You're just putting baldmonkey
on the popular page to take the piss now, arent you?

Go on, you can admit it to me, I hate you all anyway.

WHY WON'T MY FUCKING PRINTER TURN OFF?

(I helped save b3ta! Comma, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:08, archived)
Unplug it.
Then, it has to turn off.

It was making noises at me :(

useless on /talk

VOTE FOR THIS TO PROVE ME RIGHT

*clicks*
What were you expecting though? It's not as if /talk posts are put into the newsletter like /board posts and /link posts are. Basically it's just an assortment of daft posts with the odd good one or two in there.

Now look here,

This so hard it hurts
what /talk needed was a hall of quotes fame, for the truly inspired amusing quotes, like Rj's fetch one earlier.

Didn't you say at one point
that there would never be a popular page for /talk, as it would end up exactly as it has ended up?
(Flabbergaster laughs at danger (and breaks all the rules), Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:11, archived)
I probably did
and then, on a whim, I asked Robtoo to stick one in.

My theory was that it would settle down, and you'd find some unexpected use for it, but no one has.

So it just sits there, full of crap.

I'd remove it, but that's work!
(I helped save b3ta! rob, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:13, archived)
Now it's there, is there any point in removing it?
The 'I Like This' is handy for keeping track of links/posts we liked
(I helped save b3ta! Cap'n Tallbeard, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:15, archived)
oh yeah
that's a reason enough. Social bookmarking init?
(I helped save b3ta! rob, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:16, archived)
Yup
I have a few things in my profile that made me laugh and I can go back and revisit them.
One thing, though: when I go to the posts I liked via my profile, there's no way to see them in context - the 'page' icon at the top-left isn't there, and neither is the 'more' link. Some of these posts need the context (I'll put this on the Bugs board too)
(I helped save b3ta! Cap'n Tallbeard, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:19, archived)
This.
I sometimes click "I like this" on certain posts so I can find it through my profile later and show Mrs Eddache.
(I helped save b3ta! Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:16, archived)
this
but I'd rather they had the post icon, so I could link to them rather than just sit back and enjoy them.
(I helped save b3ta! icklepeach *relurks*, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:18, archived)
It would work if rather than clicking the post they laughed at,
they clicked the first post in the thread that lead to the funny, & people perusing the popular page clicked the post icon & read the whole thing, thus understanding context & punch line fully.
This is far too much effort for everyone though I suspect.
(I helped save b3ta! ImNotRightBotheredMe fool, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:16, archived)
Aye, we've got a lot of punchlines
but not many jokes on there.
(I helped save b3ta! Johnny Catfish - Yowsa!, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:18, archived)
Apart from your mum.

Pffft.

It started well
although a quote alone is usually hard to see in context. But now it's a tedious tool for tedious tools.

Thanks for listening, though, even if the masses were wrong.

We're all urban subversives
what did you expect?
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:11, archived)
It is only very occassionally useful.
The links one is probably the only consistantly useful one though. Yes.

it doesn't hurt so I'd leave it
what we do need is a search button on /talk
(I helped save b3ta! Clairebare Back once again with the Ill behaviour, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:14, archived)
I think it's because of the non sequiturs. I'm going to put it to the test
The other day I was walking down the high street and I saw my friend matt and i said hi and he said hi and i laughed at him because he's a mong really we just pretend to like him
SO I SHAT ON HIS HEAD AND HAD SEX WITH HIS MUM
