Couples spot?

I know Darren says no, but when's that ever stopped me? I mean, it's me... it's almost my job to be the thorn in his side.

Anyway, what i wanted to ask is whether or not you guys wanted us to bring the couples' spot back, the place for couples to go on dates, be.... generally disgusting, and to be all lovey dovey to each other, but that bit falls under the disgusting stuff.

Despite Darren's claims, i don't think that this'll lead to "Spur of the moment relationships" or ones that break up, no more than usual anyway.

I don't do this to try and discourage having relationships out of the couples spot, but more so that you have a place to go on dates and what not, if that's what you want.

Anyway, vote! Give reasons if you like, i don't really mind.

So, this weekend i'll count up the votes and act, or not, upon them.

YES YES YES YES BRING IT BACK! YES YES YES YES YES BRING IT BACK! XD In case you haven't noticed, I am all in for Couples Spot.

So, i'll put you down as a no huh, not a worry.

i vote purple monkey dishwasher haha its cool bring it back if you want i dont mind

Wow Jess.. wow.

The couples spot is something we had way back, and though it was popular, it was retarded, and it doesn't make sense. Think about it, all the roleplay forums are places mentioned in the books. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm quite sure there was never a place mentioned in the books where Hogwarts students go and make love. Besides, theres about a hundred other forums where couples can post. Therefore, it makes no sense to have the couples spot.

But feel free to vote anyway.

Well, the tea shop was a canon place, and it seems to meet those criterii

'sides, it's just a bit of fun, it's not hurting anyone, tis a hidden forum remember, also, in the hundreds of other places
1) Everyone can your lovey dovey crap
2) It can spill into open topics, and tis impossible for other people to join them if this happens

Anyway, if you're completely and utterly against it, and hate everything to do with it, you and i can talk about it.

I agree with Darren on this one; I've seen this idea put into action on other sites before & disagreed with it then as well, simply because it makes the site appear to be more about roleplaying out the relationships of hormonal teenagers than actually looking at the site as a whole with the Harry Potter element, and then the relationships added in- I'm not against change, if it's change that will do us good.

I didn't mind it when we had it before really. It makes no difference now though. However I don't doubt even if the majority is yes Darren's going to delete it right away anyway. Besides, it's really...well not a terrible idea but I voted whatever.

Adam has a point, Darren will most likely come back behind you Jess and delete it even if a bunch of people do want it.

Personally, I dislike seeing admin disagreements brought to my attention like this. It makes it look like members of the admin team are more preoccupied with getting one up on each other than they are about running the board to the best of their ability.

It could easily have been avoided simply by not bringing up that there was a disagreement among the staff and they could have found out what the members opinions were without there being any sense of us taking sides.

Now, I have voted in the poll, but I'm not going to give any more information about my vote because I feel like I've been set up so that if I explain my reasoning it will be interpreted as siding with one of you over the other.

I'm not siding with either of you. I think you're both behaving like children.
