Topic: Most iconic erm... I mean most ridiculous topics from Off-topic board - page 2. (Read 529 times)

Maybe it could be interesting to the Bitcoin community if we suggest nicknames that relate to Bitcoin..say, "BTC cupcake? Bit-plum?. Meh, some of these users be the reason I often wonder if the rules of each board are read before posting.

If we're listing most iconic threads from the Off-Topic section, no list would be complete without mentioning this one:

Let's talk about how hot Asian girls are. [NSFW]

It is 187 pages of exactly what the title infers, with (NSFW) pics to back up the discussion.


It ran for 3.5 years before it got locked. There was one member, dragonbird, who posted there 414 times... as a matter of fact, every post he ever made on the forum was in that thread, lol. He was a dedicated expert on the subject.

LMAO, I just added that topic to OP too =))) That's another good example of the ridiculous stuff posted in Off-topic board. I highly doubt that the discussion about finding a nickname for author's girlfriend "might be of interest to bitcoiners" (according to the description of the board).

 Yeah. And if they were asked, they'd say they are making contribution in the forum. They really take this off topic thing too seriously. This one here was just annoying and just like @lovesmayfamilis observed, it was a one lined question. As if the forum would shatter if they put more effort in their questions. Who even gave the rule that most of these questions should be one line or one worded? Or is it reserved for stupid questions only?
 Instead of the board being littered with spam from account farmers, isn't there a way to just scrap it or maybe turn it to someplace useful?

That very well said, lovesmayfamilis! And this is also mentioned in the sticky topic of the board:


However, the bans applied in this section for breaking its rules are very low. Maybe posts get deleted for having zero-value and for being one liners but, since hilariousandco stated that bans will be applied for all these cases, I don't understand why many of these users don't get banned.

In addition to these stupid topics, that section is full of answers that consist of one word, and this is very well-used by those who like to multiply their alternative accounts. I don’t know whether they will pay attention to reports with low-value posts, but I think everyone understands that this is an open window for increasing activity.

According to the description of Off-topic board, the materials presented there should be "Other topics that might be of interest to bitcoiners. ".

Furthermore, according to the sticky topic from Off-topic board,


However, during time, I noticed many topics which have absolutely no connection to bitcoiners nor present any interest for them. So I decided to make a list with such topics (those interested are free to contribute), in part for the lulz, as they are hilarious, and in part thinking that maybe their authors may be banned for posting such content, which violates the description of the board and the rules quoted above.

1. I impregnated a girl! What do I do?

I call the author of this topic "the pastor sex guy"

2. Not gay but attracted to women with penis

3.
I think this topic was deleted meanwhile, but mentioning it is still worth it, for showing one more "pièce de résistance" of Off-topic board /s

4.
This topic was also deleted, but it's another "precious gem" which lasted in Off-topic board for a while.

5. Finding Uniq nickname for my girlfriend..

6. Flat Earth

As of February 26, 2020, notbatman - the Supreme Leader of this gang - closed the gates of his Church, without any explanation, leaving the believers lost under the (flat?) Sun. The terrible news were brought by suchmoon: "Unfortunately Bitcointalk's most famous flatearther locked his thread after merely ~800 pages without conclusively proving whether the Earth is flat or not". After almost 5 years of hard, scientific debates, everything appears to be lost. Not entirely though, thanks to suchmoon, which although declined her competences on this delicate matter, she generously offered a shelter for these poor people who lost their leader, but hopefully, not their faith. Thus, with her help, maybe the remains of what was once a prosperous gang, will raise again!

7. Let's talk about how hot Asian girls are. [NSFW]


This topic probably must be of very high interest for bitcoiners. Sadly, it was locked.

8. Pictures from Russia. NSFW!!!


9. BIBINKA WORD GAME!


Must be a very addictive game.

10. Tarot reading for Crypto


Tarot and Bitcoin. Definitely a good combination!

11. How come you guys don't like me bird videos

The sad guy with bird videos. Nobody understands him and that's very sad.
