughter. If you guys don't want it, stay out of the topic, 'kay?

So you're trying to tell me this topic is a "friendly discussion of anything not related to GameMaker"?

These aren't attacks at members. It's indexing their actions which have inspired people to laugh.

This is a forum, we have conversation, we are allowed to talk about what we want to provided it does not upset anyone, and before you question it. On YYGF this topic never offended anyone, if you try to control people right to free speech people will have less fun, they will visit less frequently, and eventually not at all. If had a conversation with someone and every time the conversation went off topic a horn was sounded and I was interrupted, I would not be having much fun.

But then again I see your view, and I see that our disagreement is caused by a fundamental difference in the way we see the purpose of this forum.

Your view is that a forum is designed to HELP, provide a service and generally have a purpose. GMC is about that, it is DESIGNED for that, in fact, quite a lot of forums are built to do something.

My view is that a forum is for conversation, it is somewhere I go to to talk to people NOT to get advise etc. I believe that conversation should be served even if it means a stray of topic, EVEN if it is not the original purpose of the forum.

Neither of these views is right. Some people come to forums for help and to help and others to chat. Most people do a nit of both but everyone is somewhere on the scale.

What is great about the GMC is it is both at once, the general chat supports my views and people with them, pretty much every other topic is actually there for a reason and performs a service. We are both chatty and helpful, and that is what makes us strong.

Decreasing the required nomination amount. 3 nominations for a post and it will be added to the OP.

[Lawsome1997]

Nah, we don't need multiple nominations, the other Hall didn't have them.

This topic is closed. Anyone tries to make a topic like this again and they face a ban. The community is not here to judge when other members "fail" or not and it is certainly not for the community to laugh at them... I don't think that almost ANYONE who has posted in this topic is in a position to point fingers and say "You fail" for any reason, and I find it deplorable that you think this would be funny. People make mistakes, true, but they shouldn't be ridiculed for them.

You have been warned.
