I dont like chat thread. In fact, I hate them. I think they are derivitive, stupid, and hinder creativity. Most times, when a new thread goes up, the rules arent even explained anymore because the same thread has been posted 15 times aready, so everybody knows how to do them. One time, I locked a game/chat thread because it hit 500 posts. Within 5 minutes of me locking it, there was already another one up, with some replies too. Originally, the goal of my "Last person to post in this thread wins" thread was to start a game thread with minimal effort, no set of rules, without me prodding it, and to let it hit 500 replies fairly quickly to show people how easy it is to have a monster thread full of garbage. I proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt, as it had 180 replies in the first hour, and 587 posts 4 hours later (before it was locked and eventually deleted the next day). Im not knocking the people who post in them though. If chat threads are your thing, go right on ahead. Obviously, I cant tell you what you can and cannot enjoy in a thread. Im just saying it isnt my cup of tea.
Most times, I post for my own general amusement. I understand that little, if any, of you folks have my weird sense of humor. Keeping myself entertained at this point seems to be the only way I have of keeping sane around here nowadays.<font color="white">
