Chat threads, and why I closed them

They drive me fucking nuts, if you want to chat, go to AIM and log into the NYSPEED chat room, have at it…

If enough people bitch I’ll re-open them but they are too OT even for me, and make me want to stab my eyes out…

round one.

fight!

this is a democracy people so get your votes in…

^ doesnt like the “person above you threads”

its off topic man.

so whats the problem

:gotme:

thats why i put the vote up

to see if everyone hates them as much as me

if not they will get opened again :gotme:

i voted YES on PROP 17!

…it gives me something to read during work…and it keeps me amused

Right-o

I think off-topic threads should only be closed for excessive drama, excessive trolling, mean spirited-ness and racial conflicts.

^agree completely
<also like ot chat
Vhow about you

:word:

i wouldn’t go as far as to say that i like them, but there’s no ‘i couldn’t car less’ option. :stuck_out_tongue:

^ i agree with you
< it keeps me busy at work
V what’s your favorite scary movie?

postwhores

it’s been 3 hours, I’ll check back after the weekend, don’t get your shit in a bundle, postwhore in here if you like

Just a little idea… any way to eliminate signatures on those threads? Maybe an Off-Topic / Chat section where sigs don’t show up?

Why, you ask? They get in the way if you’re just trying to read the equivalent of a chat room conversation.

I just don’t click on them… I don’t see a reason to close them

it may be offtopic, but it doesnt mean anything and everything is ok. Some of the random babbling between people is just stupid.

:word:

I don’t understand how you can just close a thread because YOU think it is stupid but doesn’t harm anyone.

When I voted I was #20.

Exactly, they are not funny or informative, they serve no purpose but to waste time, and fill the board with useless crap, it’s the same people who post in them repetedly, and generaly annoy the shit out of me…

I closed them, to put this up to a vote, if by monday the majority still want them then they stay…

Lots of posts in OT are a waste of time…
