: try it. its called "ignoring the post"
: you dont HAVE to take my polls.a lot of people still do though. the only thing im guilty of is taking away your second while you read my subject line. sue me
Yeah, you're also guilty of contributing to making this once greta message board a chat room full of twits. Now, earlier you asked what a perfect post was. Well, simply put, it's a post THAT'S ON TOPIC. Justifying off-topic posts with "well, everyone else posts off-topic, i don't see any on-topic posts" is like justifying bad english with "it has changed due to common usage". If you want to see a perfect post, you can see a thousand great examples in boards from a year or two ago, but scanning the board, I see a few on-topic posts (about MoviePoopShoot). Yes, I understand that as the years go by, it becomes more and more difficult to say something on-topic that hasn't been repeated so many times that it will piss of the oldtimers, but who says that the board has to be posted on every 5 minutes? I remember when hours would go by before a post was made, because people wouldn't post for the hell of it ("Damn this board is quiet nt"). So, you are not guilty of one thing, you're guilty of being part of the big problem. Hell, if people stopped posting polls, and stopped posting just for the hell of it ("this board is quiet nt") the board would last almost twice as long as it does, and it might even be a little more pleasant.
