MemberMothra LarvaeMar-02-2014 7:36 PMHello G-fans, long time no talk. Anyway, I have made a few discussion which I felt have been rather pointless(Including this one) yet, I must write it anyway,
Listen guys, now I LOVE a good speculation discussion, in which we can all just share our thoughts and wantings based on the recent trailers and information! HOWEVER...I feel as if many of us are doing a bit of "Over speculation" as well as spreading speculation as direct plot points. I've read through many topics lately in which some members are stating their speculation as actual parts of the movie. That is how false information will spread. Realistically, we know very LITTLE about the movie. We don't even know if any of those scripts have any weight. Not Gareth or Legendary came out to say, "Yes everyone, those leaked scripts are legit." We do not know what the other monsters are, what they look like, what their purpose is, what Godzilla's purpose is, if a Toho monster is in it, etc etc.. Not even the description by IGN regarding the 20 minutes they saw gave us HUGE information. So all I ask is that we share our speculations and thoughts as just that. And not as real information, because some people still take the forum as actual news.

MemberMothra LarvaeMar-02-2014 7:42 PMyes please, i think we need more mods, we get alot of really weird and useless topic posts that dont warrant their own space on the forum. Im all for speculation, but there are some posts i just dont think need to be repeated. I know this is an early website, but i always liekd the idea of putting ALL speculation into one thread that we can keep going forever in instead of pin pointing only one specific region of the movie like "godzilla bones speculation" or "dead people in the godzilla bones speculation", we should make a GENERAL speculation thread but i dont see that happening, not the way the forum is set up now

MemberMothra LarvaeMar-02-2014 8:34 PMdont mean to call anyone out, but right now there is a post on speculating if they will create an atomic breathe for the neca figure and the 1994 figure, i seriously do not think thats a topic wide enough to even cover or warrant it's own post, again im not bashing, but the post just doesn't make sense to speculate on

AdminGodzillaMar-02-2014 8:38 PMHere's a question guys, if the mods made more sticky posts about specific topics that get spread to thin, for example:
- Your Speculations Thread
- Godzilla's Design Thread
- Godzilla Toys Thread
- Trailer Threads
...etc...etc... and closed/redirected any duplicate topics that could easily be put in one of those, would you partake in those threads more actively? And if so would it reduce the clutter or is too gestopo-esque to pull such a thing?
I agree completely with all of you, but I trying to think of a way to keep the place less cluttered while keeping it accessable as well. We have to remember, there's a lot of youngsters here who love their voice to be heard and don't understand they're creating sub-sbu-sub-topics to other threads. How do you guys feel about mods making more "official" sticky threads?

AdminGiganMar-02-2014 9:55 PMWhy on earth would anyone take speculation as actual news?? No one ever did that on Prometheus, we had a blast speculating there. Go look at the site and the stuff people wrote, you will see. XD
This place is for having fun, can't stop people from posting their ideas really but yea we can and do feature and sticky the more unique and interesting posts. Gman looks like he has a good grasp of what to do, you guys are in good hands. :)

I think some people just misunderstand with the way speculation is given and take it as fact. It happens.
I really do want to hear more from members, you, Jordan, I.Gigan and Chris about stickying more broad topics and containing things a little better. It won't stop people from making duplicate topics, immediately, but they might take a hint...

Everyone here takes every little mouse fart of information, credible or not, as absolute fact-- but only when said fact works in favor of their own personal theories and wishful thinking.
I.E. the whole two day Rodan fiasco and the fake bandai toy bits...

I don't disagree, there's not much that can be done about that except isolating some conversation. It won't fix the problem, but it might contain it a little better. If you have other ideas, I'm all ears.
