[QUOTE=MrOwn1;26396196]why does fast threads even exist if people want something like fast threads they can go to 4chan where they belong[/QUOTE] I have to agree, just ban people for making "Post your.." threads and get rid of Fast Threads.
Why do people have to be logged to view threads?
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;26396694]Why do people have to be logged to view threads?[/QUOTE] Because you touch yourself at night. [editline]30th November 2010[/editline] Read the thread.
[QUOTE=MrOwn1;26396196]why does fast threads even exist if people want something like fast threads they can go to 4chan where they belong[/QUOTE] IIRC it was for generic stupid questions that didn't go anywhere else (Back in the days when general discussion was about discussing general stuff)

[QUOTE=not_Morph53;26396898]Because you touch yourself at night. [editline]30th November 2010[/editline] Read the thread.[/QUOTE] I don't really have time to read 92 pages of 40 posts
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;26397214]I don't really have time to read 92 pages of 40 posts[/QUOTE] Forums are private 'cause of some company sueing Garry because of some stupid loophole in the amazing American law, I think it's so any of our more recent threads no longer appear on google.
[QUOTE=MrOwn1;26396196]why does fast threads even exist if people want something like fast threads they can go to 4chan where they belong[/QUOTE] I have no idea where Fast Threads has a counterpart on 4Chan But yes Fast Threads is mainly a waste of space The idea of "This is a place for your stupid questions" is good But Fast Threads contains vast amounts of useless crap, which has little real value and is mainly a waste of bandwidth and space
[QUOTE=Espio;26397531]Forums are private 'cause of some company sueing Garry because of some stupid loophole in the amazing American law, I think it's so any of our more recent threads no longer appear on google.[/QUOTE] Oh, ok, thanks. But isn't that making him look bad?

[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;26396353]I have to agree, just ban people for making "Post your.." threads and get rid of Fast Threads.[/QUOTE] Then they would clog up everywhere else. edit: ninja'd
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;26398642]Would you rather it be clogged up in General Discussion?[/QUOTE] I'd rather it not be on Facepunch/the internet at all.
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;26398751]I'd rather it not be on Facepunch/the internet at all.[/QUOTE] then leave
Why would I leave? That doesn't even make sense.
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;26398804]Why would I leave? That doesn't even make sense.[/QUOTE] Well you obviously dislike it, if you leave you won't complain and it will stay for other people to enjoy.
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;26398804]Why would I leave? That doesn't even make sense.[/QUOTE] If there was no fast threads, it would inevitably end up in some other forum that is actually used.
[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;26398831]Well you obviously dislike it, if you leave you won't complain and it will stay for other people to enjoy.[/QUOTE] I don't go into Fast Threads and whinge about it and I only mention it when it's brought up by others. [QUOTE=Phsykotik;26398853]If there was no fast threads, it would inevitably end up in some other forum that is actually used.[/QUOTE] Ban the OPs
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;26399304]Ban the OPs[/QUOTE] Have you seen how well that works at keeping shit threads from popping up? It doesn't. At all it seems.
if everyone who made shit threads was banned facepunch would lose 80% of its posters
[QUOTE=Onyx3173;26399360]Have you seen how well that works at keeping shit threads from popping up? It doesn't. At all it seems.[/QUOTE] Convert it to communism My farts smell like- Well FP, I got- Other parody threads Baddage boys You get it.
Any chance we could get something near an OP's name to state the date the thread was made? [img]http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/3249/tmp50.png[/img] Ie: Next to the 1 reading in that image. Or between that and the OP's name.
Why would we need that? With no real knowledge of scripts, I'm wondering if a userscript could do that for you..
Also one more question. What does it mean when the background around a thread is yellow like these? [img]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/2594/tmp51.png[/img]
-automerge...-
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;26401893]Why would we need that?[/QUOTE] It would help people know if a thread was recently bumped and might help prevent people from further bumping it. Ack, my automerge too...
[QUOTE=Onyx3173;26401894]Also one more question. What does it mean when the background around a thread is yellow like these? [img_thumb]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/2594/tmp51.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Stickies They stay at the top
I've seen those half way down the page though. Or at least I thought I had.
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;26401893]Why would we need that? With no real knowledge of scripts, I'm wondering if a userscript could do that for you..[/QUOTE] Right now, there isn't a way to do so without being fairly bandwidth intensive, especially more so because the "View Single Post" isn't currently implemented. Trying to do so would be impolite at best, a DOS at worst.
[QUOTE=Onyx3173;26401894]Also one more question. What does it mean when the background around a thread is yellow like these? [img_thumb]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/2594/tmp51.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] It means it's stickied and stays at the top of a subforum until unstickied or moved. In the News Node all new threads are automatically stickied for 12 hours to show new news compared to old news that some users would bump just to get it back on the front page.
Why did searching get taken away from blues?
[QUOTE=fish puncher;26407702]Why did searching get taken away from blues?[/QUOTE] Servers couldn't handle it. I'm dumb for rating a question that gets asked on like every other page dumb?
