If you haven't already noticed it yet, the other regional boards have each gotten a new sub-forum "Social Room," and Atlantic North is no exception. These boards are created with the intent to let users continue their social discussion amongst friends in their own community, while allowing the original Atlantic North board to serve its intended purpose - Smash & Tournaments. The Regional boards served this purpose, but not without spawning the crew/state/region-specific social threads (even ones under the guise of a "power rankings" thread).

The main Atlantic North board will be used for organizing smashfests, setting up Power Rankings, threads for local tournaments/bi-weeklies, organizing housing/travel plans to said local tournaments, etc. The Social Board, however, will basically serve as an Atlantic North-specific Pool Room. Feel free to make threads about anything you want, really. Other games you've been playing, music you've been listening to, school/college/work-related threads, etc.

Keep in mind, however, that post count is disabled in this room. This doesn't mean you can zettapost (which would be posting 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times in a row), as the room will still be moderated like normally. Don't spam, flame, the norm you'd expect from other boards.


Have fun!

=============================
Basic Rules:

1. No flaming: the social room is more relaxed than the ATL North forums, but that doesn't mean you will get away with insulting or flaming other members. Same punishments as always. Please don't "brawl v. melee."

2. No illegal content: no discussion of alcohol/tobacco/drugs, no discussion of porn, no discussion of illegal activity. Even if you're of age. Same punishments as always.

3. Avoid making repeat topics: these will most likely just get closed and a link will be posted to the other one.

4. Try to stay organized: don't double post if you can just edit, even though post count is disabled. Please don't make topics with excessive characters in the titles.

Rules can/will be added as they're necessary.

If you've got any questions, feel free to ask them here.

bustin 5 knots wind whippin out my coat
sweet now I have to click through more links to get to the discussion I care about

I didn't see anything wrong with the previous system, no one is gonna discuss smash tactics and stuff in there, so it's all going to be tournaments. that would make sense if fests/tournaments were getting lost in the threadlist, but that wasn't happening at all, they were the most active threads. so yeah this is pointless

edit: ok I won't just say it's pointless complication of a working system but is there any good reason for it

that is to say, for all the smash stuff. it made sense when people were in here talking about street fighter and stuff. but smash related stuff like crews and PR threads being moved from the main board seems strange. I thought the point of a social room was to separate the crew threads and main discussion from threads about people's girlfriends and street fighter and stuff... now social room = old atl north, except more convoluted with social threads and you have to click an extra link

im split on the issue

part of me wants only crew threads to be moved back to regular atl north, since theyr main threads that are normally pretty important for regional zones. same thing for state threads (except the CT thread, since that has nothing to do with real discussion or rankings....)

another part of me loves a new area to post tourneys for the area, like if the tourney listings had a sub zone for atl north only.

Because Inui, most of the crew threads are in fact Spam pits.

And unfortunately we can't go this one spams less then others so let it stay.

Cuz most of the time crew threads amount to nothing but spam. Your crew thread is a beautiful example of this. (so is mine tho, lol)

Also it takes just as many clicks to get to your threads. Silly kids and your drugs

I like this, good jobby smashboards.

why is everyone makin a big deal? just subscribe to thread and check the thread u subscribed to in ur user cp. the tunes thread could be in the fzero room for all i care, lol.

this really makes no difference, its just a new place to look for your threads. if u want local tourneys look here, if u want crews and finders, look here. This way tourneys dont get buried in filth.
