I can't control that (It's a Greg thing, maybe also a Darren / Sky thing) but I'd recommend doing a search for "Kiefer", "Bauer", or "Sutherland" if you want the 24 thread.

Oh wise and wonderful mods, i'm in need of your assistance in the Adrift thread. I'm trying to spell out the name of a country, but the computer thinks i'm being racist. I don't want people to think i'm being naughty, could you help please and thankyou

[Skydiver]

lemme guess
n i g e r i a

If it is a legitimate name of a country, try putting in spaces and that should allow you to post

[Pegasus_SGA]

Close! N i g e r hehehe i'll try that. Thank you"

With the huge outcry over the new casting changes, any chance we can have an Anti-Season 5 SGA thread now?

*pretty please*???

[Skydiver]

if, IF, IF there is an anti s5 thread or a 'i hate' thread the mods will start it, so that we can lay down the rules

[Shipperahoy]

The subject of an anti season 5 thread is currently being discussed amongst the mods. When we reach a decision we'll post it.

[FoolishPleasure]

How about a poll in the SGA Season 5 section? Something similar to this:

Who would YOU put in charge of Atlantis:

Richard Woolsey

Col. Caldwell

Daniel Jackson

Elizabeth Weir (never should have left)

Other

Please no Anti or Pro threads for Season 5! If people are going to stop watching why would they even post in the S5 section? I hate Ghost Hunters and don't watch that show, why would I post in that forum?

[Skydiver]

I sure know how to pick the shows I like . Why isn't there an Andromeda section ?

andromeda is basically a dead show. the odds of it getting its own section is slim to none

because, brian, sometimes all people want is a 'safe haven' to squee or rant to their hearts content.

the fun of being in a group dynamic, trying to understand and accomodate as many members of the group as possible, even the ones you don't agree with.

You are also making the presumption that any that don't like stuff never watched the show or don't watch it. many do watch and mourn what they've lost.

Well I think pro and anti character threads would be fine. I just feel that both general Anti and Pro have gotten very hostile. Not saying I am an angel, I've been pushed and have pushed back, hard, lol. Plus I feel members on both sides are being attacks directly and indirectly.

As per the character threads, a perfect example,

I post a lot on the Pro Weir thread, people can support Weir and be upset about the season, but not everone is upset at the season or the show like me. We just have a similar desire....... more Weir! People who hate Weir have the Anti Weir thread.

[Skydiver]

that's just it....people 'push' you and you push back

WHY?

Why is there this need to push back? So people don't like the changes. they're supposed to shut up and go away???? Or just keep thier mouths shut and never say a 'wrong' word...course, 'wrong' really means 'disagrees with me'

I'm not picking on you brian, and i'm not going to debate this, but 'intolerance towards those that don't like the show' is not the mark of a 'better' fan... people like it, people don't. fact of life. Nothing exists that everyone loves.

If people would stop 'pushing' or 'pushing back' this forum as a whole would be a heck of a lot nicer.

If people get enjoyent from coming together over thier misery, let them have it. It's no better than those that get their enjoyment coming together over thier joy.

People need to lose thier 'i'm a better kind of fan than you' attitude.

If we choose to make dedicated pro/anti threads for season five, we will make them and people will get over it and accept it.

[Skydiver]

and back to questions of hte mods please.

[Major Tyler]

Hey ya'll, this is not a discussion/debate thread.

[Jill_Ion]

Please no Anti or Pro threads for Season 5! If people are going to stop watching why would they even post in the S5 section? I hate Ghost Hunters and don't watch that show, why would I post in that forum?

So where would one reply, besides PMs, to Skydiver's post above about the anti/I hate threads?
