Title: Limit ''Count to'' topics in Forums Games
Post by: Matt Murdock on August 07, 2012, 10:44:08 am
Reaction after seeing first page of forum games :

Really? There're like loads of, and lately too many count to topics in forum games, and that's not a real problem, real problem is those topics push away many good topics to the back page and its annoying for those who don't like to count. And sooooo many of such topics exist now that a separate child forum can be made, just for them. >.>

Discuss?

Also can someone add a poll to this? If its time to limit those topics or not.  :roll:

I don't know... do people think that the number of posts reflects any quality?

I see no real reason to limit usage of counting topics at all.

There are no good topics on the Forum Games board. I'd say it was created to avoid such annoying threads to clutter up the off-topic section

It's to allow users to spam as much as they like without disturbing the civilized sections such as the "Selling" sections of the forum with "goodluck".  ;)

Well everyone knows a larger post count means a larger e-penis. Just shows they need to over compensate for a shorter...

:lol:

And yes, its needed, in the begining when I came here, and actually spent time on forums, it was amazing! As forum games had some quite good, stand out topics, now all I see are count to this, count to that, count to every damn thing there is! It shows lack of creativity to be honest.

There's also a ''Post your unban request'' topic there, if anyone noticed somewhere in the hordes of the count to topics.

Yes, but each day a new count to topic pops up. And since other topics require you to post more letter, words and sentences then just a number, people take the easy way out by posting in count to than an actual topic which actually seems like fun.

And ten more will take their place.

I say we just make a sub-board for "Count to" threads in Forum Games.

Apologies but that is one big useless idea.

If people want or need to learn how to count though it's okay, education was always free..

Some of the count to topics I found, most of them don't even make any sense.  :neutral:

Some people like releasing their boredom in that board more than others. :poke:

(for those wondering, most of my posts are from SA:MP Ideas, not Forum Games)

I do. When checking the new posts, I have to go trough tons of 'count to ...' topics, which is rather annoying than actually an addition to this forum.
Of course, one or two count topics do not really matter, but it are way too many.

I can already imagine what those people who stay unemployed and get their food from unemployment checks are doing.

You could always enable the 'Ignore Boards' option for Forum Games. However, there are topics (i.e. Rate the avatar, Favorite members in 2012, rate the music, etc) that you may not want to ignore.
