I think NGB thread started going downhill when Random Thoughts thread was created. Before Random Thoughts, the NHB thread was fine. Now you have these new members coming in and they think the two threads are the same, that is why it's all messed up now.
So in my opinion, the Random Thoughts thread and NHB thread should be merged together. They are both are kinda alike anyway. We don't really need two separate threads.

Oh hell no.
NHB and SYG both started going downhill because half of the main posters in those threads left both of those hot messes for RT. We needed a place for simple gerl talk away from all the nutcases of ATRL.
Merging RT with that tragic thread is an absolute no no.

My idea is the best idea. All they have to do is implement it. The site would be much better if they listened to me.

The problem is how to tackle the issue as a whole. I would take 'Stand Your Ground' out of Celebria along with taking 'No Holds Barred' and 'Random Thoughts' out of The Lounge and make a new subforum with ONLY the three non-reportable zones.
This would allow a number of issues to be solved with keeping certain posters out of said zones without punishing use of the entire forum.
When I was a moderator at a different forum, we simply banned users from the specific "bashing" zone of the forum for a determined number of days or, in rare cases, indefinitely.

It was a great idea, Lipton and we are currently discussing options about what to do with NHB. Once a firm decision has been made we'll let everyone know about it.

I'm not able @ me getting ATRL together while not being a moderator. It's like my old forum days all over again.
What vBulletin or plug-in needs to be added?

Yes. NHB isn't the same anymore. Granted, I wasn't here during its "peak", when people would post in it all day, dragging anybody and everybody that came in their way. I think the reason that it has declined in popularity is because the people who used it to most have moved on, have nobody to drag, or just don't care about ATRL as much anymore. As several others have said, NHB was very amusing to most people at first, but the "fun" of it wore off. The recent "drags" in there are so mild that it isn't even humorous at this point. The thread is littered with one word posts, no word posts with smileys and/or gifs, or people spamming the thread with "a mess :toofunny". It's so ****ing stupid and pointless. And anyway, it's that time of year where all of the big names in music are releasing music, so people are more into dragging artists right now. At the end of the day, did NHB do its job? Yes. Is it as necessary now as it was last year? No.

Athens and Joe are the only ones who can answer that question, more specifically, Joe. They handle all the maintenance of software and such on ATRL.

Well, it's closed again. This is a recurring problem.

Why is it closed all the time & then blamed on Jonny & Remeese ? If they're the reason, give them warning points for saying stupid things in there

They turn it into Random Thoughts. And that wouldn't stop them.

Jonny Lightning has closed it like 5 times 
His "drags" are about the other person's spelling errors.

I agree. It either needs to be closed permanently or closed off for certain members.
Or merge it with Random Thoughts, since people typically use it to talk, and not to drag or fight.

No Holds Barred is a disease to ATRL.

I know, just ban them everytime they go in there then. Is there a possible way to keep someone from going into a thread ?

Don't even.
NOBODY is trash-talking in there.. so don't point at me when I added to a small conversation that already started. Get your facts straight Ace. Stop trying to break the record for closing & opening a thread the most times and actually do something about the thread if you're going to close it every 2 seconds and point it at whoever your board lands on.
Come on Ace, you know better than this. |
Don't spill my name out. All I did was add onto a conversation of Nicole Scherzinger that Beatfreak (who only did one small comment about it) and ManDown started. Ace for some reason wanted to be biased and throw the blame at me. Very unprofessional and just an overall idiotic move.
Jonny has gotten it closed about 5 times or so.. I've been falsely accused of getting it closed. Not the same thing.
