[QUOTE=minilandstan;30921562]You just deleted like 5,000 threads, and you combined all the subforms into one big ass clusterfuck.
It's like combining OIFY, GMF, and Fast threads and going on to say "Oh it's only a subforum guys".[/QUOTE]
I didn't delete any threads
If you're keeping it like that, at least bring back the comics, videos and contraptions subforums in it.
[QUOTE=simkas;30921705]Maybe it won't die, but it'll become far less active since now it's just a small part of the general discussion forum. Screenshots is a far too big of a part of gmod to be just a small subforum.[/QUOTE]
You know it would be more popular if everybody in there wasn't so elitist about posing and shit right? New posters in there get their assholes torn because the "veterans" don't like their screen shots for whatever reason, yet the veterans just post generic "Guys shooting at off screen enemy!" screen shots all the time. The screen shots section is for lack of a better word, boring. People lap the crap that regulars post up, yet despise anything new from what I've seen. It's like the Lua forum on steroids, or the mapping releases Forum with more posters.
If it's less active, so be it, but just think, at least Garry didn't flat out delete it.
Why have there been so few new members lately? I haven't seen Justin Beiber in forever.
5 minutes ago, half the forum was filled with some weird Russian threads.

We criticize threads, so they can get better. Not to be giant assholes and burn them down. And this happens in all the subforums.
My first map was burned to the ground because I forgot to add a cubemap in.
The comic, videos and contraptions didn't get enough posts in them to justify them existing. Keeping them separate isn't an excuse, they don't need to be kept separate. You end up with an active forum instead of 4 mildly active forums.
Nothing I say is going to stop you arguing about it so this is the last thing I'm going to say about it.
[QUOTE=hexpunK;30921693]Fast Threads posting quality will rise above sewage?[/QUOTE]
some parts of the LMAO threads are above the streets.
Also, the screenshot section has about 2000 more threads than the LUA section does and the LUA is currently the biggest subforum after garry's mod discussion from all the garry's mod sections. If you wanted to save space, you could have moved something other than the 2nd biggest section.

[QUOTE=minilandstan;30921703]Starpluck, not to "bitch", but you haven't edited the help sticky in over a year.
Your Personal skin URL goes to V3. Were on V27.
and half of the damn links in the comic area are dead, or were dead before it got lost forever in a sea of videos and contraptions.[/QUOTE]
Most of it was copied from Benji's post (I haven't been a mod for a year yet). I'll see to updating the links, but I can't promise doing so after every version of a thread.

We still deserve the same treatment the mapping, modeling, and LUA sections get.

That's all you really need to do.
If you wanted to save space, you could have merged the LUA, mapping and model section into something like "gmod addons" and that would've made more sense since neither of those are any bigger than the screenshot section was.

Yeah quite a few of the mappers have massive egos, the ones that do provide proper constructive criticism tend to be harsh due to the quality they expect. It doesn't excuse anyone from being overly harsh, but at least the mapping section sometimes sees more than "generic shooting screenshot #41561" without it being posted by a regular.
You're all arguing like somehow pissing garry off more is going to magically move your forum back

Garry just said it was the last thing he's gonna say about it, I don't think you can change that. He might make some other changes concerning you, but I don't think you'll like them any more than this one.
At least give us like a "contraptions" thread icon so we can better tell what is what.
[editline]5th July 2011[/editline]
And you still didn't actually say why you moved specifically the 2nd biggest section in that part of the forums.
As much as i try to avoid the Gmod section, Simkas is right about the contraption thing, one of the fundamental parts of Gmod should have at least it's own thread icon for identification so people can determine a screenshot thread from a contraption thread.
Garry doesn't seem to like going back on his actions.
That's why I use JBmod [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-c00l.gif[/img]
I understand that you're trying to make it so there's less different sections, but there are just so many other sections that could've been merged with other ones.
[QUOTE=minilandstan;30922162]Garry doesn't seem to like going back on his actions.
[/QUOTE]
That would defeat the point of doing the action in the first place.
Hold on, why are you bitching? The change is literally nothing but a shift in one direction. Literally, [B]NOTHING[/B] is lost!

1. The 2nd biggest section in that part of the forums is now just a subfrom
2. It doesn't have its subforums anymore so all threads of 4 different types are now all in one spot with no way to tell what is what.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;30921596]Oh man I'd pay to see that.[/QUOTE]
5 dollars to see that
It seems there is always a shit-ton of drama in this thread... Why?
Everyone in the last 2 pages (exept garry) = Bitching.
Im sad that the contraptions subforum is gone, and that the ~50 people that post in there will be lost to the overwhelming sea of ragdoll poses, since that is where he expects us to go.

You keep saying the same thing over and over. Is it a problem? Really? Have you tried to use the forum and got swamped in threads from the other sections?
Why don't you shut your trap and wait until whatever you're talking about becomes an actual problem rather than a possible future scenario?

But it's still all there. It's not like he deleted it like he did everything else that's been bitched at.
