this gets its own thread?

This forum gets lost because too many narrow topic threads get started that barely get two pages. New thread "Hey I found my glasses". About as dumb as "Where to buy shoes in Hamilton".

Can't we keep this stuff in like a general music discussion, general retail etc? It's like a new Decima poll comes out and its got its own thread, where there is already 8 threads talking about Harper, Iggy, the next election etc

Maybe I'm wrong but whatever. I'm okay with most of the discussions and it's become a good political forum too. However I do miss the architecture and Skyscraper part of skyscraperpage. I think its just the Hamilton section that gets like this and probably because we don't have any buildings over 10 floors to be talking about.

Steeltown?


nevermind Im hung over

i miss it too.

however, until there ARE more buildings over 10 floors to be talking about though, i think threads like this are fine though.

Why shouldn't this get it's own thread? it's in General Discussion, which is the forum you use to talk about anything miscellaneous. I posted it because some people (who don't listen to AOF and therefore would never hear this song) may find it interesting to read the lyrics and see all of the Hamilton references.

Umm, I think shoes was part of the shopping accessible by foot and hsr thread. If it wasn't, screw it. That stuff is important. I mean, shopping at local businesses does more for the city than talking about buildings that won't get built.

Also I think the problem is the way this board is structured. Nobody would ever go though the 15 subsections so everyone reads the top 10 threads like it's all one board. If it was split into just one section for threads about specific projects and one for general Hamilton discussion you could choose which threads to pay attention to without going through so many different boards. Not that it bothers me, I just use the top 10 and if there's a thread I don't care about, I don't read it.
