HURR I TRY TO MAKE POPULAR TOPIC SO MY EPEEN GROW!

[Daenth]

What is up with this? I have noticed people have been trying to get their topic stickied(in bluntly obvious ways), try to create a popular topic, and steal ideas from popular topics. Why? Because they want a bigger epeen, more attention, bragging rights, or to be "respected". It ticks me off when I see a topic that is obviously made to get attention. If Megathreads were intended for a forum then why not just stick a section in for Drawings, Photographs, or even Small Builds? Games and such I have nothing to say about because they are down right stupid. Unless you think of a really witty game then it won't be successful and should not be posted.

What are you rambling on about? Is there a particular topic that inspired this?

Examples of what you're whining about would be nice.

I find drama topics about abstract phenomena the most annoying loving thing that happens on these forums.

"I hate people with signatures!"
"I hate people that make 'what are you Xing right now?' topics!"
"I hate forum trends!"
"I hate the cookie monster emoticons!"

It's like you have nothing legitimate to do with your time so you sit, staring at the Drama section trying to think of something to bitch about so that people will agree with you about as to grow your ego. It's a grotesque waste of effort.

Seriously, who gives a stuff.

Hey Iban, lets go make a drama thread about .jpeg images used on the forums!

How loving stupid, who would dare waste a few kilobytes of MY BANDWIDTH?

[.::Taboo::.]

i saw "IBAN RAGES" and knew I had to zip right on down.

A good example of what you should do:

Honestly, if you have small drawings you would like to share, pool them up and put them in a thread about your work. If something is so cool you want the whole world to know about, it probably deserves it's own thread. Before you go "WHAT ABOUT GAME MEGATHREADS" well think. Would you like tons of topics of every game in a section? The games section was made for megathreads.

Oh sorry, I don't like threads that want to draw attention to the OP. It's not like people on the forums enjoy that!

You're seriously complaining about the 3D models thread, the Drawings Megathread, The Signature thread? Like really?

Megathreads like that keep those 500 pages of posts out of the rest of the forum and consolidates them into one thread. If you're specifically complaining about game threads, then you're complaining about the most popular kind of thread on almost any forum where they're legal.

[Iban]

Oh no Iban

There's no fine line between "idc" and "You are a loving moron and this post is bad and you should feel bad the topic you're posting about has no irrelevance to anything and nobody gives a stuff."

If I didn't believe firmly in Badspot's judgement I wouldn't post here.

Okay, but if you get banned i'm gonna laugh.

Stocking, he's referring more specifically to megathreads that aren't.

You're the kind of person I dislike. "It's a popular megathread! You can't complain about it." Yes, there are some megathreads that are needed. For example, the 3D model thread. I posted it there because, like the Photograph topic, it would be better for everyone to post on their own. Not post in a megathread where it would never be truly recognized.
And what Iban said:
