Because static blocks are hard for people to maintain.
*shivers* Static blocks....
Either that or they're trying to set a record on most number of individual people maintaining a mod.
I presume it's a reference to time is the fourth dimension for saying that WayOfTime would be involved in Chisel 4.
Does Topic Nazi need to become a thing. Chill out. This used to be a friendly thread were people could add a comment or two with out getting hanged.
Devs wanting to do things differently than each other, so they go out and make their own version of it.
But it wasnt one or two comments back then, it was people wildly discussing things until someone stepped in to end it

Absolutely this, which is why I move any post that isn't news into this thread.
When I first posted there, it watched the thread for me and when I looked into my Emails a week later, I had like 200 emails from FTB D:
Should probably edit the op then to ban all discussing.
I think I get it. The teck and machines being added to what was supposed to be a simple atheistic practically creative mode mod. Some of the deves don't like the mod moving into that direction and made there own that sticks to the original intent.

And that happened what one every few months. And the bulk of it was relevant discussion based around the original posts. That more often than not only took a single post from a mod to stop them when those few times they got out of hand.
They attempted to fix a problem that so very few had by making a new section of the forum for it. Do you remember that.
Despite most giving rational reasonable arguments as to why it would not work that convinced all but a few remaining detractors that it would not be a good idea. They still added it. And where is it now. Gone because it was never used.
Now looking at that thread do you know what I see. What was once a lively thread that collected information and rumors fro all over is practically dead. It's a boring thread that no one wants to bother posting to.
If you want to keep the thread alive stop killing the posts. Just suggest that posters add a #NewMod or #ModUpdate tags to the thread. That would make them easy to search through and fare better for everyone involved.
No, only you people who kept on posting constantly posted to the thread cluttering it up thought nothing was wrong. There were several points where an entire page would be made up of you just chatting. This aggravated a lot of the rest of us which is why you got reported so much, you had the privilege of leniency and then you abused it until you couldn't be trusted with it.
Okay, so stepping in to provide a moderator view of the recent change as well as a user view from before I became a moderator. That thread was awful. If you wanted news you had to dig for pages to find it, often through off topic discussion. The few posts that were on topic weren't too bad, but those always caused the discussion to devolve into some debate that had nothing to do with the news being posted. Go back a few hundred pages and take a look if you don't believe me. I found five pages that were all off-topic discussion yesterday while looking for something.
When I went through the mod training I asked specifically about the news thread and moving discussion over here. We decided to push this thread into the same subforum as the news thread to keep it easily accessible for everyone. No posts have been deleted since then unless they violated forum rules (and I can't remember any that have in the news thread recently). Posts only get moved here when they're discussion. No one is preventing anyone from having discussions about recent events, we just want it done here. If it isn't, not a big deal, we'll move it here.
Exactly this^ 100% agree.
I actually love discussing things, but I was so annoyed back then because I came to the thread to find out updates, news or if anything interested had happened in the modding scene. Refreshing the page a few hours later just to reveal 8 new posts that are all just people talking about how awesome this new botania flower is wasn't exactly exciting or made me happy. Only those who were constantly discussing in that thread were the ones not happy about the change (let's be serious, most of the time it was the same people commenting on every posted update).
While I think that the RED thread isn't the best way because it's pretty disconnected from the actual thread, I don't see how FTB is going to recode Xenforo to allow us to comment on mod updates similar to a blog (which would be the best way to do it imho, discussion on the actual thread, but without disrupting the flow of it, something like a small text saying "Show 5 Comments").
Everyone is adding chests these days D: . Gonna be like when we had 6 different coffees.
@ RED
Tbh, it's not extremely hard to hit +Quote, then insert the quote in the RED thread instead of the actual thread. Takes about 5 seconds longer and the discussion can take place there just fine.
(hint: this wasn't moved
)...
Thank you for telling how to do that.
(Seriously, I used +Quote to reply to multiple things in a single thread, I did not realize it would cross threads)

I think it's cute how your son is interested in programming. Will definitely be checking out his mod :3
