This really bugs me. If I wanted to read another forum, I would probably go to that forum.

but if we didn't do that, then we would never have discovered that iluvtruenos (epic Bulk Beef guy) was sent up to the pokey, or that Kommander Kink is a ubiquitous perv/creep/internet troll.

I'm talking about threads posted here that only link to a thread at another forum.

The stupid poo on the chick thread or the stupid Jeep thread are great examples.

Why stop at other forums? Why not block all external links ANYWHERE? Where do you stop? What's acceptable?

Just because you didn't like the Jeep thread, doesn't mean others didn't.


And you even link outside this forum for other stuff too...

Did I say that I didn't think people should link to outside the forums? Did I even imply that in any way, shape or form?

Its like in P&N when people post just a link, no input. Why start a thread that only links to a thread at another forum? That just doesn't make sense.
