I'm not against the idea of a B3ta scheduler,
I just think it would confuse things. There's nothing inconvenient about using the 4rthur one.
( Comma, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:47, archived)

other than people having another place to check for stuff
especially if they only use B3ta :)
( Xkimo was at work on, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:48, archived)

I think that they're a minority, though.
Most people who come to bashes are at least aware of 4rthur.
( Comma, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:50, archived)

Maybe that should change...

(neon_starfish, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:51, archived)

Not entirely true
People shouldnt have to be aware of them... and i suspect it would bring the talk board and main board together if we had our own pub thang

Yes this!

I think what b3ta really needs is a connection between the talkers and the picture chaps
Would make it truly aces:)
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:57, archived)

A picture/talk board

You sir scare me:)

( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:59, archived)

I agree.
I'm a member of 4rthur (i think) but never go there as I'm too lazy and uninterested.
( Shoosh up your lips Not state-funded, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:58, archived)

But if this is the case,
then it may also increase the rift between B3ta and 4rthur.
( Comma, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:58, archived)

Maybe
But what says we should have to joined at the hip?
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:59, archived)

We both rely on each-other.
Everyone flocked to 4rthur when B3ta spazzed up, and 4rthurians invade us when their board is spacking.
There's already far too much tribal conflict between us as it is.
( Comma, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:02, archived)

true
but i think B3ta's own scheduler would be a good idea or at the least a link to the 4rthur one so everyone can find it and stuff
( Xkimo was at work on, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:56, archived)

Exactly
If we had our own, people wouldn't have to be aware of 4rthur

I don't use 4rthur, I just can't be bothered to remember another set of log in details
(Naughty Tortoise, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:56, archived)

But what's wrong with being aware of 4rthur?

( Comma, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 17:59, archived)

I've got nothing against 4rthur
I just can't be bothered with it

I don't need another message board, and going to another website is jsut extra hassle.
Having the only pub scheduler there excludes the many b3tans who either aren't aware of it, or just don't bother with 4rthur

Whether or not we 'need' our own is fairly immaterial, it'd just be better to have one. It'd include more people and be more convenient

My point is, why make do when we've been offered something else? We shoul at least give it a try, if it doesn't work, people wont use it
(Naughty Tortoise, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:03, archived)

It's not that I don't want one,
I just think it's a bit pointless, since there's a perfectly good 4rthur one already.
( Comma, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:07, archived)

But 4rthur isnt b3ta
Simple fact

we need our own
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:08, archived)

Exactly
It's like saying we could use...msn groups to organise them
(Naughty Tortoise, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:09, archived)

Why?
There are so so many people on b3ta that you only talk to a small percentage, and having a b3ta scheduler would mean lots of people who you don't know signing up to bashes without knowing what they're doing.
( Comma, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:11, archived)

And dont you think
That if there was a B3ta schedular we would speask to more b3tans?And especially mix with more main boarders, i for one welcome mixing more...its an utter shame we dont more often
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:12, archived)

Meaning we meet new people and possibly get more people unlurking!
*gasp*
( Shoosh up your lips Not state-funded, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:12, archived)

So what?
More people would come to bashes and you'd meet more people

That's bad how?

Anything that breaks down cliqueyness is good in my opinion. You could always organise private bashes if you wanted
(Naughty Tortoise, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:12, archived)

I utterly support meeting more people
People are great and the more the better
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:17, archived)

When I go to a bash,
I like to know, or at least have heard of, most of the people I'm expecting to meet.
Sorry.
( Comma, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:20, archived)

Thats odd
I'd far more prefer a random tunin up and making the effort to meet new people...you simply never know who you will meet sometimes, and thats aces
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:21, archived)

Ahh,
but I'm an emotionally-scarred reclusive social reject who is frightened of people.
( Comma, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:23, archived)

Well yes
So your opinion might be jaded somewhat?
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:25, archived)

Could have said the same thing about the 4rthur message board when it was created couldn't you?
But look at that, it's grown into it's own community, with differant people and tastes

The same thing could happen here

People are quite welcome to keep using the 4rthur one, but I think a b3tan one would serve a differant audience

Edit: and another thing, not everyone uses the same name on 4rthur and b3ta, a 'who's going' thing with everyone's b3tan names would be extremely useful to people who don't use 4rthur
(Naughty Tortoise, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:08, archived)

I couldnt have said it better
Are you me?
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:09, archived)

It's quite possible!
Ciggy sir?

Handjob?
Oh and now you've got me gagging for a fag! bastard!
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:12, archived)

Yeah, Mrs. Tortoise is trying to get me to quit
So I'm absolutely gagging for one
(Naughty Tortoise, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:14, archived)

I think /talk is it's own community as well now.

( Randomgazz, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:10, archived)

True enough
In fact utterly true...but id hate to miss out on meeting other main board people:)
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 31 Jul 2005, 18:15, archived)

Yeah
There are people who dont know or care about 4rthur...not that its a bad thing to make a foray into their territory, but it would be nice to have our own...

Even if some of us do straddle both boards
