The Thread Wherein We Vote To Get Rid of Off-Topic

Author
Time

Inspired by this post.

So, there's a certain small faction of people who would like to see the dirty nasty troll-fueled OFF-MOTHERFUCKING-TOPIC section removed from this wonderful Star Wars message board.

WE NEED TO VOTE! THREAD VOTING IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS MESSED UP WORLD.

Vote on the following three options:

1) Kill it with fire. Lock up Off-Topic in the Phantom Zone.

2) Do nothing and STFU.

3) Delete the rest of OT.com and keep only Off-Topic.

123GO!

I vote for option 2.

*sigh* 

I DON'T WANT IT REMOVED!  I just thought it might be a good idea to if this section was in a separate forum of its own.  Lets keep the discussion in the other thread.

Warbler, why do you do this to yourself?  This is obviously a thread mocking you.  Can't you just ignore it?  You don't need to go into every thread.  :/

That's why I have little sympathy for you.  I don't dislike you, but your actions confuse me.  You should just let some things go.  You'd be happier and not fretting over one small, niche Moronathon of a forum on the internet.

its ok, I am not that upset over the the existence of this thread.  I just wanted to make it clear that I do not want the off topic section deleted.

and as Frink said, this may be a mornathon, but its our moronathon.

I'm leaning towards #3, just to make everyone post their Star Wars thoughts here where I can be more insulting towards the thoughts that deserve mocking.

I'd vote number 3, but I'd actually hate it if that happened. I'm interested in the fan-editing and script-writing side of things (though less interested than most on this site), and those just wouldn't work very well in Off Topic.

On the other hand, just think of all the extra threads there would be to derail and have fun in.

Never mind, I vote for #3.

QUERY:

If I vote for #2, who exactly has to STFU?  'Cause I don't want to do that.

Yes, if you vote 2 and don't STFU you will be given one inFrinktion. 5 inFrinktions will result in a temp band.

Not an option. 1 inFrinktion.

So far 3 votes for Option 2, 1 solid vote for Option 3 and a handful of wishy-washy non-votes.

Oooh!  I've always wanted a temp band.  They're easy to get rid of when they demand too much money or inclusion in the band name.

Why take a vote if none of the options are decent in any way? Unless I can take a fourth option, I abstain from voting.

 I guess you've never voted in a political election.

To be fair to Warbler, he does not get jokes. He will tell you. I don't think the thread is meant to be mocking of Warbler; it's playing off of statements made in his thread, specifically made by Frink. It may also be teasing ender's thread.

I vote to create a new section where we confine all the trolls and periodically purge them.

Yeah, if anything, I'm probably the one who is a bit guilty of mocking Warb by telling him not to make this thread in the first place.  I was kind of kidding, but let's face it, Warb does like to make "let's vote on X" threads.

But it was a gentle mocking, done out of love.

This thread was intended to mock all the threads.
