With the addition of the new movies forum, it got me thinking, why don't we have a music forum????

Also, while I'm on the subject of new forums, we should also have a (strongly watched) [Political] Issues Forum. I know this has been suggested before and I know the reasons why it was denied. The main reason was that people would just bash political leaders, which would lead to pissing people off, which would lead to people leaving the sight. Well my idea for that is to have people just talk about the issues and say what they think. So instead of having threads that said, "Bush Sucks" you would have threads being, "Your immigration polocy" or something of the sort. If someone just came in that forum to bash, then maybe a punishment would be they couldnt post in that forum anymore. Another problem I think that has been said is who would moderate it. What you could do is have either an existing or new moderater watch over it OR if you cant do that, then have members that want to see this type of forum stay clean (like me) report bad posts. Please take both my requests seriously, and if you have any questions plz ask.

Thx~ New_U.S.

And each other. One of the biggest problems is the flame wars that will develop, which end up leaving everyone mad and resentful. The best way to avoid that? Don't have one of those forums. At least, not when we have a large group of young, relatively immature members....

Then couldnt you have one of your rules be dont try to bash anothers idea? If you oppose it you would have to state real facts as to why another idea is better. The rules of this forum would be those of a real debate, you can't call someone a dumbass and think your gunna win. Those are the types of posts that would be reported.

We already have that rule. Go ahead. Try flaming someone NOW. See what happens. :) The problem is that most people don't want to present a reasonable argument. The majority of the members probably won't be able to deal with an actual debate. They want to force their idea on others and they want to be right all the time. I don't think it would be pretty. But, I'd love to be proved wrong. A debate forum would be great. Just have to worry about those who will try to crash the party. :rolleyes:

Not all forums are for all people. If people get out of hand then I guess thats what mods are for. And if its too bad then it can be closed. You say you would want to be proved wrong, that the members on this sight could handle it. The best way to see if they can is to have a short trial period with this type of forum.

Also, is the Music Forum in consideration?

Either way, it's not my decision to make. I think I might be amiable to a short testing period, but I wonder what the chances are of that. :rolleyes:

The idea has been thought of.

Yes, a music forum is in consideration - that is why the new Entertainment section was created. There is no time table on that though as well as no time table on the adjustment of the side nav bar to reflect that. It will be done but please understand we are in the process of moving to a new server and I am extremely busy in Real Life. It will happen when it happens. Thanks.

Music Forum sounds like a bad idea to me.
Too much arguing to occur...
Like, I will say Linkin Park sucks, another person will say they rock, and try to make me change my opinion, yadda yadda yadda.

One could say that about the Movies forum. Or the Games forum. Or GD. Or the WoW forum. Or.... People can disagree about almost anything. So far, we seem to be doing pretty well. The thing is that a polical forum basically screams, "FLAME HERE!!" This is due to the controversial nature of the topics.

Better use of words prevents flame wars. Saying your not a fan of something is smarter then saying something sucks.

Agreed. But will people do that? Unfortunately, probably not. You never know, though. :rolleyes:

Well, music tastes can be COMPLETELY different. Games are usually agreed upon of what's good, what's not. WoW forum there's lots of flaming, lol. As for GD I have no idea what that is.

Yep. As well as, "I hate Horror movies, and if you like them, you're an idiot!"

> Games are usually agreed upon of what's good, what's not.

If you say so. :p

> As for GD I have no idea what that is.

General Discussion. Non-forum-specific flaming. :)

Is there staff meetings or something of the sort that agrees upon these sort of this and say if they will or will not happen. Or is it just, "it will happen when it happens". I really want to know if any of these ideas will take effect.

Why? Would there be any point? Other than telling everyone else, "Hey! There's a new forum coming!" :rolleyes:

I think with that one post, you killed... 80% of your credibility. At least.

But that's just me. I'm just Seth Cross.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
