    What percentage would you guesstimate? I reckon it would be around 43.32%.
    And yes, I'm bored.

    Whenever it goes above ~ 20%, a thread complaining about the amount of news story threads in AH appears.

    What % of threads are "I just thought something and I had to share it with everybody at once" or "ask a pointless question"

    Its far higher than that these days...:(
    When will some people learn that just because you find a weird/funny/offensive news story, that you dont need to make a thread in AH about it....

    Is it just me or are fridays the worst days for threads?

    That's a good question OP, why dont you go and count all the threads in AH (A), then the amount of news related threads(B), then divide A by B then multiply by 100. Or something.


    Let us know when you get it.

    All threads in AH are news stories , just ask the journalists lurking in the background.
