No, it's the constant threadstomping with no real content, especially when there was conversation going on.
If all those posts about me were possitive things about me, I'd feel exactly the same, that it's dull and tedious.

well yeah but on /talk the threads go off at a tangent very quickly
it very rarely matters what the original post was about, people just wander into discussions about other things. Take the current top thread as an example, no content at all and yet people are having a conversation around it.

Starting a thread doesn't mean "let's all talk about this", very often it just means exactly what I say, I'm bored of that, change the subject.

Yeah', I know what the thread starts with isn't always where the conversation goes...
... and if you're bored of whats being said, then go off and do something else like everyone else does, or threadjack with something you want to talk about, /talk's not there just to entertain you. You post them within minutes a few minutes of a new thread or while conversation is still happening. With that 'you cool?' thread, look at whenever the previous thing from that was said, it was 4 hours ago, nothing else was going on... which is why people do that Alright thread.

You well know this though.
