Please refrain from holding conversations on the message board that consist of 100 one or two word posts going back and forth between two people. Although this can be fun for the two participating, it is very boring for everyone else to read. This gets very aggravating to other users when a conversation such as the one mentioned above takes place in the middle of a valid discussion. You can still have fun by following the rules.

Thanks!

Here is an example of what I consider a "conversation thread" Keep in mind that that each line is a new post and they are posted only seconds apart from each other (ie: it is obvious that both people are on their computer at the same time):

Person 1: "I like girls."
Person 2: "Me too."
Person 1: "Girls are neat-o."
Person 2: "Yeah"
Person 1: "I know a girl."
Person 2: "Me too!"
Person 1: "Her name is Jenny."
Person 2: "The girl I know is not named Jenny."
Person 2: "Her name is Kim."
Person 1: "Whoa! That's crazy."
Person 2: "Yeah"

It's annoying cause it was always at the top of the list. All it seems you guys we're trying to do was to increase your post count. First off, posts like that and "creamy or crunchy", took up space in a server. You guys coud easily have discussed such things over a chat program such as AIM instead of slowly drain Dave's server. It's not like the guy can make a living off this website...

Instead of a petition, why not come up with some logical arguments on why this hello topic was so great or why it was fun to even have around. As much effort as it takes for me to avoid that chat, the same amount of effort it takes for you guys to use a chat program.
