What happened to….?

Obviously, if you spend your free time trawling the interweb looking for Word Association, answer – ask – answer, 5 word story, 3 word story, word game or interview the next poster type threads.

This is getting funny now! :rolleyes:

Some of us have other interests apart from PLANE SPOTTING and roses.

a lot of them find it less intimidating that having your every word ,spelling or punctuation dissected by some one, who’s only joy in life is trying to humiliate other posters or start arguments.

but may be the folks who hate this type of thing find it hard to communicate with other human beings in a civil manner.

These type of things are on most forums

Is that most forums in general or just those you frequent.

I’ve just done a very quick survey and the following don’t appear to have any threads quite as mindless as the ones listed above:-

WW2talk.com
prune.org
12oclockhigh.net
rafcommands.currentbun.com
ww2aircraft.net (appears to have one only)
fightercontrol.co.uk
warbirdinformationexchange.org
aeroplanemonthly.com/forums

Well ,seen as one of those” mindless drivel “threads on that forum was started by me i thought a post wouldn’t go a miss.
I find posting on these types of threads FUN and relaxing after a hard day it dosent make the posters on these type of things less interesting, a lot of them find it less intimidating that having your every word ,spelling or punctuation dissected by some one, who’s only joy in life is trying to humiliate other posters or start arguments.
These type of things are on most forums and coexist with much more serious posts happly,but may be the folks who hate this type of thing find it hard to communicate with other human beings in a civil manner.

I wouldn’t say that…since the clean up, its place has taken by flamefigths and assorted discussion that roses nothing but bad temper…but back then, this part of this forum was joyfull place to visit while taking a rest of the military sides hulabaloo…

But I understand the bandwith and archive proplem that over 10,000 post threads would generate…while a better solution migth would have been that mods would have deleted posts in regular basis staring from the beging of the threads(who really wanted to read whole 3 word story from the beging:eek: ), and therefore keep them in check…after all a sort of rutine task that I wouldnt expect to burden nobody that much…;)

Mindless drivel? What on Earth are you talking about? I really enjoyed playing Slingshot Santa… My highest score was 279.8 metres, so at least I’ve achieved something worthwhile today.

I’ll grant you that it is mildly more stimulating than Word Association, answer – ask – answer, 5 word story, 3 word story, word game or interview the next poster.

I firmly believe that this forum is much richer for the removal of these types of threads, probably not as active, but quality must be preferred to quantity?

Can’t beat Mini Golf when you’re insanely bored 😉

If you really want to take part in that mindless drivel, look no further than here

Many thanks. I’d love to know what happened to this thread since yesterday, though. Anyway, I appreciate the opportunity. Sure are some strange people out there, aren’t there?
