Not before it typically turns into some antagonism. But hey.. is what it is. I'm gonna stop here so we don't get this one blown up too.

No issues at all. Just do it in Off-Topic. Reading about your upcoming surgical procedure on the front page of a game general forum is mind boggling. Carbine could certainly use a touch of professionalism, especially with their pony avatars.

The moderators have decided to continue to the tradition from beta. It's general discussion in the WildStar community. Everything else not related to WildStar goes in off topic.

You seem to be getting hot under the collar for not getting your way… you have no control here. Don't respond, don't read the thread, just look the other way.

Cligue. Not click. And they're (the two threads) one and the same.

..in before this gets hit with a  tier 4 charged shot.. of " I TOLD YOU SO .." the name Jacktas seems to point to a certain mindset. whats so selfish about letting a thread thats been said .. on multiple occasions be the only off topic thread in GD? it's not wholely off topic if we want to nitpick. its about WILDSTAR's community. again.. its not  about the people posting on the thread, altho its grown a steady stream of regulars and growing. no one HAS to open the thread to read about anything said in the topic. no one is being forced. if YOU had an issue about someone talking about thier operation. then its  YOUR fault for opening the thread in the first place. if i have an issue about someone Whining and crying about a nerf'd this ... or dead that. i just STOP reading and close the post  and read something else.. really.. try again a diffrent song.. cause this tune's  waaay over played

By using the game's forum as a personal diary? Genuine question. Most of the time nothing of value goes on in the coffee threads. People post photos of what they eat, post the umpteenth screenshot of their character, post whatever trite issue makes them currently upset then pat each other on the back with meaningless condolences and empty endorsements. You can practically see the collective intelligence of the participants atrophying with each page. There were good moments there, no doubt. I liked reading about the new addition to Koala's family or some of the fairly entertaining, sometimes suprisingly witty, banters but these haven't been happening for quite some time now.

Compared it. It's the same mindless drivel but masked by the saccharine tone of the posts.

You misunderstand me. I engage in such mindless behaviour myself from time to time. It can be fun when a thread has overstayed its welcome or never had any merit to it (had a nice round with Tankanidis and Tex yesterday) but it's only fun if there's an actual discussion or banter born out of it in which anyone can participate. The coffee threads haven't been offering that lately. They're not only off-topic but incredibly self-serving. They do not help build the community but instead divide it. When I open one and start reading through it I don't see anything to comment on. Anything to join. Only the same bunch of people quoting each other ad nauseum just to add "I feel for you." or "I completely agree." and any variations thereof. It's a sickly ouroboros.

Just to ask. Why does it matter? Not defending or attacking either position. I'm just wondering why it's enough to cause *waves hand*  All this? Similar question. Same reaction to people parked in handicap zone or fire lane?

1-49, yea probably, I did too. :D

Always makes me sad when there's threads we agree on. OP, this whole thing is just sad. That's all. I can't muster enough shits to even pity you.

I suppose I did miss my mark by assuming, after you spoke for the group of individuals in question, that you were part of that crowd. My apologies. Also Tex, you're not nearly as witty or cool as you think you are. More like a toolbox. See, not just a tool, but an assortment of tools, gathered in a box.

I dunno, man. I think I'm pretty dang witty and cool. I think you're underestimating my sense of self-importance.

Especially to a 6'7" 350 lb. cowboy with an attitude problem.  :lol:

I don't speak for them in particular, but I am a forum regular and I have been a part of the "forum regulars" on other forums, so I'm just stating my observations on the phenomenon. I was part of a somewhat renowned group of WoW forum regulars during BC that shit up the General forum so badly at night that they hired a night moderator to police the forums at night (there had been no night moderation up to that point, so we had free reign) That was many years ago and fortunately I have since learned my lesson. The forum regulars here are mostly harmless, trust me. I have seen (and engaged in) far more destructive behavior.
