I've seen the Ghost Car video before.... For some reason, I wasn't nearly as scared when I first saw that compared to that........ Thing..... :scared:

First time I saw the comic it startled me at first, but only because of the noise. I expected something to happen to the girl. Took me a few seconds to realize it was silly to be scared of that.

I think I'll pass on that.

On another topic... I think I'm feeling a bit strange today again.

Look at anything but that comic....... I will have nightmares for the rest of my life of that...... :scared:
The first time I read that comic was, there was a user who linked to the original and asked if a person who can understand Korean can read it and explain the plot. I swear, I did not expect that automatic scroll effect. I think they had it so that the mouse will be disabled for a moment ><

I think I'll pass on that.

That's a good idea ;_;

And what happened today?

What is the deal with all these What was the... What are you... How... threads? I've looked through them, and there isn't any actual conversations going on in them. Wouldn't it make more sense to just consolidate those threads into 1 called Whatsup? Or just talk about that stuff here? They seem like a gigantic waste of time.

Probably because it'll cause an outcry and it isn't much of a problem. It was suggested a while ago every board have their own general chat thread which was then put into motion, which is probably why there are so many chat threads now. This chat, tea in the garden random messages, the situation room and the entertainment inc. chat (something with bomb in the title) all predate that though.

Well, they are a problem. People just use them to post and run. Up their post count. This in turn buries new threads that might otherwise get looked at.

That's their point, the kids like to have a higher post count.

But, posting for the sake of posting is just dumb. At the end of the day does it really matter what your post count is?

I believe in quality over quantity.

You aren't forced to contribute to them. If you want a discussion thread about whatever, post it if we don't already have one.

Pretty much all of them are stickied, meaning they can bury nothing. Also what do you care if people use them to up their post count. Are you saying you're jealous of other people's post counts? :p

You've completely missed the point. I'm not talking about chats, I'm talking about the threads I've mentioned above. And, no post count is the least of my concerns. My concern is that these dumb threads that people use to hit and run are burying threads that are new.

If a thread is buried, that'd suggest they aren't popular with the community, few or none want to contribute.

Oh those things. Don't see why you would expect conversation in them, but yeah they are stupid. And do bury better threads. Before we got all those the OtB forum certainly was more fun.

I've seen threads that have only been up for an hour buried by these threads by the actions of only 1 user within the span of like 10 minutes.

So it has nothing to do with popularity.

If you think it's a huge problem, contact one of the mods of the section.
