Subject: Logical Threads a Rarity

Consider the diversity of this community (in the main forums) before you assume there is a problem. You are seeking a level of coorespondance that may be both uninteresting and unintelligible by the many of the forumgoers here. If you wish to have enlightening conversations about deep subject matter I suggest you look beyond a gaming developers open community forums.

Try private groups, as there is no doubt you would find great conversation with a smaller and more like minded group of members.

13.72 billion years in the making.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Logical threads a rarity

Damn it.

First thing I thought: I need to go remove one of my toes as punishment.

When I grow up I want to be bitter and spiteful.

Sturgeon's Law applies to so much. I would not consider this a problem, but in fact a benefit, as it allows us to greater appreciate well-crafted topics.

Just for the sake of petty criticism, a lot of what you said is simply dumb, and, lololol, illogical.

Quality of discussion is unrelated to logic. There are many wholly sound threads of logic with no discussion value or generated interest. Sometimes even comical and illogical slip-ups can make the best of threads.

Additionally, you speak of holding the thread authors accountable for the lack of thorough structure to a thread. What gives a thread often great opportunity for discussion is not its overflowing quantities of information, but its lack thereof. What is needing can be provided by the responding users, thus generating worthwhile discussion. Threads with four word OPs can provide the most riveting of intellectual conversation.

The problem is that there really isn't much to discuss.


This.

I do not see how a topic with a small amount of information can be 'riveting' at all. I recall that 'Christian allegory' topic and truthfully, the author is a genius. He not only researched his topic thoroughly, but when he wanted to get his message across, it was done with near perfection.

I'm not that active, but never dead.

Maybe because as the required level of technical expertise in order to play bungie's games has lowered, the ratio of educated/uneducated community members has risen.

Honestly, this is only going to get worse. Also, considering that the largest demographic of community members are teenagers/young adults, you can't really expect them to contribute to mature discussion, when they themselves are not yet mature.

It's been the nature of the beast ever since Bungie moved from the Mac/PC platform to the original Xbox.

Just HOW did I know you were gonna comment?

It's practically a bait thread.

OT: Yes, it will always appear to be a rarity when most logical people will have lost their IQ by now from checking in daily to the flood forum.
