I mean the music thread in its current state is kinda bad, but it could be saved. Make it about computer-based music production instead with a healthy dose of Amiga demoscene videos.

2 reasons:

-new people come into YOSPOS and see threads with 999999999 posts. "erm... yea, never gonna catch up on this" and leave. source: this happens to ME when i goto games, mmohmo, cd, etc. and im a veteran forums poster.
-its my mandate from sa management

so the fitness thread would be people disguising gainsposting as bug reports and feedback? lol

plus idk what fit people do or what a fit app does; only thing i've seen like that is gps for runners too 36 to buy a garmin and it probably needs to be a native app because while the html5 location api is p. good you need an app running as a service because the browser will go to sleep and stop recording. tho i guess you could tell it to leave the screen on b/c yosposters are fat and tire easily so it's not like battery life would be an issue :smugmrgw:

fwiw, I feel like general-purpose megathreads also tend to degenerate into weird cliquey bullshit as they run out of actual new content to post, which is unfunny & depressing

more focused threads have a higher chance of being actually funny/interesting (and if one sucks, it usually dies pretty fast, so who cares)

just my 2 cents :mrgw:

doesnt need to be anything fancy. just like a spreadhseet frontend where the columns are labeled "SICK GAINS" and u upload ur SA av. dont need a gps or anything. just user inputs things, it tracks it. maybe ranks people based on their gains or whatever. ide settle for a cool looking gogle form that dumps into a read-only spredsheet with a hummourous format.

thanks for your input.

smythe please roll me a prime number

agreed with a caveat: i think some degree of cliquey bullshit is good. a powerful clique can run off bad posters as long as they get eachother back. 1 of my problems with YOSPOS is that posters don't get eachothers back. if someone flames one of my forum allies im going to call them a fag. if one of my forum alies flames someone i'll emptyquote them. thje little faggots in YOSPOS never had friends in real life so they dont understand this behaviour. they start sniping at eachother trying to look cool in front of an outsider. its loving pathetic. it makes me sick.
