I don't like the random thoughts thread. It's too limiting, and I never read it. I'm assuming that a lot of other people skip it too.

I moved to Chrome recently. Screw your add-ons!

Um they have those for Chrome too...

Then screw add-ons in general - I'm going lightweight, baby.

It's too limiting? OK, I give you permission to post semi-organized thoughts there, too.

My problem with it is that sure, some of the thought in it might spur some fun discussion or whatever, but once it gets buried it's essentially gone. It's hard to go back and find a cool topic sometime down the line. Plus, like I said, a lot of people ignore it because they assume it's just a thread full of silly crap with no substance. While that may be true most of the time, I'm sure there are also good discussions from time to time, and it's a shame that they'll be totally overlooked and then gone.

So yeah, it's limiting in a lot of ways.

I think the point of that thread is that the thoughts posted in there don't deserve a separate thread becacuse they aren't intended to spur a lot of comments/discussion. So by definition, they aren't all that worthy of being topics on their own.

If the topic is THAT interesting and has spurred that much interest/discussion, then it probably shouldn't have been posted in there to begin with.

This topic seems perfect for that thread. No questions, no deep thoughts, just a simple outburst.

I enter threads with titles that tell me I will be interested in whats in there. I'm not checking a random thread every time to see if maybe perhaps there is something that will interest me.

Plus, my thoughts are random enough so I assume it is always implied...

Good point -- by the way, thanks for letting us know your opinions on the "Random thoughts" thread in the "Internet Ads with Sound" thread! :p

I understand your points, but it's a random thoughts thread, not a thread for discussions. You don't need to read it. "Fuck internet ads with sound" is a random thought requiring no discussion or comments.

Get the bug out of your ass is also a random thought but I don't want to post it in that other thread... :eek: :D :devil:

THE POINT IS TO WRITE THE RANDOM THOUGHTS, NOT READ THEM.

WHY ISN'T THE INTERNET LISTENING TO COMMON SENSE?

Exactly! If you weren't so in love with Kathy Griffin, I'd give you a high-five. As it is, I'm afraid you'd get stuff all over me.

This annoys me to no end as well. I can't look for Avril Lavigne nip slips without getting a pop up of some chick telling me about her big what nots and what she'd do to my whatever for only $9.99 a month. I don't need to be gettin kicked out of Panera breads, it's friggin hot outside.

By the way, I wasn't meaning to sound like the thread was bad or anything, I just don't want it to discourage people from creating new threads on random thoughts that they think might start some discussion.

That shouldn't be a concern, since that's not what the "Random Thoughts THAT DON'T DESERVE THEIR OWN THREAD" thread is for. :p
