This is a question Off Topic

Are you a QOTWer? Do you want to start a thread that isn't a direct answer to the current QOTW? Then this place, gentle poster, is your friend.

A serious question.
Are you finding it just a tad boring now we have been joined by some /talk loving b3tans? I can remember when all this was erudite and replies were longer and a good bit more interesting. If I wanted to read\enjoy a /talk type of exchange I will go there.
Just to quote: Are you a QOTWer? Do you want to start a thread that isn't a direct answer to the current QOTW? Then this place, gentle poster, is your friend.

I welcome any contributor with open eyes, but really, couldn't we have just a little more effort? Hm?

It wasn't meant as one.
More of an observation. I do find the occasional oneliners quite the distraction to be honest. But not when they are filling most of the OT. Defeats the object I think.

Do you want me to put more line breaks in my posts?



Or

use an irrationaly large number of irrelevent, pointless, annoying multi sylable words because I like the sound of my own typing?

oh and sub Chalie Brooker extended metaphors about sex/bodily functions?

qotw has always been shit, have a look at the archive.

I got to be honest, QOTW isn't my cup of tea eaither.
I really like OT, esspecialy now I've meet a lot of you, but I find that QOTW quite.... dull isn't the right word, but it doesn't titilate my interests. I really find it hard to get into Online Group Theorpy Sessions, esspeicaly now I meet people face to face. It's not that I'm against them per-say, just that it's not for me. I admire those who can do that though, but I feel sorry for them at the same time, as it tends to get drowned out by bragging. Almost like "I had Personal Tragady X" then someone else coming up with "I had Personal Tragady X more'er". I would also feel quite gutted if I spilt my guts and didn't get a reply.

Is that this last week OT just seems to have becoame another /talk. We've had whole days where all that has happened is that people are insulting one another.

I'm not saying that this didn't happen before, it just didn't happen on such a large scale.

I remember when B3ta was, you know, a bit of fun. Suddenly, all of these self-appointed defenders of what B3ta is 'about' started bleating on about they are somehow superior to other people. You're not, and I hope that you realise that really soon. I, like a few others, try and post on all the boards, and I've met people from /board, /qotw and /talk. I have, I admit, got involved in a few slanging matches in the past, but then I realised I was being a prick and I got on with my life.

There are wankers everywhere, in whatever walk of life - you seem to forget that QOTW has a few of 'em as well. Once again, B3ta is free, and instead of bitching about the content maybe you should try attempting to raise the bar.

Crikey, the way some of you bang on it's no wonder people think QOTW is a pile of wank and shit.
