Messing up threads

I wasn't going to name names myself, but the children tag is relative I guess. To older members you are, or behave like children sometimes, maybe! As I said though, all this is fine in its place, but some younger members are starting to say "New Page" on every thread!!!!

sorry for names Someone will always say "new page", young or old. I know some much older members who do it. Velvy, for iexample, started the tradition, he's no child

You may be right Peter, sometimes the Mariah Carrey thread seems like nothing more than a chatroom!

Leave 'em to it, I reckon.

But this is why I'm so annoyed that its crossing over into serious threads!

I agree with you Snowy. Its ok to do this in the mariah thread, and I'been known to do that myself but normal threads should be kept chean and on topic

As I recall there hav been some keyboard threads allready in the history of progarchives... And btw, the thread was about 2 die, becouse all the interested people allready posted in it.. Ow, And aren't polls used to vote in them, and not 2 write "Jordan Rudess is the best!" all the time? You ca still vote in the poll, and see the votes, so its as a healthy poll as can be! And Damien, You helped 2 ruin the thread Yourself. I have evidence

I know that many may say that its a pot calling the kettle black, but this thread, to me, is going too far! I like a bit of fun, byt this thread has been ruined!

Its like when the teacher leaves the room..
