Why don't we have a general thread about doa 6?

[Cadaveri]

There's one way to lower the hype/discussion for doa 6 right now and that's closing/locking/not having a general main thread here on FSD.

2 things will happen:

A) People will go to alternative sites to discuss about doa6 (and doa)
B) There will be very minimal discussion overall

Meanwhile at 8wayrun they got general discussion thread with ~323k views & ~3.5k replies (sure SC6 is ahead of DOA6 in development and news, but still...)

But hey at least our most popular thread now is about DOA6 Sexualization Discussion monkaS

I know some people here are very passionate about their opinions etc and It can be hard to moderate, but then hire more mods(??)

I would really like a general thread as well. The one i made on another site got locked for a really dumb reason and now i dont have a main-hangout to discuss DOA6. Would be great if we could get one.

Why do you need a general thread when you have a general board?

harder to keep track of new messages If you ask me

I think thats just down to DOA6 not really being discussed all that much here. For whatever reason.

The trailer thread was active, a general discussion would get some posts as well. At least its worth a try.

Considering what happened to the last Casual thread, I am pretty sure a General thread, even one specifically for DOA6 will have the same problem. Its probably best to keep discussions on specific topics to avoid derailing one general thread.

not true, It was discussed a lot in the trailer thread that got locked

But eventually, the discussion strayed beyond just the trailer to other DOA6 related topics which is exactly why it got closed.

The exact opposite, actually.

The problem with having one thread as a general dumping spot is that it becomes incredibly difficult to navigate if you're looking for specific information or discussions. When posting in separate threads, users can read/contribute to the topics that interest them, rather than having to sift through an endless sea of irrelevant nonsense and shit-posting (which comprises the vast majority of posts in such threads). You can choose not to read the thread, but then you risk missing out on the bits of discussion that do interest you or run the risk of redundancy by asking/discussing subjects that have already been exhausted many times over.

The thread you criticized, for example, was created for the sole purpose of quarantining that discussion so that users aren't forced to endure that drivel in every thread they enter.

Ye I can totally see it from this perspective as well. Still I see it as a hype/discussion killer not to have a bigger general thread. These smaller threads/topics sometimes don't get a lot of responses therefore lack discussion, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PS. Does FSD have a discord?

How is one gigantic mess of a thread easier to navigate? There's no organization.
