What are some things that bug you? For me, that would be seeing a user quoting himself in his signature. It's okay if you're quoting some other user or something, but quoting yourself just seems unfunny.

Over controlling moderation. Lack of topic variety and bright and flashy sigs. Lol :P

It doesn't get me boiling, but I keep seeing those "Is your GameSpot light or dark?" and I just sigh. Unless Ice makes a comeback, dark will always win, and overwhelmingly so.

People who post pointless things.

"Are you excited for the new Call of Duty map pack?"

"Oh I don't play Call of Duty"

Why post? That's just an example.

But what if that's all the thread requires. Example, Thread Title: Pie Vs Cake who wins? response = Pie.

Uninteresting topics created for the sake of it rather than because there was actually something good to create a topic about, quoting and saying "This," and the expert at everything atittude, despite not having any real experience or knowledge of the subject.

flirting and sexual innuendos -- forums aren't the place for that kind of behavior, at least ones that aren't dedicated to swinging life styles. some people here haven't gotten the memo.

Has become over done here. Also users who answer the same question more than once if they don't get attention the first time....

Users insulting other (mostly clueless and innocent) users, neither of which being me I might add, in order to glean lulz and 'respect' from some other entirely unrelated users.

Seriously I know it's supposed to be all cute and all but it's also a prime example of being an absolute brown-nosing loser.

Can't have an independent thought or say anything interesting unless it's to contribute to a circle jerk? F*** right off then.

What if someone said "I think pie would win." Check and mate.

Also, I don't like debates that dissolve into elementary semantics arguments entirely unrelated to the original topic of the thread and continue on for 15 pages.

I can't stand seeing the same discussions everywhere... mostly about CoD or BF3.... andI hate people that answer that really have no weight backing a specific question.... just answering to be a d**k. Really grinds my gears...

Then maybe drinking doesnt really help enjoy the forums idk...

I only posted one day after a couple drinks and I was like "ALALALALALA Life is wonderful... ALALALA...." etc LOL

Although I was enjoying myself in general I couldnt understand some posts no matter how hard I read them. :P But at least that didnt bother me much.
