Posts from Should we have a beer-drinking contest at HW? Auto-translated

Many posts because you forgot to close it) Now you remembered.

Forgot? You closed it :)

Why not close it (to avoid further clutter and to do things properly) and open a new one?

What does "properly" mean? And what do the moderator rules say about closing the Tavern after a flood-fest?))
Besides, the first post says that THIS IS A BAR nearby, not a bar SPECIFICALLY for FLOOD-FESTS.... sort of.

I don't understand... Ar was moderating everything all summer, and only noticed the "pub" now... It's completely illogical. By the way, considering the fact that he also said something like, "once the Heroes of Might and Magic forum is up and running, we'll close the 'hero chat' thread, but the 'pub' will remain so that people can chat about any topic through the forum." If you try hard, you might even be able to find that post.

forgot everything (although there was no one here back then), but I remembered)). *what a great guy I am* ^_^

After the flood-scar, they wanted to close it, and they were planning to. (this is written in the flood-scar or the pub... I don't remember exactly)

Vikh, my opinion about historical values (monuments of "architecture") has changed... now I think that they should be preserved and left in the form in which they were created. (in general, I've become better) is that okay? )))

P.S. and the GC was closed by the Creator himself... and I doubt he will allow something like GC to be created, because there is a regular chat.
P.P.S. it's not worth looking for, because I remember it myself... but it's better to close it than to turn it into a mess.

Beer is a must! Because it's much easier to find something you were talking about there. And not all messages fit in the chat. And here, a large post, and a REALLY large post won't be too much of a hindrance (unless, of course, the post is 40,000 characters long).

And besides, the tavern is a unique thing; you won't find it anywhere else :P
It carries a certain spirit within it.

Whirlwind, +1, I'll give it to you as soon as the restrictions are lifted. And, as I already said, I don't see any point in changing the name, because it's original.

Or maybe rename the pub to Tavern X, to make it more heroic? Okay, I agree – that’s silly.

you are right to think about the title... because why have two topics with the same name? *confused*

Maybe we should rename the pub to Tavern X, to make it more heroic? Okay, I agree – that’s silly.

That would be great, but Tavern is already taken by HeroesPortal (damn them, I agree).

The word "tavern" has been used by everyone, even the laziest. It's already deeply ingrained.
But you can see my opinion in the poll results.
I don't see the point in a topic where no one writes, nor do I see the point in closing it, as if it's bothering anyone.
Ultimately, neither one nor the other will help the hungry people of Africa.

and in general, leave Arandor alone. Maybe he's just having a bad day, perhaps even a critical one, and he decided to fill it with "righteous work" to do something useful. It didn't work out, of course, but that's okay. He'll play around and stop. Or they'll make him stop, by removing the green tint from his nickname.

and in general, don't touch Arandor. maybe he just had a bad day, possibly even a critical one, and he decided to fill it with "righteous work" to do something useful. it didn't work out, of course, but that's okay. he'll play around and then stop. or they'll make him stop, by removing the green tint from his nickname.

Ha-ha. I'm feeling down, what's next? I try to do things so that no one notices, and I don't take it out on others. Both in real life and online.

I wouldn't say that AR "went wild" on the forum... hmm... by closing the thread. Personally, I'm not bothered by the reason for closing the thread (even though it was a bit late, but everything is fine from a formal point of view), but by the pretext. If I understand correctly, someone started spamming heavily in the thread (something like posts containing a single emoji, a single word, etc.). IMHO, this is unacceptable in the "What Fans Love About Heroes" section, but quite acceptable in the actual "Off-Topic" section, especially considering that after creating additional sections about movies, books, etc., many serious topics that don't allow such spam have been moved to the corresponding sections. Well, never mind, that's not what we're talking about. The main point is that there must be a place for off-topic discussions on the forum, in other words, a thread without restrictions (except for swearing, trolling, and everything else). The question of whether such a thread will be in the "Off-Topic" section doesn't even need to be asked. The problem is different: it's quite obvious that the "Pub" section is the most suitable for this. And if you really want to separate the glorious memory of the "Flood Scar" from "pure spam," then you can (it will be tedious, but I wouldn't say it's very long) move all the posts from the "Flood Scar" era to a new thread, and leave the "Pub" for "pure spam." If, of course, you want a compromise. Otherwise, just create a new off-topic thread and don't worry about it.

Paraphrasing a classic, Arandor reminisces about the past days and battles, recalling who they fought against. Ar, you should have thought about it earlier; now it's too late. The "flood scare" has long been forgotten, but the "pub" remains and thrives, which is normal and not scary. If you really want to preserve the memory of the "flood scare," either listen to Major or simply start a new topic; otherwise, more negative memories will remain than positive ones, because it led to the closure of a beloved topic for many. Few contests leave behind such a legacy that will live on forever.

Okay, smart guys and gals ;) Let's get this straight:

1) The "Pub" was supposed to be closed after the "Flood-Chat" ended... but we decided to keep it as a place for normal conversations, maybe sometimes heartfelt ones, or to discuss problems... like a club, where anyone can come)... THAT'S WHY WE KEPT IT! Not to turn it into a garbage dump!!! There's a chat for all the "Nya" and other nonsense!
This means that the "Pub" was meant to be something other than an offline chat, with its own boundaries... besides, there was the "Global Chat" which replaced a normal chat. When they made a regular chat, they closed the "Global Chat"... why? Probably because offline chats are prohibited (or something like that, and there's also a built-in one)... and now you want to (or have started to) turn the "Pub" into a second "Global Chat"... why? So that it can be closed too?... Don't you like the old, fun conversations?
In that case, I'd rather close it as an extension of the "Flood-Chat" than watch this topic decay and be closed as a breeding ground for idiocy, which is already abundant in the chat.

Do you want to create a new "flood zone"? GO AHEAD!... but will it suffer the same fate as the "Global Chat"?

2) For those who are "better" than me...
Well, yeah, maybe it's bad to defend my interests and preserve what's important to me in the best possible way... and maybe it's stupid, right?... and even more stupid than a group of people "joking" about someone for six months, distorting their nickname... well, yeah, of course, I agree... there's so much meaning in that... and most importantly, it's so useful!!!... (all for those who are "better" than me... that was sarcasm.)

P.S. You are killing the "Pub" yourselves! with your attitude towards it... originally, it was something for our group (the regulars of the social/entertainment section), but you apparently got tired of it and wanted to turn it into an offline chat, which gets closed... well, yeah, why have a normal conversation in a normal place? Let's just ruin it! Let them close it, like the previous two...
P.P.S. I just wanted to preserve the "Pub" in the form it was created and with the atmosphere it had...

1. Well, Ar, if you're really that upset about people mispronouncing your nickname, then I apologize; I won't call you that way anymore (although getting upset over such a small thing...).
2. As I understand it, we won't be able to bring back the "tavern." Should we start creating something like a "smoking area," a "pub," or some other nonsense now?
