RationalWiki talk:Best of the forums

What do we do with this? If it stays, it should be in RW space, not mainspace. But it doesn't look like anybody's likely to add to it, so it might be better swept away in light of the whole forum/forums thing. Wēāŝēīōīď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 20:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

As the old-style forums aren't in much use, there's little chance of adding new things to it. We could try it with the new MW based ones, but I'd be reluctant for people to do the "up/down" thing on forum topics, there's far too much shitty intra-site politics to open up that possibility outside of WIGO items. ^moral 20:41, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Just re-read the forum thread that's linked from the page. Brought back some memories. We seem to have been a tad more intellectual in that forum. :-) --Bob^{Bring back the hat!} 21:26, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Hence how our recent troll did have some valid points. RW has done some amazing things, it just gets burried under a tide of shit occasionally. ^moral 21:33, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but debate on the forum was always slightly more considered the the rough-and-tumble, shoot-from-the-hip, fuck-you postings on the wiki itself. I often wondered why. It would be nice to get back to it (or some of it) but I'm not sure how. (Also concern trolls only really work when some of what they say is correct.)--Bob^{Bring back the hat!} 21:48, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Nobody has maintained this, and it was created for the "old" forum system. Blue (is useful) 23:59, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
