Tracking thread.

Pretty sure this thread isn't chess related.

I certainly see enough Magnus and Anand threads, along with how to become a GM, what new piece or new rule you would make, etc., to boggle the mind.

let me know more about how to play pokemon game, chess games .

Ok, here's my serious opinion regarding the OP's question: There's a reason why the "Off-topic" forum exists. All the pokemon stuff is eventually moved there (if it wasn't created under off-topic in the first place), and people who are interested can access it from there. Other people who come to the forums for chess-related purposes can go to the threads under General Chess Discussion, Openings, etc, and ignore all of the off topic stuff.

Many of the stupid random threads are about chess. Is Magnus Better than Morphy, People Who Resign/Don't Resign are Jerks, Analyze this Dumb Bullet Game I Won.

       The most intelligent post on this thread is Macer's. I didn't understand that forums have catagories when I 1st started posting. Now I have respect for the thread. If its chess related, I'll be serious, and stay on topic. If I feel silly, I'll look for a nonsence thread to post.

I think you mean that only the silly threads become popular. There are many serious threads, but they are so boring no on wants to post in them

   It is a good thing that chess is played in silence. Otherwise, I wouldn't play. Internet forums, such as this one, show that people are whacky, contentious, humorous, stupid, kind, friendly, obnoxious and whatever.

   However, since chess is played in silence (thank God!), forums are an outlet for social interaction. Anyone who looks at an open chess website forum as a place for only logic, reason, learning and rational discussion...well...duh.

Well... some of those can still show up in a game of chess (whacky, stupid, obnoxious) even if the game is played in silence.

        His answer is silence; now I get it!

You do? then you understand that he is much smarter than you in that he doesn't spend ever single second of his life on one forum.

   I like the Reagan laughing pic 2Q.      You all DO know that this thread is from 2014 ?   3 Yrs ago, members we're complaining about the quality of threads.  Now you see why its a never ending battle?

I wondered if anyone else noticed. It's also a reminder that members like you ronald, have been here for years and years...

    No actually, I've been here for 4 yrs, and this thread started 3 yrs ago. SO, at that time, I had 1 yr under my belt. I was still a good little boy then. I always respected the thread then. A little while after this thread I got my 1st mute for language. Then I was good for another yr. Got muted again for language. Since I started my PET thread, I'll log off before I start curssing. A long time ago, a mod--can't remember which one?--told me, "Ronnie, off-topic is where all threads die. Even if they started as chess threads, once they get de-railed, we throw them in the grave-yard".  A REAL chess thread, with proper policing by the OP, should stay on the topic of chess for its life--500 posts, 1000 posts, etc.

I had a ton of fun in "kboyer309"'s threads. They lasted for months, and we laughed for dayshappy.png    This afternoon, I was looking for pictures of,  "forum thread cemetary"wink.png  Couldn't find anything, but I ran into a bunch of funny headstones, so sometime this weekend I'll start a new thread called;  "Cemetary Humor"tongue.png

Because you've never started a thread that had been done before.
