	"I hate civ" therapy for everyone, especially first time posters Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Dear All,
A while ago I started a "Collated Whining Thread" and it was shot down in flames. Some people accused me of trolling (who, me? ) but it is rather obvious that the lack of such collated thread resulted in massive overload of the boards with new topics.

Whoever feels a scratch or urgent need to join Polly and posts for a first time does not post in any of the existing posts. Instead, we have roughly 20 posts per day on 'My impressions on why Civ sucks/rocks' and another 15 on the bugs spotted (presumably those people are not alchocolics and see bugs only and not the other vermin....)

I really think Mark should create something of a 'I need to say this or die' thread and top it, or something like 'whining' and 'praising' threads. also a 'why combat sucks' thread could be a real hit, with all the charts, calculations and crocodile tears over some tank divisions that were killed by a settler.

some people will accuse me of trolling. actually the reason for this is rather practical - it is very hard to browse the boards, topics three days old are on 10th page and not all of us have cable connections. so please show some mercy since the mods cannot keep up with threads REX.

cheers

	Full PM-box? Change here!

But then we'd just end up with a "whining about the whiners" threads being spawn all over the place!

no, it should be collated too....
1) whining thread
2) praising thread
3) whining about whiners
4) whining about 'mindless consumers'

although no.1 and no 2. would make the later two useless

	mmmm......Therapy Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Why do people who unistalled the game keep posting here?!?! This is a Civ 3 forum right?!?! If you don't play the game go to the forum of the game you do play!!! I don't mind constructive criticism, but crying from people who don't like the game or play it?!?! What the hell is that all about.

my 2 cents


mmmm......Therapy feels good

6) Threads with lists in where people also whine as well.

7) Whining about the whiners who whine about whining threads.

8) Whining about the fact all the whiners must post in a single thread.

9) Praising the whining thread.

10) Whining at the praising thread



Let's just have a new section on Apolyton:

Civilization III -> Civ3-Whining&Praise Battleground

But would this mean we'd never see LaRusso over at Civ3-General again?

No, collating and streamlining sucks. I don't want to have to read through 8 pages of BS before I can thoughtfully reply and respond to opposing views and arguements. I remember the good old days when topics over 5 pages were closed and new ones started
