silvermanblue Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have a idea for a new topic in general chat an I wanted to test the waters first. How about a birthday topic. you know just post the names of members having birthdays and than the congrats afterwards? I think it would result in a lot less spam topics in general chat. I don't know just a thought. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/267495-got-a-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFF Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I like the way it is. I just has a birthday, and it is nice to see someone take notice and make a topic for you. They don't stick around too long anyway, so I don't think it is a big deal. Just my opinion.

Yeah he does but I think it would be a pretty good thing as it would leave less topic's everywhere in the general-chat and well it would be a good topic to pin up in the general chat. So I think you might as well give it a try SMB and if know one likes it, it will be locked but if it's a hit it probably will be pinned. Although just reading over what MMFF said I could imagine if someone made a birthday topic for me... I would feel pretty special. And after all there isn't so many birthday topic's in the general chat that it's covered in them. There's usually only 1-3.

Otter Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 The fact is, things work fairly well as they are. Every once in a while, a n00b tries to "fix" things (myself included) and the idea is shot down. Gen Chat is all about fast disappearing topics. Not only that, but now the new policy is to keep topics under 100 pages or so. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

Otter Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 That, sir, is complete hogwash. I recommend you erase it from your post and never speak of the matter again, and I move to have this thread perpetually locked before we inflict brain damage on the forum's entire population.
