I think that bumping a thread with 3 thumbs up smiles can be seen in a wrong way.
you could say instead: i really like this idea, i would like to see it on the server. Sorry for the bump
also,
i don't see anything wrong with bumping one old thread, but you have to remember that sometimes threads die for a reason.
Like the thread about making another boards, were you put that only regulars or maybe vip+ only... well there are restricted boards so that bump was for nothing.
well, that is what i think about this ._.
Well for one, I was unaware of how people reacted to bumping old threads and some may have died for a reason but the ones I looked at looked like they still had something to grow off of, Something that maybe new people can put some input on that other people didn't, As for the Unnecessary bump, It was not posted that there was a restricted part of the board, It wasn't posted anywhere at all, So I was unaware, I just felt that the post still had potential.
Side note: I can't sleep. x.x
This is how i see it
newfag comes to the forums.
newfag after a week bumps a thread to say "lol"
newfag get their respect down to negative
newfag thinks that bumping, even when someone says something usefull, is bad. (wich obviously isn't)
.____.
Edit:
Dat edit over me deserves a +1
Pros:Thread is (for example 5 months old), how is it a new idea?
You can continue the discussion, From a point that more people can view from and they can place more input into the forum, Maybe even expand a new Idea.
Everybody is going to get bored of Gmod at some point, Everyone is going to get bored of all these mods at one point, But we can still keep making them, Or growing ideas of them, You can spark a new fire that can help make everything more fun, Why do you think people would want to expand into other games? Because, They get bored of Gmod they have to bounce back and forth or they want to play something new,>we
I'm not saying stick with Gmod, I'm saying, Expand into other communities, But keep Gmod alive, Because unlike most games out there, You can do just about anything with this game (Except alter reality so on and so forth.) You can do a lot and all I asked for you to do, Was take a few minutes of your time to read an old post that MIGHT have something going for it, If you still want to -1 me, Go ahead but know that all I was trying to do was something positive for the community.
You just have to learn to ignore a good amount of people in RND, Felix. It still seems to be cool to people to act like noxious and be hostile to newcomers.
And don't care about your respect, no one takes it serious.
This. Look at my respect. I stopped caring since buzzkill went looking for my posts to -1.
So basically since about -50.
Also, Here is a perfectly good example, Of a bad Idea, Expanding into a good, Possibly acceptable idea.

More fucking bump.
I posted a good addition to a thread that was 2 weeks old,
gamefreak: Nnice necrobump fuckhead.
-_-
It wasn't 2 years old or even 2 months.
Although, seeing Krasher's posts is a red flag for DON'T post on this.
Krasher had some good ideas... you know.I know, but still, if he posted on it that means it's an old thread.
I know, but still, if he posted on it that means it's an old thread.
:pokerface:Ah, but does the rest of the community agree?
we just said that bumping with a good idea isn't bad .___.
I posted a good addition to a thread that was 2 weeks old,
gamefreak: Nnice necrobump fuckhead
Err, gamefreak always posts something to piss someone off intentionally. So I hope you actually ignore those posts coming from him...
Moo is right and we all know it
Actually, if a thread has never been closed, there IS a reason why it hasn't been closed. Even if it's >9000 years old. And if you hate him because he posts off topic shit, you should do so to anyone else.This.
hey look a cree-Not according to 60% of members in rNd.
and don yes any newcommer, comer or whatever can do so ;o
And if somebody gives you crap for "bumping" a thread or two not even halfway down the first page of a forum's list of topics, happened to me before, fuck 'em.I bumped a forum that had been created within the first 3 months in the old forum. Guess what: nothing. Because there weren't so shit people back then.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
*holding back the temptation to be the technical equivalent of a grammar nazi*Hm?
Since you started talking about growing ideas Ima tell you something.
Old threads are just like dead trees. They don't grow anymore no matter what.
If you're trying to water them the only thing that's going to grow are weeds.
In this case you're going to receive negative reactions.
Although if you would provide a very strong argument you could "grow" the idea.
Thread is (for example 5 months old), how is it a new idea?
People stopped posting in old threads for a reason.
I'm sure that admins (at least 1) have seen those threads and if they wanted that thing or idea to be implemented
they would have already done it.
>we
You're talking like Gmod popularity depends only on us.
I'm sure that there will be more great game modes in the future, but in this community, there are only a few
members who know lua and other difficult things about it.
All games gets boring eventually so game companies are creating new ones or people
who are capable of make game modifications.
Now if you still think the otherwise I'm sure that there should be more threads that you
could possibly grew an idea from them.
I'm not asking you to follow any of what I have said above, I'm just asking you to read it.
Well, Moo, Shawn, and Don have it right. There should be nothing wrong with bumping some threads. Especially when it isn't for a post count. Which it seems to me that it wasn't since it was not the spammy amount you would see from a post whore.
@Shawn and Don, I find it sad that we actually have to tell people to ignore 98% of the members here becus they can be douches...... Something nid be fixed in my opinion. I don't like being noxious! :(
Not to digress, but, wasn't the inventor of the light bulb Thomas Edison?
You have no idea how much, One thing can effect so many othersOh I do, trust me.
And if somebody gives you crap for "bumping" a thread or two not even halfway down the first page of a forum's list of topics, happened to me before, fuck 'em.:( I was just stating that you bumped it. I wasn't being all butthurt about it and I answered your question.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Exactly, I didn't do it with wrong intentions, I did it cause as I said, I saw some potential and the thread wasn't closed, and as someone else said, It's sad that you actually have to say that we have to ignore 98% of RND members, It shouldn't be that way...
