...if they are stupid.
As one or two people have commented, this is beginning to cross the line from silly to stupid. Current posts will stay open, but any future ones will be my favourite GEN-GEN GESTAPO LOCKED THREADS.

But what if a n00b posts a "What do YOU..." in 2 yrs? How long are we banned from these topics?

That's a fucking ridiculous idea, DarkStalkey. Until the posts actually become ridiculous, ala DG's "what's your favourite my ass" (or whatever it was) on EZBoard, there's absolutely no reason to lock threads.

Awww, I'm gonna cry now...You don't have to lock 'em, just delete as soom as they go onto the 2nd page...Isnt that a good idea? hmm?

So posts containing "Please share with us the best *insert* for you" are fine?

But what if we make them more efficient? Imagine how much we can learn from each other VERY quickly!


"WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTER/ WORLD WAR II DISASTER/ BRAND OF SAUSAGE/ FORM OF PETROLEUM TRANSPORTATION/ POSITION FOR LOVEMAKING/ GOLDMINING LEGEND OF THE 1800's??????"

Am I the only one that agrees with Dark Stalkey? These threads are becoming ridiculous and it's usually an elite few who are starting them. Gah, enough! :P

See "What's your favourite SEXUAL POSITION". Come on AGA, you've been around long enough to know that it's hit the stage where it will deteriorate into a "what's ass is my ass favoruite ass ass" situation within hours, and Pirate Jack's thread is proof of this.

Layabout

The makers of my ass must have liked my ass was the thread. And it was started by DeeGee.

Anyway, what makes you think I am not conducting a survey!?

Am I the only one freaked out by Rich's avatar and how many of his characters look like Malcovich?

Malcovich. Malcovich.


if Lay's got one thing, he has style.

Mandarb the Fruegel ....

I think a little forum silliness (from time to time) is okay because I think these threads are supposed to point out that there IS some forum silliness going on.

But I can just see Chris checkin' his wallet to make sure he can afford the extra bandwidth we're using here :)

I don't disagree with stupid threads getting locked, same as they always are, even when stupid crazes aren't occuring. But  I'm saying you shouldn't automatically lock a thread just 'cause its title contains THOSE WORDS!!!11! Just lock the obviously ridiculous ones, ala favourite kitchen appliance and favourite type of animal to fuck or whatever they think of next...

Pumaman

Personally, I liked the Kitchen Appliance thread. It was a way of subtly pointing out that the other threads were silly.

Moox

why lock? This is general forum. People dont have to read them.

Pumaman

Regardless of this particular issue, "people don't have to read it" is not an excuse for posting pointless crap.

Las was absolutely against it. He hates everything recall.  And I actually do have an affinity towards toasters.
