... but what is the "Band Name/Song Title Game" thread all about?!

It's fcuking huge now. Why are people still adding to it? Has anyone won yet?! :skeptic:

And yes, I know I don't need to open a thread if I see the subject matter I don't like, but this one I really do not understand. Someone says some words, someone else some more words including one of the original words?!

I am totally missing the point. Can someone explain?! This might be fun in a pub with a handful of mates, but when it's chucked over to the World Wide Web it softens the impact somewhat!

Right, anyone for a game of FizzBuzz?! :crazy:

Do I win £40?

It's a game. It's supposed to be fun. It is played on other forums. If you don't like it, don't play. Other people seem to like it, so what's the harm? We're not posting just words. They are song titles and band names.

Oh, and there is no winner. It can go on forever. I have seen on some forums where the pages go into the thousands. :D

29 Jul 2008, 05:40

It's better than working! :lol:

29 Jul 2008, 05:44

To me, it's just a way of killing time online...it's not like anyone's forcing you to answer the thread.

So True. Mindless fun is good. Especially for me because I lost my mind a long time ago.

It's not really a 'game' though, is it? It's rather pointless. I might as well just start a thread with the number '1' and then ask everyone to contribute by adding '1' to my number. It's just as difficult. Perhaps if someone chucked in a completely esoteric track with some Cornish words in there, or summat (Aphex Twin anyone?) then it might slow it down a bit, or kill it, but that's unlikely!

I'm sorry, but I really just don't geddit. As I said, it might be 'a larf' sat in a boozer with just a few mates using your wits in real-time. But when opened up to the net, it just seems pointless (that word again).

Really, I'm lost.

Hmmm... a Barm... Not often i hear that one to describe a bacon sarny, at least not in a long while.It's either a bacon batch or a bacon bap for me.Although once when i was in Blackpool i asked for a bacon batch and the woman said "you're from Coventry then?" arrgghh :angry: How dare i be assumed to be from Coventry! :nonono: .She knew that's what bacon sarnies are named in the midlands but to be labelled a Coventry-ite is beyond offensive.I'd sooner be called a fcukin Brummie than a Cov scum.

But yeah that words game thread.I opened it maybe twice but can't be arsed with it :sleep:

See what I think is you could apply it to every post on the whole board (ie with one word from the previous post included.)

then just wait to see if anyone's head explodes in response to a blank post.

that might make it more fun :shrug:

Nice one, Jarv. Your little murmur of discontent has actually served to reinvigorate that thread.

:shrug:

This is NOOL in 2008. You will NEVER beat the fuckwits.

29 Jul 2008, 08:58

The only games that work on forums are ones that take little to no thought or education but make the person feel intellegent afterwards, or at least clever. I found the game interesting for a few moments, but then slapped some sense into myself later...

At least its not as pointless a thread as "what are you listening to right now"....

It looks like psycho-analysis works... But for me it's too late, i think

29 Jul 2008, 15:40

I couldnt see the point of it from the beginning, so i started my own game of making up imaginary song titles/artists.

It's still no more fun, and no ones pulled me on it yet.

29 Jul 2008, 16:10

all i can say it kills time at work

29 Jul 2008, 16:40

Sadly, this is probably the best thread in which to say:

The band is long dead.

The 'worst song ever' 'worst gig ever' 'worst day of my life ever' threads are just depressing.

If this site ever becomes even a reasonable pastiche of what it once was, then I'll return.

Until then, goodbye my friends...

I think saying the forums have gone to the dogs since the band ended is a bit unfair.

They were equally as shite beforehand :nod:

30 Jul 2008, 06:09

I will stand up and say that there is at least one section of the board, maybe two, which are still decent. Taht is, the sections of the board not ruined by geeks.

Even this board has its moments. Ok. its usually on a Saturday night when grant starts posting when he's pissed, but still...

You know, I would. But free speech isnt in effect on this board. Instead, we are bound by a meaningless babble about "community standards" which is their to try and enforce the myth that we're all one big happy community, instead of a load of people who like (or LikeD, in my case) the same band.

So basically, people can act like geeks all they want, but you're not allowed to tell them that they're a geek.

Dear Jarvis.

My advice would be to leave the banque you are working in, because you are beginning to complain and moan like a real Frenchman.

But nothing compared, of course, to uncle Liam that I suspect to be, at least, more French than me.

That said, we could begin with a new game. The thread game.

It's hardly a complaint or even a proper moan, now is it? I simply don't geddit. I'd like to know what purpose said thread serves. Can anyone really explain? People are simply repeating words at the end of the day, nowt more complicated than that. Please don't try and sell it as 'fun', it's anything but.

30 Jul 2008, 09:45

The negativity round here is just disgusting.
