 Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
One of the biggest problems most people find when joining a new forum, is that they have no idea what thread topics have already been made, and what thread topics should be made. Its a real pain when you come up a great idea for a new topic and discover that its already been made, or that nobody wants to participate in it. And then its a pain for the Mods because they have to move it to the Dead Thread Bed or merge it with another topic. Well thats where this topic comes in. If you get an idea for a new topic but want a second opinion, or don't know if its already been made, you can suggest it here and leave it to the judgement of other users to decide whether or not they like the idea. Less hassle, less spam, less dead threads in the dead thread bed (try saying that 10 times fast), and more interesting topics  So suggest away!

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
It's not really a pain at all. We took this responsibility, and we gotta follow through with it. :3
I'd say as long as you follow forum rules, it's not a big deal what you want to start a thread about. We won't close it, but we can't guarantee activity.
If you want to scope out interest, however, might I recommend the chat thread?
I'm going to close this thread, ironically enough, because I think it's unnecessary.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
Well, we've received several PMs of people who think this should exist, so I'll go ahead and re-open it!

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
Gah! This would have been pretty helpful earlier actually to see if it would've been good or not to post my WWF topic. Might have gotten it posted in the right forum in the first place too.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
It's fine to make a World Wildlife Fund topic.
Or a World Wrestling Entertainment topic.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
Sleet, that second one's acronym isn't "WWF."
Before I somehow ended up as the moderator for Not the Comic, I maintained index threads for each forum. I approve of this topic.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
World Wrestling Entertainment used to be World Wrestling Federation until sometime in the '90s the other WWF complained.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
I'm pretty sure we have a search feature, so if you took a half hour or so, you could get a pretty good idea of what topics have already been covered by various threads.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
Still, THIS way you can leave your ideas to the judgement of other users, its a good way to get feedback on the topic you may want to make.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
I have already started a topic involving the many ideas for various people's inventions, where would that chat thread be again? And this is a very unique topic for the exact reason that it is not a specific topic

The chat thread is the one with 'chat thread' in the title. It's in this forum.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
Yes but I can't find it! I might as well have the mods shut it down...it seems like a pointless idea! But ideas are hard to come up with wouldn't you agree?

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
[Chat Thread 35]If you ever can't find it, you can always just use the "find" tool on whatever browser you use and tell it to find the phrase "Chat Thread". It seldom leaves the first page. We also don't just shut down threads because they're inactive, only if they're truly pointless (which the topic you started is not, I mean pointless as in a topic for which an active thread already exists, or consists of something like "post the letter A") or if they break the rules somehow.

It's our job to be pestered. We feel inadequate when we don't get in our daily quota of pestering.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
So if I were to say...wanna know how certain things work here instead of checking the FAQ which is useless ask a Mod, I could?

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
Certainly.
The FAQ's not totally useless, it's just that it wasn't written by anyone here, so it's got a lot of irrelevant information and doesn't cover more community-oriented questions.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
Then to ask a question how specifically do the Friends and Foes feature work?

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
The foe feature hides posts of those people. Honestly I think it serves virtually no purpose on this forum, since troublemakers end up banned, and for anyone else you're kinda being a jerk. I'm not really sure what the friends feature does. It's possible you can automatically be notified when friends post? I dunno.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
Friend does not do anything but show when a friend is on when you check your or other people's profile.
Foe makes it so you can not see posts made by certain people, but it will still have a notification where the post was asking if you want to show it. And it is not that if you have a foe you are "being a jerk". Just use the feature if you feel yourself incompatible with someone. It does not however block them from PMing you.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
I hope I'm not being a jerk, at least i try not to be. I had wondered how that feature was supposed to work. Didn't wanna try it on someone just to see though. Might have sent a bad message for all i know and give the wrong impression.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
I think the problem with making a thread like that is the fact that no one actually has one. ^^;

I don't own one either, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth discussing, since there are plenty of furries that follow it.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
In that sense it would be better to just name the topic "Fursuits" as "The Fursuit Tourney" seems a bit misleading.
It sounds more like a competition between fursuits and such.

I actually think only Mods can make an actual poll. so you'd need to ask one of us.

You can just make the thread yourself and ask for a poll to be made, as long as you specify the question and the poll choices.

 Re: Do you think ____ is a good Thread Topic?
Alright, I've got an Idea: What do you guys think about a tread topic about other webcomics we read. I'd be like a place where you can post links and pictures from webcomics besides Housepets! that you like. Then people can go and explore them Any opinions on this?
