so i got to thinking, why not have a forum just for stupid threads? moderators and admins could move threads out of the lounge (or wherever) into this dedicated forum. this might sound like a silly idea, but hey... there are already linux and PDA forums. think about it: other forums would become more organized and you wouldn't have to read a stupid thread if you didn't want to.

i tell you, it would be perfect...

If there was a forum like that, only the moderators would post there.

Um, I'm confused here.... you don't have to read 'stupid' threads, just don't click on them for gods sake.

Oh, and Jarrod, the moderators already have their own forum

what, am i supposed to guess based on the title? that might work well for obviously stupid threads, but not for ones which had promise, then changed for the worse.

Would you care to explain your point Jarrod? It doesn't make sense, like some of the other things you write....

Actually, this is a great idea. There are a few members that would almost totally populate such a forum. KInd of like stamping 'idiot' on their forehead. How appropriate.

See if you folks can guess some of the people who, by the merit of their posts, would fill up such a forum....
