What forum on Boards baffles you?

diusmr8a504cvk · 2015-06-20 15:40:12

It's got to be the Psychics and Mediums Forum for me. The fact that people actually believe it is crazy and that Boards caters for them with a forum is worse.

Doesn't quite baffle me but more excites me - Mustard forum.

My Little Pony. Baffles and creeps me out in equal measure.

Edit: Beaten by strawberry milkshake.

The relationships forum, it's main purpose seems to be to entertain people with other people's relationship problems. You see the same people posting there all the time.

Personal issues is where it's at to be honest.

Attention Seeking Forum would be more appropriate.

Pretty shocking allright, especially the way these people are known conmen and fraudsters and are STEALING vulnerable peoples money - terrible.

It's what makes boards interesting, a huge bank of resources with many niche interests catered for. I oftentimes search for things and find new forums I never knew existed.

But to answer your question I still can't get my head around the mustard forum. Is it some sort of in joke or something?

I totally agree, but I do wonder wtf is going on in the heads of the people who post in the Conspiracy Theories forum.

I don't know wtf a flirtar is or what goes on there.
The nocturnal forum looks like a weird little clique of a place.
The Pony thing is sad and shouldn't be encouraged, I didn't know there was one of those.

There are a good few dead forums that should be culled or combined. The more you branch the more users you lose on your new forum. Like the TV forums. One thread is enough for a show, but some shows have their own forums and of course they're almost all graveyards.

The paranormal forum is funny as hell.

I probably shouldn't laugh at people being fooled, but if you're dumb enough to believe that sh1t…

Best of all are the anecdotes of the really hopeless con artists psychics

Mod: While mentioning a forum once or twice isn't bad the problem is this thread is already descending into insulting people from other forums which is just going to get carded if it's continued so I'm locking it to prevent that.
Cheers, BD.
