Honestly, this is just completely silly. There's only 3 movies and we're confining everything new to one thread?

What the hell is the point in that? If the thread's not obviously redundant, let each subject have its own thread.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. If it is a thread about one specific thing with larger implications it stays open. If it is just somebody listing off the fact they got the DVD and their feelings on a bulk of changes, it can go into the larger discussion thread.

It is redundant, and would start t get cluttered if everybody who sees the DVD went and made their own thread for just their feelings. It would be the same discussion over and over.

We followed the exact same proceedure for when the movies have been released to theaters and it has always kept things tidy.

No you didn't! There was no "official" movie thread and everytime someone posted something specific on it you had to go to that thread!

Those two topics were already being talked about, that's why i closed them.

Sorry if think I'm being a nazi, but i think it is a pain in the ass to have the same discussions in more than one thread.

And when AOTC was released we DID have a I SAW AOTC thread, and most threads of the "OMG I JUST SAW AOTC" variety were closed.

I'm not trying to be a nazi, if enough people think that a topic should exist outside of the official thread, I'm not going to shut it down just cause I have OCD.

Go ahead, start a topic of discussion that isn't alreayd being talked about and isn't fluff and i will leave it alone.

Just to reiterate, if anyone has had a SW DVD style thread closed, and you think it warrants it's own converation, just let me know and I'll gladly reopen it.

My only issue is to keep threads of people just saying OMG YAY THIS IS COOL LOL! in one thread. If people wnat more branching out, that is absolutely fine.

Just speak up.

Um... Why would someone start a separate thread if they didn't think it warranted its own conversation? The way I see it, this M.O. just creates more work for you. You close a thread, the person complains about it, you reopen it. Save time and effort and just leave it be, eh? No? Well, I never liked you anyway.

Dude, you sure pwn3d us with your rolleyes.

End sarcasm.

This is a valid argument. You're ****ing retarded.

And it's spelled H-E-R-E. You got it once, but I guess twice was just too much for you to handle. Also, what's a "goota"?
