Dull

^ian^ That about sums it up. Concord Its because there are now a bunch of humorless, preachy loosers who want to tell you how good they are, how good they have it, etc. etc. Can't write a sentence or string 1 -1/2 thoughts together so = silly games. ^ian^

I guess there is hope for everyone. 2 seconds passed and he did not bite - more likely he was momentarily away from the computer :wink: shafique I have to agree with this thread - even the trolls in religion and politics are old hat now! Speaking of hats - I never heard the word 'asshat' before and just had to Google it ( I wasn't sure whether it was as-shat, or ass-hat - or someother meaning). Google did not fail me. I now have a word that describes a few people I know :) :) Cheers, Shafique sauron Just ask any Scot............as in 'asshat ma pants, and a can't do a thing with them.'" Billy Connolly :oops: asc_26 Make a thread that isn't DULL! Posting like this justifies the subject line. :lol: :lol: :lol: MrLonely So i read this subject and i thought, now what the hell could this be about. Is it about dull colours? Or dull people? Or maybe... its about a dull relationship. But alas it was nothing like that, it was just self referential. ^ian^

Well some of us don't piss and moan about relationship problems all of the time. Burken And start these useless topics like "write about the person above you!", or "write about the person below you!", which usually ends up like a chat between two people either trying to get to know each other or doing some kind of flirting instead of using the PM fuction. Or they just want to increase the posts. And those useless games sometimes piss me off cause I have to really click on them each time some one write something useless in it cause otherwise it looks like the whole Dubai General Forum has been updated with new posts. You know, the orange market doesn't disappear until I've clicked on all the updated threads. weary_heart

No need to click all those threads with new posts... to get rid of those orange marks - just simply log out and log back in. Burken Yeah I know, just that sometimes it's slow with that. fayz

Well actually it is even easier then that, when you are logged in and in the section, let's say in General, on the right hand side, there is a link that says "mark all threads as read", click on that and poof.
Having said that I actually do like those threads and find they add a nice mindless break in my day, I do however agree with recommendations that they be moved to a different section. There should be a 'leisure' section that can host these types of threads. Burken There is this Swedish forum who were pissed of with those threads so they started a new forum called "Off Topic", and it works kind of ok. weary_heart

Never noticed that. Thanks Fayz, it saves a minute. :wink: pinoy1 We just have a shortage of interesting topics here in my opinion. So the best we can do now is contend with the mindless games or, start an intelligent and interesting topic instead of just complaining about the mindlessness :wink: ^ian^

The problem is interesting topics get lost or get pushed down the list very quickly with the mindless drivel.
I find the good forumers who really contribute have moved on to other more greener pastures it would seem.
Beats me why I am still hanging around, I guess I'm a hanger-on. shafique I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed the increase in inane topics. Most of the usual suspects must be X-mas shopping or the like??? Cheers, Shafique Concord
