Maybe it's just me, but I remember that GD used to be filled with a lot more "meaningful" topics before. I don't know, maybe it was just simpler back in the day, but it just seems like GD has been flooded with those pointless opinion topics (for the past year :blink:).

 

I don't mean to offend anyone, but I just feel that the sole purpose of these topics is for people to boost their post count and to get hot topics. Now, some of these topics are actually valid and help to create a sense of community within these boards: ones that involve the actual members talking about eachother, expressing gratitude, etc. However, most of these topics can hardly even be called that. I mean, they're more like polls with too many options to be allowed in the BZP Voting Booth. Now, I will not specify ANY topic so as not to put someone "on the spot". However, I don't think it's necessary to list them; it's quite obvious which topics I am referring to.

 

Again, I don't mean for this to come off as flaming or anything like that. I just want to see if anyone feels the same way I do (because I DON'T want to make a topic that's going to turn into a whole lot of spam). You wouldn't believe how frustrated I've become... I'm actually considering making a song about it (I know guitar :D). One of 'em "I Want It That Way" parodies... lol.

 

I just want the boards to be a little cleaner and have a some more topics with a little more depth to them. I want topics that require more than a one-word answer.

 

Again, what do you guys think about this? I hope I'm not the only one! :blush:

*ahem* Well, being as I post in almost every GD topic, :blush: I can't say I'm sure which ones you mean. And no, it's not really post inflation, I don't think; not if you're staying on topic. It's just nice to see what others think about stuff. Sometimes you see some interesting answers.

 

But what do you mean by topics with more depth? I mean, if you were going to start a GD topic, what would it be about?

 

I want topics that require more than a one-word answer.
Maybe you could make a poll about that. :happy:

I've noticed this too, it's kind of the same in BIONICLE sets, I see like 5 topics that are only slightly different.

 

What was your last set? What was your last villain set? What is your next set? What is your next villain set?

Ohhh, yes. I know exactly what you mean. I suppose it's just a side effect of the ever increasing population of BZPower. They also do it to reach the elusive hot topic. Rather pointless if you ask me. Anyway, if everyone stops posting in these topics people may begin to take the point and stop creating them. It's worth a try at least.

Seriously. there are some with noce questions, but others that make no difference in life, like "Hou menni setz do u havuh???/".

I mean, seriously! I do love lots of posts, but am getting sick of one-word-and-you've-achieved-a-post topics. and I especially don't like the people who post in those topics, but purposefully make a flaw in what they typed, JUST so they can post AGAIN to correct themselves...

Ouch!
