Association for the Betterment of GD

[Doctor Love]

You know how people are always complaining about how the “General Discussions” forum is getting worse? Well, I think I might know why, and it isn’t entirely because of idiotic members, but more idiotic (unintelligent, stupid, lame) threads. Luckily for all of us, this is a fixable problem. All we have to do is start making better threads.

I issue a challenge (double-dare?) to everyone who has ever said (typed) that the forums are dying, being overcrowded with noobs, etc. – I want all of you to create one funny and/or interesting thread. One that lasts. Create a decent thread, keep it on subject (don’t let it turn into random discussions), keep it witty, entertaining, and basically GD-worthy. If everyone who claims that the forums used to be so much better than they are now, how could it not get better?

The challenge is issued. I expect veterans to flame me as a noob and the noobs to flame me by saying something like “lol vival u cud mak it better by leavin”. Fortunately, this is a sacrifice I am willing to take. Unless it turns out too ugly.

Note: Yes I’m aware that the game of TAO itself is going downhill, but that is out of our grasps.

Yeah, but thinking about a good idea for a thread is hard.

[Hellblazer]

So...in order to cut down on spam and n00b threads, you want us to create, in essence, more of those threads?

Does a Five Word Story Thread count as a good thread?

Just trying to not post stupid things is a great way to start.

question...what if we like joining associations but don't necessarily want to make the section "better"?

*attaches collar to woger*

that'll keep you from wandering into threads like these!

[Realist]

See Vival? It's not that threads are getting worse, it really does have to do with the posters. You post a great thread, and what do you get? Some of Woger's trademark quality humor :rolleyes: and some 5000-post kid who completely misses your point.

Excuse me? I'm at around 4,600 posts.

Be realistic!

Good times.

Haven't made a good thread so far, so how the hell can I make a good thread now?

Yes you have. Here (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19573) is one, and there are plenty more.

You're only encouraging him to reply.

Haha. Wait wait, this was a nice thread woger. EHehe i liked it, and well realist you were very unfair there, if you allow a lot of "rate the avatar bellow" and something like that why dont you allow the funny of woger, i cant understand, actually there is "rate something" in all of our forums.

Part of the reason could have been that it had been done before, it was called the This or That (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12676) thread. The original thread was never closed, so recreating another would lack purpose.

Read my first post in this thread one more time, then go here (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4319) and diss on Rugby.

I know 90 million fans who would disagree.

[Glamdring]

I would actually say instead that less threads should be made.

When you say you challenge everyone to make a thread, what are we going to get? A lot of threads, most of them useless.

Instead I challenge everyone to not make threads. Ever. Unless you have the best idea in the world. Or pretty close anyways.

So creating a thread announcing that you're actually a male when you're not, is close to the best idea for a thread?

I issued a challenge to those members who have said (typed) that the forums are dying, being overcrowded with noobs, etc. Most of the members who say (type) that the forums are going downhill are usually veterans who have witnessed the forum at it's peak. Why would someone who doesn't know what quality threads are like say that the forums are dying? They have nothing to relate it too.

Exactly. I'm challenging people to only create a good thread that is funny and/or interesting.

It was funny and did last. It got a reaction from people and wasn't garbage.

WTF GLAM! are you guy or girl, please?

[Cuathon]

he got you there glammy. that wasnt exactly beneficial to the forum.
i think that the spirit of thisthread rather than the point is more important. dont post stupid threads. and try to make posts consistent with the thread. of course that's a tall order for some of us, possibly including myself, so i dont really think this thread will change much.

glam is a girl ric.

[Doctor Love]

WTF GLAM! are you guy or girl, please?
She is a female. Read the thread, I think it was on page 32? (don't correct me)

[Moose]

Personally this thread looks more like an sadistic irony discussion, but thats just me.

[ricardu]

I am lot lazy to read 1 page do you think i will read a thread with more than 50 posts ?? No way man no way.

You don't have to read all 37 pages to find out. A little more than 2 pages back someone mentions it.
