i think that what you basically did was outline - in a very wordy way - the things that annoy you about OOT.

[/ QUOTE ]

True, but if I titled it 'What annoys me about OOT' I'd be no more than bitching about things and I would come across as having little to say.

I knew this would happen anyhow, but at least the way it is now comes across as having a genuine interest in improving the forum.

all you did was put up a thread that is going to be littered with all the things you hate.

[/ QUOTE ]

I knew this would happen before I posted it. The thing is, if at least some people read it with an open mind it'll be worth the flaming I get.

[/ QUOTE ]

sorry to quote everything - know that's one of the no no's - but don't you think another (and much more controllable by you) option would be to quit being so upset by things?

that's the point everyone who flames you is trying to make.

i think that mat, [censored] (although i think he got carried away once or twice), and astro all do a good job to keep the noise and junk down. too much more you may as well go set up your own forum with your own rules...

just my opinion of course...

Maybe you should stop wearing commie t-shirts, and stop making everyone want to think like you.

G) When someone posts a picture to convey a sentiment, usually sarcasm.

No images, man!? well that's great, that's just [censored]' GREAT, man! now what the [censored] are we supposed to do?

We're in some real pretty [censored] now, man!

That's it, man! game over, man! GAME OVER.

6) Posts that don't contribute in any way

[/ QUOTE ]

Like this one? You said exactly zero things that haven't been said many, many, many times.

... sometimes reading it gives me a feeling similar to watching home improvement, or spaceballs, and i have to go lay down.

spaceballs is a classic.

You're right but none of the stuff you list is anything to lose sleep over. There is a lot of intelligent discussion in this forum, but many of the posters here are socially retarded. When someone replies with "YSSCKY" it's definitely true that they are unoriginal and unfunny, but mostly they are just trying to fit in socially in this community.

maybe, but it makes me feel kinda headachy and sick feeling. i think because i've seen it too many times.

Don't be sorry to quote everything. It serves a purpose.

Probably. I have a personality flaw that causes me to always want to improve things that I enjoy. I know I am being anal in writing the original post, and if thats all people see it for I am prepared to accept that.

I realize that OOT is an anything goes type of arena. Sifting through many non-contributing posts in a thread is cumbersome, especially in popular threads with pages of dialogue. I don't read this all day, so a lot of posts have 100 replies before I see it once. I don't reply to them often because I don't see the point in saying something that's already been said and I don't see the point in bumping a thread no one cares about anymore.
