Why are such a high percentage of the forum threads so completely lame?

musacha?  Jerky boys?

It seems that only about 1 out of ten forums (if that) are in any way interesting.  Is this because only 1 out of 10 people starting threads aren't morons?

kco

Sounded about right.

Loud and obnoxious trolls successfully took over the forums.

Do we get to vote which group this thread belongs in?

This thread is so lame! It's a total mystery how this happens!

It'd be some consolation if the threads crashed like the Hindenburg, but they all just lie there flaccid, never achieving anything in the way of being funny or positively memorable, instead just forming a line of halfwits with the premise of the last halfwit to post being the winner.

So what I'm saying is, Hooray for the forums!

The threads that "last person to post..." are particularily idiotic.  Go solve a chess problem or something...

In my opinion...

Off topic  ... should never show up on the hot topics list.

Good point Connor...

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
