I really don't approve of the "[NSFW] Random pics that make you laugh" thread.
It does not contribute to the site, it breaks TL.net commandments, discourages posting quality, and (with the current content) generally has no place in TL.net. These forums have survived for the past 8 years or so without it.
I think the timing of the thread's creation was bad. Had it been opened before the SC2 beta, it would have been a fun thread with many respected members participating... Everyone knew each other back then, and knew the rules of the house. TL.net was really made up of hardcore fans back then. Now, I think everyone has had their fun, and that it's time to tighten up on quality control; there are tons of other sites that specialize in laughs after all.
With the influx of new blood thanks to SC2, they need to better understand that these forums do not exist for their own amusement, but as a central hub for all things generally StarCraft.
Please consider closing the thread once and for all.

lol, we've had threads complaining about 'posting quality nowadays' for years. Your image of the times before beta are very heavily tainted by the nostalgia goggles. There's nothing wrong with the picture thread, it doesn't hurt anyone and a lot of people (including me) enjoy reading it from time to time.
|
that thread was started a year ago and we gotta put the trash somewhere or else it will clutter the rest of the forum. But one man's trash is another man's treasure.

OP do you even follow that thread? How is it possible it sucks that much but has over 3 000 000 views?
ETT has it under control and he's not the only one who watches over it.
This thread has already been locked and emphasize was put to heed TL commandments.
TBH I take your claim as personal offense because I've spent hours going through sites and contributing few times I saw that thread endangered by shit posting. This wasn't the only times I posted pictures there.
This is what you are supposed to do - make it good or better when needed by yourself, by YOUR posts. What you are doing now is backseat moderating. You are implying you know something better than TL staff.
There are many frequent contributors and most of people who post pictures there have 3-4 digit post counts.
I've never noticed bad posting that can be tied only to people who registered because of SC2.

It's your decision what you put in there and I don't mean your 2 week ban.
edited again for better clarity

the amount of views/listens/downloads something gets doesn't mean shit in terms of the actual quality
that thread is terrible and is loaded with duplicate memes and other terrible things. people do harp too much on how much better posters were, but there is no denying that is a terrible thread
|
terrible terrible things! -_^ you find failblog and lolcats offensive?
|
no, im pretty difficult to offend. have you heard of the concept of running a joke into the ground??
it's a meme that was last funny about four years ago. that's all that thread is: memes and dupes of marginally funny images.
|
the pictures have gotten better since the previous closing and now include a large number of comics and legitimately funny pictures.
lighten up, TL's not a church. as much as i hate the garbage posting on in the SC2 forum, I think the lol pics thread is fine.
|
I don't get how me saying that 4chan macros are lame is somehow expecting people to adhere to church decorum whilst posting on tl....

But would you say it's the largest chunk?

I'm sorry to bump this but what has happened to the old random pictures thread after it was locked?
I can't find it at all  was it galleried?

NSFW content is no longer permitted on TL, the thread has been removed.

Most of the earlier pictures in it didn't work anyways... and there was so much crap in that thread... I think people are remembering it in too much of a positive light. It's not really something you want to hack through

It was basically a choice between boobs or... the existence of the site.

proud to say I choose TL over boobs on a daily basis ^_____^

I can get boobs from my gf or the rest of the Internet. I can only get quality VOD and news on the sc scene here among other things.

What happened? I was hoping it wouldn't come to this...
|
I ignored the thread when it was around...now that it's gone I find myself wondering if there was really anything interesting contained within.
