Why must we use hashtags?
I don't think anybody uses them. I feel like this is turning into facebook and twitter.

5 RepliesBecause hashtags sound like hashbrowns. Hashbrowns are made of potatoes. Potatoes grow like plants. Plants are green. Green is the color of money. Money can not buy happiness. Happiness is given from art. Art is sometimes made of lines. Lines make up hastags. Duh....

Hashtags are like "gang signs" that you throw up, or shout out. It's a cool concept. #TeamHashtag

To categorize the topics more so you can get a more specific topic such as SexyLobghorns

At first i was like "I'm gonna abuse this system and make the silliest, most useless hashtags possible." Now, on the rare occasion when i do make a thread, i usually can't be bothered to come up with any, legitimate or useless.

I agree let's not

Edited by Felicia402: 5/12/2013 10:33:29 PMDon't really see the need of them myself. We have a suited forum for nearly every topic. Unless some actually use them to find more specif topics. I know I don't. That being said, I don't see the harm in them either.

9 RepliesEdited by Recon Number 54: 5/11/2013 5:18:40 PMRemember the Halo file shares? How people would share something that they considered AWESOME and thought to themselves, "OMG, if people see this they will understand what an incredible player, person, screenshot taker and recognize me for the god that I am." Unfortunately, anyone and everyone who posted screenshots thought that very same thing and to be honest, not all of it was really that awesome. So, we would get bumpers, groups of bumpers, comment on mine and I will comment on yours, and all sorts of weird and twisted schemes to try to get "my stuff" recognized. Now, if you squint hard enough and take out the details, forum posts are really a lot like shared screenshots. People think that what they make is incredible and what everyone else makes is "just cluttering up the place and keeping people from seeing MY stuff". No really, using a fileshare on a forum was a "OMG, they're the same thing, Soylent Green is people" moment for our hosts. Then they started a tagging system for fileshares. And it helped. It didn't make things perfect, but it did help them to be more organized, and it helped both the content creators and the potential audience to better "match up" and find what they each considered to be "Quality stuff". Like it or not, if you just look at the forums as "people putting up their stuff and hoping other people flock to it", then the old system worked as well for conversations as it did for shared images and videos. It was functional, but it functioned poorly. Now, with the anticipated flood of new members that will be coming when Destiny is released, the forums are now structured like the 2nd gen fileshares. Users can create their own content, find content from others, if someone consistently makes stuff they like, they can follow that person, they can promote what they consider to be quality stuff, and they can remove (from their view of the chaos) stuff that they consider to be "shit that gets in the way". Content is content. Our words are little more than us arranging virtual soldiers into a snapshot and thinking that we've created art. Some folks are going to like it, others are going to hate it. The forums are better designed to help people find what they like, promote it, find more of it, and remove things that they don't want to see.
