Comeagain? Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 It undermines the forum itself and isn't particularly conducive to discussion or archiving. It'd be a pretty weak, petty way to get back at /r/rollercoasters. And goes against the purpose of Reddit which is to create communities rather than feuding between like minded people.
Cmbgo12 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 I agree that it might undermine the forum, but I think that if done right then it could be just as useful as the Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr groups...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 If you do it, you'd have to get in contact with Robb and get his consent in developing it. One person nearly got the banhammer for trying to make a TPR Wiki page without letting Robb know.
cfc Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 ^Exactly. This is Robb and Elissa's site, and any decision on whether to create a TPR Subreddit is theirs.
Cmbgo12 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 I don't plan on making one, I just wanted to see if you guys thought it would be as useful as Facebook, Instagram, etc...
p-sychiatrist Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 If you get Robb and Elissa's consent I think that it would be a great idea. I used to love Reddit (I don't use it much anymore), but there really aren't any high quality or very active coaster/theme park related sub-reddits. If the Alvey's and other mods here got involved in creating a subreddit that could be a great way to attract more people to the site and also bring coasters to the "front page of the internet". Any social media outreach is usually beneficial. I don't think people would stop coming to the forums just because there's a subreddit
robbalvey Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Absolutely NOT! Reddit it a terrible site full of obnoxious people and hate. I do not have any interest in supporting it nor putting my brand on it. If anyone tries to make a TPR Sub-Reddit I'll do everything I can to have it removed. If in the event it ends up being something we change our mind on, WE will start it. Remember, Theme Park Review is a brand that WE OWN. You can't just go and start up something branded with TPR just because you feel like it. The thing I hinted about on Twitter was a JOKE!!! Edited March 13, 2015 by robbalvey
