Destinypedia - The Wiki for Bungie's Destiny

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

The Community Forum is rife with them; it's hard to come here without seeing at least one or two on the front page, and at some times, many more than that. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're helpful, and sometimes they're just the latest round of whining on the topic du jour.

What is your opinion on these threads? Personally, I tend to think that people who post them are bored and looking for attention. But still, I like them.

ooga booga boooh

I read this as metal threads, and thought great! Are you talking about the Forum Ranks thread and things of that nature? After a while, they become more just a random place to make comment on ones own status, rather than generate "real" discussion on things that matter.

I think for now, in the time of darkness, they're nice to have so that people can generate some discussion of some sort. The Mythic banning thread has had it's time I think, and so have a few others. Some are good, and generate some interesting ideas.

Once activity kicks back in with Destiny, I think some should either be locked or deleted. Just my opinion.

I actually don't mind them, but as you said when they are created it's mostly from boredom.

I am never late,Nor am I early; I arrive precisely when I mean to.

I agree and during this time its fun to have them to brighten the place up, but I think is over done a little.

I don't mind the "B.net Birthday" threads, but that's about it. I'm tired of title based threads, or popularity contest threads.

I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

I hate it when I open a mail sack thread, and there's no challenge!

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

Depends on the type of metathread.

  • 11.12.2012 9:32 AM PDT

What goes here??

It depends, but I'm not bothered by them.

If your talking about Threads discussing other Threads I don't really mind them. If gives me something to read and keeps the Forum moving a little faster.

Pretty much a thread which talks about another thread.

Eh, it doesn't bother me really.

He must be. He's making a metathread about metathreads. So much meta.

If they smell good, and remind me of me, I like 'em.

They don't bother me, but I'm not all that interested in them.

I hate this Metathread.

Stupidity, when sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic

Now you've gone and done it. You made a meta-metathread.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

meta hreads?

wat

Am I being trolled?

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Key

20 cool points to the first person to make a thread about threads that talk about metathreads.
