Silvorgold Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 remember that these threads are in the GENERAL discussion group, n general usually means basically anything, if there wasnt a general discussion group, then there wouldnt be these so called "stupid" threads, most of the ppl who make them just want ppls oppinions, n if u dont like the threads that are stupid, just dont go into them, simple as that...

Mike11212 Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Stupid Threads STupid polls There in the general forum let them be if you bitch about them the more they will pop up and as silver gold says if you don't like them ignore them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wog boy Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 yea just ignore them. no one makes you read them.... Unless you are being controlled by big green aliens who make you read every single thread on neowin like me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marineintel Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 I couldn't agree more, the threads are getting dumber by the day.... The ones that are the worst are the polls, the jokes, and the ones in which the questions are answered, but people continue to post, especially the ones that go like: Person A:I have a question, how do you do this. Person B:You do this. Person C.I also do that. Person D:I agree with Person B, you should do that. Person E:I have been doing what Person B reccomended for years now. Person A:Thank you Person B for the help. I only see three needed messages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickedkitten Veteran Posted March 3, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2002 most of the threads in the general section lately are as pointless as my bf trying to give me a wedgie when I'm already wearing a thong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keldyn Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Originally posted by mOOzilla oh lighten up :) ive stopped now :) Theyre in the joke forum, the correct place. U dont get the joke, some1 else might. Oh really ? Lets hope so. In the past 15 minutes i have seen atleast three childish threads from you. The last being "april desktops" only a couple minutes ago. Are you really that immature ? Bored ? Or just stupid.... which one !? :right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mOOzilla Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Dont read the joke forum then or post your own. As i said, ive stopped. I was just surfing and found some fun pictures or sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponsorless Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 If you don't like the title of the thread don't go. If Polls and Threads are stupid why did this guy made this stupid thread and poll. And if people want to write whatever they want they can. Wasn't the US of A founded on Liberty?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mOOzilla Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Even sadder is the fact that they start a flame thread, thats just lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted March 3, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2002 no, what bugs me is how these forums went from 80% helpful and on topic/20% pointless to over 80% pointless and 20% helpful and on topic. yeah, you can still find answers here, but it's gonna take longer cuz of all the spam/crap you have to sift through. i don't look at the joke thread, i think it's a waste of space and just causes trouble. i don't feel it's appropriate to this site, there are other more suitable venues for that type of stuff. but when i come to the main page this is what i see: 5 of the last 8 threads are totally useless. i seriously think Neobond and/or the mods need to come up with something better for these forums, they are degrading every day now in their quality content.

mOOzilla Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 What may be useful is a filter in the options to display the topic groups that are last updated rather than them all. Shouldnt be too difficult to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Agree with BroChaos. Sure.. people can avoid these absurd threads but why the hell even post tripe like this to begin with !?!? Are you really just that starved for attention !? In case you have not noticed yet, it makes people mad ! We come here for news. News on windows, IT etc... not childish crap about "knobs" and "llamas". They are not jokes, thats called "lamerness". The mods do a great job of watching these threads but sadly some crap like these stupid threads will slip through the antilamer net. Upping the min join age is an ideal solution.

mOOzilla Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 I havnt posted any new threads. all i see now is threats not threads. Tinman is postin flamewar threads. So that kind of thread is ok is it? Good example setting there. People like you keeping replying to those threads also makes you keep them active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 The only safe forum is the programming forum. You can ask a question and get an answer right away. Better yet, only relevant replies are posted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
