Off Topic threads are getting boring

And it's precisely because of posts like this that it's no fun to post anything...
I remember that we used to create meme threads, and I was a known memer in the community. It was all fun.
But today's kids think skibidi toilet is a meme. Pathetic

Or they are pushed down by threads such as this. Uninformative threads, with a vague complaint, without criticism about what is wrong, or any suggestions on how to improve it.
Maybe you are part of the problem?
If criticism is not constructive, then it's inane and pointless.

What do you want? (Within the limitations of the Terms of service?)
There were also "Inane and Pointless" threads (morphyms and clousems would remember). Although I did not participate in them, it was interesting to read all the replies.

EDIT: Woah. NaturalBornTraveller did a little foreshadowing without knowing.

I swear I've seen more people use it to mock fans than actual fans using it.
Mind you, sometimes interesting Threads are made but they often don't receive the attention they deserve, then someone posts a Thread about a Walrus vs an Elephant fight and who would win, and they receive like five pages of replies. :).

You're saying that a Walrus vs Elephant would be boring?
It’s where the ‘they don’t like it up em’ brigade congregate.

The off topic forum is where those who ‘don’t like it up em’ attack someone on a personal level because they think that a higher chess rating is some arbitrary measurement of their perceived intellectual superiority.

These superior beings are an endless source of amusement. To be fair, they’re pretty easy to outsmart and ridicule. It doesn’t require much effort. It’s far more fun making these people look an arse than finding mate in 5 or 10.

So when they get it back in spades, they don’t like it up em, they get all pissy.

These MENSA graduates also usually have their snigger chums along for the ride... it’s great because then there’s two people to ridicule. It’s immensely satisfying to make these ‘superior beings’ look stupid.

These people make the forum a rather fun place and not a boring place to hang out.
