 		There's new threads made specifically for each entry.
There is a wiki.
There's a thread dedicated to all current knowledge on the subject.

The main trailhead thread has it's bouts of stupidity and uselessness, but, that's because there are so many other threads for detailed information.

The way I personally see it, that thread is basically a general chatter box. It doesn't stick to one topic most of the time, it's loaded with jokes, unrelated stories and info, aim-name whoring, ect just as much as actual information. Not saying it was right for it to become what it is now, but, shit, really. Crying about it with a useless post is just as bad.

Does NOTHING to help the thread. NOTHING AT ALL. Making it JUST AS BAD as all the spam. As does commentating on it. So, just as you said,

Nobody gives a sh*t. Go cry somewhere else.

I get it, there are a lot of meme-happy folks here. Just remember you're visitors in a forum dedicated to the analysis of ARGs - it's not the other way around.

MarbleHornets is a slow mover, and most of us have taken that as a cue to use the unfiction forum for the off-topic rather than analysis. Makes sense I guess - there isn't really a lot to analyze in this game. We've got quite a few unanswered questions, but only new footage will lead to the answers. What else can we do in these forums besides hang out? Fine, except there are still those who come here looking for ARG analysis. We aren't really using the 300+ page trailhead to uncover mysteries anymore. Why get mad at someone for pointing that out?

Memes and 'shops are fun, but they're increasing the gaps between helpful posts. Dozens of pages are generated every day - most of which are off-topic fluff. Again, if you're enjoying it then the fluff isn't a bad thing...for you. Don't forget there are other people in this forum. Some of those people are actually interested in those on-topic posts. The off-topic chat makes it hard to find the content, and that can get frustrating.

If you're into the memes and the chatting, don't get offended when someone points out you're misusing the forums. You are misusing the forums. I understand why, but it doesn't make it less true. While you're here, try to respect the unfiction rules. If you're not comfortable with those rules, you could create your own forum on a different site. Good luck.


Thank you.

Learn to read. I'm not misquoting you at all.

The whole reason I didn't do a full quote on your post was to quote the first person's bitching and address it first. The next part was using words you said to reinforce my point, applying it to what I said about his post, AND yours.
As in - I understand your point, but it doesn't make the original point any less true.
If you're going to call someone out, pay attention to context or don't say shit.

Don't need to if you follow some context clues and actually READ.
Get back to Neopets, kid.

If you read what was said, you know what you said, and you read what I said, it makes total sense. Unless you're in middleschool, or don't have a grasp on the English Language, then you have NO EXCUSE to not know.

All I said was this is why I rarely come here anymore...

You went on to put other words in my mouth that not only I didn't say, but nobody else did either.

You flaming me just proves you are what you claim me to be.

That nobody else did either? So, morscata12 didn't say this on the last page back?

THEY are who I was calling out the second round. The whole +10 was agreeing with someone else that you need to quit crying. Yeah, I know it's not contributing anything to the actual topic, but I'm not sitting here bitching about it being off topic.

Again, context clues or shut the hell up, kid.

 		Both of you shut up. Omega has a point - he doesn't like all the spam, so he doesn't feel comfortable in the forum. Telos has a point, the forums are getting cluttered.

So let's just pry the sticks out of our asses now before this devolves in a big fat "no u" contest.

To the topic at hand, urrrrg I'm guessing this belongs in the images thread. As for the topic of OMFG WHY ALL DE SPAMZ, it would be nice if people would kindly read the rules stickied at the top of the forum.

 		Hi folks,

My suggestion is that the "fluff" be labeled OT (off topic) and put in its own thread. That way folks who want to follow the game-specific stuff can avoid the OT labels, and those of you who enjoy it can find them. I've labeled this thread OT for a start.

Surely this will be a way for both styles of play to exist in the same subforum?

 		I'm sure this is a stupid question, but what do the 20 dollars, Club, and Wifin', etc. memes mean and what do they have to do with marble hornets?
