There are way too many general boards online. Can't you go there for general and come here to discuss Tolkien?

The point of General isn't that your talking about general things, it's that your talking about general things with the other mooters.

Yeah, what makes the entmoot GM different from other general boards is the people you meet here (a lot sure are witty and weird, in a way I like).
I guess that if this GM is closed, I'll just drift towards Crossroads of Arda more often like what A-E said for the non-tolkien-related posts.

Don't worry, nothing will be done unless the administration is unanimous, and my current feeling is pro-GM...

I won't leave, I'll just post somewhere where many mooters congregate to post on topics that might not know a place here. What's great with OS's these days is that you can be connected to several URL's at once.
BTW, if GM is closed, I'm seeing the Entertainment and General Lit Sections getting heavier traffic; and possibly more spamming. Happy pondering and deciding...

Hobbit I think you misunderstood
we can jump to crossroads to discuss things that you would block here whats this talk of loyality? couldn't it be said that we are all here for fun " in the broad sense" and that you are being unloyal to the mooters by closing down a section that we like. aside from the admin has there been complaints from mooters about spamming Closing the GM. changing the number of post. Its your board yes. But why did you create a gm thread and number of post t in the 1st place?

hey hobbit maybe it might make better sense with this anology
you open a store that specializes in tolkien goods and you have other things too. After awhile everybody have bought most of your tolkien stuff and start buying other things. people still come to the store to hang out and buy stuff but not as much tolkien. the owners say hey this is a tolkien speciality store, so we want you to by tolkien stuff. The constomer says yes but we've bought most of your tolkien stuff we like your store we still wanna come but there's only so much tolkien stock the owners say it doesn't matter what you think we are gonna close the general goods the customers say ok we can buy are general goods at other stores then the customers are called dis-loyal that's BS

In Darth Tater's opinion, a newbie is someone who registered after December 19th. Period. I personally disagree, and think that even recent converts to Tolkien and/or Entmoot can still be valuable additions to the community.
Aldesign, you made nice points too, but I did remember emplynx's analogy while replying. I think afro-elf's analogy is even better. If you look at boards that allegedly don't have a miscellaneous area, you'll find plenty of unrelated topics in the content forums. There's just no way to stop people from talking about other things without seeming incredibly harsh.
