So I just got into work an hour ago, and I do most of my foruming from work.  So I missed anything from over the weekend or well, before the last hour. 
 
Are all these damn questions of the hour supposed to be a spoof on Astro's questions of the day? 
 
And if so, really?  Do you really think that filling up the forums with that crap is making a good point?  Or is filling up the forums with crap? 
 
If not... well carry on. 
 
Ugh.  I hate mondays.

I think they're making fun of astrowhatever's threads, but they're not very funny, and it's basically trolling. It's got to stop, these forums have been shitty all week. It's kinda bumming me out, I was trying to use the forums to procrastinate from doing my college homework... but I think the homework sounds like a better time right now.

Forums are being lowered into a river of shit these past few days I've noticed. There's always the ''not so funny'' joke threads, and quite a few inane threads to ignore, but lately it's like we've sprung a leak and they're all just pouring in.

Hey those were pretty damn good questions. Burning questions, even. Questions that demanded answers. 
 
And those answers were always yes.

Yeah. I haven't been on GB as much in the past few days as I maybe normally am, but it does seem kinda shitty recently. It'll clear up; it always seems to eventually.

Yeah, the question of the hour stuff hasn't been good. The Giant Bomb forums over the last couple of days have been a bit of a letdown in general.

I guess I missed them or I just naturally over look them. I haven't noticed. 
I also peruse the forums most while I'm at work (because i work from home).

This man knows.  I was watching Human Centipede yesterday and it makes sense.  
 
Also on topic, we technically do have question of the hour...but they aren't titled.  As a new thread with a new poll is opened up every 15 minutes or so.

@TwoLines: They weren't locked when I had initially posted this.  The heels thread had been posted just a few minutes before I had posted.  Also, I was just trying to figure out wtf was going on.

I'd say that was a decent attempt.  Filling someone's mom with crap would definitely make a point.

The mods seem to be on it. Suspensions and bans will be passed out and people will realize the difference between a moderated forum and an unmoderated one. Thanks mods!

Realistically though, I don't know how you could ban those people, and not astrotriforce.  They are all technically doing the same thing, it's not really fair to judge the reason behind the topics.  I consider astrotriforce's posts spam just as much as all this other garbage.  That being said, these people are still dicks.

I'm just having my own fun with everyone, at least I'm enjoying it and that's all that matters. 
 
Only shitty posts I like on the forums are mine and I admit that most of my posts on these forums are just that. Shitty

@XII_Sniper: When I was unemployed I liked Mondays too.  It meant the kid would be off at school while I had the day to myself.  Ah well. 
 
Also:  I certainly wasn't calling for a ban on anyone, or lockings, or anything.  I didn't even flag any of those threads.  I was just trying to figure out wtf was going on.   
 
But yeah, I really hoped we weren't going to see questions of the hour for the next day.  Especially because it wouldn't be limited to one person posting them.

@Wrighteous86: Well the intent might make a difference, consistent satire that covers the front page of the forums creates an environment that's unwelcoming for another user who isn't technically in violation of any rules. I'm not justifying a ban on them (I really don't like question of the day) I'm just pointing out how they are kinda different.

@Azteck: One thread every day.  He doesn't post these for any reason but "internet fame".  Most of the time, he doesn't even have a post to describe why he's asking the question or his opinion on the matter, you know, like a real topic.  He just wants people on GB to know his name for whatever pathetic reason.  I could ask inane questions every day too, and I'm sure people would start knowing the name Wrighteous86, but I'd rather be unknown and not generally hated than the opposite.

It was some users having a joke. They won't be tolerated in the future.
