Members 78pbass Posted November 21, 2005 Members Posted November 21, 2005 I LOVE parodies, but they're ony funny when they are well thought and on occasion. We are beyond the saturation point.
Members Billy-B Posted November 21, 2005 Members Posted November 21, 2005 I'd say you are probably right about that. Any bets on how long it will take someone to parody this thread? Billy-B

Members BigPigPeaches Posted November 21, 2005 Members Posted November 21, 2005 While we're at it, maybe we could stop all the Off-Topic threads too. I mean, this is a Bass Forum. Nothing should be discussed on here but bass stuff. On second thought, no. Don't click on it if you don't want to read it. Why anyone would have trouble understanding this simple logic is baffling. It would be pointless to ask that everyone quit bitching, because this is a public forum...right? Right?
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted November 21, 2005 CMS Author Posted November 21, 2005 Yup-per...if you don't like it don't read it. The beauty of this place is the freedom to discuss, or be ignored on, any topic. That you don't find a topic funny or interesting doesn't mean jack. Others either will, or the thread sinks like a brick.
Members Monkabutt Posted November 21, 2005 Members Posted November 21, 2005 OT threads are OK by me and part of what makes this place unique. Parody threads are a bit out of hand. I would vote for a more generous delete option for some of them.
Members King Kashue Posted November 21, 2005 Members Posted November 21, 2005 85% of the threads on this forum are of absolutely no interest to me...It's the other 15% that I care about, and topical or not, I just don't read the other 85% (And honestly, I'd rather goof around a post a picture of Henry Clay than read a post about some obscure metal bassist )...

No, thats not what I am saying. Its just rediculous at the moment with lame excuses for funny OT threads. So you are saying that every one of these is worth taking up forum real-estate? OK. By that logic, I should just start parodying every thread - you don't have to read it, right?

By that logic, I should just start parodying every thread - you don't have to read it, right? "Can" does not imply "ought"...So, your logic is flawed... And though BPP's tone was a bit agressive, his point is a good one...You think there are too many parody threads, but not everyone does. So, since you don't want to read them, don't read them, and those that want to can...
Members Thumper Posted November 21, 2005 Members Posted November 21, 2005 Agreed, parodies are a bit over the top right now. A good parody is like a good pun---well crafted, funny and few and far between. I like the OT stuff---for some reason HCBF does a good job of keeping it humorous. I checked out the political thread earlier today to see what the fuss was about. I left it feeling dirty---what a bunch of whining intolerant jerks of all persuasions. HCBF members are simply better at keeping it clean and entertaining.
Members 78pbass Posted November 21, 2005 Author Members Posted November 21, 2005 perhaps this should be a poll. Besides, I wasn't that passionate about it, but now it's spiraling out of control! All's Im saying is that there is too much childish {censored} happening right now, with the parodys, the Dan Tolen crap et al. can we show a bit of restraint to pull this place back in order? But I suppose I could go back to adding more parodies for the 'giggles' of it....

By that logic, I should just start parodying every thread - you don't have to read it, right? I fail to see how you arrived at this conclusion. I did not attempt to defend every parody thread. I defended the right to post them.Which is why I say that if you want to parody every thread, go right ahead. I won't complain or try to stop you.I once again recommend my informational pamphlet: "Comprehension: Reading's Tricky Pal".

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS SAYING, I said that this topic is out of control, in that I was not really all that passionate about it, but this thread is driving the bus... I said: Besides, I wasn't that passionate about it, but now it's spiraling out of control! I also said: quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Monkabutt OT threads are OK by me and part of what makes this place unique.

I like OT discussions 3. I agree with freedoms 4. Some of the childish crap is stupid (this thread included) Capeche?

Heh, I remember when I first joined the forum, I started a "no off-topic, no political threads" thread. Boy, did I get flamed for that one. Now, I just attempt to focus all my negative energy on The Ox.
