CoasterNut17 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 What if Theme Park Review started a new forum for rumor threads and threads about what you think on things. Like speculation threads. I know they always get locked, but what if it was kept to a certain forum? It would still keep the other forums "clean" by being in it's own forum, and wouldn't interfere with other topics. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 While I don't think an entire forum is necessary, I've started a thread here where all the rumor chatter can go: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=385896 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 If you ask me about rumor threads though. A thread will be locked if: 1. There are no credible sources, just something pulled out of the air. 2. If the post seems like a "hello, this is my first post, it looks like an abortion ofthe english language," type post. 3. If the rumor seems WAY too ridiculous. A thread will not be locked if: 1. There's credible sources (pictures, permits, etc.) 2. If the post is well-written out. 3. If the rumor seems realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterNut17 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Sounds good! Just thought it might need it's own little section! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiascreamer1 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 This sounds like a great idea, but in my opinion i don't think many people would want rumors flying around about them online. Personally i think someone could really get offended or angry and this site doesnt need that. Worst case scenario: Someone starts getting a rumor spread about them because someone has something against that person. Then it spreads and spreads until everyone knows it. Then that person feels really bad. The whole point of the site is too have fun, not too spread rumors and gossip.

America Sings Freak Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I think we could start this forum if enough people think we should, but then we would get things like: Hello, I am Tom and I just wanted to tell you about this awesome new rumor I heard about Disneyland's Peoplemover reopening with a loop and turing in to a suspended Vekoma that will fly through the whole park from my made up site I found this on it says that it may be open in 2012 .... O' yeah it will be Michael Eisner themed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I think we could start this forum if enough people think we should Not really. It has nothing to do with what enough people think we should do, but it has everything to do with what *I* think we should do! I personally *HATE* rumor threads. It's bad enough that there are legitimate deals for projects that get negotiated and sometimes even announced and then dropped (Hershey's Frequent Faller for example) and it doesn't help when people spread all kinds of other wacky rumors. I still remember that "Three B&M Deal" rumor that went on after Cedar Point build Raptor and Mantis that it seemed as though it had become "fact" because it was mentioned so much. Rumors just diloute what's really going on in this industry. And trust me, I've seen some of the crazy things that ACTUALLY happen, so why do we even need wild rumors on top of it all? *shrug* --Robb "There will never be a rumor forum on TPR."

CoasterNut17 Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 ^Robb, you got a point. I think we should just keep it to that thread then. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
