START AT POST #5, to see where post originally started:
Ok, I don't think Ethan should be relegated to the redshirts forum.
He's dearly departed... at least until he comes back. And,
Ethan was a plumber, and a doctor. And he hung Charlie in a tree. Just for that alone, he deserves some respect.
At least more respect than Paolo and Nikki. Who?
Ethan's a playa!

And Christian ? Havids are people too. C'mon people? Where's the love???

I agree. Ethan and Christian are so recurrent that they are virtually regular.
Not only did Ethan hang Charlie from a tree, but Christian haunted Jack to where he almost stumbled off a climb! :Cheers:

I thought I explained it well enough.
Previously, you could see the most recent post in the character forum from the main page. Now from the main page, you must open the character sub forum to see any of the most recent posts. Previously I could see whenever Khan posted something in the SMACKJACK thread while I sat on the main page, and then click and go directly to that thread. Now I have to open up one of the sub forums in order to see any of the most recent posts. I never knew navigating the C&CD boards was a problem before this change. Yes, it's now organized with deeper levels of sub-forum files, but as far as I am concerned it's just an extra step to take to see what thread might have recently had a post.
Plus, I just fear change.

Well... at least while sitting on the main page we can still see when posts have been made to the script threads.
If you click on "Main characters" it shows you the most recent post in all of the character subforums.
If you click on "Supporting characters" it shows you the most recent post in all of the subforums.
It doesn't show the one most recent on the main page, but you can still see who's been where.
You don't have to visit each and every character subforum to see the most recent.
Warthawg1
11-16-06, 03:50 PM
I know that, but when you click one of those sub forums, you then have to scan up and down the entire page reading time stamps listed by the most recent post in every single character sub-forum to see what might be new.
The character forums were not top on the activity list anyway, so often just seeing the one single most recent post was enough to let you know if anything new had been posted in the entire character forum.
Stop trying to spread sunshine on my cloud! It's not gonna work! I don't like this new over-organization, and character forum activity is already on the decline.

They are exactly where they should be...
They are in the pants chest of drawers... in the 5th drawer down which contains all the types of pants that begin from letters R-Z. After opening up that drawer, you will notice that there are color coded sub compartments going left from right, following the color spectrum beginning at white. Once you arrive at the blues, you will find that all the items there have been layered by date last worn with most recent on the very bottom to insure proper wearability rotation.

I kept saying, 'but, they weren't on the plane!' No one would listen. I didn't want them to have the same status as a Locke, or a Kate. So, I decided to redecorate. I really wanted them way down there in Redshirts and Recurring Characters forum, but someone grabbed one of my daughters and held her hostage until I relented.

Agreed on Faith Fay. In fact, there were actually season 1 visuals of her helping out the community and not bitching at Hurley, not stating the obvious in a ear-bursting high-pitched tone, and not dragging her dim-witted buddy along for the search so that he could utilize proper restroom facilities. Faith Fay even posted here. Excuse me, but wasn't her posting a plausible but unused opportunity for TLE?
Back to E & C. They are impressively recurrent, contribute importance to storylines, and are just creepy as hell and deeply sad and tragic, respectively.

Well there is apparently no sense in complaining. The responsible parties are just giggling.
From the main page, you can see if there is a new post in any (or all) of the character forums. All you need to do is watch for the icon to change color. No, you can't see WHO made the post, but if you set up your account correctly, you can see every forum that has been posted to all in one shot the minute you log on or refresh the page.
We're trying some things out. We do appreciate feedback.
Things are in a state of change, and your feedback is appreciated. We're making site wide changes, and some of it is experimental. Things will settle down, and I'm confident that we will settle on something that will be very workable.

Come on Warty, we're talking about one additional click.*I hope he doesn't find out about the other changes we're going to make. :shhh:*
And again SHBL, this was all done in deference to our main characters. Haven't you noticed, I have yet to bold Paulo and Nikki's names? I keep telling people, 'they weren't on the plane!'
I'm asking for the rest of the hiatus period to see how things go. You know I love you guys! If by then, you don't like things, we'll revisit the discussion. :love2: *I'm hoping they buy this. My daughters never do!*
I know that, but when you click one of those sub forums, you then have to scan up and down the entire page reading time stamps listed by the most recent post in every single character sub-forum to see what might be new.
But...doesn't the color of the icon by the subforum tell you if it's got new posts or not? If you mark the "main characters" subforum as read when you're done...when you go back, any character subforums with the different color icon mean there's new posts.
My complaint about it is still valid. Whereas previously I could pretty much notice any new post in the entire character forum with nothing but a quick glance while on the main page....
Can't you still do this by quickling glancing at the color of the icon by each character subforum too? You don't even have to click anything to tell if there's a new post.
I really don't get it (not trying to be a smartass).
Christian is not departed IMHO. He's more of a redshirt, if anything. He's been dead since Jack's early flashbacks in season 1, but keeps appearing regularly in Jack's flashbacks. Hell, not even just Jack's flashbacks.
Technically, he's dead. But it doesn't seem like it.
I view "Departed" more or less as "left the show except for maybe the occasional appearance", but Christian a lot for a "dead" character. He probably got more screentime in season 2 than Claire.
sawyerhasbestlines
11-17-06, 12:58 PM
^^^That's kind of my point.
Really, Ethan and Christian deserve their own character heading in Supporting Characters; regardless if they are dead or alive simply because their characters have impact and are (especially Christian) possibly central to the storyline.
Both characters generate plenty of threads scattered about T&S, General Discussion and the rest; enough to warrent them their own area. Especially if you want to compare them to characters like Bernard, Rose, Claire and Jin, Tom, Paolo, etc.
MC Gainey, Tom gets an area, Smokey gets an area. ???? Paolo and Nikki? But Christian and Ethan get nothing?
In my mind, Redshirts is an area for extras, or where the character is insignificant to the storyline. So if that's the case Paolo and Nikki should be in redshirts. It pisses me off that they get an area, and Christian and Ethan don't.
I think you got yourself into a box, when characters got divided if they are dead or not. That left Christian and Ethan relegated to the netherland or purgatory nothingness. They end up with nothing even though they are certainly more deserving of an area than MC Gainy, Bernard, and the rest. I equate them with Danielle.
sawyerhasbestlines
11-17-06, 01:17 PM
Let me ask you this: what was wrong with the old way?
Who cares if people are dead or not?
Who cares if they are subjectively defined as sub or main?
In a nutshell, it's about the posters, how we could find each other. Sometimes we are in 4 threads simultaneously having discussions. Now, it's like a long red light has been installed everywhere to get rid of traffic. We want traffic. That's how we played.
Hodge I feel for you regarding the Nikki & Paolo. You tried. But if those losers should get an area, so should Christian and Ethan. And not in redshirts. They are as much in the cast as Danielle. Redshirts is for extras or cast members who have little significance to the plotline.
You guys boxed yourselves into a corner when you started to define characters as dead or not dead. It's not relevant unless they are never going to be on the show again.

11-17-06, 01:50 PM
Seeing who made the post and exactly which thread was posted in can not be seen. Sorry if that is beyond anyones grasp! I was trying to not be a smartass, and my response was to open up a thread where people who didn't really like the new format to say such. I just don't really see the point in the changes. For example the T&S changes: I never even knew there was a problem until I saw one poster open up a thread complaining that their TLE speculation didn't have a lot of responses. Hint: If there is a lack of responses it might be because there are a lot of people not interested in anything based on the extended internet experience. Forcing it into the same sub-forum as non TLE speculation isn't going to change that.
If I'm wrong and a majority of people were clamoring for these changes, then so be it. I just never saw the need, and I don't really care for the new format.
I voiced my concerns, and never even mentioned the problem of people not liking which sub-forum certain characters got placed, which apparently also bothers a few peeps.

Thanks for the response.
I have 2 takes on this: First, we know that there are many characters involved with the show. The problem is what happens when Season 5 comes around and we have 15 new characters added since today. Do we have a sub-forum for each one? Possibly.
Second, I totally understand that both Ethan and Christian are parts of the sum of the show. However, how many threads are there out here that strictly deal with Christian and no one else, Ethan and no one else?
When I asked for the Smokie sub-forum, it was mainly to dredge up older threads for archiving. Many people do not go back past page 5 and fewer people back past page 10.
I am only getting feedback from members and not making decisions. I only can do some things and only have so much input.
However, thoughts and ideas are what I and others are looking for from the rest of you.
sawyerhasbestlines
11-17-06, 02:28 PM
Juanbong, there are about 120 Ethan threads floating around.
One of the Christian threads started by Clayseason, won an award. There are dozens of threads (not titled under his name - more like threadjacks) of people debating if he's alive or not, and discussing his lack of autopsy. At least if there was a consistent place you knew to go to, all those redundant conversations could be merged. There's also lots of threads about Christian's daughter.
Just for one second, step back and ask yourself why Tom should get a thread over Christian and Ethan. And ask the same of Miss Klugh, though I'm glad she has one. And ask yourself isn't Christian and Ethan about as relevant as Danielle and Alex. I'm not trying to get rid of Bernard's thread or any other character that has very little significance, just trying to create a place created for Christian and Ethan.
And besides, dead or alive, they've been relevant to the storyline for 3 seasons.....(ahem) unlike Paolo and Nikki.
Ethan and Christian are not extras, so shouldn't be in the redshirt area - the same place as Faith Fay and Cindy or Froghurt. At times they have as much relevance as a main character, certainly more than Claire.
I actually think they shoud be located in supporting characters, simply because of their relevance to the storyline, alongside Danielle. For the same reason, I think Desmond and Benry should be in main characters. But I understand there are people who don't follow theories and therefore don't make the connection that Christian may be one of the central characters key to the plotline. And so I can see from that point of view, they are a redshirt, an occasional character. (which is like Danielle or Alex, or Miss Klugh) If they have to be relegated to redshirts with the extras, at least give them an area.
See my all I want for Christmas thread.

Since my other thread got locked, I'll repost here:
an area for Christian, and Ethan.
If Danielle can get one, why can't Christian and Ethan?
If Nikki and Paolo (who only share a paragraph of text combined) can get one, then why can't Christian and Ethan?
If Ms Klugh can get one, why can't Christian and Ethan?
If Smokey can get one who has no lines at all, then why can't Christian and Ethan?
If Tom (who?) can get one,.....?
If Bernard, can get one, .....?
If characters killed off the show never to return can get one even though there's nothing anymore to talk about anymore (ahem) Ana Lucia, ....?
If Alex can get one, ....?

Valid point.
I for one am a researcher that goes back to older pages to try and find related topics or threads that can be merged or bumped for an occasional fresh pair of eyes. I have no problem with having a Christian sub-forum to archive material. Or an Ethan sub-forum.

I don't negate this point either. I think they are just as relevant as the next character. Well, I don't know about Ethan...:rolleyez: ;) (just kidding!)
Ethan and Christian are not extras, so shouldn't be in the redshirt area - the same place as Faith Fay and Cindy or Froghurt. At times they have as much relevance as a main character, certainly more than Claire.

Isn't this just like before? I realize that previously on the main page you were able to see which thread had the latest reply and by what user, but it didn't show you the latest post in every character subforum, so you had to click inside the main section anyway didn't you?
I think it's just a matter of perception. This format has a lot more functionality, but it takes a little getting used to. I'm finding it extremely useful with the different views available.
No real offense taken. I've just never been merged here before. I take great pains to avoid posting repetitive threads, but then again.. I generally take great pains to avoid making my own threads.
I think I've created two, and I had to merge my own thread into one of truff's just a couple weeks ago. ;)

You dont worry so much about merging when a new thread is locked. Happened to me once. Therapy cured me though.
The only problem that I have is that I occasionally enter Spoilers by mistake. If I take my eye off the road, they sit that close. No big deal though.

Meh spoilers.... can't avoid 'em here anyway. I try my best, but to no avail.
I know that, but when you click one of those sub forums, you then have to scan up and down the entire page reading time stamps listed by the most recent post in every single character sub-forum to see what might be new.
The character forums were not top on the activity list anyway, so often just seeing the one single most recent post was enough to let you know if anything new had been posted in the entire character forum.
Stop trying to spread sunshine on my cloud! It's not gonna work! I don't like this new over-organization, and character forum activity is already on the decline.

You can just click the Quick Link's menu and select Todays Posts and stop complaining because you can't find the most recent posts.

Well I just tried that, and it's not the greatest.
For example a thread that was posted as the latest in Arcades, was in actuality at the bottom of the page. But it was of the same day.

Or... you could just not waste any time worrying about my complaints. Complaining is a pastime around here, and I want in on the fun. TPTB here responded to complaints about the TLE T&S section being buried in the ghetto, so saying the same thing about the character forums is at least comparitively valid. ;)
