I disagree, if you feel like that threads are trash then make a good one yourself. You cant expect someone to make a good thread just because you want quality. Thats stupid. If you want quality post then go in GD. Thats the place where you find Good topics to talk about and what do you think is a Quality thread which is suitable for Off-topic? You cant make shops everyday or padoru lore everyday. Even a lore get boring if stretched it out for long time.

Its same as, "OT! is dead". Which not gonna help
GD is dead.

To be completely honest, if we go by the engagement here, this thread is of better quality than the other recent threads.

But that begs the old question from the Denizenship Drama:

What is Quality?

yeah thats the problem

Something can be quality for one and not for the other.
Like for me, there has been many good threads. For example, Padoru lore, Song festival, dPeace thread and many more

Telling someone to post in GD should be considered a felony

srsly tho, are ppl afraid to make threads cause they fear their threads will flop?

Off-Topic = Dumb funny threads

I'm okay with the current state of OT right now. You have hi effort threads and events such as the OT! got talent, the OT! map collab, or even the Tier List thread. For me it shows some quality in OT.

About the repetitive threads such as the ones with title changes every day, I think they should be keep as it avoid flooding mediocre and uninteresting threads by putting them all together into a single thread.

It was originally made for discussion that doesn't goes into any other subforum and unlike OT, discussions are supposed to be serious. In reality, GD is just dead, there's almost no serious discussion...

But it fills a space with mediocrity anyway.
If it didn't exist, nobody would be motivated with making a thread with mediocre concepts such as:

It's January 2nd

(Taken from dPeace's title change thread)

Before you guys yell at me for writing a hit piece, I'll just clarify that I understand why these thread titles are so half assed. The whole concept of the thread is "Quick! Think of an Idea every single day!". I know they might enjoy keeping the thread up, but it doesn't change the following fact:

You wouldn't want to make a thread like this in the first place, if daily title change threads did not exist, these wouldn't even be on the site.

These threads could be great, but the frequency that a title change is required, devolves it to the point where one of the titles ends up being "this is a title change!!!".
Want proof that a longer frequency would benefit these threads? Look at Keremaru's take on it. Whether intentional or not, it's not as actively changed as these 2 are. The topics he brings up are detailed and usually somewhat interesting, and is slightly more meaningful to interact with.

It's not a crime to make a mediocre thread, alot of my threads are mediocre, but having a large thread filled with them doesn't solve any issues. If it did, this thread complaining about OT's state wouldn't exist.

A note to dPeace and Sebastian
I'm not against your threads, nor am I against you. If what I've said offends you in anyway, then I truly apologise. I still think you both are creative people, and I still respect the both of you on this platform.

not every ot thread will please everyone, I personally enjoy the title changing threads, if there are still threads that you enjoy, just post in those and not the ones you dislike, I believe that is the best mindset to have

This is probably the first time I agree with goat man here, there's at least 1 event going on at each times since october or something and interactive threads that lead to actual discussion like OTierLists.
As for title changing threads it was fine when there was one, I don't really understand why people created more.

Also trends are what makes OT alive in a way, they're usually contained in a small period of time during which people just follow the trend. Some are just a one time thing that you can look back at and say "I was here" while others come back like a holiday or something.

Lore and RP doesn't seem as important to newer dwellers as it is to boomers older denizens but it's fine by me. It can be fun but having it all over OT would suffocate non-lore threads and make it harder for new people to fit in.

I agree that some titles are shit but just like patatitta said if you don't like it don't reply to it.
If the daily title isn't interesting you can simply ignore it and wait for the next title.
Also the fact that they are ephemeral is what allows them to have semi-interesting titles that wouldn't make a good long lived thread. They can be a short lived thing and it's fine because the title is gonna change the next day.

Totally agree, that applies to necros too, if you don't like it don't reply saying "I don't like it". You're just feeding the troll.

In a sense I agree with this, periods where a lot of things happen, whether it's lore or drama, is the period where no new posters are capable of breaking in to OT.

Not just new people tbh, I was less active for like a week when it started and was completely lost with all the stuff going on so I just gave up trying to participate in it.
When I came back after more inactivity it had devolved into a whole series of events historians couldn't decipher.
For new people it probably just looks like actual drama or a sect of weirdos.

Would be fun to see, it may bring some new people here and might even get some OT dwellers to go to GD and revive it somehow

I can relate to this, I originally got into OT for the shitposting aspect, just having fun in the super low effort threads and forum games. I came in kinda in the middle of the 4th padoru war, and wasn't able to interact with it properly for a very long time because it was so overwhelming, and it felt too established. The tournaments were also pretty hard to get into, for a lot of them the social barrier felt very high as a person that didn't know anyone else.

Best case scenario would be to have a huge variety of threads all the time to cater to everyone, but as OT is fairly small and largely operates as a collective with people cycling in and out, this isn't really that possible as trends that dominate OT come and go. I think the best thing we can do is to continually try to create interesting and creative threads so that OT doesn't become stale and continues to evolve, and through seeing which threads flop and which threads succeed as well as the discussion around them (like this thread), we can keep attempting to improve this subforum.

Manishh just be straight up YELLING. Wonder who got the worst impression in the first couple of months huh.

Oh and the events. Yes they are all there, all being someone’s effort, but they die out way too fast. Anything not on the first page can be considered dead. Events that require the participants’ time and effort usually don’t go anywhere.

Non-sensical does not equal garbage. We can be daydreaming about all sorts of stuff, and not think about what piles of trash to dig into.

We’ve said this place is like a dumpster fire, but I think that’s slowly becoming reality.
