Yet you are happy enough to sit, read through and respond to threads!
It really surprises me how many people are willing to post "this thread is crap" etc. If you think its crap, if you think war threads before the war starts are a waste of time, its quite simple not to click on the thread, read through it and respond!
(actually i am lying, it doesnt surprise me. I fully expect people to moan like this)
Instead of trolling one another and smack talking why don't you just wait till the actual war kicks off, then we'll see who the real big players are! [:sick:]
to kick-rock's defense, nothing in the title says 'pre-war thread' so you kinda have to open it and start reading to even know it's a way too early waste of thread reading space. if I clicked a war thread that wasn't a war thread, why wouldn't I post? It's not like I don't want to read the war thread, but a week of advanced posturing might not be interesting to me. And then when the war starts I have to remember I have to start on page 11 to see when the war starts. I personally hate that part of it. I almost started a new 420 war thread separate from the event recruitment thread just so I didn't have to deal with finding where war banter started, but I figured 2 threads would look obnoxious so just changed the title.
maybe a topic like 'warming up for the war' or '7 days and counting' would be more appropriate if we really felt we needed 7 days of pre-talk, so those who don't like it could avoid it. or even a date of the war in the topic so we knew it wasn't live but knew when to start watching the fun stuff.
I hear it will only last a few hours as Ali has to run off to buy a one-direction single or something, and they SA are planning on having a group listening of it in their groupie room.
