• Post frequency in GD
    13 replies, posted
So, if you haven't realized, general discussion doesn't bump threads when they are posted in. This lends itself to an interesting observation: The ratio of people visiting to people viewing to the number of topics is really not that high. So I wanna know, facepunch, why? How often do you start threads? What ratio of threads you view do you post in? And if you never start threads, why not? Let's hear it. This is the first thread I've started, and I guess I just haven't had many good ideas for a thread.

GD doesn't sort by most recent post, unlike the others. Manually sorting it (or using a userscript that does this automatically for you) makes it act exactly as normal.
I said fuckity-bye to GD posting when threads started being sorted by creation date. Only visit occationally for The Generally Just Fucking Creepy Stuff Chat Thread.

I still visit GD just like i used to. You just gotta press "Last post by" twice and it sorts the threads based on latest post again.
It just means a new and terrible thread will stay at the top when a great but active thread will gradually fall to the bottom then the next page. Not sure why the threads display like this by default, but I just bookmarked [URL="http://facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6&sort=lastpost&order=desc"]this link[/URL] to take me straight to GD with the threads ordered how I like them.

I'd rather just completely skip the forum altogether. I think Facepunch has an exceptional suck to it that doesn't appear on a lot of forums, and it's because no one's looking after the damn thing. It's weirdly broken and wonky in a lot of areas and it seems like no one cares.

And it's a whole rewrite because the current version of vBulletin under the forum is touchy and only kept in line with alcohol and weekly beatings, and that's why it's creaky and has odd workarounds or missing features.
wauterboi dreams of a new design: [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/965202/facepunch.jpg[/t] Blah. Someone destroy Rust so garry can make Facepunch 2.
I just go through my Read threads, I only hop into something new if it happens to catch my eye
they killed GD when garry removed the lifestyle forums now we just have all of the megathreads and overly dramatic privelaged white kids complaining about their lives
