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?

I want some qotwers to come on my side of this argument.

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.

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.

It's a simple question which you seem to be unable to answer. Shall I answer it for you?
Well, howabout you like to come to OT and pretend that your fucking funny and that we will actually find anything you say interesting.
Will that do?

Stop moaning about offtopic when from what I can remember you contribute nothing. I don't think I've ever laughed at any of your posts and this whiney fucking tone you're taking is pathetic.

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.

QOTW is what's brought a lot of people to B3ta, it's funny almost every week, granted it's not had a lot of scope for major funny lately, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be again in the future.

nested replies is part of the cause I think (not saying I don't like them)
I think that things just change though. last few days, and particularly today have seen some topics that don't require long answers. when one comes up then there will be some.
It seems to me that we are gradually turning some /talkers into real people, rather than lolinternetbullies ;-)

That's why I posed this as a question in the hope (realised!) that it would provoke some debate. I don't expect it to be a polarising moment in B3ta history. Just more diverting than a series of nested one liners that would be more at home in /talk.

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 can't say that it's the /talkers that have caused this, there are a few who have joined us in a non /talk way. It seems to be some of the regulars who have started this trend.
( , Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:51, Reply)

Which is why you post on a forum like this instead of talking to real people.
This does not count during office hours.

It's more fun to imaginatively insult someone than to give them internet hugs and cups of tea.
( , Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:59, Reply)

there's a fine line, and often the insults get just as dull as tea and hugs
( , Fri 5 Jun 2009, 15:01, Reply)

As I see it a lot of the insulting isn't all that imaginative, and I don't insult people for no reason, I just see no point in it.

But then I post on all of the boards, so know that all of the boards are set up differently and have different characteristics.
I think this board benefits through having a wider variety of posters.

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.
But I still enjoy it
