    The PG-13 sub has been a bust -- perhaps a change to a media entertainment sub including Movies, TV, music would be an improvement to the hangout. We've all noticed how clogged the main hangout can become with all the new tv (netflix) and movie threads -- just an idea I thought i'd throw out.

    An Ignore Threads feature would be better, imho.
    Just like Ignore Users, there is still an easy way to "show ignored content."

    But, it's not a feature of the bbs, and using 3rd-Party add-ons is a discussion in itself.

    fwiw: XenForo does have 3rd-Party add-ons for that: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforos-own-ignore-function-is-there-one.177382/

    maybe worth checking if an add-on can be a feature for Subscribing Members only.

    Good idea. Even his mom hates him. Especially his mom. That might be his problem. But he has many other moms for comfort. Especially your mom.

    I think the issue is that the PG-13 forum lacks visibility. It's a subforum that most people miss.

    I propose:

    • Hangout: Gorditas, etc
    • PG-13: Obvious, underboob req.
    • Entertainment: (as you said) with media (film, music, books) topics.

    People can find comfort in many things- cookies, ice cream, a blanket or even a cigarette for example. Whats hard to find is love. I hate to hear that his mom doesnt love him, but I can tell you one thing, she loves the hell out of a donkeypunch and then finds comfort with a cigarette thereafter.

    Nah I like the movie/ tv threads but there are just too many -- they need a dedicated sub now.

    haha,

    seriously, though. To start PG-13, the first thing @Clutch did was Consensus Building, over several days, if not weeks. The next was move the existing PG-13 threads to the sub. You can go count how many that was...something under 10 ... farily easy task.

    Consensus Building and Sorting out existing Hangout into a new Subforum of entertainment are larger initial tasks, which seems like tasks Clutch would suggest.

    I propose @KingCheetah once and for all become Moderator, King of Hangout; and let him sort it all out, then explain His Sordidness for us to follow.

    that said, can we stil install an Ignore Thread feature, for all forums. Oh would I have loved that back in the 'holic and LOF days. :)

    We like movie/tv/music threads don't want to ignore them but the movie/tv threads crowd out quality hangout material. When I bumped the thread about 14/20 threads on the front page of the hangout were entertainment related (movie/tv/music/games) most were movie/tv.

    @KingCheetah would be King of the Hangout?

    If you haven’t noticed, he’s not the only King around here...just saying! ;)

    We understand

    If you were Moderator, how would you propose gaining Consensus, doing initial sort and whatever else you recommend so it won't "be a bust" -- quoting you wrt PG-13 in OP.

    One idea is to convince Clutch to do it all, I suppose.

    Entertainment is pretty nebulous. Where would the topic of Chris Plummer dying go in hangout?

    Prob easier to just create new movies/tv subforum and start moving everything from pages 1-5 and do occasional moves until people get the hang of it.
