I'm constantly seeing people posting in threads they think are crap saying that it IS crap... or other people constantly posting about how a certain thread has been done numerous times...
my question is, which is really worse, posting a topic that has been done a few times, or posting a message in a perfectly good thread saying how lame it is, or how worn out it is, when even if it has been done it could still spark some more conversation if it hadn't been done for a while... Posting those types of messages, that it's crap and all, just clutters the damn thread, and is annoying, and I think ruins a chance for a good discussion...

What pisses me off is people who make stupid topics.... 3/4 of the topics are fuckin' rediculous. STOP STARTIN NEW TOPICS that are DUMB!!!! Use your head.
OH man, that really pisses me off. IF you want to say something random and you feel like you just have to say it, do it in a pre-exsisting thread. GAH!!!

why does it tick you off? What is it doing to you? Just IGNORE THE DAMN THREAD instead of posting, and I quote,
"This topic is sad - Jedi Chris is sad!
*shakes head in disgust*

And another thing, people engage in conversation on here too. Here's an idea, get AIM or YAHOO or MSN , talk there. This is message board, not a delayed- chat- posting- nonsense- board.
If i was a moderator there would be alot more closed topics and alot less idiots on here. Ok im done. Im happy now =)
-peace-

1.-shit topics 2.-shit opinions 3.-shit newcomers

but you aren't a moderator... and if people want to engage in conversation on HERE, why can't they? Why does that bother you? Do you want to be included in the conversation or something? I really don't see why it should bug you... all these messages aren't taking up space on YOUR computer, so just ignore them if you're not interested in posting in them...

but do we really need to have the same discussions over and over again?
people seem to have this overwhelming urge to make small talk about meaningless things just for the sake of talking (in real life too...not just on the messageboard) maybe if people spent less time rambling about nonsense...and more time thinking of more interesting topics...conversations would be much more worthwhile..
i think having numerous people saying 'this thread is crap' in all of your threads is a good indication that youre starting too many stupid threads
i say quality over quantity as far as conversations go...

All I want is some people to stop making pathetic topics about shit. Simple request. I'd be proactive and start my OWN topics, but I'm lazy.

Ophecks:
I agree, in fact, not only that, when you don't have anything to say, DON'T EVEN POST, much less make your own topic. I think I am actually logged in and browsing this message board a litle more than some people with a much higher ost count than me...notice I've been here a very very long time but am not nearly in the top 10 . (That is not to say that post # has an inverse relationship with quality of post)
Funkmaster:
I agree for the most part, two points though:
1. I never say, "This has been done already!" except with the intent to encourage people to use the search tool. But honestly, right now I don't blame them, there are so many threads to search through, and the search tool is shit. No offense to Tune, who is an amazing programmer, I just don't think he put his all into the search function, during beta I suggested that thraeds be searchable by topic (which it is now) but you can't choose if you want to search by message, username, or thread title. And the fact that you can't search for strings, (i.e. "Aphex" reveals the same amount of results as "Aphex Twin") renders the search tool pretty much useless now unless you can think of and remember a rare word that was used in the thread you want. We just have to hope this is improved in XLTRONIC
2. Isn't there some irony in starting a thread telling other people (who post that other people's posts/threads are crap) that their posts/threads are crap? Kind of circular logic. =)
3. Fuckit, I love this board. Aphex Twin is god. Glad there's people out there somewhere to share it with.
Thank you for your attention.
