Why does ginatbomb not hav a role call?

optiows blog got moi thinking. Why do we not have a roll call? it would encorage discussion and it would make more activity.

We used to have one called "Bomb Squad", but in the end it only became a spam fest and was put to rest by the mods. Honestly, most of us have put that behind us and moved on, we don't really want the discussion to continue.

Here!

"Ah I see. Did the bombsquad get many posts?"

Wow. It must have been cool. I wish I could have seen it. some users used to talk about it all the time in ign and 1up.

"Here is one of the many versions. But pretty much all the random conversation moved to the GB IRC to keep the forums spam free. "

What exactly is a roll call thread? Is it just a giant thread with no apparent topic?

Yeah, BS was pretty sweet back in the day.

Unfortunately, there were too many trolls for the mods to handle, and honestly 50% of the posts were either "hi", "bye", or "what's up?"

We've all moved on though.

We have an IRC for random chat like that so it doesn't need to clutter up the forums.

Yeah. We have a lot of that already. Plus it almost immediately devolved into crap.
