Time to put the Water Cooler into storage

Posted by False Prophet
136 days ago


I know I've been kinda inactive recently (I'm trying to avoid AGM bc it's a massive time suck and I have stuff that I'm busy with), but after discussing it with a couple other users, I think it's time to put the into the storage room. It was a good idea on my part, but given that I got confirmation from Wikia that in no time in the near future could we expect them to do any programming for us, I think it's time to accept the reality that the Water Cooler should go the way of the XFL (at least for now) for a couple reasons:

First, it's not really feasible given the fact that it's not integrated into the site. There's no navigation thing, and it has none of the neat skins/stuff that other pages have.

Second, not everyone is using it. There are discussions in the Lockerroom now that technically would belong in the Water Cooler.

Third, there's not enough content to warrant a separate category. My hope was that a specific section would kinda spur some discussion, but to no avail.

Anyways, I'm gonna close down the Water Cooler Monday or Tuesday unless someone has a compelling reason why not. This isn't meant to be a place for users to rant and bitch about how they called it all along, so don't make it into that. I just figured I'd post it first in case someone had some major objection.

Also, assuming we close the water cooler, do we want to move all the Water Cooler pages into the Lockerroom or leave them as is?

I don't think that it should be closed down indefinitely if it's not doing any harm to AGM or the community. However, I still support your decision since you made a couple of valid points, especially since there should be some lockerroom topics that belong in the Water Cooler, but, instead, have been created as lockerroom topics.

I think it's a good idea... for now. Once we are able to get a "Water Cooler" tab next to the locker room, we should good to go with that...

Thanks, FP, for notifying us.

Long story short...


Many of you were right....we got persuaded and realized you WERE right. There is virtually little traffic on AGM to warrant anything like the Water Cooler.

Remember, its ok to admit you were wrong unless you're Manny Stiles !*^@^*&!!! In my case, I never admit I'm wrong because I'm a pig headed, elitist, douchebag who refuses to admit I'm wrong against all possible evidence!*&T%%&!^!%*!!!

You should do some research before pretending to have a clue. I admit I'm wrong about lots of things... all the time.

Can you unlock the Hot Links so they don't need sysop approval? Maybe some of the WC information can move there. Of course the sysops will spend a lot of time removing SPAM.

Why can't we just make you a sysop, Cheez? ;) (I'll talk to Sannse)

AND a "link admin"... since those two things are different.
