Messageboard Games, Post Count Boosters or Inane Needless Threads?

[Darthphere]

I have one of the highest post counts here but it's never been because of Lounges, or Game threads. Somoene posted something and I responded. I stand behind every post I've made.

Same here. Also, I'm all for eliminating post counts.

 

[Erzengel]

Hmm... surely it can't be as bad as hundreds of pages devoted to Tom Welling as Superman manips.

I'm sorry. I just can't help insulting the Smallville boards when I get a chance.

I love your avatar. :heart:

 

[Nirvana]

I'm not talking about Survivor, Hype Idol or games of that nature.

Honestly:

Word Association
Fiver Letter Thread - Part 2
You Talking to Me? Movie Banter v2.0

Epic Conversations - Song Lyric Banter

I badmouth the Lounges but is there anything useful that can be learned from these threads?

And if you are taking entertainment from figuring out 5 letters into a sentence maybe you should reevaluate your priorities.

Or just tell me the truth, is it just a way to boost your post count?

I totally agree. I've always thought they were pointless and a cheap way at boosting your post count.

 

[Immortalfire]

I stand behind every post I've made.

I certainly hope so. Particularly those made to your prized pupil, GR87. If he ever straightens out, it'll be because of you.

 

[kingman]

Well, I guess I can tell everyone I'm eating spaghetti today and tomorrow, I'm hoping for a Wendy's Salad.


Where's the full fledged conversation in the 5 letter game or the 3 word story?


And I've done a "game" thread, and I think I did 21 posts out of the 5,611 posts and that's something I created.

Well since you seem to have gone around the challenge, I am left with no other opinion other than you're just not capable of doing such things. Maybe your hate of the threads stems from this and you just can't think of anything better to do.

You backed out of the challenge as far as I can see. Just proves that you aren't such a bigshot after all. When you decide to grow some and step up to the plate there will be some people waiting to show you how it's done.

Don't knock something just because you aren't capable of doing it.

 

[Erzengel]

JAL has recently said he's over Alba and called his behavior foolish and a silly crush.

Which just goes to show you, my work speaks for itself.

I agree

What about his volcanic temper?

It has nothing to do with being capable of doing it, it's the fact that there's no point in carrying out conversations on the basis of what is essentially a gimmick.

I've stated I've created and posted in my own game thread.

And let's not fool ourselves here, being able to tell me what you ate for lunch, quoting a movie, or making a 5 word sentence out of 5 letters doesn't make you an enlightened individual.

 

[Immortalfire]

Baby Steps Fire. Baby Steps.

I'm just saying, I don't appreciate someone making threats to members of ripping out their intestines, and wearing them as a necklace.

Kingman suffers from the whole, it's not funny when it hits too close to home.

Hahahaha.

You can't rush therapy, Fire.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

Okay I've figured out a way this can all be solved so everyone will be happy, start up a policy where any sub par responses (in a game thread) result in a "on the spot" banning so it adds an element of jeopardy to the game.

 

[kingman]

Half of the Hype is based on gimmick based on that theory. Even this thread comes about because some people like them and others don't. If you haven't tried something but knock it anyway, then your opinion is based on nothing. Try it and then knock it, sure but never before giving something a chance.

Just like I could say that this is a post count booster and an inane needless thread. If this thread wasn't here, my post count would be slightly lower than what it is now. Was there a need for this thread to exist? Highly doubtful. So what makes it any different than the games?

But what was your "game thread" based upon?

Let's not get too complicated for Erzengel... for whatever reason people choose to post in the threads, it's entirely up to them but you don't see many people complain about the games such as Survivor or Hype Idol where posters have to apply to be a part of the threads. Couldn't these also be seen as post boosters for those who are allowed in to them and needless for the people who aren't? Based on how you look at things, I would say so.

WRONG.

We are discussing ideas, thoughts and comments in this thread.

In the 5 letter thread it's just post after post of AWRUI and then the next QKUMN.

What Are You Wearing now, is a little different than the Female thread, or the Youtube thread. You're not gaining any real insight into posters here?

But what was your "game thread" based upon?

Scavenger Hunt. Type something, they have to find a picture.

No.

Messageboards are all just places to have a good time but in MOST threads there is a back and forth, humor or even entertainment or to even learn a thing or two.

Do not compare your 5 letter thread, which btw, is the only reason you are harping on this considering you are the originator of the new one, to threads that require someone to post more than a 5 word sentence.

 

[Darthphere]

Kingman caught feelings yo. Erz be sonning.

How odd because for a moment there I thought that this was just another little rant from Erzengel... no wait, it still is. Seriously can you please tell me what this has to do with discussing game threads:

I love your avatar. :heart:

or maybe this:

JAL has recently said he's over Alba and called his behavior foolish and a silly crush.

Which just goes to show you, my work speaks for itself.

Hell, even this one:

Kingman suffers from the whole, it's not funny when it hits too close to home.

I could've swore you hated lounges but that looks like a lounge mentality to me.

What Are You Wearing now, is a little different than the Female thread, or the Youtube thread. You're not gaining any real insight into posters here?

It allows others to gain the insight of how people prefer to dress. Maybe, just maybe, there is someone on the hype with the same style as another. What you wear is pretty much your social identity, therefore the thread offers something to those that choose to post in it

Scavenger Hunt. Type something, they have to find a picture.

Same mentality as song lyric or movie banter threads. Someone posts lyrics or a quote and the next person must find something suitable to coincide with what has been said. Therefore carrying on the conversation.

No.

So now you think you know me because I decided to defend something that I enjoy doing. If I hadn't made the 5 letter thread last night, someone else would have done just the same. But I would still be in this thread saying pretty much everything I have already said. You say that messageboards are all just places to have a good time. However, if a thread doesn't meet your standards they're apparently useless.

To me a lot of your threads are looking to gain you some attention by throwing up whatever pops into your little head. I definitely say that you suffer from double standards. If someone else was to make a dumb thread you would be attacking it but if you come up with the exact same idea, it's wonderful. You should be admireed for it etc.

You have a big mouth, you like to slam and cause controversy at times but when the time comes to put up or shut up... you change things around to suit you.

 

[Darthphere]

There's a clear difference between lounges, and off topic conversations.

 

[ComicChick]

JAL has recently said he's over Alba and called his behavior foolish and a silly crush.

you did a great job there.

no maybe you can convinve him in the etiquette thread to change his name to JAL or something.

Like Darthphere said, there's a difference between Lounges and Off Topic discussion that every thread usually does. And if and when I do post in the Lounge, it's topical, and I'm responding to something someone said.

It allows others to gain the insight of how people prefer to dress. Maybe, just maybe, there is someone on the hype with the same style as another. What you wear is pretty much your social identity, therefore the thread offers something to those that choose to post in it

That's reaching.

Same mentality as song lyric or movie banter threads. Someone posts lyrics or a quote and the next person must find something suitable to coincide with what has been said. Therefore carrying on the conversation.

That's not a conversation. That's not a back and forth other carrying on a thread. That's just one long inordinate post broken up into 20,000 posts.

So now you think you know me because I decided to defend something that I enjoy doing. If I hadn't made the 5 letter thread last night, someone else would have done just the same. But I would still be in this thread saying pretty much everything I have already said. You say that messageboards are all just places to have a good time. However, if a thread doesn't meet your standards they're apparently useless.

Hypocrite much?

You tend to knock things that you don't like, pretty much like saying that because Erzengel doesn't like something, it must be law. I don't see you making any attempts to try the things you knock, just to see if you like them or not.

Well since you seem to have gone around the challenge, I am left with no other opinion other than you're just not capable of doing such things. Maybe your hate of the threads stems from this and you just can't think of anything better to do.

If someone else was to make a dumb thread you would be attacking it but if you come up with the exact same idea, it's wonderful. You should be admireed for it etc.

Um, examples? Cause that's news to me.

You have a big mouth, you like to slam and cause controversy at times but when the time comes to put up or shut up... you change things around to suit you.

How am I not putting up because I don't think I need to post in your 5 letter thread?

 

[Erzengel]

you did a great job there.

no maybe you can convinve him in the etiquette thread to change his name to JAL or something.

I'll work on that.

 

[Demon Within]

Same here. Also, I'm all for eliminating post counts.

I agree. Theres no need for post counts anyway.

 

[union_jak]

I'm sure there is an option to remove posts from counting towards your post count.

The Admin could edit the Community settings so posts within didn't increase the count, which would discourage inane threads here and encourage productive posts elsewhere, if people were serious about getting a large one for an avatar.
