Ok, I don't get this, I mean seriously...is this a new trend here? Are some of you that bored that you gotta post song lyrics or what not to get some attention? I'm sitting here going through the threads and the first page packed with either song lyrics or people bragging about reaching a certain number of posts. People, discuss something, post a picture, ask a question....something!!! Man, I miss TLG's posts. At least those made me THINK.

Would you rather be seeing posts of people griping and being nasty all the time(where IS prominx anyway?)or can you just take a deep breath, and "let it go"...sometimes there is just nothing overwhelmingly interesting to post about. I'm actually getting bored of people saying they are bored with boring posts :laugh:

Come on now, any time you spend in off topic is essentially useless :P

if tlg's posts are the only ones that made you think, then maybe you oughta actually read some of the other posts. i see a lot that make me think. some make me laugh, some make me wince. but they almost always make me think.

Ok...obviously it's time to resurrect my old thread so that we don't keep adding useless topics to the forums.

It's called OFF Topic for a reason. It's supposed to be a little fun thread for nonsense idiocy that's still kinda interesting. If the topic is something you don't sound interested in, then don't read it! No one is forcing you to read the posts that are stupid to you or whatever. Don't complain, just don't participate.

I understand it's off topic and it's fun, but sometimes they're really pointless ;)

I totally agree UT Memo, but if you ask me Off Topic and pointless are pretty close to synonyms.

BTW, some of those "thought provoking" posts are WAY TOO LONG! They pretty much lose my attention after the first 3 paragraphs... (if I even get that far).

So pretty much, you gotta take the bitter with the sweet. I still say that the G|A forums are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!

so what are you saying here? You don't like my very long keep it rollin? *sniff*
