I'd rather see Breaking Bad and Godzilla gifs than hate and QQ threads any day.

No it is an upvote

Here's a novel idea...

People. Are. Enjoying. Themselves.

Funny, right?

But seriously, if you think they crowd out other posts, learn to use the sub-boards (those fancy little things over on the side below the search bar) instead of just staring at the front page of the "hot" section of boards.

Its basically everyone fishing for the upvotes, now that they made the whole "lifetime upvote thing." Amusing for a short run, but this is when it gets irritating and why its a bad idea.

I actually do it because making a funny thread is fun.

Even more fun when others post reaction gifs or make more jokes and puns based off said thread.

Upvotes mean nothing, just people having a good time.

Exactly. The boards need to have something other than calls to nerf Riven and complaints about reworks. Something to put a smile on people's faces. https://31.media.tumblr.com/9edf47c249650a5f0eaaa3eeef4ccc82/tumblr_nn6u8reRx81sx0llvo1_500.gif

When people say we've gone out of control

Edit: are people really this mad? Gosh, get a sense of humor or stay off the Memes and Games board.

Does this actually keep me from seeing things? I laugh at the memes then just hit "show more". I thought I was getting to see everything in order of pop.

Is there a way to block the "meme" boards from the main one? It's annoying.

Is this a start of the Misc board attacking the Meme&Games board? Interboard war?! I'M IN! Rito please sponsor!

Leaked: I don't know if anybody got it, Misc spending is funding side projects, like this war. Misc topic is this war. The First Punch has been thrown gentleman and gentlewomen.

Rules: Meme&Games only uses Memes and gifs. Misc only uses off-topic references and suggestions.

I actually like the memes, but I guess it might be better to keep them off the front page maybe...

I'm kinda torn, because it is keeping the volume of hate threads down a bit as well...

Or maybe we could just I dunno, maybe click on the sub forum you want to read? Personally I don't ever read anything that is story and art or community creations, but they still show up on the main page from time to time so I just scroll past them.

Yes please, the upvote whoring has gotten out of control. We get it. It's funny, we get it, it happens to everyone, we get it, it happens alot. I'd rather have a discussion about cinderhulk with 80 upvotes on the top of Boards instead of YET ANOTHER DAMN unoriginal .gif posted by the same 3-4 people whose sole contribution to the forums is .gif spam.

So you prefer "We need Riven nerfs" & "Bring Back URF" than gif/meme threads?

On one hand, yes, it's irritating checking the Memes and Games forum and seeing the entire front page is full of cat gifs and cheap jokes. As someone that almost never thinks they're funny, one is the same as the next and I don't see the need for having an enormous volume of animated pictures that depict every conceivably possible situation in the game. Hell, the front page of Memes and Games has at -least- 35 of these right now, and only 5 threads on said front page do not have an accompanying image or video.

On the other hand, the threads themselves seem to have become a forum meme, which makes that subforum the most appropriate one for them.
