Default Re: tell me what you think of splitting \'a&e\' into a separate forum

Jared,

"That thread exploded, "rising to the top" not because people were giving advice and there was good dialogue but because after people repeatedly asked the OP for pics of the girl he was foolish/not familiar enough with OOT to actually provide them and not savvy enough to change the file names and so after he posted there was a huge surge of excitement over the pictures, the girls myspace, contacting here and so on. The thread exploded in popularity as it became "useless, trivial, and worthless." "

That is simply incorrect. That thread was one of the most active threads for a long time and it had absolutely nothing to do with pictures. The picture stuff was a minor part of the thread. The reason that thread exploded was because of this guy's ongoing accounts of his "[non-]exploits" with this girl to which people could both relate to and make fun of at the same time.
