people need to start naming their threads better... it's getting rediculous. :wink:

Re: i think...

that's a good idea! (although your thread is not the best example :p)

Re: i think...

thats what the hover feature is for...hold your mouse above the title of a thread and you get to read the first few lines, saving you the trouble of opening a retarded thread. wish i'd used it for this one...

Re: i think...

Examples of badly named threads?

Re: i think...

i think

:wink:

Re: i think...

i named this thread like a jackass on purpose!

examples: one word names like "paypal", and "chiefs" i guess are the biggest culprits. other two word names that are not very good... "go jets!", "hotmail accounts", "download section", "download section?", "features missing", "josh wink", "buying music", etc.

just an oberservation... it's all good! =)

Re: i think...

Yeah but we have always had that problem.At least now you don't have to click on the link to see what the thread is about. I don't think that problem is going to go away anytime soon.

Re: i think...

^^^ true true. i think just the other day their were a whole bunch of badly named ones right in a row and i was like wtf this is rediculous! ;)

the threads were left open for discussion... that's what threads are for.

I could agree in regards to the "Digweed on Kiss100 last night" because it doesn't have a specific artist in it. When it's archived in 6 months we'll have no clue what that thread's about. other than that, I'd say most threads explain the topic completely and would give us a good idea what to expect when we go in it.

Re: i think...

well i think there is a happy medium in there somewhere. you're examples are quite over the top and are not what i was getting at. getting a [i]little[/i] more specific wouldn't hurt, so people know what they're getting into. whereas extremely general topics like "paypal" are, well, just too damn general... especially if posted in GYY, where there is a lot of activity and lots of general topics. if everyone who posted something regarding paypal named their topic "paypal"... well, then we might have a problem. for example, maybe like "paypal crash" or "paypal crashing for anyone else?" might have been a little better... i dunno.. whatever. i think we all know what i'm getting at and i don't think i need to cite anymore examples nor give any more examples of better (imo) topic names. i didn't mean to offend anyone nor make a big issue out of it, it was just an observation.

Re: i think...

i didn't mean to single-out any particular person either. :Smiling:

Re: i think...

I'm not offended... I just think that in a "General Yakkity Yak" topics should promote discussion.

I guess either way people are going to say what they want about PayPal regardless of the subject, so the title doesn't really matter. I could start a thread called "Sasha" and talk about how I hate him, and you'll still have hundreds of people turn it into a 30-page thread about how much he's "pushing the envelope." :lol:

this is lame
