How can we "revive" the PRoom?

[Andromeda]

Looks like this forum is down for the count. How can we save it? Give your suggestions here. But ABSOLUTELY no spam!

EDIT. But if there's any troubles with this thread, mods are free to lock it. (of course)

 

[Red Exodus]

By making a fake PRoom for Tera to go to while we take the real PRoom.

Or by banning Tera. Again.

 

[Venom Dream]

People have been asking this question for the last three years or so. My suggestion was always to get rid of a few excess rooms (like the Computer Cafe), and to move the Pool Room up to the top of the forum, where it used to be. Then it'd get more attention, which could be a good or bad thing.

If all else fails, we're due for an explosion of n00bs once SSBB comes out. Maybe we just need to wait for that.

Lastly, if we spent less time insulting Tera and mo... you know what? That'd never fly. Nevermind.

 

[Rici]

Stop whining about the Proom being so 'bad' and start contributing to it.

 

[Chill]

The Proom is no different then usual. People have been complaining about it since it's inception. Now it's popular to complain about the proom so even more people do it. Like Venom and Rici said, stop insulting Tera/talking about butt sex/complaining and make a worthwhile contribution to the room if you think it needs it.

 

[commonyoshi]

Simple, we need Broomers.

I noticed Dodongo only posts in the Proom when Azua puts up a new picture of herself.
So the solution is to have Azua post more pictures!

And to get Azua to put up more pictures we need... Hairspray? @_@

 

[Xsyven]

We don't need BRoomers... you guys rely on them too much.

Just read the above posts, and don't be idiots. Too hard?

 

[Red Exodus]

By the way, what's so bad about the PRoom anyway? I haven't noticed anything bad other than the weekly threads Tera makes, but what makes the PRoom worse than it was before?

 

[Dibs]

Proom will never be revived. You know, it's not the ONLY place you can post.

 

[GoldShadow]

Like Venom and Rici said, stop insulting Tera/talking about butt sex/complaining and make a worthwhile contribution to the room if you think it needs it.

Chill! You'd better edit that before matt reads it and is saddened by it!

 

[-=Marth_n_Roy=-]

Kill it. . .corpses are VERY peaceful

 

[petre]

stop posting like idiots? then there wont be any posting at all...

 

[Venom Dream]

Oh, snap (majorly) to Smashboard!!

 

[Tera253]

the PRoom was never dead. it's full of the same action, jsut differnt ypes, like spam and stupidity, correct?

[Venom Dream]

Join Date: June 2006? Oh. Smashboards HAS been around for more than a year, you know. So I don't think you're really entitled to make a call on the relative activity of the Pool Room.
Plus, everyone here is calling you the problem. That just screams 'my opinion matters!' to me.

 

[notftomearth7]

The Proom doesn't need reviving in least in my mind. The only thing that's changed in a year is the decline of frequent visitors. Keep those random topics comin' that's all I got. At least we'll get more visitors a day.

nah, your opinion is just crap.
notftomearth7 has the right idea. random topics FTW!

[Crimson King]

The Proom has never truly been alive in the sense that good General Discussion boards are. Forums I regularly visit have about 3 to 4 pages a day of activity and all of them are quite well done.

The whole hating on Tera thing is getting a bit old, and really, it's just encouraging the same thing you are bashing her for. If you hate her and the way she posts, use the block user button. It works really well and you never have to see any of her posts. It also will enable you to stop *****ing.

People have not been complaining since its inception Mr. Join Date: Sep 2005.

The Pool Room has always been slower than the other rooms. The only change was that we used to have more interesting posts and less inane users. This all changed during the great rush of SSBM when all the idiots found Smashboards. It hasn't changed since, except less people.

 

[commonyoshi]

I just spent two hours arguing and making fun of someone over GameFaqs.

I love the Proom so much.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

We all know that the only way to revive the Proom is to make random idiotic topics,which only continually rant on about their opinions on someone else or their beliefs..then spam in it.

It's preety much what the Proom feeds off of anyway,so why not make it the primary source of entertainment.

People on the internet love stupidity,they feed off of it.

 

[Pit 42]

Delete all retrded topics. Hey, someone had to say it.

EDIT:FrankFly is doing his best. . .he has 3 funny topics that haven been closed yet. a round of applause for the man

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-=M_n_R=-'s Grand Master Plan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+AKA: Medina's Final Solution+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
=================================================


Send Tera to the backroom, forcing all of the BRoomers to whine and complain and leave the BRoom, forcing them to come to the PRoom where an all out PR vs. BR. war will start because of someone accusing someone of thinking they are better than some group. and between the intelligent flames and intelligent spam we will have an interesting PRoom for a time and the Mods will have a good laugh before hitting the Delete All (HINT HINT) button. to which I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet.

• it is sound
• it is solid
• it puts the blame on someone lowing the potential Spontaneous ban rate
• it will amuse people upon its execution

on the other end

• it is unknown exactly HOW MUCH chaos will ensure
• it is possible that BRoomers are so intelligent as to not follow their perceived roll in the plan
• it is possible that the amount of BRoomer going insane results in a mass suicide (that is of course at the fault of Tera. . .and possible me for coming up with this)
• Being that relies on one sole poster, a 1:3 chance of success is present

. . . .to much thought has been put into this. Ugh

 

[pikachun00b7]

Post on the melee sections, it's much more nicer there. The real problem is the crappy threads people make, and on the few good threads people tend to be way off topic.

EDIT
no quite but i have a better idea involving tera

Waa-waa-wee-waa

EDIT: I have the impression that the Broom doesn't really exist.

 

[Zook]

I see no way to revive the Proom. In the two years I've been here, the Proom's always been the place where people post random, stupid stuff like inside jokes, member bashing, 'OMFG im teh rEturd LOLZ!!!!' threads, etc. Before that, I have no idea.

Keep in mind: This is a gamer site. General Discussion is not the main focus in these forums, and therefor will be lesser to other forums.

 

[EEvisu]

Actually it really comes down to people who are like new to the internet making a bunch of lame *** topics, n00bs will never stop appearing thus this problem will never go away in a way I suppose, there are stilll a few good topics that pop up every now an then so just ignore then ones you dont like, I do.

Woah! That Ignore List is amazing!
Thank you Crimson King!

(now it sounds like one of those Tell Sell commercials :S)

 

[WaterTails]

Block user? wow! neato!

and we need to get back to the Faux Pas and romantic troubles of last year...

 

[EEvisu]

How about extra security? I nominate this fine man:

Half man, half shark, all badass

 

[Eor]

Aye, Ignore is amazing. Having EEvisu on there is the only way I can venture into the pool room without bleeding out of my eyes.

 

[Gamer4Fire]

We need more intelligent/interesting posters. Now where do we find them?

 

[Zane Fleia]

Less insulting Tera. Seriously, there are plenty of better things to insult.

Actually, not much will change much, unless Medina's Final Solution actually WORKS.

And I would like to note from one grammar nazi to another that you have typos/grammar issues. ^_^

it is unknown exactly HOW MUCH chaos will ensure
Either you mean how much chaos will ensue, or how much chaos it will ensure. Probably the former.
it is possible that BRoomers are so intelligent as to not follow their perceived role in the plan

Because if you can grammar nazi, so can I!

So its too hard for you.
