I figure that's what it would have to be. A place where a response just requires a bump. I figure a real topic, whether YAGT or otherwise, would run out of subtopics well before 2M replies

Most topics around here turn south and get locked before they get big enough to take over the internet.

1=0.999 was pretty long.

If anyone ever develops a system to moderate the Gaia forums properly then I think we would be one step closer to a unified world. I don't think there is any site on the internet more out of control.

all prepubescent teens neffing. I think it's a forum where the more your post, the more "experience" you get and you level up your avatar. so essentially people just post ridiculous amounts of useless sht to up their stats.

that has got to be a collection of the dumbest human beings i've ever witnessed

Because a message board caters to a certain crowd. Think of an average idiot. 49 percent of the people are dumber then him.
