We have 4 continuing topicless threads; Masculine, Feminine, Harem, and Ji's.
We seem to have a "no repeat threads" policy, yet for about a year now the OGB has been dominated by what are essentially 4 identical threads. I suggest ending the continuation of at least 2 of these once they reach their limit.

Agreed. While they all had different origins and served different purposes at their formation, now it just seems like they serve the same purpose. I have seen that the same people post in all four of these threads, and the discussions generally consist of off-topic discussions that could be contained in one, if not, two threads.

I think I have to agree as well; they're just random topic threads now.
I think we should keep the Masc. and Fem. but return it back to their original purpose, and keep perhaps one more for random off-topic discussion.

And those would go on for hundreds and hundreds of pages? The only threads that can go on like that are the off topics. I would suggest ending all of them but Ji's. It's the same people talking about the same things in 4 different threads. If that's too much change, then just ending the masculine and feminine threads would be fine. Having two off topics wouldn't be so bad and would allow for multiple simultaneous conversations, to a reasonable extent.

TAKE MY IDEA DANG IT.
Just archive those other threads and have Ji's Manly Feminine Harem the XXX.
*EDITED* for numeral correctness.

Most of the time, they talk about different things in Ji's and the Harem, and the gender based threads are women drooling over men.
I say keep them. It's no cost to us, it's no hurt to us, we would only clear up three slots, at the maximum.
You show me one 1-hour time period in the past seven days when all four threads have been the same topic for the full hour you selected. Can't? Didn't think so.
The only two topics that consistently stay on the same topic are the gender based threads.
What I find confusing is that the manly thread isn't akin to a Victoria's Secret catalog. That may be the only one worth deleting.

Haha, well I see your point, kaneda and I agree. I personally think keeping Ji's and the Harem would be a good idea ^^; Having 4 random topic threads IS really pointless.

I don't see the harm in keeping them. Even though they basically are all the same thing, you do get different conversations. It's fun to be able to talk to a bunch of people at the same time about different things. The OGB is one of the most active boards just because people like to talk to each other. It's just fun and not hurting anyone. ^_^

^ I agree with Nymph, DH really isn't that active so why take away some of the most active threads. Sure they may seem pointless but they serve different purpose. The feminine thread is where he can post pics of hot guys and fan girl over them. The Manly thread is for the girls to take over. The Harem is for Growly, how can we get rid of that. And Ji's it's just awesome.

As of right now the threads are fine. I've thought about merging the fem./manly threads.
The threads aren't a huge issue right now. There is space for more threads on the first page.

I do realize that the people who opt for no change are the people who constantly post in those threads. Perhaps we can get an occasional poster to comment so there will be no bias?
Also, I have to agree with Horyo. Merging the four would be beneficial. And I love the name.

Also, I have to agree with Horyo. Merging the four would be beneficial. And I love the name. Night the four threads will not be merged. That would simply not work. That would pretty much negate the meaning of the thread. Just because a few people don't like the threads doesn't mean they are bad. As I've said right now the only ones that would work merged are the manly fem threads. Which is something to consider. As of now they stay as is. edit: I just checked and their are 9 other threads on the first page. Several of which are what some would call OGB institutions or threads that have become standard issue. the photoshop thread, the rant thread, the weird dream thread. I think its easy to understand that the OGB has several institutional threads. That is how the OGB gneerally is , people have places they like they like to post and they do so. So I don't see anything outside of the norm for the OGB. I see no issue with the current threads. People are posting. For the most part its not spam. There is nothing wrong.

But the photoshop thread, rant thread and weird dream thread all have a topic/general theme.
The point of the thread doesn't change.
Ji, Manly, Feminine and Harem are four topics on absolutely whatever topic some random poster decides.
I agree with the others--ax Manly and Feminine. Keep Ji and Harem for historical value. xP
