Operation Bump Good - General

Alright Facepunch, I'm sick of shit threads, I'm sick of them monopolizing the front page of each subforum. I'm not the only one, but instead of just bitching about it, I have an idea! A plan of action! And this doesn't involve any rule-breaking tomfoolery. I want to return quality and content back to Facepunch through -encouragement-, bring high-content, well thought out threads up to the main page, so that they can replace the crappy ones. For every shitty thread you see, you must bump a thread that you think if a good one, with a meaningful post (if it's a bad post, then the bump is pointless, you want to start conversation here.) As a part of our effort in Operation Bump Good, you must also post in this thread what shit threads you've ignored, and what good threads you've bumped! Really dig deep folks, a lot of good threads never see the light of day, usually by chance. If someone has a tendency to make quality threads, then check their thread list and bump threads that you enjoy! Content should not dominate by sheer volume, I'm tired of empty, soulless threads, you can only do 'Type Team Fortress with your Face' so many times. inb4 'Hold on, typing team fortress with my face' Just bumped: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=762118[/url] Good read, funny discussion.

Good Idea rated heart

[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;18432500]Good Idea rated heart[/QUOTE] Thanks so much! do your part.

teasdcmm fortrsesdxs fuuck

Sounds good and reasonable. I like the idea of wiping out some of the pointless stuff that pollutes the GD.

[url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=840030[/url] Bumped, it's a pretty interesting little web toy. Oh, here's a high-content thread I made a while ago that needs a hearty bump. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=844140[/url]

Are we supposed to bump this thread if it disappears from page 1?

Just as long as people don't bump any of those "my theory/philosophy on whatever bullshit" threads. They really annoy me.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;18432616]Are we supposed to bump this thread if it disappears from page 1?[/QUOTE] Sure why not. But if you guys are actively bumping good threads and reporting it here, you'll be doing that already. Don't just rate heart and leave, help out. This is my LAST attempt to bring quality back to facepunch, I've already made quite a few megathreads, after this little scheme, if it doesn't work, all hope is lost.

teawqm fortreswswe Damn... Well, I'm too lazy to dig, so let's party!

but then there would be no bad threads to make the other threads look good

Yes there would be, with our giant income of new guys.

Oh, and no bumping your own past threads. It's not up to you to decide if your own thread is worthy.

[QUOTE=Master117;18432706]Oh, and no bumping your own past threads. It's not up to you to decide if your own thread is worthy.[/QUOTE] True. I'm still leaving the link there as an example, it is of course up to you to decide whether or not it's worthy.

I like this idea, keeping the quality threads bumped.

Added an image to the first post.

Good idea, I might do this

I second this notion

[b]:siren:Dergon watch:siren:[/b] If you do this with low content posts like "BUMP!!" or "Neat" you will be banned by yours truly, so don't spam up good threads with dumb shit thanks!! [b]:siren:Dergon watch:siren:[/b]

[b]:siren:Dergon watch:siren:[/b][/QUOTE] Thanks, I made sure to mention that. I figure it's up to the members now, and not the mods, to return the quality back to facepunch.

hehe quality in general discussion.

[QUOTE=gringfagmos;18432969]hehe quality in general discussion.[/QUOTE] hehe they have to bump their good threads to hide the bad ones

[QUOTE=nathaz;18433013]ok op i wuill try my best to bump the good threads (like this 1 and all of youres) im gonna be a smart and good poster like u[/QUOTE] Ehrm. Alright, thanks!

Yeah there are so many shitty threads in GD, they need to be wiped.

Just bumped this old System Shock 2 thread, since I've started playing it. It's got a lot of information on it, so instead of making a whole new one, I decided to bump it. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=774146[/url]

~Great idea~

[QUOTE=GunsNRoses;18434119]~Great idea~[/QUOTE] I'm aware it's a good idea, why don't some of you pitch in and help me? All I hear is people bitching about the shit threads, yet I'm the only one actively trying to do something about it. From now on, whenever I hear someone bitch and moan about how a 'thread sucks' I'm going to point them to this thread.
