Cupcake and Bananas threads ARE NOT EXEMPT!!!!

[Mikey]

Last Person to Post... now hear me out:

The thread is a million pages long. There are a million pages of nonsense. If you didn't see the thread when it started - like me - and didn't glance until it was 20 pages deep, you were already lost. And since there is absolutely no concrete foundation to the thread - which is the entire point - I'm not gonna read back three or four pages to find out exactly what the hell you dipshits are talking about.

Maybe I'm a hater. Maybe I'm not one of the cool kids. Maybe I'm just stuck in my ways. But I know at least one person who will agree with me.

Oh, you got my vote. Not to mention that for all the shit the MLB Draft got for making the "Recent 10 posts" feature useless for a month that thread has done it for like 6 months. I've almost completely abandoned that feature because 8 out of 10 of those posts are most likely just people saying "post" and putting up random ass pictures.

And noone try and sell us on how that thread has created some great photoshopping, some hilarious jokes, those Inspiration images, or anything else. You know as well as I do that they would have happened somewhere else.

I have to disagree, Lucky. While some photoshopping would've been done for sure, and a Motivator or two would've popped up here and there, they wouldn't have happened to the degree they did without the LP2PW thread. It's a great place to just post random crap in an attempt to either gross people out or make them laugh, and it's a fantastic way to kill some time on a slow day at work.

This place is a wealth of randomness and insult tossing. You can't convince me that we wouldn't have tossed random insults at each other. Another thread like the Risk one would have popped up and it would have happened there. DocX would have started a thread for his stuff like Stu did for his. The inspiration for that stuff was NOT that thread. The thread was just the excuse. But here at Pun's we've never really needed an excuse for anything.

The thread is a great way to kill the monotony of the work day without using any brain function. Ok. For the sake of argument I'll buy that. But that truly funny shit and original stuff would have happened. Would there have been a thread of random pictures from the web and insult tossing? Well... yeah. Before that one it was called the I Miss thread. It would have taken a new form.

But I hated the I Miss thread for the same reason the OO mods locked it down. It got to a point where there was almost zero thought into it and all creativity was gone. It was just "here's something mildly amusing kinda linked." LP2PW just sucked out any bit of thought that was left. And honestly? Every once and awhile I end up reading half a dozen posts in that thread through the 10 Recent link. And more than a couple of times I've had to fight the urge to be a wet towel and post how silly it was that SOME theme and thought was being put into the thread for 4 or 5 posts in a row and then someone felt the need to post something completely and utterly random that completely killed the joke. ANd not like the thread had lagged. We're talking about minutes between posts.

"But random and meaningless is the point." Yeah, I know. It makes my head hurt.
