I'm a tad concerned

With some of the standards of threads and attitudes of posters. Lets face it the majority of threads in the "off topic" section of cricket web are lame, with a fair chunk of these game threads...I mean c'mon, game threads...nothing worse guys, nothing worse.

Apart from that though when quality threads are posted certain members seem to be jealous that they lack the vital ingredient (humour) to start these types of quality threads and make it their business to make negative posts in the good threads but insist on positing positively in the obviously lame threads.

Just wondering, what's the go?

Really dudes, c'mon!

Because you've contributed to the "quality" of Off Topic so regularly?

I dunno, I'd take your unsubstantiated whinging for one.

You complain about the standard of threads here, and yet kiss up nibbs's backside on the ridiculous threads he creates. I applaud your irresolute stance on this.

word dude. OT is a pretty boring place. half the threads seem to be either post count milestone celebrations or game threads, which is just so boring. then if someone posts a thread that marc doesn't like it gets shot down, which is a shame because the threads he doesn't like are always the funny ones.

agreed nibbs. OT is all about worldly concerns (politics), food, music, girls... in fact anything you want it to be about. if you don't like something you don't have to come in and say it's pointless talking about it. just leave it alone

lord, post counts are irrelevant...just because I don't have a few thousand posts in the pointless game threads that are designed for nothing more that people can get off over reaching a so called milestone on the internet doesn't mean I can't make a clear judgement of this place.
