Can the mods stop changing the name of the Conversation Forum threads?

I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but when the name changes every time I log in, it can get very annoying when I see a thread title that looks like it could be an entertaining read, but it winds up being the convo thread. I mean “Crickey!”, despite the incorrect spelling, could be anything…

If mods would leave the thread title as “December 2005” it wouldn’t be as confusing and it wouldn’t look as messy.
 
Or get someone that can at least come up with good ones.

I'd still like it to be "I'm James Brown *****"
 
Dude, calm down. Thats sort of the point of the conversation thread. Its layed back, meaningness rubish. Its the one spot GTP is allowed to be not so organized.

Don't be so lazy, take a second and read, and move on if you want no part.
 
You don't have to worry about it. Jordan took it off the New Posts list. So you won't have to be "bothered" by it anymore.

Yes, but I don’t see why the name can’t be left as something that identifies it as the Convo thread.

Lazy… How so? It often appeares as the first thread in the Rumble Strip in the forums index and it isn’t identified, in any way, as the convo thread. Am I lazy becsuse I use the forum index to navigate at times?
 
Isn’t the New Posts link much more convenient? :confused:

Not my thing – I basically use the User CP and my subscribed forums and threads, as well as the forum index.

So how are you mistaking the titles for something other then the Convo threads? They are in a sub-forum to the Rumble Strip. So you'd HAVE to see that it's in the Coversation Forum...sub-forum.

Look at attachment. You can see the convo forum thread title from the forum index. It shows sub-fora as well.

And I’m not grumpy, Sage. :p

Why are we trying to make this site so serious? Its was developed because a video game? Why can't certain members have place where goofiness is aloud?

Why does the site have to be about one persons concerns? Why do members that enjoy something about the site have to change it because you don't want to see it next to the Rumble Strip's Title?
 
I want this changed also.

And does anyone even use the New Posts feature. I've only looked at it at most 5 times since I've been here.

You have your place where you can be goofy. I’m just asking that that place is shown for what it is, so those of us that want to avoid it can.

And you’re telling me to calm down! :lol:

There's a lot of good threads in the Rumble Strip, and when I see a thread-worthy title, I click on it. And then I go to Convo stuff. And it gets really annoying.

How about to please everyone, let's just move the whole Convo forum outside of the Rumble Strip. Like it could be below the Hobbies forum or whatever.

Agreed!

But then again, we're just seen and whingers who have nothing better to do then sit on a forum complaining :rolleyes:

But what you don't get is that the title was apart of the goofiness.

I just think you asking for that part of it to be taken away because you don't feel like clicking the rumble strip title and really finding out what thread is what is a stupid request.
 
I think if the mods just keep a prefix to whatever they want to put as the name it should be fine.

For example

CF:some kid next to me coughs like a blah blah blah
 
I agree! I don't like how the name is always changing. Who care's if the name is some odd creative word! Keep the name Dec. 2005 or the month and year. It is so much cleaner, and nicer!
 
I think a lot of you guys are complaining for a whole lot of nothing, lately...

I use it all of the time. When I first get on GTP I browse through my regular areas and then I usually use it to keep up with new replies. I wish it didn't have that 100 search results limit though, otherwise I'd just use that all the time.

I use it religiously. Mostly why I was a tad irked when he took it off the new posts list.

How about the recycle bin. In the new posts link, it shows the forum that the thread is in. Take an extra moment and read one more word. Or check the posts count.

To be truthful, it irritates me as well, but I live with.

And you're still whining.
 
My vote: Change the Conversation thread titles to "Post Whores R Us"
