CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Hi all,

I love CAA and all but sometimes I get quite annoyed when interesting and more relevant or informative threads go to the bottom of the heap unanswered while silly pointless threads like, "Ishuya needs a haircut" (or something) is raised to the top and many people answer them.
I realise there are many people on these forums with varied interests, skills and expertise but surely in a forum of 2,000+ there would be more good responses.

I'm not bashing CAA, but I wish some people would just think before they make a pointless post.

Thankyou.

True, there are a lot of threads I don't find particularily interesting or worth posting on, but such is the nature of a forum with such a diverse age group. Everyone's here to have fun and for some of them, it is talking about Inuyasha's hair cut. ...They really had a thread about that?

But it sounds like you know that already.
Be patient for the good threads.

I agree totally. So many good threads have tanked while comparitively stupid threads are at the top of the pile. (Sometimes Goof Off is just embarrassing.)

That's why you do not post serious threads in Goof Off. Also, some threads may be silly to you, but in other people's opinion, they could be 'more relavent or informative' as you put it.

I agree. That's why I frequent CAA;s boards less often cause they have gotten "less intresting". That and how the political atmosphere, I was busy debatin gpeople to death in other boards.

the point of goof off is to well umm to goof off the other are for more serious stuff.

Yeah, the threads where it's just an all out debate (aka brawl) are really annoying. You say something there and you're toast.

I know what you mean,but to do somethin' 'bout that you gotta post yourself. If you're so ticked off, start a campaign.

Since an "official administrative presence" is missing from this thread, it's probably a good idea to post now.

We are discussing some changes to the look/feel of CAA that touch on this very topic. Rest assured that your concerns are not going unheeded. In fact, you are sort of mirroring our own thoughts/feelings.

I seconed that motion Tintin. Nice going Phil.

Thanks Gandalf, your a top wizard!

Then don't go to it. Some of us like to go wild sometimes, and its a great, safe place to do so. It kind of sounds as though you (and a few others) are saying that those of us members who frequent the Goof Off sections are imbeciles, and embarass you. If you don't mean it that way, then, you have my pre-arranged apology, but, like I said, if you don't like something, ignore it.

No, no, no. You are not idiots but even Goof Off should have a high standard of Goof Offnessness. It should be Goof Off of high calibre. But yes, I do think many of the Goof Off posts are embarassing and not necessary.

It appears it is time for another administrative presence to manifest itself...

I would hope this thread does not become an argument between those who feel differently about Goof Off. Regardless of my own opinions, we certainly don't need any accusations from either side. At the moment everything is civil enough, but I believe in preventative action.

Glad to hear it. I think this topic has been pretty much covered, so I'm out.

Hmmm... If you feel there aren't enough interesting and relevant threads, then it's time to create some yourself. And post in the ones you find interesting. Not much else you can do, I guess.

...A .... Ugh, never mind, never mind... There really is not point in arguing about this. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions... But you know, maybe sometime, you can try coming in for awhile. Yes, you won't get any post counts, but that's the beauty of it. None of us in there thinks that we're posting because we want to raise our post count. It's just pure, mad fun. XD

Anyways.... *throws peace flowers at everyone* ^^

Uh, yes. Actually many of you people DO try to use the Goof Off to raise your post count, I wasn't born yesterday you know.

Anyway this thread needs to die.

....uh... How do we go about doing that, out if curiousity?

yes, please explain how we can raise our post count in the Goof Off section

You can't. The goof off forum (and I think the RPG forum too, but I could be wrong) is set not to add anything to your post count.

Ashley, I just posted at the RPG forum to see if the posts count - and they don't. ~_^

CHLOE MADE AN UNNECESSARY POST! Oh, the darkness of these evil days!

XDD *is afeared* O.O

I'm sorry, I didn't know this. Please forgive me. I did not want to create an argument.

tattletale...

Ahhh, I'm making another unnecessary post. Let's see, must get back on the subject of this thread... can't remember.

omg chloe, you have done the unspeakable! The false deity that is actually fake but we dont know and is worshiped and his name is somethingsomethingidontremember and he like to eat chicken and loves USB memory keys... uhhh anyway he will bring his ULTIMATE WRATH UPON YOU CHLOE!!!!!!!

*BAM, SWASH!!! CLING!!! BOOM*

here is your number 5 meal large, that will be $5.36

yes, i think people should be allowed to have those childish threads. There are 12 year old girls (not to be mean or anything ^_^) but they seem to have in interest in inuyasha's haircut and stuff ^_^

Oh, my gosh. First the unnecessary post and now false deities. I'm leaving now.

I think sooner or later everyone has to make a stupid thread, because we don't all have the same interests. What is a stupid thread to you might not be a stupid thread to me. I can imagine that the bishie thread looks stupid to alot of the guys, but that was voted CAA's favorite thread. It's all about how you look at it, I guess.

It may not be possible to increase your post count by posting in the Goof Off forum or in the RPG forums, but your post count will increase in the General forum. By complete coincidence, that's where this thread happens to be.

I think that this thread has outlived its usefulness at this point. The annoyance has been logged, and now we are devolving into bickering with the occasional unnecessary post. In the interest of keeping the goof off in the Goof Off (don't think about the semantics of that), I am closing this thread.
