It probably should have been closed some time ago, as it was nearly on par with posting games such as Connections. I feel it was fun while it lasted, but allowing it to keep going forever would subtract heavily from the quality of these boards. Its undeniable popularity doesn't erase its truly vacuous nature.

It had 1000 posts of absolutely no content.

If you really think it's necessary to spawn a sequel topic, I'm not going to stop you, but I don't really think that anyone should care that I sacked the original - there was nothing interesting in it, anyway.

A better topic may have been "What Good Music Are You Listening To?" or "What Is Your Favourite Music?" This could have led to some interesting debate. As it was, it was just a glorified list.

Well, that's not entirely true... there were some music discussions, and other random discussions that fit nowhere else... oh well... it certainly wasn't my favorite topic...

Just because interesting discussions occasionally crop up on "Last Post Wins!" topics on GameFAQs doesn't mean that those topics are any good at all.

I liked it. But I won't cry myself to sleep.

Second comings are, of course, always popular. And they almost always come too soon.

What makes it even worse is that what Ironweed said also applies to people. Think about that for a while.

First. Imban is a idiot.
Second. Anything that doesn't have to do with politics, race or religion or Spiderweb games is automatically blocked on General.
Third. For some reason topics about music and movies are not appropiate on General.
Fourth. Topics that leads to flame wars are appropiate on General for some reason.

Fifth. No one cares.

It deserved to be locked. Now I don't have a reason to be in the General Forum. Horah!

Or other games, or news, or roleplaying, or the community...

They get locked once the flaming actually starts, typically.

This topic has reached critical degeneration. It will now spontaneously lock with a small amount of help from my sniper rifle.

—Alorael, who would appreciate an immediate end to hostilities. Locking topics isn't fun.
