I swear people are starting more aiming threads just to be d1cks now. Oh, and the APA threads.
Should there be a new aiming sub forum?
- Thread starter SUPERSTAR
- Start date
I know, Mel. But as you know, folks from all walks of life read and post to these boards. Why, we even have folks from *Texas* posting here!
-Sean <-- hopes to see a zingy New Yawka joke from Mel.

This Texas gal prefers Melinda, not Mel, btw.
I was trying to say I think they are starting new threads on purpose to agitate others.

The aiming threads are like a virus.
A CTE one popped up in snooker and they are proceeding to argue the merits of it over there.
Pretty soon, someone will come with a claim that all the snooker greats, learned CTE a long time ago, when some CTE master taught them.
If we ever discover life on other planets sometime in the future, and they happen to have some billiard type game that they are absolutely amazing at, I'll bet the farm that someone will come with a statement that years ago, they knew of some aiming guru who was abducted by aliens, and how they taught them CTE while on their world, before they were brought back to earth.

Half the front page of the Main Forum was APA-related when I logged in today. :boring:
Like Creedo said, I think this is just a fad. Just like the case battles were and the APA threads are now. It will come and go. If we start a sub forum for every fad topic to come through its going to be more ridiculous then having a few threads about aiming for the time being.
I truly hope so.

Maybe they should just BAN aiming threads altogether.
There will still be flames from people who go into an Aiming Sub Forum and complain about aiming systems threads.
Some people here just can't help themselves.
A regular bunch of shift heads.
Eric >cork soakers too
Bunch of iceholes....farging bastages!
It sure seems like those that claim to dislike reading aiming threads sure know a lot about what goes on in them.

I believe you touched on the distinction.
There are those who would like to read about something that potentially might help their game, and then there are those who just like being informed, to know if they want to try and apply it to their game or not.
What many dislike in the aiming threads are those who blatantly spam, and those who blatantly try and thwart whatever is being said, not just one or two times, but EVERY time.
It's one thing to disagree about something.
It's altogether different to make it you life's mission to knock it at every turn.
Just like for everyone that is out to get JB.
Now there is an example of someone who genuinely wants to discuss aiming without all the garbage that apparently is almost guaranteed to happen in an aiming thread.
He wanted genuine discussion SO much so that he went and made his own group.
He also voted for a sub forum because i suspect, that he also knows that if all the info was in one spot, it would be easier to draw on and consolidate, and the incidents of the flamers and the knockers, would die down.
Disliking an aiming thread is not necessarily about not agreeing with the aiming content, but a lot of times, it's about all the extra stuff that comes with it, and the sheer number of redundant threads that keep popping up WITH all that extra stuff thrown in.
Yep, I don't see much more movement forthcoming. I wonder what the next step is.
(This may have been suggested above.)
What the forums really need is a "hide this thread" feature. That way I could permanently turn off both the Des Moines thread and the "Funny Pictures" thread, neither of which I have any interest in any more. One of them has become very repetitive while the other is redundant.
