Some people try to have intelligent discussions, and about three people post.

And then there are about a million threads about what guns you want in MW2.

Everyone has a different definition for what they think is dumb.

That would depend on what you consider an intelligent thread. Someone could have a brilliant point but if it's a wall of text they shouldn't have even bothered. Nobody wants to jump through hoops just to make sense out of something.

All of those points are true, but cant we all agree that there are a lot of rather "stupid" threads.

You come here to discuss what it's like to be on a boat.

I guess what I am saying is I try to discuss what are some very good games, like water shed games. I get about ten posts.

Meanwhile there are ten threads about which is better COD4, or Halo 3.

People can't come up with a funny or clever reponse in the topic so they don't post at all.

It is easier to reply in the "dumbest topics". People on OT want to increase their post count.

It's probably because intelligent topics aren't that fun.

I personally think this topic is dumb ... I have to disagree with you anyway, the reason 'intelligent threads' don't stay around for long, is because people have probably already answered the same sort of thing recently.

I don't know what will be considered as a dumb topic, but I wish more people will just make their own topics instead of complaining about the ones others try to make. At least they are trying. Maybe the intelligent topics to you or someone else might not be interesting to others.

When you're talking with mates, do you have a better time talking about simple, funny things, or ridiculously in depth ones? Cos I have never sat with a pint and cigarette with a few friends and discussed the inner workings of Shakespearean prose.
