Re: Small Topics

Post by Termite »

Hi. I've noticed that WAY too many topics are clogging up the forums just because they are small and only have a little content. I've also noticed that some topics are being created and being too specific, and I feel like these topics CAN be extended, but they are too deep in the forums to be noticed.

Because small topics like what I just described are EVERYWHERE, The Sandbox is the best place because it is the most average of all topics.

So I've created this topic so that other topics and ideas won't be wasted and will be noticed and built on.

*sigh*

I know this is a double post but I don't want to clog up the original post with some random miscellaneous stuff so...

How much clearance (in half-diagonals) does this thing need?

Yeah, the majority of these "small topics" you're referring to were made in the early days of the forums IIRC, and it wouldn't make sense to delete/merge them now. Now, most of them are merged or talked about in a broader thread.
I could've chose a better username, but oh well.

I think I've learned the ropes of cellular automata. My current interest is range-two LTLs.

I don’t think there are any larger topics in the miscellaneous posts and discussions thread.

This is a dedicated place to give all of these small topics that are just sitting there (a few thousand) room to grow
