This thread:

What.

That's the point of fast threads you can go there instead of off-topic and see your random threads: http://facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=60

I've been told to hate facepunch. I'm not sure why, but I'm going to listen to these people.

On topic, if we took all of those out, what would be left?
Megathreads?
Right, or do I not completly understand.

Cause honestly there are a few megathreads which are understandable, like "post real life pictures" or "rate the above user" that are just random community building socialization. And others like "computer megathread" which probably has a very high appeal rate to our userbase.

But a "post pictures of dogs megathread" or a "homestuck" megathread just isn't important enough to warrent weeding out the truly random to make way for it.

If that is the case, then your syerjchep thread should just be deleted as well, since its just you blogging about your loving Internet not working or computer not having any OS, not serving any purpose and it's in the wrong loving board.

Sorry I insulted mlp lol.
It's not in the wrong board though, and we've had this discussion before.

[.:FancyPants:.]

actually, let me rephrase what i'm saying:
"what even is a fast thread?"

Appanretly it's a facepunch term.
Since you know, we all go there.

Just assume it's the oppisite of a megathread.

If we're all being selfish then yeah, I do agree on the homestuck one.

Look, maybe I came across wrong.
I don't mind ponies or homestuck or whatever.
I just don't think they should be given priority, as off topic should always focus on the random.


edit: and my syerjchep topic probably would be grouped with megathreads like the ponies one

I know you don't mind ponies, it's just you say gin that the megathread only two people posting in makes you a hypocrite :l

Okay then we need a forum for megathreads or just in general SOMETHING else so I can see content rather then these stuffty "Post x" threads.

gin - then?
I can't tell what it's supposed to be. Pardon my stupidity.

And you're referring to my syerjchep topic, I assume?

[The Big Bad Jellyfish]

I doubt Badspot will do anything of what you guys said.
Just saying, he doesn't really do much to the forums anymore.

Yes.

[DrenDran]

Yes.

Well don't get me wrong, my syerjchep topic isn't exactly random either when I keep bumping it.
But I never said any of these topics should be deleted, so I'm not sure why mine would be the exception.

It's funny because I can't really find too many of them atm.

silly dren, it's because they're fast threads!

[Soukuw]

When I say fast threads I mean: "Post X" "X above user" "Ask me anything", that sort of thing.

Edit: They are not really that fast though since on this forum they seem to get like 100 pages of the same stuff.

so basically a section/board dedicated to forum games so off topic isnt clogged with that nonsense

sounds perfect to me
