Maybe you guys ought to create a thread(I think thats the word) for things that just have no reason, such as the topic I created in Random Chat called "Words that ryme with PHUT!" And also, I apoligize for not remembering that part of the FAQ.

I think you mean forum. And everything is done for a reason, whether you realize it or not. Now whether it's a good reason or a bad one, is a different story.

Most of the idea you want to achieve does not have a good reason behind it.

Yes, forum was the word I was looking for. Thanks.

Quick Edit: And thats the point. Just doing things for no good reason whatever. Like paintball. Theres no good reason for it, but it's fun. I anticpate the sheer Fun-ness of such a thread would make this a better place.

There's a problem with that...

Pointless stuff just kills bandwidth. And bandwith to DDRFreak is like the Ring to Gollum.

They can't think straight if the forum is down. They start to get crazy thoughts of sabotage stuck in their heads. They demand to have their bandwidth back, so they may continue to admire the sole fact that they have DDRFreak, and that they have more power over us hobbitses... erm.gif trick members.

... yeah, what did I just write?

Anyway, if we have a ton of pointless stuff coming into a forum that welcomes it, there are likely to be threads made that may offend some people. The forum would become a giant flame war. That, stacked on top of the useless garbage coming in would kill the bandwidth and possibly drive many people away, looking upon this as an irrelevant and unfriendly site.

... it's too early, and I can't make sense with my words...

1) Bandwidth
2) Possibility of Flames

You want pointless? Play some frisbee golf.

Here's how I feel about this:

On this forum, you have two options:

1) Making threads that have a point, such as "What's your favorite anime?" or "What modes do you think will be on the next DDR mix?"

2) Making threads that don't have a point, such as "Pick a random word!"

Both can be fun. One is considered a waste of bandwidth (== money). The other is not.

So why not make a thread that is both fun and not a waste of bandwidth (== money)?

There are reasons to play paintball. Either to work on ones shooting accuracy with non lethal projectiles, or wanting to inflict a bit of pain toward friends/enemies. Or a number of other reasons, to do it just because there's nothing else to do and think it's fun, is also good.

But how much is it to play a game of paintball?

...no matter the cost, it does cost to have fun.
