I did a quick review of your posts in this thread, and I could not find the specific reference that was in my head, so it could be possible that I read too much into your seeming maniacal pursuit for topicality and your seeming negativism in regards to calling the forum a spamforum, and perhaps I also mixed some of your sentiment up with the sentiment of other members who seem to be on the same side as you in terms of pursuing the idea of absolute categories of off-topicness in regards to the pushups thread, as if the thread being allowed to stay within bitcoin areas of the forum after already achieving 179 pages were even close to being as important of a violation of "categories" as it is being made out to be.
"Maniacal"? LOL
I am glad that you got pleasures out of my word choice.
You're the one posting massive walls of text in pursuit of...
O.k.. So you are suggesting that the posting of "walls of text" that have been assessed by you to be "massive" is a sign of a member being maniacal so that you would not be maniacal, yet I would be?
Sure.. fine.. whatever.
I am starting to recognize/appreciate your humor.
My suggestion that you were being maniacal relates to your seeming desire to argue that the pushups thread is not appropriate in the bitcoin speculation's category, and to proclaim as if such conclusion were "obvious."
something, even though nothing would really change for anyone in that thread if it was on the correct board.
It is possible that members (including myself) might continue to participate in the thread, even if it were moved to off-topic, yet I doubt that I would have participated in such thread in the first place if it had not been connected with bitcoin and bitcoin speculation.
Other than perhaps some users not getting paid for signatures.
You said that you were not worried about merits, yet now you seem that you are concerned about some members undeservedly getting paid for signatures.
I thought that some signature campaigns could choose to not pay their participants if they are posting in non-substantive and/or spammy ways?
You already did suggest that the forum is spam laden, so then you are also trying to proclaim that the pushup thread is spam-laden too?
You largely already admitted that you barely read the thread, except perhaps recently you read a few of the recently past pages.
When you had your bot read the pushups thread for you, did you bot conclude that the pushups thread is heavily laden by spam posts? What kind of numbers did it give you? Perhaps greater than 10% of the posts are spam-related or some other quantity? What would make a forum or a thread "spam laden?"
#asking for a friendAs for negativism towards the forum, I dare you to read the flagship board of this forum - Bitcoin Discussion - and report back with your findings.
You are giving me homework. At this moment, I have enough things on my plate. Perhaps you might have some highlights that you would like me to read or a link? How much homework would you like me to perform in order to better "inform myself" about what is going around here in relation to my assertions of your "negative Nancy-ism."
If you read 100 most recent threads there top to bottom and still think this is not a shithole of a spamforum, I'll concede that it is the forum that we deserve and will refrain from calling it a shithole until next time.
I have read quite a few forum threads through the years. Why can't we just stick with my already achieved work product rather than giving me more assignments? Do you have any particular thread(s) that you would like to point out to me? It seems that I already got the general tenor of this place after nearly 11 years being around here.. (similar to you).
Have you ever considered that people will see the world differently based on a variety of experiential factors? and maybe even genetic factors? (nature versus nurture questions)..
Even if we read the same threads, we might not come to the same conclusions. Anyhow, I think we are getting a bit astray in your wanting to argue for some kind of reconsideration of how threads are classified and/or perhaps if threads might need to move in order to help to make this place better, if that is what you might be attempting to suggest as your goal in regards to the current placement of the pushups thread.
You can spin matters all that you like. This forum's pushup thread is not just about pushups. It is about pushups, BTC and the price... Yeah, we focus on pushups in that thread, yet the activity is still within the context of bitcoin and even seems to be related to proof of work.. even though no one is going to know if we actually did the work beyond ourselves.. the ones claiming to do the daily-ish pushups.
Interesting juxtaposition of ideas, and sure you can disagree all that you like, yet if you claim (spin) the matter as if it is ONLY about pushups and has nothing to do with the BTC price, then you are most-likely engaged in fantasy rather than really dealing with facts on the ground that inspire men (and perhaps a woman/girl or two) to attempt to feel what it is like to do some pushups ever day or somewhere there abouts
Yeah , the thread is not just about pushups alone , is also all about bitcoin and bitcoin price speculation. And so far I believe that the thread has been helpful to most folks at there that are literally doing the pushups, because have also seen the nice effect of the pushups in me , ( due to it I was able to bounce to back to my daily exercises). And we all are aware that exercise is good to the human health and pushups is one of those exercises.
Though some folks may not be able to do 100 pushups daily , still doesn't stop them from participating in the thread, because according to what have seen so far in the thread, no one is being pushed or force to do the pushups, and anyone can do any number of pushups of their choice , without getting themselves hurt . And is also a form of one to express his excitement of bitcoin growth.
It seems to me that many of us active thread participants might not even realize the extent to which we may or may not have had participated in the pushups thread if the thread had not retained some kind of a connection to bitcoin and/or speculation about bitcoin going to $100k in some kind of a soon-ish timeline. I am pretty sure that I would not have participated in that thread if it had not been connected with bitcoin and/or bitcoin price speculation.
