The Off-topic Thread
<div class="IPBDescription">It's not spam, honest</div> Ok, this is something i've seen done on several other boards (ok, one if i'm blatantly obvious), and in the spirit of nicking other people's ideas and calling them my own, I have decided to shamelessly export it to this forum.
<b>The off-topic post</b>
The rules are as follows:
-You must post something random. It must have as little to do with the last person's post as possible. It can be a fact, web page, flash animation or joke, but try to keep it at least mildly interesting so that people will actually READ it.
-You may make comments on other people's posts in italics <i>(like this)</i> underneath your post
-You may not post a comment without adding your own bit of miscellania to the pile
-Images are allowed, but try to keep it clean (or answer to the mighty admins)
-Don't link to predictable things, i.e, Newgrounds.com or anything that is "popular"
-Try to make it funny or at least interesting. I know I said that already but it's my post so i'm allowed to repeat myself to make a point
Ok, i'll get you started:
"More money is printed daily for the Monopoly game than by the U.S. Treasury."
<i>O.k, that was a bad example of what to post. I'm sure you people can come up with better, so go ahead</i>

haha, way to rip off the WORST BAND EVER.
Look, you're not supposed to post just the first thing that comes into your head, try to post something from the internet, not something you just made up. A quote, a joke, a picture, SOMETHING. I don't know how this worked on another board and not this one, I thought we had a semi-intelligent community here.....
O.k, here's a better example.

And I take it that's exactly why showing us the randomness of the rest of the world doesn't work <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Sorry to say this guys, but yes, it's lockage time. This is basically the same principle as the never-ending story, only with an inherent purpose of having less continuity (and you thought it just wasn't possible!)
