Why does this community care so much about what other members of this community choose to post about

[Moth_Monk]

...and then post threads about what other people post threads about?

I'm sorry I had to! Forgive me!

And I've learned there's a 100 character limit to thread titles...

Capthcha: out of sorts

That's right captcha. Normally I don't try to show off my intellectual prowess by being meta and post-modern and also self referential...and ironic it seems...

Flippantly, I'd say that if there's one thing gamers hate more than people who aren't gamers, it's people who are gamers.

I'll answer the title the best I can:
Because every time you make a thread about something that's controversial/already has hundreds of other threads like it, people are allowed to ***** and moan and say 'Oh look, this thread again'. Because dammit, this is their free-to-use website and how dare you clog up the boards with something you would like to discuss. You follow their rules about what you can and can't do - okay? Okay.

No to be honest, I don't think you had to make this thread

I agree with you.

Let's make an entire board. We'll call it Meta.

I think people just like to moan. Moaning is fun though

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

Well when there are already six threads in the past week about comic recommendations and somebody for some reason needs to make another thread about comic recommendations even if he/she can plainly see there's already a thread about this very thing on the first page, it does get a little annoying.

I don't think people need to make new threads complaining about these threads though, if you want to complain you can just do it in the thread you have an issue with...

I do think people can be a little harsh when the last thread in question was made a month ago. It's only when a topic is repeated almost weekly that it gets to me.

If you won't do it, I will might.

I think its an urge to get a badge.

Or they are too fucking stupid to not click on the links to threads that obviously don't appeal to them.


No people can't be that fucking stupid and still work a computer, right?

This.
A lot of these controversial threads that get HUGE and keep getting repeated, are created for the purpose of badge fishing.

Funny thing is that half the reason they get so huge is because of all the people posting "Not this thread again."

I'm liking this idea!

I enjoy an occasional cigar, preferably when being lenient or liberal in body so either naked in the hot tub, around a bonfire or campfire, or other types of scenarios. Sometimes in clothes as well.

What about you?

Is this thread going in slow motion for anyone else?

The Escapist has always been like that.

It used to have troll threads with three pages full of "Don't feed the troll" as replies.

I am not sure if the people who posted it after the first person were just idiots, or idiots who thought they were being clever.

It's normally speed but it keeps rotating. It's fucking annoying.
