My friend, don't take this the wrong way, but you need to be more concise with your thoughts. There are times when I want to read your replies, but the fact that it'll take me a quarter to finish reading it discourages me from starting.

It not like I have not heard that before, which my usual response has been that I write to the extent that I determine necessary to make whatever points that I want to make.  Sure it is possible that I might be able to read through again and make any such post shorter, but I have noticed that my posts tend to get longer rather than shorter when I read through them.

Do what you like with that, including choosing not to read through them.  Of course, you could also choose to skim. From my side, I see no reason really to proclaim that I am going to change in regards to the length of my posts, merely based on the same kind of requests to shorten that I have been frequently hearing for the past 10.5-ish years in this forum... I cannot recall ever going back to shorten or to purposefully attempt to make my posts shorter based on some member request(s).

Which part is spammy?  The pushup script is run daily, guys submit their pushup reports fairly regularly, could be daily, and so you are saying if they don't mention the bitcoin price in each of their posts then they are clogging the bitcoin related channels?  and there is not enough of a connection to BTC and/or to BTC price?
If the board is designated for "speculation about the Bitcoin price" and there is barely any mention of bitcoin price in a thread on this board, then that thread is probably on the wrong board.

If there is a board for "discussion about the Bitcoin Forum" and you start a thread there about bitcoin price and/or fitness, your thread would probably be moved. Not sure why you insist this is different so I'm gonna have to agree to disagree with you on this.

I doubt that I have anything further to say, since it seems to me that I already mostly explained my perspective to my own satisfaction at the moment.

Oh wait.. I just thought that maybe if we might concede the overall framework of the thread is described in terms of pushups and BTC speculation, so there is an overarching theme in which the BTC price motivates the doing of the pushups, yet when we post within the thread, we may well be 80% to 90% talking about various mechanisms of doing pushups, aspects of the pushup table, and even cost and benefits of pushups and other nutrition and health matters, yet the whole conversation is within an understood context that many guys are ONLY doing pushups because they are related to anticipated BTC price dynamics and also based on various cultural relevance in regards, to pushups being done in many bitcoin maximalist circles - and so there are desires to be a part of such phenomena,

and even though sometimes within the thread OgNasty seems to want to try to get credit as if he were the one and ONLY one who thought about doing pushups as a way of respecting the bitcoin price and attempting to push the BTC price up to $100k while at the same time creating additional benefits to the pushers, or that he is causing other forum members to become more healthy because he saved them due to his creation of the pushup thread, yet in the end, OgNasty was choosing to do pushups and to promote such pushups because 100 pushups per day to $100k were already being discussed in quite few bitcoin maximalist circles and not just because Satoshi told us to do pushups back in the day.. hahahahahahaha.. you fucktwats cannot even figure out a pretty obvious joke.. yeah we are engaged in pushups because Satoshi told us to do them in 2009.. and gosh I wonder how many forum members actually believe that Satoshi wrote that back in early to mid-2009... otherwise pushups are serious and also they are serious kind of proof of work attempting to connect the real world with bitcoin price aspirations.. whether through hope for $100k to come sooner rather than later or to potentially contribute towards upwards pressures on BTC prices to have greater odds of going up to $100k more surely and/or more quickly.

Using the thread title or some subliminal message sounds quite bad as an excuse even on this shithole of a spamforum.
You are pretty negative.  Maybe you should do some pushups, cheer yourself up, potentially contribute towards your thinking about bitcoin reaching $100k instead of dumb ideas about whether some members might be getting more merits than they deserve and considerations like that?
I don't think I said anything about merits.

I thought that merits and signature campaigns were part of the motive to have topics falling into an appropriate category.. .so even if you might have been saying that you are concerned about topicality, there are plenty of other thoughts about merits and signatures and even about OgNasty.. to the extent that he is even very relevant.. but yeah stating disparate treatment based on all the status that OgNasty supposedly has, and I personally am not even against the idea of sometimes longer term forum members not being scrutinized as closely as a newbie member.. yet I am having doubts that OgNasty was even getting special treatment in this case since even if most of our discussion has been about doing pushups, there still remains an actual connection to both bitcoin and to bitcoin price speculation rather than just being symbolic and disingenuous as several of you seem to be implying and perhaps suggesting that you are only getting concerned because the thread happens to currently be 179 pages long...

Oh and a thread is not a spam thread merely because it is long.  There is substance in that thread if you might not be just superficially looking at it, coming to conclusions about it not being sufficiently on topic and also categorically proclaiming the thread and even the forum to be spam infested.. That is coming from your negative nancy posture and not from this here cat.. even if you have not spoken about those other rationales to hate on the pushups and bitcoin to $100k thread..

I already did 3 pushups, that's my monthly quota, can't get too cheery.

Well that's a good start and better than nothing.  I was not used to doing pushups either prior to getting involved in the thread, even though I am thinking that I did some pushups right before the pushup thread since there were a few posts in the WO thread prior to OgNasty creating the pushups thread.  I am thinking that I might not have had really done pushups for more than 10 years prior to getting involved in the thread, yet another thing is that the pushups became way more than just something to do here or there, but instead daily, even though even I am not sure if I can keep; doing them once the BTFC price reaches or exceeds $100k which seems to be a question in the heads of several guys doing pushups in terms of whether they are going to be able to continue.. They are not fun to do .. but they are connected to bitcoin, connected to the price and connected to a kind of culture and phenomena (and perhaps bags) that we would like to pump along the side of our doing pushups every single day.  Even if you might be a girl.. you can do pushups.. and more than 3 per month - perhaps try to do 3 sets per day and 3-4 pushups per set at least and work your way up to more... .. it is not easy. .but it is part of being a bitcoiner.  .. even satoshi said to do pushups more than 15 years ago.. as far as the evidence that we currently know about various things that satoshi said..

I have not looked at Don Pedro's new trolling (and/or attention seeking) thread
[...]Don Pedro's thread seems problematic
And here we go. This is why we can't have nice things.

There is always going to be some differences of opinion and even some members wanting to take matters to higher and higher levels, and I am not necessarily exempt from those kinds of devolutions in topics or even difference of opinion regarding which things are "nice things." 

Your own perspective about wanting to get rid of the WO thread seems that you may also be losing touch of various aspects of the forum, including that the WO thread is amongst the most special of forum threads in terms of it is like the forum's troll box.. remember BTCE and some other exchanges had troll boxes, while the WO thread has come into that role. .probably since the beginning, yet more of an acknowledgement of the WO serving such role in around early 2017 when it got moved over to its current owner....and there is nothing wrong with that thread, even though you and some of the other whiners (maybe whining for variations of differing reasons) are negative on that thread too.
