Aborted Thread Ideas 07 Thread

edited January 2008 in Social Entropy++
How many of you have typed up an OP only to realize shit this sucks and hit the back button? Well, now is the time to share your aborted thread ideas from last year.

After the first wootoff thread that I butchered I tried to make one that would do it justice but every damn time I hit the back button because they sucked.

This might be a bad idea, but shit, it beats a dick waving contest.

    I was going to make one about how amazing my dick is.
    I didn't want to make everyone else jealous, though.

    Sometimes I consider making a thread for the horrible things I find but then I decide against it pretty much 100% of the time.

    I simply don't make threads. I think I've made one, maybe two in the four years I've been here.

    I do type things up and then not post them. I think to myself


    now will this really facilitate quality discussion?


    I've a very high standard for post quality. I literally reject like 5-7% of my posts.

    I bet a thread about one of the following favorite topics of SE++ is always succesfull:

    - Fast food chains
    - Cooking
    - Toys
    - Drawing stuff
    - Ridiculous things from the internet
    - Drama

    If I can go a month without one of those threads on the front page, I'll be a happy man.

    Berk does present quality work. The problem is sifting through the suckmeoff "draw me!" bullshit and squiggles of Teefs sans-penis. I hadn't seen Berk posting for a while so I stayed away from the last 85 drawing threads or so.

    Man, the draw threads have been huge circlejerks for ages. That's half the fun of it.

    Ain't crying. Just presenting why I don't bother reading the threads anymore. It went from an awesome thing to do once in a while (Case in point: Knob calling out Rane in the chatlog) into the same shit over and over again.

    "Draw me" is pretty lame. Yeah.

    But remember those epic battles with Synthetic Orange, Mully, Berk, and a few others? Those were really, really good.
