The anti-word association thread

Ladies & gents of the forum join me in some long overdo "Forum Reform." The word association thread (which I will never forgive DaJoker for starting) has been used and abused by those members who seek higher post count in order to achieve internet fame

It is time that the word thread dissapear into forum oblivion never to return. These types of threads provide zero intelectual value to our beloved forum. Also I would like to propose the following new rules to members of our forum:

1. Posts in the lounge should not count...
2. Posts must be at least ten characters in length...

Join me in my quest for "quality posts over quantity post" and help stop addictive shameless post-padding.

Let your forum voice be heard and vote in the poll up top...

Viva la forum revolucion

It's been a long standing challenge/joke as to if anyone could actually catch the Capt. I really don't care about post count, just going along with the joke.

Need to add another choice to your poll........
"Leave it because it's just another way of wasting time while on the net."

What about doing what other forums do, not count it in post count?

It is a lot better that some, I don't care about how many post I have I used to start to delete them when I was getting close to 1000, deleted till around 250. But I stopped. What about people Placing polls only to hear what they want to hear? Or to Bump an old post less that 3 days old only to see if anyone would respond.
The word game, is fun to go against others, and see if you can get your word in. But placing the pics or 2 words, not right.
So go ahead and block me for my opinion, I do not really care.
My 2 cents.

Why does it even matter?!? If you like word association then play it, if you don't then don't. Who cares what the post counts are? It's not any different than any of the sports threads etc.

Who cares ? Whats the big deal ? I don't think somebody's high post count means anything , except maybe they may have alot of free time. I post on this forum to have fun , discuss different topics and learn alittle about HHR's. The quantity of the posts do not determine quality of the poster !
