Not sure I even understand how a sticky for turbo games would be good?

The problem stems from people signing up for games and then not outing when they dont want to play anymore, causing confusion and typically leading to a new sign up thread being started.

How would a sticky solve that issue?

you are obv reacting to that

how about you take kioshk's advice and push for a werewoof sub forum

i have never found a problem with too many sign-up threads

like my sign-up thread i made today

it failed so i locked it

it falls to the bottom of the barrel

you are trying to fix something that isn't broken

it wouldn't just because you sticky a perma turbo sign-up thread

doesn't make it different than the other perma turbo sign-up thread

what threads are missing out on the action because turbo sign-up threads get posted and drop pages

you should be happy there are 17 turbo sign-ups in 2 days

that just shows there is a lot of interest and activity

nobody is making turbo sign-ups to cause problems

but you are making a problem out of this

ya but a sticky would always be the top thread in POG so if people got used to it then it could become standard, just asking to see what people think and i don't think it would take much effort to get it to work

for instance kruze/gambit could write up a really nice OP with all the standard turbo rules and instructions for how tatiana tiger works, it would be good for newcomers and then all the turbomonkeys could have their own signup/pub thread without covering up half the forum with their threads

I think all games would lose players with different forums. I mean ww, sheep, mspaint, walrus etc.

i mean turbo signup threads fall to the bottom on their own

how many are on page 2 isnt a great measurement since there are more ww games than sheeps or other games

and the popular other games stick on the first page by themselves

im struggling to see how this is an issue, but im willing to brainstorm and help try and solve it if needed.

if this were to happen (and its something id be down to try again), i think it should just be for signing up and out'ing turbos. fluffing in a thread thats continuous makes it hella hard to figure out who is actually in.

honestly i wish there was a mod that was more active in turbos, but thats another discussion.

ya i saw his complaing i checked it out, just like i do for every single one of you people that complains about something which, i'll have you know, happens all the time

and he has a point, 17 signups on the first 2 pages of the forum is way too many and you guys could easily sort it out between you but ofc your first reaction is to spazz out about it for no good reason becasuse?

because why exactly?

Main problem is IMO these lame titles where some idiots call themselves goats or post some lol xx or xxx woat and stuff like this and we have like 5 threads with idiotic titles that scares normal people away. Just ban these 3ers and idiotic stuff like this. You can play these in skype or w/e.

I will try it again to since why the hell not but I dont see how it will change the actual problem of people trying to get a turbot to run, it taking a while to fill, people deciding not to play anymore but not outing

obv

why are you pairing me in with anyone?

If I wanted to complain about something I would just do it on skype with you instead of making a big issue in the forum

the worst part about a dedicated standard bland turbo sign-up thread

is it is a standard bland turbo sign-up

the best part is seeing someone make like

REDDBOILER GOAT TURBO SIGN-UP or HAPPY BIRTHDAY MCAVOY TURBO SIGNUP

and proceeding to get players that way

it brings in different types of players at diff times and the excitement, intent and flavor of the game is right out there in your face

it just is more customizable instead of

ok today i will again try to get turbo game number 345 started on page number 500 lets see how many robots will join

As a new player to the forums, I will say it's hard to find things with all the turbo threads. They seem to take over the front page and the threads I am interested in get lost. Maybe I just don't know my around yet, but if I didn't care to put an effort in sticking around, it'd be something that would push me away.

I'm currently finding it hard to find normal WW games to sign up for/read.

once you start playing turbos

you won't be able to find the turbo sign-up threads because you will be surrounded by real ww games/sheep/walrus/others

and will be like where all the turbo threads

i can't remember if people that start threads can delete them or not, if they can then it would be cool if they did that for signup threads

i guess the best solution is to green me and put me on sign-up thread patrol

How many turbos happen at a time?

On the other site I play, we have a single thread that we organize the "turbo" games (same thing, I think; we don't call them that). See who's around, gather a signup list. Then when there's a roster, we redirect to a new thread. Otherwise we end up with extra threads lying around. But we only ever have one game going on a time. No more than 10 people interested in playing at a single time. So seeing who is around in one thread isn't a big deal.

It's not a big deal to me; I'll deal just fine. Just sharing how I'm viewing the forum at the moment. Didn't know if a newbie perspective would be interesting, so I'm offering it up in case.

One turbo runs at a time. Usually we will have like

Turbo #1 Sign-up

game runs

Turbo #2 Sign-up

game runs

Turbo #3 Sign-up

game runs

everything runs its course and falls in time

there isn't anything after page 2 worth clicking anyways because it usually isn't active unless you just go look for threads you like i dunno


the good threads bump themselves

the bad/stagnant threads fall

the circle of life

i just don't see the big deal

i haven't felt like i have missed out on anything because there are turbo sign-up threads and i spent way too much time here as it is

fu kioshk for starting all this ****
