Re:Series 1, Episode 1 - The Beginning
-
Ok, no offence, but this is FAR too early. It isn't a race to see who can post the next summary thread, you know. There should really be a rule saying that these type of threads can only be created on the day the episode is broadcast, otherwise people will start posting them days, even WEEKS before the episode itself.
Agreed, I would now kindly ask that people do not start these threads until the day the episode is broadcast. Also the person starting the thread must comment on the episode.
I have been thinking about moving all episode threads to a new forum section, which will make easy reference for the future, e.g. people can easily find the discussion for a particular episode and add comments at any time in future. What do people tink about this idea?
-
Yes a "Specific Episodes Discussion" board is a nice idea.
As for this nonsense about being the first to start the thread about an episode... sighs. As has been pointed out before, there's been a lot of pointless gratuitous posting recently by a number of people and it's just starting to get childish. A joke's a joke, guys, but if you keep recycling them, they wear thin.
-
Or have a seperate forum on this board for episode stuff. Starting a topic 3 days early just to be the first to post is stupid.
May I suggest that Illusion deletes this topic.
-
I like the idea Illusion
Role on Series 1, Episode 1...
-
I think it's a good idea as well, Illusion. General Discussion tends to have a lot of active topics these days, so anything to help 'tidy up' the Forum without curtailing discussion is no bad thing in my opinion!
-
On the other hand, just, er, 24 to go of these topics, and then all shall fade into dust.
There's a lot of gathering of these threads to do as well- right back to the depths of this forum. Still, a nice seperate section will clear this place up a bit. A separate bit for queries on certain episodes/teams would also be useful.
So yes, I tink it would be a good idea.
-
I've had an idea on how to do episode analysis in a tidy manner.
-
An admin person creates a sticky topic devoted to a particular episode, which can be contributed to for a few days after that episode is screened.
-
After that time is up, the topic is locked and moved to another forum section containing old, locked topics.
This will keep the General section more tidy, I think.
-
-
Right, well I think we will create a new section of the forum for specific episode threads only. I'm not too sure if they should be locked as the idea is that people can contribute to the episode discussion long after the initial posts (e.g. when it is repeated, or new members wanting to ask questions on the episode).
-
Illusion I'm probably asking a silly question but could you move all episode topics from this forum to the new one. Prehaps leave or delete this topic from its current location.
-
Oh the knew sections have cleared things up a bit now and make things a bit better. Just thinking though, maybe perhaps the large topics i.e. "Things you never see", "They would never say", "U know sum1", etc. that have 10+ pages could be moved to another board i.e. the knew classic board. Just an idea as that would also clear things up slightly, does anyone else agree?

I've found a few episode discussion threads that weren't under the 'Series X Episode X' syntax, and so aren't on the Episode Discussion board.
Saturday's episode - Series 6 Episode 4. All threads since then (17th April) have followed the same syntax.
The regular episode discussion threads didn't start until the Series 4 repeats, but some Series 3 ones were made, albeit under lots of different names. The same thread would usually be used for the following episode as well-
End of Season - Series 3 Episode 16.
Last Saturdays Episode(8/2/03) Hilarious - Series 3 Episode 11. Seems to turn into a 'favourite moments' type thread near the end, but it did start out as a discussion.
Sundays Challenge? Episode - Series 3 Episode 8...for the first 1 and a half pages, anyway. It then rolls over into episodes 9 and 10.
todays ep, - Series 3 Episodes 5 and 6.
did ya see it? - Series 3 Episode 1, and then Episode 2- the first ever episode discussion thread!
There may be a few more, but I've yet to find them!
EDIT: Another one: Series 4 Episode 10 - Series 4 Episode 10!
There are also sometimes two threads discussing the same episode. It would probably be best if these pairs were merged together:
Series 4 Episode 5- here and here.
Series 4 Episode 7- here and here.
Series 5 Episode 7- here and here. (the latter thread was accidentally named 'Series 6 Episode 7', so it would be probably best to merge 1 with 2.)
Series 5 Episode 11- here and here. (the former thread had a date of Monday 12th instead of Wednesday 12th, so it would be probably best to merge thread 2 with 1.)
Series 5 Episode 12- here and here. (the former thread had a date of Wednesday 12th instead of Friday 14th, so it would be probably best to merge 2 with 1.)
Apologies if it sounds like I'm demanding(I'm not)!
-
Slightly unrelated but in the later pages of the general discussion forum there are a lot of threads that should be in the newbies thread.
I got bored and felt like having a virtual wonder around the board.
-
I think that maybe the board name could be changed to "episode and individual team reviews" as I've noticed that further back the threads weren't done by each episode, they were done by each team shown. So perhaps the board name could be changed to as mentioned and those team related threads could also be moved there. Just a suggestion though.

Thanks massively for this. I have implemented all that moving and merging. Cheers. Any more welcome. Thanks. Excellent!
Buried in the depths of General Discussion are many threads which discuss individual Knightmare incidents (i.e. from one particular episode). One could argue that these are not technically episode discussion threads, but in my opinion, it would be beneficial to merge many of them with their respective episode threads. Advantages that I perceive are:
-
More of the views expressed on a given matter can then be found in a single place; in short, easier reference. General Discussion is so huge that older topics there are effectively lost. By contrast, Episode Discussion is fully indexed (thank you, Dan), so nothing in there is lost.
-
The aforementioned vastness of General Discussion would be helpfully reduced.
-
Some of the 'individual incident' threads were clearly started in response to the relevant episode being shown on Challenge (e.g. this thread, just as the Episode Discussion threads were.
It is, of course, Illusion's decision; but to enable that decision, here is a list of the individual incident threads, along with the Episode Discussion threads into which they could be merged.
