You didn't ask people for their favourite lines though
you just posted a load of lyrics, which isn't engaging and doesn't inspire conversation. If you'd put at the end "what are your favourite lyrics and why?" then we might have been more accommodating.

It's not cliquey, it's just how a forum based around the words Question of the Week works.

Gonz sent me the video for the secret handshake a bit ago, I'll see if I can find it.
I've nearly learnt it.

I feel so left out
I didn't even know we had a secret handshake.
I'm going to have to post some pathetic emo lyrics so that everyone knows how upset I am, ONLINE.

We can practice the handshake on Tuesday
I bet we could totally get that backflipping bit down

Totally.
We could even stick the pole in there somewhere.

That's a fair comment. On the only other board I've posted on
it became the norm when starting "List" or "Give Examples Of" threads to just state the title and it was understood if you gave two or three examples that that was what was expected.

It's great that you're trying, though.

you were almost there
the thing is, even if you had asked what our favourite lyric was for example, you may still have ended up with a slating. Just need to take it on the chin. Mentioning the ignore button won't do you any favours.

I think it's mostly because people on offtopic are here because they're bored at work or whatever
so we need something engaging to have conversations about and lists don't really work like that. That's why everyone gets mad when there's a question of the week that requests good and bad things (like this week for example!) and people don't like to speak of that travesty of the question that was 'Mixtapes'...*shudder*

Understood. Thank you.

no problem
I realise I probably came across as a heinous bitch earlier with ALL MY CAPITALISATION. I was already angry on the internet at someone else and took it out on here a bit.
