Lock the Funny Quotes Thread
Or at least start a new thread titled "A place to post things which are way to long and in the end are not even the tiniest bit funny". That way, we either can let the the good times that used to be part of the Funny Quotes Thread fade away into the oblivion of page 2+, or give the 2 or maybe 3 users who seem to think every multipage conversation with no formating is funny beyond all belief that it needs to be posted on the forums for others to read! will have some place to post their crap.

The real problem with the funny quotes thread is that some people think it's a good place to try to bash players they don't like and disguise it as a "funny quote". For instance, "<insert guild> is about as useful as a refrigerator in Antarctica", or "<insert player> couldn't win a duel against a XC". Rimshot...
It's not funny.
I guess the thinking must be "maybe people will see this non-funny negative comment about this person and/or guild, and think that since it isn't actually funny, but it's in the 'funny quotes' thread, the humor must lie in the demonstration of some truth or irony, and therefore what is being said or implied about <insert guild> or <insert player> must be true, because otherwise it wouldn't be funny, and then it of course wouldn't be in the funny quotes thread". Brilliant.

I have to agree that the quality of the posts has suffered greatly, and the bashing isn't particularly funny.
I haven't touched it because it mostly is within the meager rules we have here, and at least the lameness is contained to a single thread rather than drooled all over the forums.
If I were to lock it, it would be because the formatting for the page numbers bothers me.

I have already suggested to lock the old one and create a new "Funny Quotes 2011"
with a suggested policy to only post quotes and avoid comments,allowing the quoted participants to post one reply.

Speaking of stupid, The Viper Guild is so stupid it takes them 3 hours to watch 60 minutes!

I've tried a few times, to peruse the Funny Quotes thread and find something funny. It hasn't happened yet....EDIT - Except for the latest post, by ionsbro. That was the first. Heh...nob.
Despite what my occasional drunken 100 ramblings may suggest, most of what is in the Funny Quotes would normally elicit a /leave 100 from me, which I have on a bind.
