It is pretty blatant that you guys just do shit like that now to annoy me. So thanks, I appreciate it.
Of course they do! The more you try to get them to stop, and tell them how immature they are, and how they're derailing the thread, the more gifs they'll post, simply because they know you'll get angrier and make more angry posts telling them to stop.
I'm not going to deny this. However, I certainly don't see anything wrong with posting pictures and gifs of old school video games. The OP doesn't say anything about not doing it, nor does it really go against the spirit of the thread as far as I can tell.
No, the OP doesn't say anything about not doing it. So, I guess you have to ask yourself: Why am I posting pictures and gifs of old school games?
I suspect two reason,
1). You're bored and have absolutely nothing better to do (pretty obvious assumption to make).
2). Now that I have spoken up about this a few months ago and you know blatant pointless derailments bug me, you get thrills from pushing my button (which you just admitted to in the above quote).
Either way, it isn't because you care about the conversation or have anything to contribute, you just do it for the hell of it. You don't want to discuss those old games, you probably have never even played most of them. I really don't even mind the old games pictures. They are absolutely pointless and a waste of time to look at, but so are a lot of things in off topic. But you guys feed off each other in a really weird way.
One of you will post a pointless pic, then you will all join in on a massive attempt at derailment, posting a series of random pictures usually carrying things on to the next page. It is really lame and childish, and makes it hard for me to maintain the slightest amount of respect for the participants who are doing what I see as the forum equivalent of someone being obnoxious in a movie theater, just because they know it will piss off their fellow movies goers, and they know they can get away with it.
I guess I should try to sympathize with you though. Your pointless SOS threads seem to have lost their thunder after all this time, guess most people can only be entertained by that kind of tripe for so long, so it is not surprising you have to look to whatever threads you can to keep that itchy post finger of yours busy.
