I enjoy reading most of them.

I think it'd prolly be a good idea for a 'joke' thread, a 'quiz' thread (I"m guilty of not doing that, lol) or summat like that to consolidate the twaddle to leave room for other twaddle

It can prolly get annoying if there are mult threads a day....and I know I've done it too so

Yeah, like maybe a "Time Wasters" forum or something like that.

I do have some joke threads going already

when I post jokes I try and post them in one thread instead of making separate posts for each joke or story...

Need A Laugh

Just for the Ladies

Just For Men

Funny Animals

Growing Old

Funny Kids

If you don't like it don't read it

Doesn't bother me either way....I don't post them, but I read participate in a lot of them...

Lately there has been a huge increase in posts that come from e-mail forwards.

Do you enjoy them?

Oh thank God somebody addressed this! I wouldn't mind them so much if those posting them would be more selective.

I have posted a lot of new topics - I'm not shy about that, but I do try to post things that I believe will either spark a good discussion or things that are related to relationships. When I first perused through OT (back in June of last year), I observed some of the regulars who were good at posting threads that would get a discussion going and I've tried to do the same.

so who decides what things are worth posting and what things are not??

we are all different people here and we all like different things

I don't like all the political threads but I just stay away from those....

Like I mentioned in my earlier post, I try and posts jokes etc.. all in one thread..... not a separate thread for each joke....

I hold them in the same disdain as signatures that take us too much space with photos. At least I can choose not to read threads if the topic clearly indicates a waste of my time. The photo signatures show up everywhere.

Certainly. Which is why some posts get a lot of traffic, while others simply get bumped into obscurity.

Not if you switch 'em off, like I do. Although I do miss being able to see people's timelines in their sigs...
