SupportMage Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=780428 January 23, 2009 - Various people, many in their teens, some younger, many older, are noticing a strange trend of what is being called a "bandwagon": people with no creativity simply posting a link to a 'strange' news quirk and flooding their Off-Topic board with things of little discussion value. One teen, identified by authorities as "Supportmage", calls the situation, quote, "a waste of time ". Will this end soon? Discuss. Still alive, still alive.

Riku3220 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 How about a consolidated news thread? You mean news sticky? We seem to solve all of our problems with stickys. We need more fire on these forums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordjake Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 how about rename the board "Off-topic (but no discussing current events!)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_love_burritos Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hopefully it will soon enough, we need some crass TIF to scare all the spam 22 PC people away. I'd like to see more thought and science based discussion going on. Also there are too many "meaningless" threads, about what type of toilet paper you use, absorbency, strength, softness, ply-count. Please people this really isn't necessary. Stop this chokehold on the forum that once was "general discussions" And I agree with Canibalism EDIT: Colour change and bolded.

mmmcannibalism Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Actually, the meaningless threads dont bother me because they have a way of causing amusing discussions, but things like 10 children murded doesnt have much discussion value other then "wow thats terrible" Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.

Nom Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It's a phase. The "kill all news threads" phase is rapidly coming on, and soon to follow is the "nothing but incredibly valuable and intelligent scientific and philosophical discussion" phase.

WookieeMania12 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I thought the off-topic board was also swarmed with useless non-news related topics like this one. So much for something worth discussing.

meol Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It's a phase. The "kill all news threads" phase is rapidly coming on, and soon to follow is the "nothing but incredibly valuable and intelligent scientific and philosophical discussion" phase. It happens every year doesn't it? If it weren't for the relationship sticky we'd be flooded with relationship threads until March. As well as the "life sucks and nobody understands me" phase near the beginning of winter. If I only had enough determination and free time I'd make a comprehensive analysis of these forum cyclical phases. This signature is intentionally left blank.

WookieeMania12 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well at least the "kill all news threads by spamming it to page 3" should end this spring.

warri0r45 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I don't mind news threads, so long as there's some discussion value. It's my choice to come here and my choice to click on the threads, so if there's some thread that I don't like I have no reason to get annoyed about it.

Wisp Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well, the self link made me laugh. I personally don't mind the news threads. Sometimes I hear about something interesting, and the rest of the time I just ignore them. Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
