dont post in the pointless threads and they will fade away. Duplicate ones get combined or deleted, the lounge is what it is, a lounge with no criteria what gets posted in it, and i believe that it saves the actual music forums from getting overrun with off topic threads. It serves its purpose, its a melting pot for anything non-music related. If you want a serious topic, start a serious thread, if you want to play a game start a thread, if you want to talk about how you hurt your back trying to lick your own ass, start a thread..just try and help out and keep it in the lounge where it belongs.

surely a warning to these idiots (yes, you know who you are) like a sticky at the top of the page, would at least improve the situation. i dont see the point in threatening to leave because lets face it, whoever does that always comes back

I agree, but natrually thats just bitching again.

:rofl: really??

^??? im slow today, fill me in on the joke.

Spluh. Quit taking it so personally. Is it that hard to believe that I do get tired of threads complaining about how this forum is? If you hate it, leave, dont make more threads of complaint.

Hmm. You think newbies always read through the stickies before they post? They rarely read any of it. Cant blame em. Its just "Oooooh, posting" and they're off.

I just think its stupid that we get told to shut up for trying to address a problem.

the problem is, its a problem that wont go away while threads you are complaining about are getting 30 or more posts a day. ignore them and they will fade to the back of the line like all the other long lost and forgotten threads. everytime you post in one to say how stupid the thread is, it gets bumped up to the front of the line for everyone to see, making it more likely to get posted in again, and the vicious circle continues...

Then I guess its just a difference of opinion, because I personally think its stupid that we get so many of these fapping complaints-about-how-the-forum-is-run threads.

and i think its stupid we have so many threads rating the above users whatever.
