Quote from: Olimar12345 on November 30, 2017, 03:18:10 PMThis seems so... unimportant.. Those are supposed to be just for fun, not some super serious thing that gets regular attention. I'd rather we focus on site updates that include sheets rather than those.

"Regular attention" -- this can be updated occasionally, right? It wouldn't take a lot of effort to maintain it, and it doesn't have to occur on a regular basis. Take our site updates, for example. We haven't had a regular update since the 25th of September, yet we still, somehow, had time for a Metroid 1-3 update, and a 39-sheet sheet Halloween update which many had no knowledge of until it was posted. It's just how we manage our time on what we, quote, "focus on". I mean, fun things can become stale so easily, but like Dudeman said, there could be over a week between times someone has to add some recent stuff and throw away yesterday's news. It doesn't sound hard.

I agree with Olimar that it's not important enough to spend a lot of time on. It's a throwaway feature in the corner of the forums.

Then, in that case, if no one is going to bother to maintain it, I for one say we get rid of it. It was mostly likely started with the someone's intent of regularly updating it anyway. Like Seb said, it makes the site look dead, and if you ask me, no one's really going to miss it. Bubbles probably won't

...it's just a news bulletin Levi. There's really no reason to get so worked up about this.

Dudeman

I don't think anyone "started" it, it's just part of the SMF package that the forums run on. And if someone intended to update it regularly, then they'd still be updating it regularly. Point is it's something we have, somebody said "fuck it, let's put some stuff in here" and we just kept it around. Nothing about it makes the SITE look dead because it's not on the site. Again, it's in the corner of the forums that not a lot of people know exist. Heck, somebody PM'd me the other day asking if I had a copy of a sheet that's dead in my PAT because they'd been waiting for it for YEARS and had no idea that the forums existed until just now. We can scrap it but there's really just as much point in scrapping it as keeping it around and sticking new/updated stuff in it every six months.


Ninja'd, Yug's right. There's something odd about how much attention you're giving this, Levi.

^I'd pay to see what you'd come up with.

Quote from: mastersuperfan on November 30, 2017, 03:49:55 PMpretty sure Levi is referring to the people who show up looking for the National Socialist Movement group

If he is then he is ill-informed. The "NSM FORUMS" forum title was what was doing it, and that has since been changed to "NinSheetMusic Forums."

Um, wtf? I have never kicked someone immediately. The only time I kick people are if they are dead accounts or duplicates, and in those cases I always ask first. Here was the last time:

This I don't get. You do realize that the special updates are in lieu of submission updates, right? I mean we don't just get more hours in the day during these times. It's not a permanent thing, either. Occasionally we do focus updates instead of submission updates.

I partly take the blame for this since I get excited about updates that are out of the norm. I'm sorry that we haven't been focusing on submissions updates recently, but we plan on returning to submissions as soon as possible.

Wait, I thought msf was joking. I just figured he meant any trolls looking for a server to invade.

I'm terribly sorry, there has been a big misunderstanding. My apologies, Olimar. I'm either thinking of that one time someone joined and immediately left, or something that happened on the Kirby Wiki server. There's a Pikmin-based username there, too.

I didn't intend to look "worked up" about this. I just saw this as a casual, healthy debate where no one's getting upset; I intended to discuss the significance of the News and why no one wants to get rid of it. I'll admit that seeing the same messages over and over got on my nerves for a while, but now I've just gotten used to it. I wish not to anger anyone during these debates; that's never been a goal of mine.

If you guys want to keep it, that's entirely fine with me. Nostalgia is something special, especially on NSM, but whatever the reason is, I won't argue against it anymore. I hope we can leave this resolved with no ill feelings.

I wouldn't mind assigning someone to update the news every so often, insinuating that Deku wasn't joking.



Dudeman

Given that the entire thing is struck through, I'd assume he was joking.
