Throughout my time on Gamespot, many of it's more experienced members have complained of the paucity of good threads on OT, compared to the 'golden age'. Likewise, there's been much grumbling about religious, political, relationship and plain old spam threads that clutter the boards. So, my fellow members, I leave it to you to state what themes should become prominent on these boards we call home. Hopefully, the ideas that may be generated will reduce the whining by a small percentile...
Any thread that uses the word paucity is fine in my book. Seriously though, I like any thread that actually makes you think a little. Either that, or is really funny. Religion/politics threads used to make me think, but now they're all about the same thing with the same people. Too monotonous.

come to think of it I haven't seen a religion thread in about a week now. is this the calm before the storm? I'm actually planning one in the next few days. I'm going to try to bring a little new information to the masses. Who knows? Maybe tomorrow the OT will become the church and state union.
Hmmm, how about deep subjects and the use of pure facts to back up your arguement? Oh, and leave out some "debating veterans" (lookin' in your direction Carlos and LJS), just to spice things up a bit. Another thread might just have something to relieve the boredom. However, DO NOT MAKE IT IDIOTIC! I do not want to see any of the following:
constant swearing.
porn.
idiots practically killing themselves.
bad voiceovers (IE Naruto episode with Invader Zim voice clips)

^ So far, the ideal thread needs to be funny, thought-provoking, without pr0n or swearing (practically impossible on GS, at least if you want to keep your account), won't attract the attention of a GS veteran (also impossible), has a variety of 'tricks', and possibly include the word 'paucity'. Still a pretty wide field, can anyone think of other criteria?

Excuuuuse Me!!! Were just jealous of you're debating skills, oh great one. :P
Your avatar is probably the most addicting song. I thank Ron. I think that's who it was from anyway. Maybe Pie, unless they're the same person. Damn name changes confuse me.

Who are you? :o Ah, good ol' Pai. Pai26, isn't it?
~-~We need to talk about girls is some way. From what we would like in a gf to how they like guys nipples. (that only works when it has girls in it like it did last time.) That includes relationship threads, I like those too. However, I don't like the ones that is just about how horny you are and porn. (unless it's a debate about porn.) I like to respect them not make dumb comments about them.~-~

There isn't such a thing as an ideal thread, seeing as different subject matters appeal to different people. The ideal thread is completely subjective, and although there can be guidelines concerning the construction of these threads, the way their content is received is completely up to the person who's reading it. Ask yourself "What is the ideal thread?" and try to answer it yourself. Do not seek another person's idea of the perfect thread.

Mkay, what's your guidelines for threading, then? It's not for my sake anyway - I'm much more likely to respond than create.

Something that has grammar well composed enough to read, with proper citation of borrowed sources that could provoke a response rather than a statement from another user.

Or, something like the 'You're being killed' thread...you're right about it all being subjective :P.
