Worst threads - Rock Monster - 03-17-2009
I would like to hear your opinions about the worst threads on this forum. The ones that just won't die. The ones that make you cringe when you even see the title....
My first one is the What are you going to do once the undead rise? thread.
Second is Slap the person above you
Third, and most hated is the LAST ONE TO POST WINS! crap.
And last, before any of you asses say it, is this thread.

The ones you mention however seems to be the ones that get the most replies. That is the point of a message board. Create topics that keep people interested.
Worst threads - sunshyne - 03-17-2009
I will say Last one to post sucks, and the post about the numbers arguement and most anything started by Doktor.

I agree with everything stated above.

Simple solution for most of your problem threads: stay out of the Wheel of Bad Games forum....the name implies what is in there.

Hence the line where I said that they just won't die.
The zombie one, I don't really hate, just kinda wierd.
The other two aren't conversations, they are just there for people to say... I win... nuh uh, I win... no you lose.... no, I win.... yada yada yada...
Worst threads - Allyson - 03-17-2009
I hate pretty much every game in the game forum, except the ones Philly Mike posts that serve as a distraction for 10 minutes, and of course Create a Caption.
Also the Undead one because there's a new post every minute and I have no idea what's going on because I didn't care about it to begin with.

The slap the person above you has nothing to do with winning, it is just fun to find a reason to slap someone else.

Therein lies the problem... I don't go into the sections of the board. I just click on the 50 last posts, so I can see all of the posts, that way I don't miss as many interesting ones.

Yeah, I kind of like that one. The other 2 that RM mentioned I could care less about.

That seems like a bad idea if you hate most of the wheel of bad games, and the zombies thread as they get 75% of the posts here.
But Queenie, you are the designated drinker! ???

You must really be hard up for something to do today if you are going to pick apart that sentence.
Maybe I just don't hate them as much as you do.
Worst threads - beckyp - 03-17-2009
they all blow lately. sorry, but when this all started it was fun and people joked around way more. now it's just lame puns, innuendos, conservative talk, and nerd conventions.
...IMO.

Agreed, but the Undead thread amuses me immensely.

Not hard up. I try to call people out whenever I see the "could care less" thing. It's a huge pet peeve of mine. Could care less means that there is room to not care as much... blah blah..
I guess the Zombie one could be taken off of my list. Like I said before, it's just wierd. The others are just pointless though. There's no conversation, just mind numbing dribble.

...again, this is the game thread you're talking about. There really is no topic there to have a conversation with.

^he speaks the truth.
Worst threads - potthole - 03-17-2009
I find the whole "game" part of the board to be worthless, but since I pretty much avoid it, I don't really have any problems with it.
"Right Now I'm" tends to go from awesome to crap. For a few days it'll have some great conversation, then for a few days it's junk. Then it'll get good again...
Aside from that, about the only other threads I consider to be really consider to be bad are ones that are blatently spam.
Worst threads - Biff - 03-17-2009
It's pretty easy to just ignore the threads I don't have any interest in. If I could tweak the "50 recent posts" to not include the "games" forum I would but I cannot.
Eventually we are going to move on to a better forum but for now we're where we are.

oops, my bad. wrong thread
Worst threads - Philly Mike - 03-17-2009
Allyson Wrote:I hate pretty much every game in the game forum, except the ones Philly Mike posts that serve as a distraction for 10 minutes, and of course Create a Caption.well, thank you. Glad I can provide short distractions.
Also the Undead one because there's a new post every minute and I have no idea what's going on because I didn't care about it to begin with.
although the weird color thing kind of keeps my attention longer than it should, especially when i crash off the caffeine and it is about 2AM.
As far as the other things with the topics that "suck" well pretty much I just don't pay attention to a lot of the threads I don't care about, anything in touchy subject that starts to get too conservative or too liberal i try to stay away from. If a thread or conversation I am involved in starts to go a little too nerd I try to change the subject up a little or I talk less until the topic starts to come back to normal. Unless the topic is initially nerdy I will talk more in it, like the game talk thread i started and things like that. Hence my lack of posts after speaking about spiderman and LOTR post in the movies thread from today.
but hey if you want less nerdy conversation, or more interesting conversation in threads then start threads that will go that way.

Are you familiar with the term "A day late, and a dollar short?"

Please, go on...
Just want to throw my two cents in. It's been mentioned, but I think the worst threads are those designed purely to build post count.
"I win."
"Now I win."
"Nope, I win."
or (sorry Queenie)...
"I slap you."
"I slap you back, tee hee!"

Posts in the games forum don't add to post counts for this very reason.

Well good then!
Queenie, I do it by harshly making fun of people to their face. I get away with it though because I'm always bitterly sarcastic so people just think I'm joking. Suckers.
