Post; "The threads that didn't want to die..." :)


Welcome to Milforum's "perpetuum mobile" ("perpetual motion" in Latin.. ) forum..

By looking at the threads already in here you should get a pretty good picture of what kind of threads this section of the forum is meant for...

We've started to move a few of the "neverending stories", and a few more may be moved soon as well.
It's only 10 threads in here right now, but almost 7,000 posts, and some of the threads are over 100 pages long...

Please send PM us, or use the report button if you find any other threads that you think we should move over here as well.

Enjoy..

All good choices. These are useless threads people use (in my opinion) only to get numbers of posts up and more milbucks. Here is another candidate: http://www.military-quotes.com/forum...ic.php?t=14533

P.S. And I am one of the guilty parties.

Me too (sometimes)
But I don't think that these kind of threads belong in the Chit Chat forum, they just "mess it up" too much...

This was a good idea. Even though most everyone said they don't post for milbucks, I bet a few of em do. Good idea.

IMO the "what are you listening to' and "what time is it" shouldn't be here as they are actually informative and interesting, whereas the others just seem to be blatant post count increasers

Wait, wait, wait... So you don't get Milbucks for posting on these ones now? That's cool, but they were my favorite threads. What if no one responds to them anymore?! That will make me sad... especially since one that *I* made was in there!

Redleg, please reconsider...

HEY! I want to do that! But I thought you get in trouble for doing multiple posts, just for the sake of milbucks...
