This is a question Things I've gone off

Spimf says: I've always enjoyed listening to Pink Floyd, but lately I've noticed if my iPod plays any of their tracks, I skip them. I'm starting to realise I've gone off them. What have you gone off lately?

I'll tell you something I have got
turned onto -
Ignore2.0.

Months ago I railed against this idea and it's implementation. To me back then it seemed so pointless to make it a 'double blind' setup, particularly in light of the fact that all you need to do to surpass it is to simply logout.

These days. I've changed my tune. Best, most useful implementation of an ignore function on a forum EVAR!
I log out on Fri to see which of the shit-flingers got their pointless one-liners onto the popular page but apart from that it's actually made this place far more read-able.
So, if like me you're sick of the dribbly faeces flingers - stick 'em on ignore. It does actually work! Whodathunkit?
*Matter of fact, quite a few of them won't even be clever enough to logout to read this!*

Sometimes
it is just better to go for a walk, or make yourself a sandwich, watch a movie, talk to a flesh and blood friend, go for a smoke, have a beer,...
There are a hundred things that are better.
Turn it off and do something else for a while.

True.
And yep, I've had a great morning coaching my daughter's soccer team and am soon to crack a coldy.

But for when you are here on this website, specifically to interact with your fellow b3tans then nothing, and I mean nothing gets rid of the annoying buzz of non-story posting, shit-stirring, pointless repetitive posters like


Wouldn't you agree?

To be completely honest...
It does sound like you WANT them to log out, read it, and then comment. I understand you've received a large amount of abuse from them, but you seem to be encouraging it here.

Fair point.
But if it gets more people putting the stirrers on ignore then eventually all they'll be doing is chasing their own tails.

I feel it would be better if the reply count didn't include messages from people ignoring you though.
That way certain easily upset forum users wouldn't be able to feel they had claimed a victory, however pathetically small, every time someone they had taken a dislike to clicked to read the replies to a post only to find there were none visible.

So you log out to read the posts you've ignored?
What a spectacularly pointless waste of time.

It's good to cover all your bases.
