Yeah, that was my point. If I don't like a thread, I'm not there. I don't bust in and make a total dick of myself. My. Point.

I gotta agree that the "New Posts" view is pretty tedious right now.

The Answer then, Mr V, is not to perpetuate them, but write something interesting in the good ones. Or quit using the new posts view.

I don't mind stupid pointless threads. I do mind when some days they seem to be the majority of what I see in new posts. Personally, I don't get it. Clone threads were funny for a minute. Goofy threads are fun, but how many can really justify their very own thread? I just try to ignore them and sift through to find the interesting (to me) stuff.

But hey, someone must be enjoying them, right?

Yep, I think the best thing to do would be to open a new forum for 'personal threads' or whatever. I used to sometimes post on a board where every member had their own 'kissy' thread where people could go and post mushy bullshit online crap to their cyber friends. I found the whole concept vomitious and avoided that forum like the plague (pardon the pun). It worked though because there was nowhere near the level of crap floating around the other forums because the people who wanted to play in those sorts of threads did so.

This week on the cellar, they're in several different forums and I think it's simply annoying to sift through the shit to find the stuff worth reading.

I just don't understand how so many cannot just seem to ignore what they don't want to participate in.
So confusing.
