$500 billion thread was dumb lol

but it's ok to have a forum for dumb, fun stuff. it just sucks that the people who go to general for dumb/fun stuff also come and shit on serious threads.

general kicks ass its the only forum i read

and there are very good threads in there from time to time that i participate in and make serious posts,and also a bunch of funny random shit (YEAH BABY YOU CAN DO IT!!)

if you think general is going to be all serious then you're missing the point of general entirely

making fun of idiots is half of the reason why general is fun in the first place

I object to this, as you may remember from the Iran thread. Whether or not the guy you were trolling was dumb/making dumb posts it can really ruin the entire thread, as has happened in many political threads here.

And in that specific thread I think if you and others had bothered to be patient with him you could of convinced him to fix his inaccuracies. Doesn't that sound like more fun? edit: hang on, looking for proper emoticon to end this question with...

it's better to ignore people like kill-joy

when a veteran addresses him it sets an example that people should derail threads to make fun of the resident retards. but if everyone ignored them, people would learn that if you don't post intelligently and in an informed manner, you will just be ignored.

there's fun threads and then there's serious threads, people should align their goals to the appropriate threads.

Someone should make a general thread where no one is allowed to type and only record mp3s and discuss a typical topic via speaker/mic. Could be interesting.

General forum is awesome guys.... lighten up. It's the only fun forum here, others are way too serious.

Politic threads are fine imo, just as long as mods take out idiots when they get out of line (and they usually do.)

Even the SC2 forum is better than General. The General forum's thread quality has been declining steadily for a long time now. I think I can sum up General in 6 topics:

- TV show discussion (fine)
- Youtube link (dumb, usually because there's no introduction behind it other than "watch this")
- Flash game (dumb, and usually all copycat games like Tower Defense v1,000,000)
- Poll (dumb, usually about drugs or sex)
- Rig this online poll (okay I guess, considering it's somewhat of a TL specialty, as long as it doesn't get too out of hand and the poll isn't too ridiculous like "Vote for my feet in the Myspace Best Feet Competition")
- Serious, high-quality discussion threads (good)

So as you can see, if you take out the serious discussion threads by creating a separate forum, General will devolve into a cesspool of retarded threads featuring links to Youtube polls about drugs and sex in TV shows that the OP wants you to rig that you have to play Flash games to get to. We can't have that.

I'm pretty sure the SC2 forum is the worst in terms of quality we have on this site.


Maybe you're right. To be fair, I don't read all the threads in the SC2 forum, usually just the Q&A and SC2.com update threads. General forum topics are a little more transparent in their quality, as I see "Rate your parents!" as the top thread at the moment, and it's easier to see what that thread will be about than a "Submit your questions here!" SC2 thread that may have devolved into something retarded a few pages down the line. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The political/religous/hw threads are the main ones that I read. They are good because I get to see what other people ~my age think about these things (which coincidentally affect my future more than starcraft). Even if they aren't the highest quality, at least I can better understand other people's points of view. Also the hw threads give me something to think about.


I don't read TV threads, ever.

Yeah wtf the kick in the balls thread was brilliant.

To be honest, I used to really enjoy the politics/religion threads in here when I was younger. As I grew older, however, I realized I could satisfy my craving for intellectual stimulation in other ways without having to deal with the immature bullshit often found on the internet. It is so easy to sound all smart and all knowing on the internet with you really don't know jack but if the discussion was in real life, it would be clear who was the superior voice. I just get so tired of the internet dodging and lack of respect.

It's ironic that you're discussing political threads, and then suggesting anti-freedom of speech

I think the political threads here are good, especially for us who don't live in the US and don't know as much about the scene there, I often learn things I wouldn't otherwise hear about.

I use to enjoy the political threads, but I think as this site has grown, and more people are here to give input the threads do not stay on track and there are 30 sub-points going on. I will see a thread a few pages deep for the first time and I really wont know where to contribute because there seems to be multiple conversations involved. I think people should be putting more effort into staying on track, and thread creators should be putting more effort in narrowing down the nature of the discussion.
