Why the rules around the OTD fail.

And your point of the War is moronic because that will just create tension and flame wars between different view points.

Nice contradiction.

And I didn't make a point about the war at all, threads about it would mean that view points could be discussed, flame wars are why we would need our mods.

When will Mr. Pink pass 2k posts? Status: OPEN
http://nexgenwars.com/forum/off-topi...-2k-posts.html

I think this is unjust. Sure it was before the SCP, but it served a purpose and was over one line.

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dog-gonnit, people like me!

I call B.S. - You say they don't matter, but to who? You? Well obviously they matter to SOMEONE.

Do I think those threads are useless, probably. Are they funny, yes. Do they matter, YES!

I'm backing up Carnage with this one.

How did I make a contradiction? It was meant to discuss lives, but as I said, it was not meant to be the most posted on forum on NexGen Wars.

An example of a good thread: South Park to mock guitar hero.
Music Discussion Thread
NHL Thread.

Bad:
I made a doody.
I farted.
I'm bored.
Predict when I'll reach 5K.

Well I'm calling Carnage's thread his so I just thought I'd carry it on. No offense intended

I sure miss all those "Hey this is my 3,217th post" threads that people so loved to start back in the day. Off topic should still have at least some sort of worthwhile topic of discussion.

Your perspective is different than ours, therefore we will disagree and since we decide what goes on, you're going to have to live with that. Nothing has changed. Sure, I won't let you have people predict when you'll reach a certain post count, cry me a river. You can post things about music, sport, hobbies, interesting events, videos etc... People do everyday.

We tried it before and it was a horrible bitch fest with people throwing insults left, right and center. Quite frankly, it had it's test run and it crashed and burned. We decided this forum was best left with the subjects aside and that was that.

That was 3 months ago. A lot has changed since then.

Not my problem, the most spammy thing about it is the replies it got. I, personally, would have no problem with it but if another mod feels it deserves to be locked, that's up to their discretion and I respect that. If you have a qualm about your thread being locked, discuss it with them over pm.

Cute.

Never said it did mean spam. 5 mil thread is the ultimate spam thread, but if we want to post a thread about a youtube video, we should. Off Topic is about anything really, people find interesting things and do interesting things every day too.

And as to the bolded statements, I love the contradiction.

Good for you
