I thought that was a good way to end the game, saying the number people wanted to reach :)

I most certainly do not...

:P is a perfectly normal smiley. Cheeky tongue poke

;p on the other hand is a drooling retard, winking and tongue poking

whats the difference between ;P and ;p

I thought the latter annoyed you. but maybe both?

[13 years, 331 days ago]

People who use that retard smiley are usually way too lazy to press a shift key, so most of the times it will look like ;p

;P is rare, but equally retarded. A retard with a bigger tongue, i guess.

I'm all for supporting nerdy things, but those threads are mindless and count as borderline spam in my eyes. I won't do anything about it for now though because people seem to enjoy it and I don't want to attempt to draw the line on what counts as reasonable forum content.

In all fairness, if the question of counting games being annoying or spam I could bring up how I think 'guess the next poster' threads would fall into the same category.

Good no call I think

I made the weird counting ones to express the same opinion; simply counting from 1 to w/e is pretty stupid :)

But hey, it's the miscellaneous forum. And those threads are pretty.. miscellaneous. They do serve some kind of social function though. And like Draoi said, it's not like other forum games are 'useful content'.

Y'all just mad your forum counters exploded today ;)

Yeah I feel the same about the "guess the next poster" threads, but haven't acted for the same reasons.

On a related note, let's all post the letter "a"!

'lol's and 'rofl's are worse than counting or guess the next poster threads...

I'd like to point out ALL of this is a huge waste of time and effort anyway. Total playing time already amounts to 6.5 years of man-hours. Time which could have spent a lot more productive; working, studying, socializing, exercising. Even volunteering at an animal shelter is way more useful than clicking train-again.

So i don't really understand why some people get annoyed by the way others choose to waste their time. Sure it's spam (as in, loads of comments in a short period of time), but it's concentrated into dedicated threads. You don't have to actually read it.


 
Draoi [146]

Sure, take the high road.

Maybe next we'll argue life is a waste of time. ;)

That's different for everyone. If nobody finds the answer for themselves in their lifetime, then their life really was a waste of time.
