I still hold that the GD could have MORE intelligent topics. Most of it is still complete swill, and the ones that are actually decent are met with three responses and death. Zeth Durron 19:39, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Most of the intellectual talk goes on in Off Topic largely because it's a looser environment. People feel less constrained to keep to narrow topics and discussions flow freely. Why they feel this constraint in GD is beyond me.--CHU Dhampy 05:20, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

I imagine they feel that way because "a board that doesn't allow spam won't allow anything else". I personally think a lot of the old, fun topics we USED to have would be perfectly fine on GD. It's not just Spam topics that are fun, and people need to remember this.--FFQueen92 07:27, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

A lot of the old, fun topics we used to have on GD included 42's TCG and the penny game. Which are both totally spam topics. GD doesn't have as much discussion as OTD does because people on CHU are less likely to feel compelled to post about the global economy, we'd rather chill and talk about random stuff in SG or ammo. The whole GD strictness thing is largely exaggerated (imo), the only mod that really moves topics with any consistency is Darkish. Most mods figure that it's the OP's choice whether or not they want serious replies or laid-back and off-topic responses. Latiosmaster47 18:59, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
