/cyber/ - Cyberpunk & Science Fiction

I do agree to some extent that having a huge thread nobody new is going to read all the way through does stifle current discussion. Stuff like threads talking about certain technologies, where the older threads are significantly dated and the discussions in those have essentially ended (like the UMPC thread, other dupes of threads that are months old already).

On the other hand there is no reason to have multiple threads on the same thing that aren't focused on discussions, such as having multiple wallpaper/music threads or stuff like that. On the contrary, I would prefer that stuff to stick to one thread anyway.

I don't think dupe threads are being locked often enough to create a situation where people are afraid to post new threads though. I'd have to ask for examples of that.

Hrm. Maybe have one thread for wallpaper/music/etc, and then dupes of other threads are okay?

Then again, one of the examples that drove me to post this thread was the wallpaper thread that got locked because another, much older wallpaper thread was still in the catalog. There was still discussion and contribution going on in the old thread–which was kickstarted when the new one disappeared–but it was a lot slower and didn't have nearly as many actual wallpapers in it.

Maybe we just need to sticky the wallpaper/music threads, and let the rest of the board work more like an imageboard.

My policy is not to really care about the age of the thread. I don't like having a hard-and-fast rule about that sort of shit. If someone makes a dupe wall/music thread I guess I wouldn't be too bothered but personal preference would be to just keep bumping the old one.

On the other hand I would have to say that having more than a few stickies for the most necessary stuff (rules, meta and such) would not be a good idea.

I think that posting habits are going to be what changes, I would rather have that than a change to the actual rules.

So on that part I suppose I could agree that refusing to start new threads does slow down the board a bit. For example the guns thread is already on page 12, and that was a very active thread for a time… but I wouldn't mind if someone started a new one now.

I agree with you OP.

There should be a post limit, it would be fun to have different topics having different post limits, but then, that is what stickies, renewable threads are for.

I never liked the rule that limited only one thread per topic, the community should be the one deciding that with their activity. What if one non post first and another makes a better opening post with more activity latter? Honestly, this specific rule is very un-cyber and more fit to the megacorps we pretend to rebel from.

>the community should be the one

>refers to everything as "I"

WE did decide as a community to avoid having 10 threads shitposting about the same topic, if the [bottom] button is available big threads aren't an issue. Jesus you shazbots are all twelve.

You've made me depressed about the fact there will never be any more of that anime.

>OP asks for his opinion

>he writes it in first person

Seems English isn't your native language.

I do my traditional thing of posting bara into the thread so it gets closed.

>a huge thread nobody new is going to read all the way through
