I would like some feedback on how you feel about threads of that nature.

I think they are fun at first, but they get boring relativly quickly and then it just becomes a mean to increase post counts. Comments?

I agree. They are fun at first, but they do become boring fairly quickly.

There should be a limited page count for each, then they should be closed.

They've been driving me to insanity since 3 days after they started! Let's end them!!! You ain't seen interesting till you seen a big cross-shaped vein pop out of someone's forehead like an angry anime person!!!

they started off being really amusing...but NOW I just see them as a sneaky yet obvious way to raise users post counts....

If they just get too obviously pointless. I am just gonna start playin the bad guy and closin em all.  :twisted: actually...I'll just do it to abuse my power....not that there is anything wrong with that.   :wink:

OK well if no one has objections, threads of that nature are welcome once in a while, but they will be closed after they reach a full 3 page. Does that seem resonable to everyone?
