can we stop? I think there's a difference between a serious thread (and even if it has scattered jokes inside), and people just trying to put up a thread about God for the sake of doing so. It's kinda lame and it's borderline spam?

Edit: title changed forums => threads

Thread has run it's course, questions have been answered.

Agreed. IIRC, wasn't there a huge forums cleansing because of endless shitty parody threads being posted...or something like that, a couple/few years ago?

edit: OP means "threads" in the title :p

LOL, I've been running off my CP all day and didn't hit the OT main page til you pointed it out. I found it amusing, and I am sure the mods will sweep in with mass bannination here in a moment or two.

I mean I don't mind the ones going "God, work sucks today" but when people are like "Who played the best God" "If you can make God bleed" "If God is real..." "People who hate God" it's kinda excessive... one after the other...

they shouldn't even have to purge threads that shouldn't be there to begin with. If people would stop being childish douchebags (yes i know, an impossible task for AOTOTers) then this wouldn't happen.

This is one of the reasons I would never want to be a mod here.

While they're purging threads, I think they should purge the accounts of the people who made the threads.

Meh. It's an off topic forum for having fun. So what?
If you take your Internet that seriously you need to get out more.

I guess we have different definitions of fun as I don't see how wading through 300 worthless parody threads is fun.

Not to pick on you but your time would be better spent making friends IRL and staying off the forums.

I locked everything that was a nef thread. I left the ones alone that stayed (mostly) on topic.

FYI: All those threads that I linked to were "nef" threads started in response to the other "nef" threads.

Evadman's point was that he locked threads where the responses were all threadcrapping and he left threads open where the topic in the OP was being legitimately discussed.
