Can we limit this thread to actual jokes, please? And actually witty ones, at that?

Posters too lazy to contribute material to threads themselves complaining about people posting material to threads that isn’t up to their standard.
If it’s not good enough for you, be part of the solution, not the problem.

I don't think my request to keep this thread full of amusing content counts as being "too lazy to contribute". If I was "too lazy to contribute" I'd simply let people like Sonic1 and Patcan post their Facebook-style political memes, thus turning the thread into one of the million other threads on politics.scobienz wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 12:42 pmThis has always been an issue on 440.Starving Pelican wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 10:36 amCan we limit this thread to actual jokes, please?

And yet, you haven’t contributed SP, have you? Instead you’ve sat back and expected to be entertained and amused by others.
Your two or three comments on the thread have been your ‘yeah I agree with Rob’ comment and this complaint / advice.
Said it before and I’ll say it again. Too many 440 members expect to come on, and be entertained by everyone else, while offering little themselves. They complain about the lack of threads, but don’t bother starting any themselves. When was the last time you started a thread, for example?
Im not picking on you specifically. It’s been a problem on 440 for years. kir complained of it to me when I bought the site. It frustrated me and I’m confident Alexandra would say the same.
It didn’t bother Migs because he never paid attention.

But the threads become boring when non-amusing memes or jokes appear and you have to shift through them to find good ones, and one doesn't get the motivation to post on it. I get your point Scooby - but you have to admit that Sonic, Citizen K should band together with Brody on TOF and start their own non-funny meme website or forum.
The COVID funny thread started off well until citizen K posts racing cars named covid. TOF had what could have been an interesting thread on the cool funny and bizarre on the internet, but just has a string of useless boring memes.
This thread belongs to Sonic, so don't want to criticise his take on what the thread is about, only that I don't get the humour as much as he probably does. I do admit to opening it up to be amused, only to be disappointed most of the time. But yes, if we contributed, then perhaps it could change..........

I disagree that the thread belongs to Sonic. The thread belongs to everyone and is as good or bad as the contributions made.
If you don’t like the way it or any thread is heading, bring in something new or original or a new argument that contributes to developing the thread. Instead, too many of us sniff and sneer and say it’s just not good enough.
A forum is only as good as the effort it’s posters make. TOF has very engaged posters, but they post utter crap. 440 is the other extreme - unmotivated posters (most of them old timers) who post very good and funny stuff, when they can be bothered, which is not often enough.
There has to be a sweet spot in the middle.

I think it's a bit rubbish to insinuate that, just because someone doesn't post on one particular thread, they don't have the "right" to comment on the quality of that thread. I'm not the most prolific contributer to the site, but perhaps your claim would have more merit if a lurker had made the comment.scobienz wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 1:14 pmAnd yet, you haven’t contributed SP, have you?

I'm not insinuating it. I'm stating it as clearly as I can. Sure you can make the comment, but wouldn't it have been better to post your own joke or meme?
Too many takers, not enough givers on here.

Yes I could post my own joke or meme. I may do. But the site has a policy of welcoming feedback, and I, as a regular poster, decided to provide it. I don't think that should be an issue simply because I haven't posted a joke or meme on the particular thread in question.
I'll leave it there.

Proud of his Levi Strauss heritage, perhaps?

The president of the USA stole from a kids cancer charity. Here he is at the scene of the crime with his demon spawn.
