I know upfront that I am going to get a lot of negative feedback for this post, but here it goes anyways. Is it not about time to put to bed the posts, "three word sentences" and "the thread about nothing" and move on to posts that actually are relevant to real life issues?

Sure.. Maybe we should just eliminate the "Just For Fun" forum altogether. While we're at it let's delete the Sports, Movies, Music, Books, Television and any other forum you don't like. Or..... You can just skip over the posts you're not interested in.

No, those are actually real life issues.

Sorry you're so against people having a little fun.

The best part of this site, and almost all similar bulletin board sites for that matter, is no one has to pay...or is being forced to read them.

If they bug you, why do you bother to read "three word sentences" and "the thread about nothing"?
I respectfully suggest that you just move on.

You could do what I do ............... skim through the posts every morning, skip over the titles and even the posters that do not interest me and find ones that do. Nothing in this world is ever going to be exactly what you want unless you control it.

Well, so far the general opinion seems to be>

"No way Jose"

...and...

"3 minus 3 equals..."

My opinion> leave well enough alone for the majority as long as it's popular and doing no harm. Actually personally I've checked out 3-word only a few times - same for "nothing'. So, it appears my post is more than 3 words and about a little something.

But I do understand your OP post and opinion...

Three Word Sentences are quite fun. Nothing has a good virtual friend of mine on it, so I contribute once in a while.

The op is just stirring the pot. I think we need a couple of more running threads that bring people together and not so serious.

I would like to see a new one that is along the lines of the old Reader's Digest [column?]. The title/theme was called"It happens". Readers would send in funny stories about their kids, spouses and past. Maybe someone could help me?

And if I told a story about a pet duck I had and some one said that reminds me of my aunt Ethel and her washing machine I couldn't care less which way the story line went.

I'm brainstorming. Maybe the only rule would be that it be a story we might enjoy, something lighthearted or warming.

Just don’t ban Poop and developer bashing. The forum would go belly up.
