The "PLEASE READ RE: Site Conversion" sticky in the Shrapnel general forums can be replied to. That's the "official" place.

I was afraid someone might say that. That my head was being bitten off because of the need to "jump back and forth replying to both threads", when the other thread has 9 entire posts in it.

I am not overreacting. I'm not being rude or belligerent. I am voicing opinions, which seem to be largely agreed with. These posts could be made in that other thread, but it really does seem to be more used so far for bug response. These aren't software malfunctions, they're just human issues.


And Gandalf, I'm not saying that all requests to take a discussion private are bad. When they are largely an argument/debate/whatever between 2 people, then sometimes it's best done in private. When it's a matter of "public order", then requests to take it private are generally just the easy way out to squelch dissent. I don't think it's strange to want to use a "forum" as a venue for public discussion.

Now, if the Admins wish to openly state that they no longer want the format or regulation of the forum to be discussed publicly at all - well, again, I do not think that solves any problems, not in the long term.

Now that I had the time to read through the entire thread I can tell you that it's even being linked to in the second page of this thread but you're right that this discussion thread seems to have taken over that role and the official thread is more like just an announcement.
