Joke Threads.

Don't you think they are a bit excessive now? It just constitutes spamming. People posting the same joke in several different threads. It also makes the place a lot more jumbled than it already is. I'm not being a spoil sport or picking on anyone in particular, I'm just sick of seeing "JOKE THREAD LOL!!!!" every few titles.

Thats true but everyone loves jokes and were all stoners here i suggest.. a joke section

one joke per thread or something and then people can comment on it, sounds like a good idea to me, seen it on many other forums. :)

You're right they do, including myself. But I don't enjoy coming to the boards to see so many Joke threads, I'd rather have them in one thread, as I'm sure many others would. I'm not being arsey with you or anything, I think you're a really decent fella' and a good laugh. It's just a tad annoying to see so many joke threads. I don't just come here to see jokes. I also like serious discussion which are all pushed aside at the moment by joke threads.


Yeah, yeah, maybe my last statement was exaggerated. But I'm sure you get the point :)

Hm yeah i have to agree with you, what do you think about a joke section though?

joke section, no. if it ain't broke don't fix it, i say. i say take the jokes aren't a problem, maybe they're just a little fad right now, but i say the people who are in charge would rather just take a minimalistic approach to the board. am i making any sense at all, lol sorry

Joke threads are still when all is said and done a tiny percentage of forum space,no more so than all of the whats your favorite threads etc (of which I have started a few) the same rules apply as to any other thread if you don't want or are not interested in the content then don't open and read it.
I am all for jokes but perhaps as CC suggests maybe one joke per thread, although this could lead to people opening new threads just to get their jokes in.
We perhaps should let things run as they are at the moment if it was to become a problem then it might have to be dealt with, the chances are most of us will get fed up posting jokes and take a break for a while anyway.

Just my tuppence worth

It's got nothing to do with the fact they are just joke threads. It's not like the threads cropped up over time, which is expected. They were all made within minutes of each other. If they had kept going at that rate there would have been a fair few popping up. By the way, your attack was personal.

Some of the threads have been removed now. Not only that if you look at how many threads there are the existing ones could quite easily be used. Before you insult me again, my reasons are justified. Pointless threads do clutter the forum, especially over time. This is why in many forum rules they state to use the already existing threads. It also makes things like searching harder, and it will also take longer to get a search returned.

Not only that you'll find that if the forum gets too heavily loaded with pointless threads older ones will need to be purged for recent ones to remain. This means loosing classic threads from the past, which is not what we want to happen.

As I sad it's not just because it's a joke thread, I'd say it if several "I love weed" threads were to appear. It's just common sense to use the existing ones.

P.s CC, and Billion I think a Humour forum would be a great idea. Means you could go there to check out funny videos and jokes etc. with out it cluttering the lounge. Another obvious reason being if you want to read or see some jokes you know exactly where to go and what to expect.
