The Thread for Reopening Threads

[anon68003072]

I made the group tag for this @Reopeners please join it if you voted for it to be made

[anon68003072]

Okay I’m going to start just to demonstrate how it’s done!

Discuss

I picked this because I like people having a specific place to rant about exes

Let's Talk About... Exes!

Ever had an awkward breakup? Want somewhere to vent about things your ex did in the past or continues to do? Want to ask for breakup advice? This is the place to do it! I have lots of awkward stories about my exes! I’ll be sharing as we go along!

Music

I picked this one because I really enjoy acoustic music, especially lately, I’ve been wanting to pick up acoustic guitar, so I want to hear more examples from the community!

Discussion: Acoustic Music

I personally really love an acoustic song. For me in any song the voice of the singer is really important, and in a lot of cases you only hear the full potential in their voice if you hear it acoustic. I am curious what everyone thinks of acoustic music, do you like it or not? What are your favorite acoustic songs? Are there any songs that have an acoustic version but you still like the ‘regular’ version better? I really love Ed Sheeran when he sings acoustic. I also absolutely love Lewis Capa…

Gaming

I picked this because my last post on the thread was asking if anyone can post a poll, I’m more than willing to post polls if this gets reopened and if people are interested.

Video game polls

Hello We have tabletop games polls but this thread is for rating video games! Just put a description/trailer of the game and add a rating poll! God of War [God of War – Story Trailer | PS4] poll

Anime

I picked this one because there are so many more anime openings to add and too look at plus appericiate.

Favourite Anime Openings

I watch a little bit of anime and the openings are always really cool. This a thread for sharing your favourite anime openings. (and no, this doesn’t make you a weeb) Mine are either the Fairy Tail opening or the Ouran High School Host Club opening.

Film & TV

I really love discussing horror movies, though this thread needs toned down to PG13 levels, I’m more than willing to partake!

Let's talk about horror movies!

Since Candyman is delayed due to Corona and I am extremely depressed, I decided to make this thread to talk about all things horror! You can share opinions, memes, fan art, or anything else, as long as it’s sPoOpY! I’ll start us off with an unpopular opinion: Freddy Krueger is grossly overrated. He isn’t and never was funny, and he doesn’t deserve to be a horror icon.

Books

I picked this because fantasy became my preferred genre to write over horror, especially since I can give fantasy some horror elements, I want to discuss how malleable the fantasy genre is!

What's Your Favorite Subgenre of Fantasy?

Set in a fictional world, fantasy is a genre which usually involves magic and myth. This genre is the most fictional because of its characteristics, and just like some of its siblings, it also has its own set of subgenres: High Fantasy Set in a heavily fictional world characterized by its own set of rules and morals. Examples are Lord of The Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. Low Fantasy Set in the real world, the low fantasy genre is described as “unexpected magical elements that shock c…

School

I have some things to add to this topic it’s actually kind of contraversial.

The best and worst kinds of teachers

In your opinion, what are the best and worst types of teachers? For me… Best Passionate about the subject they are teaching. Kind Empathetic Knows how to make class interesting Explains the topic well Includes diverse activities so that class isn’t mundane Gets students to think, make connections, and analyze Worst Is only there for the paycheck Doesn’t care about their students Only cares about trivial things, such as whether or not students have painted nails or wearing a jacket that is…

Health and Beauty

I quite like this thread and I do have some things to add!

How do rigid gender norms affect the mental health of people with diverse gender identities?

I think that rigid gender norms can have a really negative effect on people who don’t conform with binary gender identities. I don’t have a lot of experience on the matter, but I believe that pressure to conform is really damaging to the mental health of a lot of people and that rigid gender norms can be an excuse for people to treat people with diverse gender identities badly. @Discussions

This is all I’m nominating for now

• You do not need to nominate a thread from every section, you can if you want to

• You do not need to explain your choice, you can if you want to

[WritingWithStars]

I think this is the writing discussion section or something! Can’t remember

How do you come up ideas for your stories?

Everyone is different with how they come up with ideas when writing stories. I like to watch shows, listen to music, and read other books to get inspiration to write. I mainly try to listen to instrumental music or soundtrack music to really help me when coming up with ideas. For instance, I got the inspiration to write my episode story Daughter of the Blue Dragon from reading the visual novel called Kissed by the Baddest Bidder from Voltage Inc. I have always been interested in the underdog sto…

But I think this thread could be really interesting and especially helpful for writers and even discussing their ideas and stuff.

[anon68003072]

@Discussions I’m tagging you to let you know a few things because you guys are interested in discussions and this is a thread to reopen those.

• We have a group tag called @Reopeners which was voted for by 9 to be made but only 4 have joined

• You still have until the 21st to nominate threads

But also, we care about natural threads on here, for so long the staff have dominated thread making and we probably haven’t made it clear enough that we really value user threads on here! So while you can’t nominate threads closed by OP request, you can remake them yourself if you want to discuss the topic that was closed. We have no rule against remaking threads.

Books

I feel like almost every time I read a new book I have a new favorite character so it would be nice to have a place to talk about that

What is your favorite book character?

It’s a series written by Alan Bradley that centres around an 11 year old girl in post-war England. She’s a talented chemist who likes working with poisons and she goes around solving murder mysteries

Film and tv

Seems like a very interesting topic

If you were allowed to kill off one character in a show, who would it be?

If I could kill one character in a show. It would be Billy from Charmed. I really do not like her character for some reason. I feel like they brought her character into the show in a bad way. If they had made the transition much smoother then I probably would have liked her character. At the time, they brought her in the exact same manner as Paige but the transition was a trainwreck instead. They made the last two seasons pretty sloppy to be honest. Who would you kill off in a show, if given th…

@anon68003072

OP request

What is that?

[anon68003072]

It will say if a thread has been closed due to “OP request” at the bottom of a thread where the staff member who closed it states the reason. But it basically means the person who made the thread requested for it to be closed!

[Bexs]

Ah, okay. Thank you!

[Duckling]

Sounds interesting but is there anything stopping us from just creating a new thread about a topic when the old one gets closed? This just sounds like a lot of effort for something that can easily be solved by creating a new thread if someone wants to discuss a topic that has been discussed before and died down. And if the goal of this is to avoid duplicate threads, there’s nothing stopping the staff from merging the new thread with the old one if it gains a lot of attention, right?
but I haven’t been around for a while so feel free to just ignore my opinion since there might be something I’m missing here

@Duckling

Nothing at all!

@Duckling

It’s not that much effort, if people want to respond to a point on the closed thread or if they’d just prefer a thread got reopened than remade then like, that’s fine, it makes no difference to me.

@Duckling

And if the goal of this is to avoid duplicate threads, there’s nothing stopping the staff from merging the new thread with the old one if it gains a lot of attention, right?

I don’t believe I ever said the goal was to stop duplicating threads, it’s for if people don’t like that a thread was closed and they think it can be reopened, if a new thread is made after the original was closed it’s not a duplicate, it would only be a duplicate if two threads of the same nature were open at the same time.

@Duckling

but I haven’t been around for a while so feel free to just ignore my opinion since there might be something I’m missing here

Just people being worried that people may be bothered about threads being closed, nothing to worry about, I hope I answered your concerns.

[Ouijaloveletters]

Awesome idea, El!

[anon68003072]

Hey @Reopeners

Looks like none of them got up to what would be 75% of our active users! Better luck next time, 75% is in the 20-30 range by the way. I also just want to say that threads can be remade so if if look at any of these and wish you could talk about them, you can remake them.

This vote is literally just for if enough people would prefer the original.

Feel free to send more nominations until 2022-05-18T23:00:00Z

[celestialkitten]

Bump!
I vote this thread because I think it’s very important.

A Mental Health Safe Space

trigger warning: mentions of mental disorders, self harm, and suicide If you get nervous from time to time, you do not have anxiety. If you want everything to be clean and neat, you do not have OCD. If you feel sad one time, you do not have depression. If you make fun of someone for cutting or attempting, you are human scum and I don’t know how you look at yourself in the mirror everyday without getting disgusted. Don’t jokingly say “I want to die so badly.” People are going through that, a…

[anon68003072]

Dunno if I made it obvious when I stepped down but I’m not running this anymore. Either someone else can or people can just do the common sense thing and make new threads or comment on threads of a similar nature to the threads that they want reopening.

Considering how many people wanted to “”"“save”""" the forum it’s really funny to me that I’ve really not being seeing much of a spike in activity…

Anyway, I’m putting this on mute. If anyone has a problem with anything I said, don’t PM me. I’m not obligated to respond.

[lollipoplady]

Can we still suggest threads we want reopened here?

[Jass]

Yeah, feel free to do so!

[lollipoplady]

Great!
Can we reopen the Describe your favorite song without naming it thread? I have a different favorite song that the one I had last year, and want to add it.
