    General chat has been really boring! I feel like people are afraid of making threads in General Chat lately. What are you afraid of? As long as it's not too offensive, the most that would happen is the thread getting locked.

    I want the fun back in NUF! NU is more serious while NUF is more fun. I don't like how some people are afraid of creating threads on NUF. I feel like some people are hiding out in their profiles because they are afraid of posting threads and/or post comments in general chat. Honestly, it's a little heartbreaking watching people feel like they are only allowed to post in their profiles.

    If you came to me in the past asking if you can make this thread or that thread, I'm talking about you. Don't be afraid of making threads! All of the moderators are nice people. Even though our replies might not always be nice, we are nice people! I think.

    BRING BACK THE HIJACKING (General Chat, non-serious threads)
    BRING BACK THE FUN (General Chat)

    I'm well aware of a group of people that dislike how I'm running NUF or dislike NUF in general (I've had people come to me). That's fine with me. I don't need to follow what other sites are doing nor do I need to please everyone. At the same time, I don't need to hear how "cancerous" NUF is. Even though everybody is entitled to their opinion, I feel like that kind of language is toxic for the community. If you do not like NUF, you are free to leave. Is there a need to complain about something that is free?

    Here are some fun threads that I like (found on short notice):
    Personally, I'm also fine with threads that harasses me http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/marrying-tony-off.5152/ or http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/ganging-up-on-tony.12205/ (@Cupcake Ninja, I dunno if I should've linked this as it got locked). That's just me though. Probably not a great idea to do it to the other moderators without their permission.

    I feel like any thread that has a connection to NUF users is fun but that's just my opinion. You are free to create any thread that you feel is fun.

    Let's say I've been called a 'figurehead like the Queen'. Well, I'm going to quit being the Queen when it comes to the General Chat.

    COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

    It is. If you can get enough people to complain, I'll increase it.

    90 likes a day, if you consider 6 hours of sleep, it's a like every 12 minutes. It's already a lot...
