This seems stupid and pointless. Sign me up for the two and a half weeks it'll run for!  Why would I want you to sign up for "two and a half weeks" if you're gonna be a dick about it? Don't Why So Serious Face me, Mr. General f13.precedent mostly. On both points. Oh, the "stupid and pointless" applies because it's a twitter thing.  |

Yes, which is the only reason I'm happy to give it a go, despite my otherwise overwhelming love for the.. erm. genre.

eh? what's going on here? There's a link to something that looks like a forum only not thread based. It's like usenet all over again.  What the christ? |

Hey, how about the "So, what are you playing?" thread making a comeback by the time I get off vacation?
Fuckin kids.

If the future of the "What are you playing" thread is a fucking Twitter knockoff, I'll be off reading something that doesn't require me to converse in soundbites
(Yes, I'm in a bad mood this morning.)

Perhaps you don't see the appeal there, and I'm fine with that. But the What are You Playing thread could never turn into conversation on a simple topic of what someone was playing, with this format (and especially when we switch over to P2), it can easily be an entire avenue of discussion for the community that was unexplored before. Also, Twitter doesn't have threaded comments, whereas noise grid will, and that makes all the difference. You can't blame the Twitter style of instant conversation for being the problem over there, you can blame the people. Also, hey pal, WE didn't piss in your cereal.  |

Can't you do your little trendy new tech thing without forcing people into it by closing the "What you are playing" thread?
Can't twitter at work, same as every other fancy Web 2.0 thing. Give me http that looks innocent to the casual webadmin.

Can't you do your little trendy new tech thing without forcing people into it by closing the "What you are playing" thread? Of course, but this is far more efficient, and interesting. No one is actually forcing you by the way. Was there a particular game that you wanted to talk about or mention? Yes, I know I'm being a smartass. Can't twitter at work, same as every other fancy Web 2.0 thing. Give me http that looks innocent to the casual webadmin. You're telling me f13 looks more innocent than that other site? Am I not getting the joke here, one is very obviously a forum, the other is a page with text. |

There, I changed the subject since it's not really like twitter, since it has threaded replies. Also, as someone points out, the What Are you Playing thread was more like twitter since everyone just replied and didn't talk anyway.

I'm more interested in what other people are playing at the moment and why. And thats the advantage of a single thread over everybody talking in detail about their obsession of the microsecond on his own.
Yes, both are interesting to different people, but they are not the same. Neither in form nor in content. Some might use both, some neither.
And yes, a forum is innocent for my line of work. Nobody checks if there is one timewaster forum nested between the tech forums on my monitor.

I'll unlock the other thread, but if you don't tell us what you're playing, I will pop you right in the jaw with a sock full of lemons.

How could I refuse that offer? Thanks, I take a look at the other thing at home, but it screams gaming too much for work. The list of games at the right side in easily readable letters doesn't help my paranoia.

Fair enough dude. It's all RSS too, so you could just run it through your reader-du-jour. |

This is a lot of fun, so much so that I'm afeared of abusing it. Trying to keep it low-key, containing my numerous ideas in the womb of my mind until I determine it is safe to birth them onto the cold slab of The Noise Grid.

The top set of tags has disappeared off the screen. My tags start at 'DS'.

There is not a big blank spot or anything, they just poofed off the listed... You can still click the tag link in someones post, but some aren't listed on the right anymore.
|
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

It's the most popular tags, not a full list.

But (for example) I've used the Battlefield: Heroes tag three times, and the list on the right is displaying things used once. Also it seems to be taking only from the top (pre-E), but leaving everything on the bottom (lists to Z).
Or am I confusing popular with most used?

You know, it doesn't really matter, once P2 comes out, I'm switching it to a different tagging system. As such, let's not worry about how the current one sorts them. (awesome solution, imo)

Fixed them because I got tired of seeing it start with F also.
It is purely a band-aid though.
