Questions about threads filled with pix

iceRedfire — Sat, 30 Jul 2016 16:32:56 GMT

The boards have a lot of threads that are just from doing a google search of a topic (like specific animals , funny cat memes , random funny pix, and so forth) and then copy and paste, copy and paste. What's the interest in doing this? To see pix all we have to do is search and look for ourselves.

This is just my wonderings and the point is not that posters should do this, I'm not the board police 😋😜🤓 and I get that some people like these pic threads or there wouldn't be so many , I just was wondering why take the time for all that coping and pasting here when the pix are there in google anyway?

I like reading about why people do things so I look forward to reading your replies about this. I think people are wonderful and fascinating!💙

Thanks and have a GREAT weekend!💙

Beause we want to, because we can hang out and discuss funny stuff that we have in common with other posters.

For me, it's a pleasant diversion from all the sad, depressing threads.

Because people enjoy doing it.

Some of them are hilarious.

Hi Collette, I post regularly on a thread in Among Friends - the Bird's Nest. I feature a bird of the day. I consider it educational.

Exactly. It's nice to have a fun, enjoyable thread to visit that usually doesn't involve arguing or whining.

I love the threads that are filled with pictures...I think it makes for good conversations when we have something to look at then reply....If someone started a thread and said Google ..blah blah..and the next poster then responded ...Google blah blah...how long do you think that thread would keep anyones interest..how long do you think the thread will last...who wants to keep going back to Google to see what each poster is talking about...no one..

@Bird mama I was thinking this morning we need a body mods thread over there in Among Friends, where those of us that like them can share with each other.

I agree, but, I can blow it out my rear. They don't belong in the Kitchen area. Didn't use to be like this, but, some came in and now the board is not like it used to be. I don't pay any attention to them at all.

Mods are letting it go. There is 10 other boards to post this 'stuff', but, seems they think all the boards need to see it. It's spread like poison ivy.

You got Pet Lovers, among friends, garden to post this 'stuff'

Like everything else today you have to ignore it. Why mods don't do something is beyond me I get poofed if I talk about something off topic in a group, but, in a forum entitled 'Kitchen' seems you can do whatever you want to do.

@KingstonsMom That is priceless

I enjoy the surprise of a picture that really moves you for the moment or day. I could search for days and not find one like what IG posted. To read this thread and pop there it is reminds me of the surprise in the crackerjacks box. I had to smile

Now I want to go look for the bird a day ones because I like learning new things.

Every time I see that deer eating popcorn one show up on a thread I laugh too.

To be sure, lots of things can be pulled individually based on personal interests from Google or any search engine. Putting them together in one place so that somewhat like-minded folks with some level of common interests can enjoy and comment on them is my understanding of why they appear here...

I pass by the picture threads. I'm sure there are many who like them, the threads have hundreds and hundreds of posts.
