Agreed Pinky, it annoys me too, very good point and another good reason for more mods to merge.

I wouldn't dream of saying 'hi' as a thread, or 'bye' for that matter either. I'd keep on going back to it to see if people had replied, and if they didn't I might have to commit cyber-suicide! :D

PS - HI!:D

:wah: It is annoying though ain't it when they is no subject in the title.

The worst I see on forums is just simply, 'bored' or 'I'm bored'. BorING more like. :D

I've looked at threads before that didn't really have topics and thought about merging them but then how do you decide what to merge them with since they have no topic?

Then the original threads disappear and 9 times out of 10 the person who posted the thread will go on a rant about being deleted then it takes another whole thread just to explain where the thread is and there is still general unrest. Just speaking from the past here.

Also, when posts are moved to a separate thread because they go off topic, 9.9 times out of 10 the people complain because it looks like they started a thread when they didn't.

Basically, if a mod wants to take a mod action they need to have 24 hours available to deal with all the backlash. So, perhaps I'll go on a thread merging rampage, but not until I have a week to maintain a "we hate you koan" thread and not until I have full agreement from at least two other mods as to what threads will be 'victimised'

I would be happy to do it. I didn't mean move posts, I agree that it wouldn't work and it would also mess up the threads. I meant whole threads. There are so many in say General that should be in others like one I just replied to that should be in Television, not General. Please met me move, on my hands and knees here and doing lots of kissing. I hate feet too! :p
