    Ok what do you guys think is the worst forum on boards? Maybe you hate football and you think that forum should go, or maybe you hate the fact there's a trinners forum, I mean come on!! ;)

    Personally I hate the fashion/''appearance'' forum.... if there is one thing I FúCKIN HATE it's people who talk about fashion, seriously!! I hate people talking about it; I hate people who shop for fun!! I hate shopping, people who like ''fashion'' should die a horrible firey death!!! :mad:

    What about you? :)

    Pro Wrestling is one of those forums that makes you wish there was an "ignore forum" feature :mad:

    stop denying the fact that its nothing more than homoeroticism!
    (nothing wrong with that. but the fans in denial kind of piss me off)

    Yeah but you have to go to "Rec" first to see it, the sports one sits at the top openly mocking my lack of sporting ability and yet I rarely notice it so have no problems with it being there (apart from when it makes disparaging remarks about my face) :)

    gee, if you dont like a forum, dont look at it.

    and if you hate a forum only for the fact that it only exists, i can only assume that you are one sad individual.

    although i do think that half the forums here are pretty pointless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭weemcd


    mustard
    frisbee

    It was the administration's idea apparently. They wanted to see how many muppets would post in it just for the sake of posting. And the muppets did. And the muppets considered themselves pretty funny in doing so.

    Star Trek forum. Too many people on there talking about 'how this ship could beat that ship' instead of just enjoying the show on a purely ironic level as it was meant be enjoyed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,174 ✭✭✭D


    About that, you know the way we have stats on the most popular forums is there anywhere where we could find out which is the forum with the least posts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    Can we have a koneko forum where all posts are koneko related?
    Thatd make her feel special.

    It lists all the forums including how many threads/posts are in each one. It's a pretty large list though, but will give you an idea

    rkm - what on earth are you talking about? Hey here's a thought, if you don't want to talk about me, don't make posts about me. That oughta do it.

    but if we do that then Cajun Tiger would need to get one for her sexcapades and Shrimp would need one, called 'the Troll under the bridge'. would take too much space up.

    True! Irony/kitsch is really, really tired now and only amusing if subtle. I for one have had enough sh*te talk for the past 10 years about 80's t.v/kids t.v/old soaps etc.,

    As if they won't laugh at 2005 in 20 years time! with our donkey haircuts, pop-idol radio and neon-lobster faces!

    Anything in the "magazine" I believe has the ability to show up on the frontpage. However i believe its as admin thing....

    Mustard forum isn't all that bad.. it hasn't really gotten in my way, and if I ever need advice on what type of mustard to buy at least now I have somewhere to go. Where else would you find such information?!

    The 'Hoff' forum is good for a laugh I suppose.. don't really care too much about it either way, but each to their own.

    I'd say the Soccer or Wrestling forums would be my biggest annoyance, simply because they show up in the most recent posts section pretty regularly and I really couldn't give two sh*ts about them.

    But then, that's what the 'Subbed' list is for.

    irony is tired!? it's sooooo 90s!? perhaps slapstick is more the flavour of the month? :rolleyes:

    anyways, you made my point for me in your post. i laugh at 2005 now! why wait 20 years? we live in a hellishly boring time where nothing is done for enjoyment's sake alone and we are forcefed nothing but rehashed music, television, films. call me crazy but i'd rather have the originals.

    enjoying (not laughing at) what went before is only enjoying what was better. name a show which can bring a smile to your face and make you feel like a kid more that Knighrider!? ok, perhaps Rent-a-ghost but i haven't had a chance to start a campaign yet :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,312 ✭✭✭mr_angry


    North-East is clearly the most boring forum of all. It doesn't even have comedy value.

    Good stuff - did Shrimp ever score with that one from the Abercrombie thread, anyhow?

    I'm amazed there's a Frisbee forum...do many people play it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,315 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    The "Paranormal" one is quiet odd. Its like "oh, I saw a floating object while coming home from the pub last night...".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    What were the administration on when they let that one slip through???

    Check who mods the forum. They weren't on anything ;)

    And my vote for "worst" (as in most pointless) has to go to David Hasslehoff, followed closely by The Cuckoo's Nest
