OOT FAQ topics - official thread.
 

Okay, a very few people seemed to be interested in the idea of an OOT FAQ/sticky thread to try to improve on the quality of OOT. I think this idea is kind of 'meh' since kids will be kids, but it's worth a shot. So I'm taking the liberty of starting this thread to see what people think an OOT sticky/guidelines/FAQ should address.

By responding you can show your support or non-support for this idea and contribute topics you'd like to see discussed. When that's done I'll come up with a beta version for review (assuming the idea gets legs... if not I will SII my own P).

This is all pending the approval of forum mods, of course.

Soon we're going to need an "Other other other topics" for people who don't like the rules in Other other topics. GodDAMN.

Re: OOT FAQ topics - official thread.
 

are there really "frequently asked questions" in oot though? sure, some topics get brought up again and again, but it's not like they're conducive to a faq (eg, halo 2 gamertags). it seems to me that the only use of a faq in oot might be to explain cliches/acronyms that often get brought up.

overall i say no. half the fun of oot is berating n00bs!!1

I personally fear this as well, which is why I wasn't figuring on making it a fascist document or anything. I don't think we need any more forums either. The question is, would having a sticky reduce some of the assinine behavior (whatever amount of it is in excess of the amusing assinine behavior that is OOT's trademark).

Hey, it's a hard thing to legislate. I think it's possible to make something useful out of it, others may not.

WTF is OOT that everyone is always talking about? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I wish I could remember a comedy bit I heard a few years ago. It was when they first started making it illegal to smoke in bars. It was something to the effect of "I go out to the bar to drink poison, go home with strangers, have unprotected sex with them, and I'm supposed to be worried about second-hand smoke?"

Don't take offense, and I do genuinely appreciate efforts to improve OOT, but you can put me on the anti-FAQ, anti-moderation list.

None taken, and I'm not surprised.

I wouldn't expect the FAQ to include new rules, BTW, as most people seem to assume. I would try to do it in a lighthearted way. But, I respect the wishes of OOT if the good citizens feel otherwise.

Official OOT FAQ

Q. I'm having sex with my girlfriend tonight for the first time, any advice?

A. Stick it in her pooper.


Q. There's this girl at work that I really like, what should I do!?

A. Get drunk, then call her.

Re: OOT FAQ topics - official thread.
 

Just too ridiculous. No FAQ. Everyone here figured stuff out when they got here and so will everyone else. And I don't think writing something like:
1. Just go for it, she'll never sleep with you if you don't ask her out.
2. Masturbation is normal. Just not 20 times a day.
3. Threads with the word 'girl' in them are worthless without pics.
etc.

would really make this place any better.
