For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Isn't this basically spamming for the sake of spamming?

So the point is to have quote towers?

2^2^2 - 2^2 - 2


Yeppers.

12!
If we just want quot towers, we can play the quoting game, and possibly have a relvant discussion as an unintended side effect. but spam works too

Quote towers have a limit I believe, and they're kind of annoying. x)


How high do they usually get ?

Well it's rewarding and fills you with a wonderfeul feeling when 1000 is reached, and I think it doesn't really affect anything, seeing as it's on NNV. I'm sure countless mods have seen it, and nothing seems to have happened yet *knock wood*[/b]

I agree with CWisgood. it seems like spamming for me. "stupid pointless annoying messages". they're definately stupid and pointless

ah, but are they annoying?
the posts here affect not your count, and so, like a lot else in this board, a lot of this is irrelevant. of course, we cound just have a discussion and begin every post with numbers such as...

Well yeah, they are annoying. Huge quote towers stretch the page and make 'puters go boom! Plus, just because your posts don't count in here, it doesn't mean that spamming isn't against the rules.

Actually 15 was said twice, so I was making up for a missing number

Don't really see what the problem is. I've seen stupid, pointless, and annoying posts outside of of NNV and they're not a big deal. Besides, using stupid, pointless, and annoying as words for the basis for what shouldn't be posted is vague as a distinct interpretation can not be expected. Anyway, it's the mods' job to post and decide what is what. Really, off-topic posts that are just griping about something are no better.

(I do agree that the quote towers aren't really needed though)
