People who start these record attempt threads are very sad and pathetic why bother? Why not talk about something decent like ff10?

I'd tend to agree, though. How many "World's Longest Threads" do we need? Each post made in the other WLT's is one less post for the FoG Chat WLT.

Keep it all in one place, and it gets longer, quicker! Having more than one on the same boards is self-defeating.

And it's never going to be the 'World's longest', let's face it. Also really there are no common thread to the posts, they're just in the same place. It would be a real challenge to pick a topic, and stick to it.

Hey, crunchy nits.

Most people only start WLT's cause they get off on how many replies they recieve.

I think that each forum needs a thread like the WLT. Its place where small comments can be talked about between friends. If everybody posted new topics instead of saying it in the WLT then the whole forum would be a mess of complete rubbish. But people keep small posts for the WLT and then free up the forums for the serious posts.

Very true. But it could be called the 'PS2 - general chat' thread or something.

Why? Whats in a name? Why should there be an outrage over something as petty as peoples topic titles. They're not racist or sexist, they're perhaps a bit conformist - but they work! Its an ideal way to keep the crap in one place. People feel like their worthless banter has some use if its increasing a so called record attempt.

Whether a record is broken or not, who really cares?
