Pointless Thread

"Pointless thread" is the name of a discussion thread on a number of political message boards begun by a single person known only as "Chanty".

The first one began on the "Real Time with Bill Maher" community message boards but has also been added to several others.

The thread is meant as a way for users to talk about anything without fear of deletion for going off topic. Generally speaking, a post on this thread should not have a point, but be a random thought passed to others on the thread.
The "Pointless Thread" is the most popular thread on the Real Time Boards.

shit thread lock and b&

The appropriate response to a forum/message board topic thread that is of no use to anything. It consists of no content worthy of reading, teal deers, and self pictures that make you want to throw acid in your eyes. Also, in general the OP is a giant faggot.
OP: "Hey guiz, post what Urban Dictionary Says about your name! Come on, it will be fun!"

threadvirus

When someone misunderstands a comment on a thread, then wrongly reprimands the posters, who in turn try to clarify, yet the problem persists infecting many of the thread’s later comments. This person typically tends to do this regularly.
“Cleo just started another threadvirus, she does that all the time. I wish she would get a clue.”

“I wish people would look up what they don‘t understand, before they start another threadvirus with their ignorance.”

“Try a Google search, and stop starting a threadvirus!”

Threads of Fate

A Japanese RPG (aka anime RPG) for Playstation released at the height of the Playstation RPG fandom in mid-1999. Simply unique due to it is perfect for beginner RPGs gamers with a not fully developed cerebral cortex. Actually, it is ideal for old gamers to come back and try to build up their former glory. I understand that one of the reasons it is cutesy is that "Princess Mint" doubles as a comic relief character. The game is known to be cutesy which may alienate most mainstream gamers.

5th grader: What is the easiest RPG for Playstation?
6th grader: Umm, Threads of Fate. It's cutesy though.
5th grader: What's wrong with it?
6th grader: I can't stand comic relief. The characters make me insane.
