They are clean and organized, yet busy at the same time. Ultimately I think the site needs more active moderators who have no problem merging threads or moving posts...
This is just my opinion, though. I think the site was the fine the way it was.  |
Those are American Idol forums, so it's a different story. There is a thread for each week, which makes sense based on the fact that they outdate themselves, and then a thread for each contestant, which is a very limited number. There are SO many music artists out there and I think the goal in some people's mind here was to have one for every artist from Aaliyah to ZZ Top.
Here, people were having fun seeing just how many official threads they could make within a 5 minute period. It was more the idea of the official threads being abused that even called them into question. If there weren't so many of them, it would have been fine. Not to mention, there were some official threads that were being bumped without actual news all the time, like when people said in the Christina thread that her manager said she was a great singer. NO ****ING WAY? Christina's MANAGER thinks she can sing?!!! STOP THE PRESSES.
Basically, if we're going to do any sort of official threads, then we need to figure out how it's going to work in an organized way, and the official status will have to be approved like it always was in the past, before everything went haywire and caused anarchy.
