Title: TGO ARC Subforum
Post by: Madness on July 11, 2016, 09:50:14 pm
As per usual, I prefer to sound the Quorum of fans before I embody the group's decision:

Tomorrow I will make all the TGO ARC subforum and TGO ARC Author Q&A public. It's already been decided that I will move the TGO ARC Author Q&A threads to the Author Q&A subforum with the added "[TGO SPOILERS]" tag and Cû'jara-Cinmoi can continue answering questions there as he's compulsed when his routine gets back on the roll.

Otherwise, the hive-meld of regulars see a couple options for the TGO ARC subforum:

- I can delete that private subforum and I can move all the threads to the TGO subforum proper with the "[TGO SPOILERS]" tag and leave them open to continuation.
             - though, we all concurred that we'd rather let everyone start fresh in which case I can keep them locked (but that means a page and a half of locked threads in the TGO subforum).

OR

- I can make the subforum public lock it and people can being anew with new threads and continuations of the ARC subforum threads suitably marked with "[TGO SPOILERS]" tags.

Sounding the Plate.

Cheers.

I would Public lock and begin anew, so as to foster more coversation.

Yeah lets lock it and start anew.

My personal preference is to start anew. With the locked threads.

Agreed with the above opinions.

I don't really see the point in locking them all, but it doesn't really matter.

Because then you'll just have two TGO subforums, H, people posting in the both subforums having the same conversations, etc, etc.

Gives me a head-ache just thinking about it.

EDIT: Alright. About an hour I'd say.

READER BEWARE - A WHOLE PAGE OF TGO SPECULATION INCOMING INTO RECENT AND UNREAD TOPICS - If anyone, previous ARC readers or official copy readers, want to continue the threads of the ARC subforum please remake the thread in the TGO subforum proper.

Oh, I thought they were going to be moved one way or the other, obviously my coffee deprived brain failed to realize the critical difference.

Staying put and locked seems better now that I understand.

So as I wrote:

There's a read-only TGO ARC Discussion unlocked at the top of TGO subforum.

Please feel free to create new threads of any of the old ARC threads to continue discussion.

And now all the TGO ARC Author Q&A threads are in the Author Q&A-proper, sorted and scattered as per their posting date.

A quick perusal (and I mean real quick) seems to show that all the errors we found are still in, so there might not be any difference from the ARC to Retail, except the map and character list.

0% surprised. However, with the late Tor release they might get fixes.

That is a thread I'd like to continue. I'm about to set in for my second multiple hour reading session and I've already found three in the first 80 pages.

I think Bakker's hope is that we can get changes in before the Orbit UK paperback prints (which isn't really so far away).
