So, I'm browsing the Convention Center, trying to find a topic I'd like to reply to... and bam, nothing. They're all news threads about stuff I could either:

a) care less about
b) have just as easily read on a news feed (and probably did)
c) lock

Most apply. :P So, let's create a thread that's actually interesting guys, k? I know I'm not the only one complaining about this stuff and annoyed by it.

If people aren't making threads, it's because they don't want to. =p That's how this deal works.

I am definitely annoyed by it. As I said in the other thread, I go to Digg and Reddit for my "News Clips". These threads don't generate any conversation.

Btw, I'm blaming Fredy. I say we lock him up in the stockade and stone him slowly but surely. :)

I dunno, I find them interesting, Maybe a Current Events sub board?
There's an award for annoying Fredy, how about one for being anoyed by Fredy..?

But I still like the news topics.



Edit
OK read the time indexes for this reply and the two above...

I think news topics are fine. It's the fact that it looks like all Fredy, Conor, whoever else is doing is just going down the Digg/Reddit homepage, grabbing a random link and copy pasting the news snippet. If you like that, go to Digg and Reddit. They're news sites. Studio Zero is a forum where conversation and opinion rules. At forums, subjectivity rules over objectivity and just posting a paragraph from another site and not giving a damned letter of your opinion is what is so annoying.

Josh: Exactly. :P If they'd give a damned opinion or just post something that would CREATE conversation, it isn't an issue.

Am I the only person besides Fredy that thinks they make for an interesting read?

^ Man slashing exercise balls balls for sexual urge = wtf.

Black police man suing over message board = wtf I care? xD

However that credit card spoof was kinda funny and some of them are "okay" but in excess like this it is kinda insane.. Coming into the convention center and seeing 10 new news threads is just ugh.. Lets all talk about cake or something lol.

IF you're gonna post an article, think about it for a second. Think about if you honestly think it'll create discussion.... if it does, it can be posted. But most of the recent ones I saw will NOT create discussion. :P
