+BrrrMo Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 It seems to me that no matter what the Forum topic is about after the first 10 or 15 replies the reply content goes downhill. Anyone else notice this? BrrrMo Quote
nonaeroterraqueous Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Ten or fifteen sounds rather optimistic, don't you think? Quote
bogleman Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 it's like a contest or a big pitty party - bet the thread gets locked or moved before the 15th post Quote
+The Leprechauns Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 It can happen faster, like if Vinny is active in the forums at the time. To keep your thread full of helpful content, ask a question about hamsters. We'll be happy to assist you. Quote

+briansnat Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 After about 10 or 15 replies pretty much everything that can be said about a subject has already been said. After that you get repetition, nitpicking and the occasional pissing match. Quote

+GrateBear Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 If you think this forum is bad, try Cruise Critic. I'm convinced most of the posters are senior citizens with nothing better to do than post the same answers over and over again. It's like everyone has to put their two cents in, even though the question was answered 10 post previously. And heaven forbid you should make a comment about it--they pounce like a rat on cheese!

Skippermark Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Maybe there should be an 8 post limit per thread. Quote
+wimseyguy Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 That would accomplish one of two things: 1. Many threads would go on with less angst and might have a reasonable discussion. 2. Many threads wouldn't get past page 1. Both are good options; I would endorse that proposal. Quote
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) At $30/lb those would pay for a lot of geocaching fuel! Not that I would lead a thread off topic, or anything. Edited January 19, 2009 by TheAlabamaRambler Quote

+wimseyguy Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) They're geoducks, just like Brian said they were. Although I almost hit the report button for that third pic with the shiny red nails. It's pronounced goo-ey-duck though. Good eatin' I've heard. Edited January 19, 2009 by wimseyguy Quote

Thanks to me, LOL what was the "colorful" name of the clams? and did you get "the clap"? Quote
+Keruso Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) dang Vinny. He made me double post Edited January 19, 2009 by Keruso Quote
+Klatch Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 what was the "colorful" name of the clams? and did you get "the clap"? I never went digging for them and the name wouldn't be proper in a family oriented forum. Maybe in equestrian circles, but not here. Quote
+flask Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 yes, the geoduck is delicious. i think i remember reading somewhere that the average age of those harvested is 44. the life cycle of the animal is interesting and the regulations for harvesting are equally interesting. i used to do a lesson plan where i described the geoduck and a thunder mole and asked classes to decide which was fictitious. the thunder mole is a small brown or red carnivorous rodent with a lighting-shaped marking on its back. it has two forms, the african or the european form. it burrows quickly underground and surfaces suddenly on its above-ground prey so as to shock it into a moment of non-movement causing it to be caught easier. you can do your own reading on the geoduck. everyone invariably picks the clam as being way more unbelievable.

+Keruso Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 i wonder if we've officially kiiled this thread. thunder mole, lol. Kinda sounds like a Pikachu Quote
+flask Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 i wonder if we've officially kiiled this thread. not until it gets locked down. Quote
