On "Official" Game threads

Post by BlkbrryTheGreat »

I'm getting sick of people labeling their game theards as "official". The validity of a self-proclaimed a thread as "official" aside, there are several things I wish to point out.


1. A thread isn't going to be taken less seriously because you didn't label it as the "official" thread.

2. People are not going to start other threads simply because you didn't label yours as the "official" one.

3. If someone starts an "official" thread when there is already a thread on a given game/subject, they are nothing more then an attention seeking whore. Feel free to flame away.

In other words, unless you are a Mike (or a mod trying to bring some semblance of order to a multi-thread mess on a single subject), please avoid labeling your thread as the "official" thread. While I can promise no concrete punishment for doing so I will, from that point on, consider you an idiot.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

Actually, that happens. Remember the Ep3 trailer? We had like five threads on that till the mods started locking all but one.

Uh...who cares? Seriously, chill your ass down, and try posting a productive thread for once, instead of pissing and moaning about others doing so.
