One does not choose a destiny, his destiny is bestowed, shaped and formed, from the soul.

We have one thread ONLY ONE, that is for The late night flood. To change topics the thread will be update so that people who join in know what's being discussed. It's very simple

I had the same thing happen to me and my threads and you don't see me arguing with mods about what a thread is or isn't.

This is an incredibly simple solution and don't find any reason why this wouldnt be a feasible solution.

Feel free to disagree

No.

So you're saying... make a thread where the topic changes...


Why don't you just make a thread with whatever you want to discuss in the first place then

What a hipster.

Why not just a 'Late Night Flood' private group?

Let's think here. If the mods don't want them to make threads on the basis that they are spam and don't provide any discussion value, why not just let them make one thread. If they made multiple, then we're back to square one.

Is that an imperative?

Relax, they aren't all pony related.

I took it to mean that the title of the thread will change to best represent the current topic of discussion happening inside the thread. That way the topic can change freely but everyone entering knows what the topic is.

But let me ask you this OP: Would you stay up 24/7 continuously changing the topic of your thread every hour, half hour, minute, or half minute forever?

If you want such changes to be automatically detected and implemented... then tell us all how to do it. I hope you know how to code it too because I sure don't xD

Why limit off-topic discussion to one thread? Isn't that what the entire forum is for?

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

If a topic won't stimulate discussion as a thread, because there is none to be had, it is spam.
Posting that topic somewhere else won't make a blind bit of difference if there was never any discussion to be had in the first place.
