HEY! Where's The Crapper???

[Jammrock]

There's been discussion on adding a new thread called 'The Crapper'. Where is it Ant!?!? I think there are several topics, probably including this one, that deserve being sent to The Crapper!

Jammrock

------------------
Athlon 650
256 MB PC133 CAS3 from Crucial
87 GB storage from WD & IBM
Matrox G400 (it's not dead yet!)
SB Live! the original full retail, still going strong
Klipsch ProMedia v.2-400, the PC speakers that goes BOOM!
Hope Matrox releases the G800 before rebuild time, becuase the end is near!

Seems to me that the original intention of "The Soap Box" was the same as "The Crapper".
So this thread is already there

[cerb]

while(!crap) {
crapper++;
}

Soapbox==Crapper

"The Crapper" should be a forum in which you can't read the threads, only the original author's name and title.

I think that the Crapper only makes sense if it contains threads that are history (that were locked) because thay were ridiculous or ... just crap.

That way, when we wake up in the morning and start navigating the MURC forums we start the day visiting the Crapper for a clean, good laugh.

But only truly ridiculous threads gain access to the mighty CRAPPER! (Alec´s overactive imagination at work).

if alec /= false then
crapper := crapper + 1;
else
null;
endif;

Kruzin,

You're misunderstanding our plight here. The Soap Box is where people can rant and rave about whatever they want. The Crapper is supposed to be where stupid posts go, from all forums.

For example, DosFreak posts some lame pro-nVidia crap and starts causing troubles. People can start voting 'To The Crapper with you!' and if the post recieves 5 votes from different MURC'ers, the thread gets shipped to The Crapper, so it won't disrupt our lovely forums.

Output:

Forum 3: crap ('NVidia's MAC drivers suck!')
Forum 5: crap ('holy cow!!! there taking about g800!!!')
Forum 5: crap ('G800 or GXXX: it's really the time to go out!!!!!!!!!')
Forum 13: crap ('Bu-bye nVidia!   Pages: 1 2')
Forum 13: crap ('3DMark2001 - Another NVidiaMark?')
