Irrelevant content

I find myself reading less and less threads on this forum because so many replies steer away from constructive comments in favour of short aminated clips or meaningless pictures of unrelated content. By all means upload an animated sequence if it’s something new, but not if it’s already been posted a thousand times before.

And yes, I know this post will most likely prompt more of the posts which I’m disliking, but that just goes to prove my point.
The trouble is there's nothing else to discuss after 7 years.
Every decent discussion is argued and counter argued by page 2 of the thread and the threads for the big subjects (game modes, ship loadout etc) were dealt with years ago.
The only thing worth discussing on an open forum are news items, game updates and CG's and they've all got their own areas. Stuff like powerplay and faction / bgs manipulation tend to be done on discord etc. as they need to be secret.

What you're describing is banter between players. It's easy to take this game and stuff like open vs solo etc too seriously and be nasty in the forum and online, and a bit of banter reminds us all that we're talking to real people. We can disagree about some things but still enjoy each others company.
 
Those that are commenting may be using humor/satire/sarcasm to get through these times, holding out for improvements.
That is deep & meaningful, I'll have to contemplate the overarching implications of such a bold statement...

No, I'm not, dunno about anyone else though. For me 2 of 3 are everyday stock-in-trade for both t'internet and RL, chuckling all o f the way!

I find this post totally irrelevant to Elite Dangerous. ;)
 
Indeed. Let me, for once, stay on topic. I have a dying theoretical question, mr Hat. In the hypothetical case I would want to give you stuff. How would we make that a possibility?

Excuse me: stuph... My bad.

I appreciate your question young man, I really do, but there are two problems in need of addressing before I could begin to explain this process to someone who is not actually rage quitting in a tsunami of pram toys.

Firstly, you are a lovely chap, and it tests me up to have to raise this. But I have heard rumours amongst the underbelly of the interwebz, that some scullduggerers are looking to set up rival stuphz buzinezzes. Ergo, I can't answer this with a clear conscience of my legacy, until I see evidence of your raging pram toys.

Secondly, and this tipped me to the prior consideration. You have misspelled stuphz twice in your post, and this makes me very uncomfortable to your motives.

So, it's with regret that I have to delay the explanation of stuphz donation, until both of these issues are addressed and corrected. But you are a lovely fellow, so I am sorry for my corporate stance - I hope you can understand.

You don't, it's just a way to discourage frustrated players from returning.

It's more a way for me to increase my personal collection of stuphz to be honest.

Once I haz stuphz, I duzzent carez wot thay duz, because dear friend, I haz their stuphz.

This is the business model of any successful stuphz collector, but thank you for showing an interest in advance of our future buzinezzes dealz ;)
 
Let me offer you some comfort OP.

The number of posts on the forum has vastly decreased over the last month.

Visit the Forum steadily for a week, selecting the "new posts" tab. You will find that those specific to ED (Horizons or Odyssey) are minimal, and are either Bottom Hat claiming stuffz, white knights talking about how awesome Odyssey is, haters talking about how Odyssey is garbage (ignored that this was a game about flying spaceships, is broken and a ripoff), the occasional can't we all be PVP Open please?, or something about how the BGS is broken.

Where new posts specific to ED on a daily basis would easily span 7 - 10 pages over the last several years, we are down to about 3. The remaining posts are specific to other FDEV products.

You forgot to mention those about ship interiors, Armstrong moment, base building etc..

You're really trying to take this personally aren't you? I thought you were a pretty easy going guy/girl.

Not at all dude, I was doing a straight guy reply, to try and be different! I didn't realize it would come across as grumpy lol!

And for avoidance of doubt on other issues, I am very easy, oh yes mummy!

Both probably... just depends on which day of the week / weekend you catch them 🤷‍♂️

But, I'd suggest "easy" in whichever mode they are operating...

Oh my!

I've noticed a trend toward it and have participated as well. I think it is partly due to the rehashing of old opinions and outlooks. But then of course, it gets a bit old sometimes as well.

Half the time it seems to be just in good fun. The other half, in spite. Oh well. It's the way of things.

as you can see mr. @OP talking about irrelevant nonsense is a popular topic on this forum. Page 3 and counting....
for future notice, if you need community attention you may want to put one of this words in your threads topic "stupid", "irrelevant", "nonsense", "wondering" also "free stupz" will draw some member(s) attention.

Everytime someone takes most stuff I post seriously, the first thing I think is 'why on earth did you do that? I sure as hell didn't.'

Or 'open letter' which is tantamount to just writing 'please treat me like the imbecile that I am.'
