If you could pick one thing to make Anandtech OffTopic better (not a forums issue).

Hey, I resemble that remark!

No, you resemble someone without a high school education. You mean you resent that remark.

You resemble someone who just saw an old joke go flying way over his head.

Thanks for coming to my defense Encryptic. I thought I was going to have to push that "member dies" button and delete him. Now, after reading his next post, it's time to ......


Ban amcdonald !!!


YAQBP (you know what it means )

What would be worse, banning him or killing him?

I suppose the former would accomplish the latter, though. :evil:

Trust me, that joke is older than the crust in your underwear.

That doesn't make any sense... I would hope it is older than the 'crust in my underwear' That doesn't imply that it is that old at all. Where does the joke come from?

 

[squirrel dog]

Yeah the quote button , it somehow bothers me .

Compared to what, the xanadu that is OT ?

 

[Mathcop]

I think that sums it up.

 

[Staples]

A sub car forum needs to be openned so all the car threads will be seperate from the Off Topic threads.

Vaudeville I believe, WC Fields made it mainstream as a saying I believe as well.

LOL .... very good 308nato! Very good indeed. However, I think we need to Ban 308nato !!!! for trying to have me banned! LOL.

BTW, this is my 250th post. You think I should start a new thread to commemorate it?


Whew! The QBP is back!

 

[Optimus]

2 things:

1) A "Hide Thread" button. When clicked, you have to go to your "Hidden Threads" view to see it. That way you can just hide some of the worst, lingering threads that seem to always remain up near the top and just won't die.

2) An "Ignore User" option. Anything that user posted from then on would just show as a small line in the thread saying "You have this user set to Ignore. To see this post click here."

I'm not putting these out as "hide my eyes from the meanies" options, but rather as tools to filter your own forum view. i.e. if you really can't stand YAGTs, just "Hide Thread" on 'em and pow - cleaner looking first page of OT.

Those, and a cookie icon.

 

[thomsbrain]

bring back ylen13. he was so dumb that he always boosted my self-esteem. ("hey, i'm smarter than this guy!")

So, what do you think would make ATOT better?

you taking your meds on a consistant basis?

 

[Chaotic42]

Ban about 200 people.

 

[arcenite]

more women with pics

 

[Siddhartha]

Get rid of the post count and the rankings, ie "Lifer". Too many people seem to think they mean something.

 

[RossMAN]

Do away with post counts and have a MASSIVE sticky thread with answers to commonly asked questions about digicams, laptops, web hosting, YAGT, cars, PDAs, appliances, Atkins diets, etc.

 

[Palek]

Limiting quotes embedded within quotes to a maximum of 3 or 4 levels would help.

I don't know how difficult this would be to implement, but it would be fun to have a user rating system that is reset each month, and instead of only being able to pick a number from 1 to 10, the system should have some more interesting options, such as "nefmaster", "super troll", "crabby old geezer", "über-nerd" etc. ("lurker" would be the default value). The monthly "evaluation" would appear under one's user name.

 

[Fausto]

One permanent stickied topic for each of the most common flame wars.....all other threads on these topics immediately nuked by the mods.

- Ricers suck/No they don't

- SUV's suck/No they don't

- Homosexuality

- Abortion

- Republicans vs. Democrats

- Religion

- Evolution


I'm sure I forgot a few, but you get the idea.

 

[Linux23]

Unban Jerboy.

 

[Siddhartha]

Ban people who want to ban people... wait
