# No, it's this weeks competition
And you're a silly chicken who still hasn't twigged why threadwasting is bad.

# Explain then clever chicken
Why is it bad?

# *sigh*
Because there's only space for 15 threads on the board, and every time someone wastes a thread it pushes something more original and witty off into the spaz.

# which is exactly what
Ijon tried to explain earlier and he obviously didn't read it.

Hence the *sigh*

Accept my apple ogies...

# every time you post a new thread
an old one gets kicked off the page.

as most of the people who start new threads are doing so to show off their new pics, if you make a new thread for what seems to some people like a silly reason (like asking a question that's answered in the FAQ or elsewhere on the site, for example) some people tend to get upset - especially if it's their hard work that just got knocked off the page.

"silly chicken" is a vaguely friendly way around here of refering to someone who seems to be in the habit of doing stuff that would be "against the rules", if we had any - which we don't really, excepting the "don't post porn" one which you were rather bad about earlier.

# It wasn't pron
Was it?

# it was obviously modified pr0n
which, from across an office, wouldn't look modified

you have to remember a lot of those who're watching the board are doing so from work - and anything that looks like pr0n will get some people fired... bosses aren't likely to want to look closer just in case it's not really pr0n.

# there's no such thing as threadwasting
what's really bad is asking questions and not reading the answers, or posting pr0n and not reading/acting on the "take it down" pleas (I saw that earlier)
