Or, as an option, people who don't like it [edit: QOTW] could just not use it, rather than bleating on about it every five minutes.

We like QOTW
[edit]

Just to point out, I have misread - Happy Phantom isn't telling QOTW posters who actually post QOTW answers not to post. So I agree with him. This post is directed at the /OT kiddies who have infested QOTW. Apologies to HP. [/edit]

We just don't like the irrelevant shit that you lot relentlessly spew all over it.

That's the point you see, QOTW was good. This thread is a good example of why it isn't any more, and you post is EXACTLY what's wrong.

Why should we stop posting? Lots of people have already done exactly that, and it had ruined the thing. They stopped because of you.

Really, look at the stats. See how many answers there are to each one. The further back you go, the more there are. Are you really so dumb you haven't worked out that what we are saying is true?

I won't stop posting because you think I should, I'll stop posting because your repetitive bleating, and stupid childish attacks on anyone who actually posts a real answer make it pointless.

Maybe they should get rid of the reply button then.
Also, the questions aren't as good as they used to be due to a lack of original suggestions and the fact that it doesn't go on b3ta radio anymore so fewer people are interested. You can't blame the general decline of an entire site on a few replies that are largely ignored.

Or maybe it's just run its course,
and is now dying off (a bit like /talk, in that respect)?

Indeed.
There are never any new people, which I think is down to b3ta being ten years out of date, and the old users have grown up and moved on. It's nobodys fault but rob's for refusing to update the place.

Post an amusing or interesting story and we might cheer up.
Got any? No, didn't think so.

There probably are a lot of new people
who lurk and enjoy some of the 'banter' but frankly the shit some of the more 'regular' b3tans come out with puts me right off posting. I know it's a comedy website and there's some great stuff on here but just calling someone a 'cunt' on the internet does not make you funny. Just sayin'.

Edit: Don't mean you in particular.

How is suggesting that people those who would prefer to see QOTW closed simply stop using it in any way an attack on anything? Which of "my lot" (whoever that may be) spews anything anywhere? When have I said you should stop posting, or had a pop at any genuine contributors? Have you taken your meds today?

He's one of the worst for being a non-contributing moaner, ignore him.

'one of the worst for being a non-contributing moaner'!!
Oh, the irony, coming from b3ta's most useless contributor. Seriously folks, go and have a look at this cunt's 'Best answers to questions'. A member for 7 years and 7 months and that's the best he's come up with.

There's one post there that isn't a reply to one of mine, and instead it mentions me.
I'm not saying the owner of this account fancies me or anything, but they clearly want my cock.

I quite like to see the replies whenever someone posts some kind of self-pitying whine and then gets buried under the resulting abuse.
As a society we might be a lot better off if this approach was also taken with facebook. Too often the friend collectors engage in today's wallow in misery to be met with sympathy or at the worst silence, a healthy dose of man/shut the fuck up now and again would probably turn them into more well-rounded individuals and arrest their public decline into mental illness.

The inability to gain sympathetic replies removes most of the incentive to post self pitying whines

1. It's not just people from /OT that in your words have "infested" QOTW. Posters from all parts of B3ta are frustrated with what it has become.
2. Overall site traffic is down (see Alexa.com for details). QOTW has suffered as a result of that, as have other parts of the site.
3. Complaining about QOTW on QOTW does not improve it, in fact it's probably one of the reasons less people post on it.

# of answers to QOTW since it started (first week on left).



I don't know what point I am trying to make with this.

I don't either
but I would have done exactly that myself, were it not for my entirely feckless nature.
