even though that is (from the description) meant more for specific games, as a companion to advertisements.

I definitely think Game Gab would be a good spot for such conversation, with a change to the description.

Helping Hands is very much the “how do I/should I/can I do X” spot, rather than a general chatting place.

This is pretty much the problem. The descriptions are the OPPOSITE of what you’re saying - and people seem to be interpreting the categories differently because of it.

Game Gab

Thoughts and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games.

Helping Hands

Code, Theme, Policies, Game Design – Conversation about how to do things better in gaming. Keep it friendly.

I don’t feel strongly about the solution, I’d just like it to be clear - both from descriptions and names - where general RPish conversation goes when it’s NOT Rowdy.

Yes. That’s why I said “with a change of description.”

My discussion threads have actually been going in Rowdy mostly, because I think leaving the opportunity to get heated on the table is important, but otherwise they’d go in Helping Hands. Game Gab DOES seem like specific games.

I just throw threads wherever and hope for the best. Staff can move them if they feel like it!

… I jest. Mostly. I did guess for that one thread I started, though.

NEW FORUM DESCRIPTIONS INCOMING:

Game Gab
Conversations and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games and the hobby as a whole.

When you want to talk about HOW to do something when running a game, bring it here: Code, Theme, Policies, Game Design.

I’ll make the changes and move shit around today.

I don’t want to make a new thread so I am hijacking this to say:

I LOVE that when I upvote a little green box appears. I don’t accidentally remove my upvote and then have to upvote again because I did want to upvote, I just forgot I already had.

For reals, though. How do you do this?

[bear_necessities]

@KarmaBum if I had to guess it has to do with “copy permalink” on the 3 dots beside reply, quote & upvote, and then linking it somewhere else?

[Pavel]

@bear_necessities I’ve done it by simply quoting a thing, and copy-pasting that quote into another thread/forum.

@Testament Oh, I know. I play Arx and I get annoyed that it’s in every thread.

@Pavel Well, that didn’t do it.

[Pavel]

@KarmaBum Might be an admin thing? I dunno.

I don’t know! It probably wasn’t on purpose.

edit: this is at least 3/4ths the case whenever I do something seemingly competent.

[KarmaBum]

@kalakh even tho your edit made me laugh I CAN STILL SEE THAT THIS IS A CONSPIRACY TO KEEP ME FROM FIGURING THIS OUT

[KarmaBum]

@Kestrel Thank you!!!

If a post is found to violate the rules of the board, should that post be allowed to remain up for everyone to see?

[Tez]

@GF Good question. One second.
