Pointless Threads

[RSK]

Is anybody else tired of pointless threads?

[CircleC]

Yeah, cuz they're so hard to get through the little hole at the top of the needle.

[TAVS]

Only yours Rsk

Funny...

...How is that working out for you?

You Know...Being funny...

[shh!]

Can you elaborate on what you consider pointless? Also, I have been wondering: how do you decide which threads to respond to and which to ignore? Do you have a set of criteria?

For me personally, I look at Post#1 and if it's too long, I move on. If it starts, "hi, I'm 15....", I move on. If there are no paragraphs, I move on.

[Zekk_T_Strife]

Those are some good criteria Lloyd. A couple things I look for are if the thread has multiple pages and I've never been in it I tend not to go in seeing as how I'd be far behind the topic stream. The topic title itself has to sound interesting to. I used to go into every thread to see what was up but now I just pop in places I think could intrigue me.

[Rosebud]

yeah I think there are a lot of pointless threads but I think a lot of people don't even read the other threads and they just want to post whats going on with them.

Would this thread be considered a pointless thread?

This could be a pointless thread about 'other' pointless threads. But would that make 'this' thread pointless?

I don't think it does: This thread at least has a purpose - 'to point out 'other' pointless threads (with no purpose)!

What if I created 'another' thread, about 'this' thread.

Then I would have a Thread, about this 'Pointless Thread', that describes 'other' threads.

At this point, I'm a little confused. Because: What if this 'other thread', which is about 'this' thread, is just another pointless thread?

Then, we'd have a vicious cycle of the 'THREAD', that describes 'other' POINTLESS THREAD, which in turn, 'is' a Pointless Thread...

...at this point, I'm more confused that I initially was.

But, the point is, can a Thread 'really' be considered pointless?

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

[Rosebud]

well you made a point so this thread would not be cosidered pointless. Now the other ones I think would just be repetitive becasue they would be the same point...
