	an NWIH list Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

At a forum of a MUD I've started playing on (wotmud.org), they have an NWIH (or No Way In Hell) list for certain features that have been argued to death or simply will not be implemented. Pretty self-explanatory afterwards. I think we should have one at 'Poly too. IIRC, there are certain things that the admins have stated will never happen (subscription to 'Poly, for one).

No Way In Hell will there be a NWIH list...

Seriusly, though, I am not sure such a list would help any. People don't even bother to read the FAQ, and I don't think they could be bothered to check another sticky thread before proposing this cool new idea that they are confident noone has ever thought of... Oblivius to the fact that it has been discussed to death and then some.

EDIT: Retroactive sarcasm alert.

Perhaps it would be nice if there was another title between Emperor and Deity...

Why would anyone want branching threads anyway? I've always thought they were annoying.

We could use the new ones in C3C.. demigod or Sid Meier

(of course, it could/must be : emperor, demigod, deity, sid Meier )

Perhaps we should also link to the threads where these ideas were rejected by the admin...

I wasn't proposing them, but merely highlighting them as examples of regular requests that could go on the NWIH list.

Well, instead of having all the posts one after another like here, and everyone replys to the main topic, with branching threads you can reply specifically to any post, and then someone else replys to your post, and then someone else replys to the first post, and each post has links to its replys, and then they have links to THEIR replys... its a real mess of a system, lots of clicking through, and hard to read.

go to imdb.com and go to their forums for the individual movies. I like to post over there as well . They have branching threads. Though you can view them in flat mode- which is what I do.
