We did consider it. I am not exaggerating when I say we discussed this whole thing at length. We both decided against it and saw it was impossible when we explored the option.

Much like I don't think it hurts a forum to have 80% users who only talk in OT garbage, I don't believe it hurts a forum if those disappear.
If you think that removing the *Off Topic* is "killing the community", maybe something is wrong with (your perception of) the community.
If you think this will reduce work on the moderators you're out of your god damn mind.where I sit, it looks like a draconian effort to release moderator work load and insulate Mike Z from suggestions. Neither is something I approve of, but I've long understood my voice to be unwelcome here. I could be wrong in this hypothesis but frankly I just don't care anymore.
Just to sum up, it amazes me that anytime I think my opinion of forum moderators has hit it's absolute nadir. Shit like this happens.

Who cares about those threads dying? They are not relevant to the forum whatsoever (okay, they generate traffic and help SH be the #1 result for "Skullgirls Forum" on Google..)
Isn't lore usually made up as it goes? Whether it be a video game or T.V. show? Whenever new content gets made, it could unlock more about a character that even the creator didn't know about.
Screw the off-topic threads. That's what I have Metalstorm for.
But I just wanna be crystal clear on this because I was just getting ready to post my first thread that I've been working on for a while now and now that everything's shifted around, I'm reluctant. I honestly couldn't care less about gameplay cause I never paid attention to that stuff, but I wanna make sure this isn't violating anything because I don't wanna waste the effort of posting a thread and have it shot down before even leaving the runway.
The concept of said thread was to be a fun dialogue-creator of sorts (for fights between characters in hypothetical matches). The key distinction though (distinction probably being a bad choice of words since I did my research and this will be the only thread of its kind so far) is that it wasn't just gonna feature characters that didn't make the game (Aeon is the main example as I created a set for her in my post).
General question: What does Gameplay Speculation extend to? Does dialogue suggestion count as gameplay speculation or what? I only play Skullgirls for the story/lore and characters, so I'm terribly naive about this stuff. If I can't post the thread with the characters not in-game, I'm not even gonna bother posting the thread. Takes away half the fun.
Said community actually seems to have something much better to do, namely shitposting in OT and writing endless baseless speculation which nobody can prove or disprove.
Yeah can you believe it?!
So I have the all-clear? Sweet.
