I have noticed lately a lot of threads have either too simplistic, or have misleading thread titles.

Can we start to make an effort to accurately title the threads.

It would make it much easier for those of us who can't spend all day here, have workplace internet restrictions, or would like to avoid political threads (a little goes a long way). I suspect it might help the moderators here (correct me if I am wrong)

If your thread is political in nature can you tag the title with: (Political)

Anything not work appropriate tag:
(NSFW)


Thank you for your cooperation.

No that got pushed back. The engineers couldn't successfully contain the anti matter and the dilithium crystals keep cracking...

I think you have confused thread titles with cash and free motorcycles. Please correct me if I AM WRONG.

I hate the "Check this out!" titles that leave you wondering, until you've opened it, if it's a photo of a fat guy with 5 nipples or a new aftermarket exhaust that can increase power 30%.

I guess the idea is that it will get people to click, but it has the opposite effect on me. I figure if its really something worth seeing the author will give us an idea of what we're clicking on.

And I probably miss out on some cool things because of that.

After the warp drive is figured out, will we go to plaid speed?

so just to be clear, you want a clear and precise title, but yet you start this thread with a generic title. wtf?

titles for threads are about attention getting. just like the news. if i make a title very precise then you wouldn't need to read it, since everything would be in the title.

i mean really, when i see a title that starts with, "OMG, you have to see this" i'll open it, be like, yep seen it before, then close the thread. so i wasted about 15 seconds. more important things in life to get spun up over.

so, from now on titles clear, threads vague...GOT IT!!!

DD: bout spewed my coffee on that one.

Monkey: I see your point, but hey, it's the Quickboard. I got going on the "Barber" thread, thought it was about the museum/track when it wasn't, then I just decided to hijack it for fun. Everyone gets a yukety yuk.

You title your threads, I'll title mine.


P.S. For the record, mine usually do have something to do with the content! lol

Dude, I was good with it until they started repeating the pictures. There is just no need in wasting time on pictures that you have already seen.
