that alone makes all of this worth every second, pointless crap or not.

I was hoping that everything I said from that point on would kind of be taken as a huge, overexaggerated joke...but I guess that one eluded you. I will read the stuff later but man ooooooo man is it hillarious...like when you say you can taste the mountain(sadly I really said that).Originally posted by ShlupQuack
Definatly should've read the posts first, ed. Yup.
And don't call Spatty an asshole please. It hurts me on my insides.
EDIT: I actually read the thread at this point and the post here and I must say that it seems like fun is only allowed when it is serious talk and not non-sense. If you will all excuse me I have to go talk to sephex about tasting the mountain and telling him about my MK 2 fanfic(go bereeky!)

I could have sworn we already had this argument. I love nonsense, but everyone else here hates it so it doesn't exist at EoFF.

On topic...
Yeah, I agree with BOU. I think a little non-sense now and then would lighten this place up.

I agree with Shlup and ed. Why was it closed if people were having fun? It's not spam because it was on topic, and it's not as pointless as word association because it's not just one-word posts and the people posting find it funny. Probably the only reason I am still at EoFF is because of an interactive story in General chat ages ago that kept me coming back and posting.
Plus, it's one of the only threads I've started while sobre.
Bleys said big threads like that hurt the database somehow. That and the fact that there will be a berjillion of them if they're reallowed are what I imagine the reasons are for not allowing them. Unless there's some kind of secret admin plot to kill all fun.
And of course, ed approves of that thread. Need I say more? *wins the argument* *leaves*
Thank you Unne; finally someone actually gave a crap enough to back me up. Cheers guys.

I'm gonna go out and say that yes, one-sentence-per-posts stories are all crappy and tend to be unentertaining, in my opinion.
But if it's a continuous story where you can write a paragraph or so, I think that'd work.
EDIT: That one wasn't anything fantastic at all, though.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
There's far bigger threads than that one out there (like almost everything in GC). I remember Bleys outlawing word association threads, but that's an interactive story. Aren't they different?
I don't think it was doing any harm, and people were enjoying it. But yeah, maybe they do cause database problems and such. Pity they couldn't just be kept in moderation, rather than all-out banning of that type of thread.
I think the only problem it causes in the database is that if there are a lot of them then you have to go in and clean things up more often. I don't see how more posts in one thread would actually screw up the database. It just doesn't make any sense...but then again it is a computer...but then again we never had problems in the past...except for that one word association thread that got to 1000 posts...but that was also a month or less after I joined the site and I am problably the one who remembers it.
They're not flat-out banned. Just the crap ones get closed. If a group of people make one that is genuinely funny and in good taste, then it's allowed to live, simple as that. However, a limit would be placed upon it due to the afore-mentioned space issues.
Simply enough, that thread was crap, and as such, I closed it. Deal with it.

And if more than one is created just delete the other ones. Surely one thread with a few hundred posts isn't going to do too much. What about the endless number of photo threads where the same people continually post photos of themselves albeit from slightly different angles? And the one's where people post their latest desktop theme, as if people actually want to see what image they decided to set as wallpaper today? And the one's where people post links to crappy flash videos or websites, that seem to be the onlt threads in General Chat lately? And the one's where people ask those stupid questions like "what colour are you eyes?", does anyone actually care? And what about the ones where people post those quotes that they said in chat but are only funny to themselves? And what about those stupid threads where people complain about threads being closed...oh wait.
Anyway I hope you get my point that the majority of threads here are pointless. Really, they are.
Please post what you would think is funny. That way I can make one that is entirely based on what you find funny and thus will not get closed.Originally posted by Purgatory

You're absoloutely right, I better get cracking on closing some of those right now. xPAnd what about those stupid threads where people complain about threads being closed...oh wait.
I still agree that if you make a better one, it'd be worth keeping. =P Try doing it in the Writer's Corner, though.

Thanks to Hootenanny I didn't eventually have to say that stuff about the photothreads which take up so much space and NEVER DIE...until someone decides to close it.
What is crap to you isn't crap to other people. They were having fun and you put a stop to it. If it had degraded down in the the levels which I will not describe because all of your feeble hearts would not be able to handle the RAW POWER of it...then it would have been cool with me but it was no where close. All I see is that you felt it wasn't right so you decided to close it.Simply enough, that thread was crap, and as such, I closed it. Deal with it.
