Why the fudge do you think putting a topic in capitals makes me any more likely to click on it? It probably makes me less likely to click it because 9/10 they contain utter crap. Even Tony's last topic in capitals contained utter (political) crap.

STOP IT!

no-one takes nay notice of proper titles that explain what;s actualy in the topic.

"oh, look, that one looks interesting. But WOW! that ones in capitals! Lets Go!"

"Oh, that was crap, i'm off"

A topic with lower case title seems more sensible, yet a topic with capitals seems more of a joke or not so serious.

Many people think capitals get your attention but most of the time there just annoying people!
But like Meka said, capitals sometimes need to be added to make a point, to shout, like Meka did when he wrote WHEN CONSOKES ATTACK!

He was applying that he was shouting.

Capitals suggest shouting.

WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!

must be said in a raised voice, because of the absolute horror of the situations in which it is used.

Don't understand?

Go seek the topic in Prime, read i, and you will see.

Sometime capitals are necessary.


BTW I'm glad you're all so busy deliberating whether topics that have all CAPITALS in their titles are any good or not, a really worthwhile discussion this one.

Top marks.

I sometimes read topics with capital leeters for titles. I'm not bothered by the title, whatever case it's in, as long as the topic is interesting and there is a reason for it.
