It's just a bad new phase. But you can't seriously just end all collab threads. There are good things that come out of them.
Plus, it's not as if the Flash forum is that interesting without collabs. Just a bunch of repeat question threads.

....which is what the Flash forum is there for. Some collabs (like those run by Luis) are fine, but too many users with no Flash on the Portal are starting collabs because they think it's a quick and easy way to get known. It's getting to the stage recently where more than 50% of the first page in Flash is collab threads, which means that when someone comes in with an actionscript question, it often gets knocked down to Page 2 before anybody even reads it.
I don't agree with deleting/locking ALL collab threads, but I'd like to have an effective way of preventing them from dominating the Flash forum.

It is a little out of hand how many there are, but it's nice to see collabs getting more popular at least.

Actionscript questions are generally the only types of questions that should get their own thread. But most of the questions you find are along the lines of"how do I make a button?" or "how do I add music?"

Alright, just limit collab making abilities to those that have shown they are capable. That's fair enough.

Oh no! I completely don't want that!
I, like probably almost everybody, want to find a way to prevent pointless collabs and keep the good ones. I LOVE collabs!
Tommorow i'll finish my unblieveably annoying flash that I wanted to eat it so i'm gonna then think of a good collab... Yeah, and if I can make 8 minutes THE SAME as an episode froma TV show in flash, a collab is a piece of cake. But unlike many others, it will be more orginized!
hopefully :o

True. And back then, just how many sig threads were there in General? Not a whole lot. I was also a bandwagon whore back then. It was even in my sig for awhile.
I realise template sigs will be popular, and I don't begrudge anyone building up their collection. But when they start to overrun the General forum, it's time to nudge all the budding artists in the right direction, which is the C+C forum, and the threads devoted to making people sigs.

Yeah, but this has been along time coming now if only would put an end to those "PhotoShop *insert picture here*" topics the BBS would be 30 extra percent spam free.

Naw, those get tired after a while because you get the smae people asking for sigs everyday. Its like I just made you a sig stop asking for another one then on top of that the people that ask for sigs think they can just hang out in the thread and just post about nothing. You MOD's should really check that out thats the reason I retired from NG's sig making and leaft the ASM. Yeah Chromius said it best sigs stopped being fun when people were making parody threads of the SSM instead of trying to join the SSM.

Anybody want a sig was in general Maus. Remeber we as sig makers were here before the Clubs and Crews board was even created. Yeah look at my signup date predates the C&C. Yup back in my Darkblueflame days.

Whatever happened to you control freaks in C+C making that sig whore list? I distinctly remember talk of that.
Whenever the mods DO step in unasked, all we get in return is a bunch of resentment and backtalk. Very rarely do I get an email from ANYONE in C+C (there are exactly TWO that let me know when someone is causing trouble in their thread.)
This next bit is directed at C+C in general:
We aren't here to police every single thread that goes on in that forum. In C+C, you all have 'leaders' and 'presidents' and whatnot. Take some responsibility on your own shoulders to keep your threads cleaned up. Most of you have no actual power to DO anything about spammers and sig whores. Let us know about it. You guys know which mods frequent C+C. Even if you have to wait a couple of hours for a spammer to be taken care of, isn't that better than never?

I doesn't really help because someone makes another sig topic and that sig whore goes there and says SSM sucks make me a sig. The person sees that as a chance to 1up us and they get another sig. Nothing learned at all.

Well I can only speak for myself but I would have loved if a MOD would have stepped in and did something and I don't think the creators of the SSM (me being apart of them) would have said anything. At one point we wanted Shrike to join the SSM partially because hes awesome and more so because he was a MOD and would scare of sig whores and spammers.

The C&C is like a spamming void and I have to give mad respect to ramagi for doing here part there to keep it clean. But yeah everybody has to do there part to keep the C&C clean. I'm in the Rap Crew and we mostly stay spam free because one we have a good leader and two because we message MOD's regulary when we get spam.
And Maus don't worry your one of my favs <3. Well thats it for my posting in here for another 10 mintues.

I've just got my temporary mod email public in my profile, most of you know I frequent C & C as well. So if you see a problem, feel free to report it to me. But Maus is right, you have to police your own stuff, and if you're a regular of C & C, then you have a responsibility to get a hold of someone with power to either help you police, or take care of crappy threads. I'm just as unhappy with the way C & C becomes spammy as much as the rest of you, that's why I'm trying to be like ramagi and police it a little bit more when I'm here.

Finnaly a stop to those damn sig threads! Ther getting annoying.
I think that the sig threads in the general forum offer the best sigs there are, if they weren't, do you think so many people would get a sig that everyone has?

Thaat's what I thought. As a side note, you need to get an up-to-date transalting dictionary. We haven't used 'vulgar' like that since the 1800's. :)
Thanks, avie, for backing me up. I remember I banned a couple of people for 'flaming' in a thread, and it turned out they were just joking, when I was first modded. If we aren't part of a crew, we don't know the dynamic of the group that inhabits a crew. Contrary to popular belief, we mods do not read every single thread, nor do we now of all the petty tiffs and dramas y'all got going on. You can't expect the entire mod crew to mod your section. ramagi does the most there. I only help a bit. She's fair, yet unyielding, and I give her props for that. However, I'm sure she'd like more help. And that's where the 'leaders' and 'presidents' step in. RUN YOUR CREW CORRECTLY. As I said, you guys know which of us read C+C regularly......

No. There are too many quality ratings threads out there today. Just recently we had three ratings threads where they were interactive and the people actually actively respond to the thread at hand.
Plus Zerok's thread is sexy in it's most extreme form. (Tons of good conversation going on in there, legitimate requests abound, obscene rating usually lasting two pages). Oh, and finally there aren't rating threads in other forums that offer the same service. yet, anyway.
Only thing I can think of that sucks is that SadicSchoolGirl never responded to her review.
Oh, and Zerok: chances are 0. :-(
Woah, 5 pages. Time to squeeze my otherwise now useless thoughts on this. While I understand your reasoning for getting rid of sig topics, I think this is a great example of a few apples spoiling the bunch. When you say that 99.5% of sig topics were terrible, I think you're basing that off of your entire opinion. Of course if you don't make a request, then you usually don't think the sigs are any good, but that's not the same opinion of the people who do make requests. Second, the option of making sigs in the ASM, SMG, or BSM is not going to make anything easier. I've surfed through those topics for a bit while I was banned this weekend, and it was otherwise ard to find requests and make sure 3 or 4 other people were already working on them. I think you'll see a lot of people getting undercutted when it comes to that. Also, the clubs leave the option of themed sigs out. Of course, I was preparing to make a series of Family Guy sigs with like 30 characters, but I guess i'll just delete all the templates/characters now. So while I see that you're attempting to lessen the burden of sig topic floods in general, I honestly think this is only a decision to convience your work so that you don't have to lok over more topics. As for the person who sid they wanted to also get rid of Photoshop topics, what you really need to get rid of is MS Paint, which is queering up most topics/contests. But of course I've petitioned numerous times for an image forum, but whatever.
