Now after this, please don't come into this topic and start doing it just to be ironic/annoying.

I was waiting for someone to do that.

I think that just quoting someone adds far more to a conversation than the average "Like" "Thumbs up" or "+1" button. While it doesn't add anything to a conversation, it can keep a thread alive until someone can add something more. Imagine what that "ODST Sucks" thread on the ODST forum would be like if no one made a redundant post.


But that's the thing. If conversation and the bringing back into relevancy of the topic has to rely on quote-posting, then the conversation clearly either doesn't want to be discussed by the community, or all that can be said has been said and therefore it should die just as any other conversation people clearly don't want to discuss.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

I think it adds to the discussion in certain situations.

Simply to provide support, or to second a statement.

Sometimes I'd rather just quote a well-written post than type out an essay on how I feel the same exact way.
