How are you planning on breaking the news?

when are you planning on telling people? Are you doing it in a fun way?

jatwal128 · September 2016

this has already been discussed at length on a different thread.

alliemac-2 · September 2016

Oh okay. How do I delete this?

pshaortao · September 2016

You can't delete the thread but you can turn it into a gif party instead.

alliemac-2 · September 2016

I'm so new to that haha. How do I do that?

pshaortao · September 2016

Just change the title and post to gif party!! or a fun gtky question. Otherwise it just look like a dirty delete.

alliemac-2 · September 2016

Done and done!!

@alliemac I'm a little confused about this. I looked at your history, and when I looked you hadn't posted an intro or anything in the May 2017 board. Maybe you have since I glanced, but I'm already skeptical of a Facebook group anyway. I'm not going to join a group created by someone I don't know at all.

I see it was changed after I had started typing. I walked away at work and came back to finish my post, and I didn't know the title was changed or edited. Oops. Sorry

So very confused. Was the title another question about an FB group and then it changed to "how will you announce?" which also has it's own thread? I demand a gif party!

I mean. What's wrong with having a new thread on the same topic?

jatwal128 · September 2016

It's more so another thread on the same topic in such a short amount of time. The board could get crazy cluttered really quickly that way and it's hard to have a community discussion when there are several threads for the same topic. People aren't going to want to repeat themselves in each thread.

Seems like a lot of silly rules.

Welcome to The Bump!

Yay! Party!!!

Although, I'm a total homebody, so my idea of a lot of fun might be more like this

Not really. Imagine you're with a group of 10 friends and you've all watched together and then thoroughly discussed the twists and turns of a specific show or movie. The conversation has ended, you've all moved on to new topics and literally 5 minutes later, a person begins the exact same show and same conversation. Do you really want to partake in it again? If anything, go jump into the old conversation, and see if there's anything new to add. I'd rather see zombie threads than repeated threads.

The general consensus of the bump is not to repeat topics continuously especially within short periods of time. Just the culture of how this forum usually operates.
