Whatever happened to EF C & C?

[puddlemonkey]

Indeed. Not only is it a retarded concept, but the total lack of consistency is even more laughable. They are basically there for when one or two mods gets into a tizzy and basically wants to use the sub forums as an excuse to move a topic they dont like for whatever reason.

tizzy = traz ?

They could move all the sub-forums considered *social*, as Java suggested, back into chat and require topical icons for threads (ie: a camera for film threads, a Stilleto for fashion, and an arrowed and flayed St. Sebastian for Pick3 flaming mo threads). Then peeps could use these visual cues to pop onto threads they were interested in.

Or people could actually utilize their reading comprehension abilities by not clicking on threads they either find no interest in or think may upset them.

EF already caters to such a specific subgroup, that adding additional subforums to chat is kinda lolz.

it's like "bodybuilders talking about music forum" yeeeeeeeee

i think it's beyond EF control...chatting on boards seemed to really blow up right around 2000 when it was fresh and new.
no facebook, no twitter, etc...now with these other mediums, plus hundreds of new boards that have sprang up, really not much ef can do about it.

Yep. There were no social networking boards back then, so the C&C subforum of EF provided an outlet for people who came for the AAS and training info to hang out and socialize.

I meant, and should have said, all the threads specific to these subforums could be moved back into chat (as a whole) and use simple icons with the thread title to denote a particular threads' subject matter.

See Nimbus, 75th could have easily illustrated his predicate with an icon....

...and we would have immediately understood what he wanted us to do.
