I'm not denying the usefulness of this thread, and no one is keeping you guys from continuing the use of it.
[QUOTE=MaverickIB;28326932]Fuck it. The whole administration system here has fallen apart. We lose intelligent mods like Hezzy and TH89 and Garry decides to fuck things up through ordering his obedient new mods like Starpluck to do stupid shit. I was just wrong about things I guess. I was under the impression that some people (mostly the vets from LA) actually cared about giving people advice and whatnot, and would be upset about their ability to do so being removed. But apparently, I was the only one. The second I raise my hand up to object, even old members like Sawah turn and pull the "hurr cry some more" card. I mean, I'm an asshole, but like I've said before, I learned a lot during my childhood from people just like me. People on forums that dedicated their time to giving me advice. I can't help but think that every time the whole concept of Love Advice gets shit on, whether it's closing the subforum or moving my thread to what is essentially a land for dying communities, there's more and more kids just like I was that I won't be able to help. But apparently, I'm the only one that cares, so fuck it.[/QUOTE] I care, I may not be any good at giving advice, but I sure as hell need it.

I agree with everything else you're saying though.

They fucking gave Cooking, Fitness and DIY a subforum so why not Love Advice?
Seeing my posts go from 2000 to 800 is really just a slap to the face, I didn't even realize I had dedicated so much time to posting in LA.. It's so weird seeing it gone. Especially you, Mav, you've lost so many posts that it's crazy. It's weird that the whole subforum is just gone, that place was like a family that got broken up. Facepunch is slowly going down the shitter now, and some of the only people who could have fixed it are gone.

You should too. And so what if he has moved this thread to the chat threads? People will still be able to find the thread. It's not like the activity in it would've kept up forever, eventually it would've died down a bit and perhaps ended up on page 2. Here it'll keep getting as much attention as the other threads made.
The amount of attention the thread receives depends on you guys. If you guys keep using it, it'll stay just as active as it was before.
And what's with all this "Facepunch is going down the shitter"? Only a certain amount of people posted in the sub-forums. It's only a small amount of people who care, compared to how big the "population" of facepunch is. Also, other sub-forums have been created. My bet is that in a year, nobody will give a fuck about the subforums that have been deleted now.
[QUOTE=SaWAH;28326969]Sure, a forum would be the most ideal thing, however, the sub-forum we had wasn't that active and it was mostly just chat among the usual love-advice people, which is exactly why it's deleted unlike the drug forum. It does make sense. People just need to be less conservative and deal with the fact that the facepunch has changed. @kingy_who[/QUOTE] That was the reason garry gave for moving all the rest of the subforums, I agree that there was a lot of chatting going on, but when I posted a thread I had good advice. I have aspergers, and I am looking to get more socially active but that is very difficult for me. Does my social life fit under bullshit?
[QUOTE=Pascall;28326958]Because, like Sawah pointed out, it's a chat thread, as much as Maverick will deny it. All the other threads about specific subjects were moved here as well, so his isn't the only one being taken down by the man. But the thread is staying here, so there's no point in arguing it. You guys aren't being kept from discussing the exact same thing you were discussing before.[/QUOTE] Every thread is about a specific subject, I would note. [QUOTE=Pascall;28327112]The amount of attention the thread receives depends on you guys. If you guys keep using it, it'll stay just as active as it was before.[/QUOTE] nobody will use it because you don't get more numbers added to your post count. by extension, why exactly don't we get post counts going up from posting here
[QUOTE=ScoutKing;28327001]wow... you just said th89 was a intelligent mod? the fuck you smoking, the kid made a song making fun of a autistic kid. kids a douchebag that doesn't understand the definition of what racism is. I agree with everything else you're saying though.[/QUOTE] I've had problems with him in the past, but he was a good mod ever since he was given a second chance. Sure, he can be an asshole, but so can I. Doesn't make me a bad poster.
It's like everytime something on facepunch changes, people go on ranting about it, but eventually they just stop and accept the fact that things change. Back the smartness went away everybody raged, however, I sincerely doubt anyone really genuinly misses the smartness system.
[QUOTE=Pascall;28327112]The amount of attention the thread receives depends on you guys. If you guys keep using it, it'll stay just as active as it was before.[/QUOTE] Technically, the thread will have less exposure to the general populous with it being moved to the "Bullshit" section. Logically, General Discussion gets more exposure since it's right at the top of the forum.
I don't think Maverick is fit at all to be leading a love advice thread, from the simple fact that he acts like a complete 2 year old in an argument or when he doesn't get it his own way. It's up to you, people.
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;28327219]Technically, the thread will have less exposure to the general populous with it being moved to the "Bullshit" section. Logically, General Discussion gets more exposure since it's right at the top of the forum.[/QUOTE] Yes, but you guys will continue coming here right? I doubt just because it was moved, there's any reason to not come here anymore. And I don't see how "post count" is a significant enough reason to be angry about this. They're just numbers under your names.

[QUOTE=Kingy_who;28327254]I just don't see why the main thing that makes us human - being social, is being put under a section called bullshit.[/QUOTE] It's just a name for the section. I wouldn't take it so seriously.

No wonder this forum is full of social rejects when we've got a massive hardware/software forum and no social advice/ love advice forum.
[QUOTE=Pascall;28327249]Yes, but you guys will continue coming here right? I doubt just because it was moved, there's any reason to not come here anymore. [/QUOTE] People who know of it, myself included, have no reason to discontinue coming here. However, people who are new or unknowing (ie the people who are usually [i]seeking[/i] advice) have no idea of its existence until they do some looking around outside of GD.

I don't care about the post count, but it's an insult.

Alright guys, first time posting here. I asked this girl out before, but she refused. Now we'r really close, we talk about sex and she even offered to sleep with me, but more because we'r friends. (yeah, she's that kind of a libertine). Do I have a chance with someone like her? SHould I ask her out again in a couple of monthes?

It's up to you, people.[/QUOTE] Now that's just incredible. I'm the crybaby/butthurt/whatever one, right? But yet, you hold soooooo much butthurt about me/love advice/whatever for whatever reason that not only must you respond in the "Ask us about the forums" thread, but you had to come over here and say something too. Man, you're so damn cool. You're my hero.
[QUOTE=Pascall;28327269]It's just a name for the section. I wouldn't take it so seriously.[/QUOTE] I think this needs a subforum, why do we have a huge software and hardware section and nothing for socil advice.

SHould I ask her out again in a couple of monthes?[/QUOTE] It's pretty clear that if anything happens between you, she wants it to be in a strictly "friends with benefits" way. She's physically attracted to you but not romantically interested in you. Either take her up on the offers for sex or whatever and be content with being friends, or do nothing at all and deal with it. Don't ask her out, she's not looking for a relationship with you.

If you guys seriously want to complain about it, feel free, but nothing's going to change. I'm sorry you lost your "post count" or you're offended because it's been placed into a different section, but that's how it goes. This thread wasn't the only one moved and you guys aren't being silenced. If you have any complaints, I'd be happy to hear them if you contact me via Steam or something, but I'm not guaranteeing that anything will be done.
I have normally only lurked LA but I need to post to say this. Mr apple, stop being such a hypocrite over this and mature up and go back to AUATF.
