But I still don't know why everyone's getting worked up about it

Well, it doesn't matter as you can just not read the thread as you're perfectly at liberty to do so. It's not exactly hard to skim read and you do not have to read every topic in the "recent posts" area.Quote:

The problem is as I said to scottish - Habbox wouldn't know the meaning of the word pointless if you white washed a wall, wrote the definition in huge letters and sat them down to read it while Stephen Fry loudly defines it in a deafening voice.Quote:

Say out loud "The point behind the post your setup thread is to post my setup". That's the point, to post your setup. Same for "post what you're wearing" - if people say PJs then they've grasped the simple concept of what the point behind the thread is - to post what they're wearing.
I would go through all the maths and statistics I did the last time this discussion came up where it was discovered that the number of posts in those threads would hardly make someone a Habbox God anytime soon. It was something like, assuming 30 people have ever posted in one of those threads, they would have made about 975 posts within the 3 years of their presumed membership, which isn't a lot and quite a waste of time if that's what they're aiming for - but there's no use focusing on assumptions which is what is wrong with this thread, as it assumes people are posting in these threads to raise their post count when they may just be bored and doing for a mild kick of entertainment - which seems to be unwanted on this forum these days - "fun" is a horrible thing.
Post count really isn't the issue. I understand that everyone moans about how the people posting there don't deserve post counts for all those pointless posts.
BUT. Post count aside, it's those threads that are actually the annoyance.
I don't really care for post count, I wouldn't care either way if it was removed. But what does annoy me is that every time I click the 'What's New' tab, there is the 'What are you watching/wearing/listening to' threads every time. They are so beyond pointless.
When we ran the Mole there were some complaints about our threads clogging up the games forum so they got moved together. Now I know sticking them somewhere won't stop them showing on What's New, but in the same respect they are clogging up the forum with pointless crap.
That's the only thing that bothers me about them.
So, they can't be trashed because they are 'important to history, or the last 9 years worth of posts' blah blah...' Fine. But as a community do we really think that important posts of the forum's history is what John was wearing on a Friday night 9 years ago? Because I don't think that's important. And if they are needed for history, then fine. Close them, keep them for history, but don't let it go any further... Just stop them from now on.
T'is tres annoying!
