So which kinds of threads do you like more, serious or non-serious?

I don't care as long as I have an opinion about something.... which usually keeps me away from the serious ones :p

Threads about more "trivial" things are the most interesting to me.. I'm perfectly capable of reading the news and providing my own sarcasm or spin, so "serious" threads here aren't worth much to me. However, threads having to do with art or music or personal interests or humor are great. The whole "here's my spin on a recent event..." not as good.

Bah, I post more in non-serious threads but that doesn't mean I don't like serious ones.

And there are huuuuuuge differences among non-serious threads, too. I'm rather picky about what constitutes a good social thread (aka "spam with a point") and what's just pointless drivel. Even if you can't always tell from my posts. <.<

I prefer serious threads. I can't follow non-serious threads, and no one pays any attention to me in them.

Maybe we just don't dare to disturb your seriousness.

I didn't know I was such a scary person.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

Also, I prefer serious threads. 7chan humor wouldn't really be appreciated by the mods.

i prefer threads which i can use to further myself towards my ultimate goal

speaking of 7chan, what happened to the chan sites a few weeks ago? i heard there were arrests:eek:

i've not identified any particular pattern to my posting. i guess it depends what kind of mood i'm in. but i almost always vote in polls. the only time i don't is if there's only two options and i don't agree with either of them. i do like polls though :)

I only like serious threads with serious posts by serious people.

wow that's serious

speaking of 7chan, what happened to the chan sites a few weeks ago? i heard there were arrests:eek:

They all briefly went down, with /i/ on 7chan removed and 420chan shut down for a while. 7chan is down again right now, but because of maintenance rather than any kind of attack of legal reason.

I didn't know I was such a scary person.Nah, not scary. *pats*

Nah, not scary. *pats*

Good. :)

So what is it, then? Do I project seriousness or something?

Good. :)

if you do could you teach me how? it sounds like a good power

i smell seriousness, and oestrogen coming from you

serious woman maybe? or transexual?

Good. :)

So what is it, then? Do I project seriousness or something?Bah, it's likely just me. I tend to get shocked into self-consciousness with some of the more skillful debaters out there and kind of preemptively feel like a schmuck. :rolleyes: :p

Um... take people seriously, be reasonable, talk about serious things... I don't know.

Serious bisexual male.

(Why do so many people think I'm female? That's another enduring mystery.)

I don't know, actually. A lot of people think (or thought) I'm female because of my nation's name.

"Soheran" sounds pretty masculine to me... but then, my judgment of these things is questionable at best.

I prefer non-serious threads although I do post to some serious threads.

It depends on the thread, really.

:confused:

I'm just a pathetic socially inept bleeding heart with enough time on his hands to think, read, and argue.

I respect anyone with the comic ability to turn a serious thread into a not-so-serious one. :p

I love how this is humble, apologetic and insulting at the same time. :p ;)

I didn't mean for it to insult you... just me.

The fact that I debate well is hardly to my credit - it's an accident of birth and environment, and a compensation for my lack of talent in virtually every other area.

That, and an expression of just how much I loathe bigotry and capitalism.

hmm, the option two in the poll ended up unexpectedly far ahead.

Same here. A good thread's a good thread, seriouis or silly.

I suspect it's a combo of things - but especially the thread title and topic are probably going to attract less serious people.

Ahem.

Yeah it is sort of a loaded thread isn't it. Especially considering the topic isn't particularly serious.

Depends on the subject of the serious thread.

I only like serious threads with serious posts by serious people.

Three pages and nobody posted the Serious Cat? You guys are falling down on the job. :p

If a piques my interest, I'll post in it. I tend to steer clear of the Bush sucks/Iraq sucks, etc threads, because they've been done to death.

No not really, any thread intended to be serious experiences an attempted hijacking about 6 posts in, most of them succeed.

I don't like any threads anymore.

I suppose after posting twenty-thousand times you've seen everything

But if you don't like it anymore, why are you still here? Are you wasting time while you wait for something?

I have a wealth of knowledge and common sense but choose not to share it or display it for fear that people would think highly of me.
