We could always just cut a swath through General Population also, Revive a thread hit it for a couple of pages and MoveOn.Org

Stealth Hoeing You will never know where we will strike next...

So I am curious. I'm sure you guys are also members to another product/hobby/sport forum. Do they have something similar to a PW thread? If so how do they handle it? Just looking for ideas.

Thank you for the input.

Matt, My Post Whore days are behind me but I have noticed in the other forums that I am involved in that there is always a "Water Cooler" area. That area doesn't contribute to the members count and seems like it's an open discussion. This also leads to smaller threads and posts from members from what I can see. One example is: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6. As you can see, there are threads started but each thread has fewer posts then a "PW Thread" would have had on TO. Another forum (http://forums.androidcentral.com/and...entral-lounge/) breaks the discussions to certain interests like the previous link. Then there is the chat area that might be suggested by others also; http://www.spacetimestudios.com/foru...Pocket-Legends

I hope that helps out a little bit.

It seems that the PW thread was not as bad as thought, At least I never saw anyone openly complain about it or its members like what is going on right now out in General Discussion on other members and topic's...
I feel we contributed greatly to content and atmosphere in the general forums. Were some questionable things posted in the PW thread in the "OFF TOPIC" section? Sure there was but were we ever personally contacted to cease and desist? No. The site went down for a week and when it came back up it felt to me that we were treated like it was our fault it went down and we were not welcome here anymore.
With the Members that frequented the PW thread TO also had a base of owners that monitored daily dam near every other post in the forum and welcomed every new member, brought knowledge and information and assistance to new and current members (some brought a lot more than others)
We used to lighten up some of the threads that were getting out of hand, and we also are guilty of planting seeds to ensure some threads had the potential to get out of hand.
Maybe there was an movement from the other members to rid the forum of the Evil PW thread, if so I hope it is a better place for them now. We have moved on.

LOL, not entirely. I am sure I can bring it back around. But, life has been too busy and can't find the time to do it anymore.
