This type of quality is generally my favorite. The complicated type is taxing.

By that, I mean...

- if you have a board packed with "me too" and "LOL" posts, the kinds of people that will register for a board like that (and post themselves) will be the kinds of people that also post like that. If someone wants to write at length, and have more purposeful discussion, then you won't get them joining.

- and of the course, the reverse is true also.

So........ you basically need to try to lead from the top, and the admin and mods need to post in a manner that they'd be happy for other members to also post.

I want to be friends with this girl, she makes sense.

Mods and admins and mentors (except StrongInTheArm), must lead; we must demonstrate how we want it to be and new members will get the message.

I would also add that those who post pointless posts should be challenged to justify themselves at every instance. That will leave a trail of how it should be and pretty quickly put a stop to the junk posting.

The lobby is a special place and the rules should be a little less restrictive, especially where it concerns StrongInTheArm.

I would advise all members to read the thread thoroughly,
think about what you want to say,
determine if it has already been said and then
if you still think you have something worth adding,
please do so.

Realise we want you to contribute and become active members of the forum. Just think about what it is you are contributing. Give a little more of yourself.

Fine.
Takes out blunt knife and hacks off left thumb.
Throws it into the thread.
Leaves.

ROFLMAO . . .

Okay Mikey. I don't think we need any of your body parts contributed, just your mind.

Gee, you lot are demanding.

Straps and bolts head.
Grabs an art knife and slowly cuts open the top of his head.
Bows head down.
Plop goes the brain.
Stitches head back up.
Unbolts, unstraps.
Stands.
Stretches.
Leaves.

Thus, this thread should be marked sticky so all other members will read it.

Well, the fact that every single person has his own perspective of things might be enough reason for some to throw some good stuffs out of their mind. Yet, we should not forget that their are people who are just born lazy when it comes to typing on keyboards! Please be considerate! LOL

[Atom]

LOL!

[StrongInTheArm]

Wahey!!!! I got three thumbs in this thread, cool!
I can suck my thumb and type at the same time now, this place is so great!

Eeeew! What the heck is that gooey mess on the floor, it has the consistency of blancmange. Aren't the mods keeping this thread clean anymore? Hey mods, get your act together!

Now for all you new members, don't do what I just did in any other forum but the lobby. And notice there are lots of words being used, hell there are even quotes!

Yes. No.





Ok back on topic .. sorry Cricket.

It seems a concern may be that serious webmasters may be scared away by our unique atmosphere here. This has always been a concern to me. More to come. Need break.

[Cricket]

Actually one of the things that makes this community unique is that we are not afraid to wander off topic, and we usually manage to bring it all back again.

[Atom]

That's a good point.

I have to finish cleaning the stupid eave troughs of leaves and pine needles. I want to add to my previous post and I will, I haven't been able to find the right words yet. If I don't do this eave thing today I'll be screwed because it's supposed to rain tomorrow.

[Deejay Dan]

I'm with you Cricket. If you look at these posts a little further it's normally a bunch of retards just building up enough posts for the coveted signature links. That's why I'm almost always against posts count requirements for sig links.

Over time as the forum becomes more popular, which v7n already is, you wind up with drivel posts which are just padding. I see it as basically spam but then again I'm a hardass when it comes to padding/garbage posts.

So, I added a hearty "me too" post to your thread.

[Atom]

Ok honestly I think I'm one of the worst posters of crap. Hang on, I'm still trying to figure a way out of this.

[Atom]

Ok I think I figured it out. It's all John's fault.

John is the ultimate spammer, right?
