Yeah, the little trivia about others is part of the charms of this topic. Also, the silly conversations that happen here are usually fun.
In my opinion though, moving the thread to forum games was appropiate. Hell, this is the only forum I've ever seen a "what are you thinking?" topic outside of the forum games section or its equivalent.
That's the thing with being new...people don't have a good grasp of your humour or how much or little you actually put into your posts. My fault for jumping around the corner throwing rubber knives. No one knows what's going on or what to make of it. Last post about this, I'm sorry if people took it to heart...especially moderators. I was being anal about the word "Game". That was all. I understand the purpose of the forum and why things are here(I've been a moderator before), I was just making a carefree statement that was argued and I rode that train all the way to the station :P ...and on that note:
Way back in ancient times, before threads were invented (or even the World Wide Web), there existed discussion boards with only one thread. Everything went in it. Intelligent posts, dumb posts, discussions about which posts were intelligent or dumb, mom's macaroni recipe, and so on. You just read starting from the first new message to the last new message, and tried to keep all topics straight in your mind.
This thread kind of reminds me of those days. It's not really a game, just another way of communicating.
I think I just found the reason for my attraction to this thread. I get bored easily. It's the reason why I read multiple books at the same time, do homework while watching TV shows and posting, and like movies with plots twisted and tangled into the world's largest granny knot.
This thread is like that, a mass of stories coming together to form one large picture of the character of the forum, a place that can change moods at the drop of a hat, and shifts constantly from one topic to the next.

The fox I thought I saw turned out to be Farmer Clayton's rusty old bin. I wouldn't be so embarrassed if this wasn't the twelfth time I've made that mistake in the past two hours.
The hens eggs are all over my feathered face right now. Not literally of course, that would be perverse.

I dunno what's more annoying, that virus you got, or the ones I got that try to pass for an antivirus that tries to convince you that every single program except it in your computer is infected and won't let you open anything nor go anywhere on the internet until you "buy" the subscription.

Yours is more annoying just cos of the sheer cheek of it.
Though I won't argue against the thread being here, there's a horrendous flaw in your logic, Dashing. Discussion does happen here (case in point: THIS), it just doesn't constantly happen here. Yes, there's quite a bit of people shouting whatever they feel like, whether anyone's listening or not, but discussion threads rise and fall all the time in this thread.
And in a perfect world, yes, we could have a thread for every little thing we want to discuss. But that's not the case. For example, would Retrovortex have started a thread about his arcade machine if not for this thread? I admit, I don't know him well enough to say for sure, but I doubt that the existence of this thread is the only thing that caused him to not make a thread of its own to post in. And people have been interested in and talked about this thing.
So you're free to hate this thread for all the chatter and posts that don't carry on a discussion, but don't you dare act as though that's all that the thread consists of. It's an insult to your own intelligence.
Maybe you could read the whole thread from beginning to the end and cut every 2~3 posts that make a discussion and bring them back in the general chat with a relevant thread title ... Not all by yourself ... you can share the work between other moderators ... Okay strike that, That's a silly idea ... *purposely keeps the silly idea stroked instead of removing it so that people can actually read it*
You know, when I saw the Star Wars prequels, I kept thinking of this game(see, now it is apt)....mostly because the acting reminded me of a pile of wood.
...oh, and I think there was a guy with a similar sounding name...nahhh on second thought, I think I'll stay with my first answer on that one.

Whoever created the child-safe bottle cap is not a friend of mine. Whenever I maintain my fishtank, I have to add about 10 mins on to the total time it takes simply because I can never get the caps off of the chemicals I need! It's not child-safe. It's human-safe. In fact, I'm sure that when I was much younger I was able to open those child-safe caps a lot easier and a lot quicker.
Bless you for asking, they're just chirpy thanks. How are your small human squishballs? I hope they are well.
Unfortunately our youngest chick, Pedro, caught a terrible fright this morning. He waddled over to the window of Mr. Clayton's farmhouse, and saw him and Ms. Rosie from the newsagents doing something no innocent chicklet's eyes should ever have to see. Mrs. Clayton won't be best pleased if she ever finds out but at least poor Pedro's stopped shaking, for now.
Slightly more pheasant news is that little Sid, Maci, Eva and Dell came scuttling up to the hutch yesterday and tweeted me to eggcitedly tell me how they had followed a trail of seed, which led them to a "suavely mystical idea man" who eggplained to them that he was once eggstatic but was now a little down on his pluck. I think that the darling fluffs are just taking a flight of fancy but I guess there's no fowl in having an active imagination, right?
Cockerel, I've read your posts and I love em. So I wrote you this big sexy hook I think you're gonna dig. Cocks, let's get to it.
THIS IS THE TALE
OF COCKEREL THE ROOSTER
A FARMBIRD SO BRAVE
ACROSS THE BEAUTIFUL PLAINS
AS A DAD HE'S THE BEST
TO THE CHICKS HE ADORES
WHO HE CAN ALWAYS PERSUADE
TO EAT THEIR NUTRITIONAL GRAINS
That was eggcellent, truly the best thing I'feather heard. I was tempted to add to it but then I chickened out. Many times thank you Mr. Fawful, I'm sure the chicks will get a hoot out of hearing the bedtime song of how their father is the greatest cock of all.
Although I am a bit too much of a chicken to add to your starling effort, I shall attempt my own bird-song in your honor..
He is a human,
his name is Mr Fawful.
He is nice and good,
and he is far from awful.
Mr Fawful, he eats falafel.
I'm sure he is quite lawful,
he is nice and good,
for his name is Mr Fawful.
I hope you enjoyed my hawkish attempt at human ryhming. I'm afraid us cockerels are not knowen for our lyriics. My brethren are all about the bebop..

Cock-a-bebop-a-do
Thanks!
NOW BACK TO THE GOOD PART!
FROM THE EGG HE WAS HATCHED
HE DANCED FOR THE HENS
OL' COCKEREL
STRUTTIN OFF HIS STUFF
HE'S THE BEAK OF THE BARN
THE WING OF THE WINDMILL
IN THE CHICKEN COOP CONFINES
IS ANY COCK MORE TOUGH?
Why is it that one of brood goes missing everytime that axe appears outside dear old Mr. Claytons shed?! I suspect that he's taking us to a big surprise party one by one. Oh golly, I do prey to the mighty Big Bird that there will be bowls full of seed and lots of hens in need of having their eggs fertilised at this party.
I'm just not sure how that funny old axe fits in to all of this.

The axe is to...umm....chop fire wood for a cozy party atmosphere.

Did you help build the pyramids?

I love this guy!
No, we made the level 1 users do all the work.
you could have just opened in safe mode and ran virus software
How are the chicks?
I ran scans before and it didnt find anything. Plus this is what everyone said to do when I managed to google the problem.
Yours is more annoying just cos of the sheer cheek of it.
What? Davies left? Okay, you know what, you people can eat a dick.
woot! one of the few users who's posts are worth reading is back
Hey! If you read carefully, I tried my best to convince him to stay. Sadly, I was unsuccessful.
o_O
He's still here, he's just faking. JedEx already called it, Davies is Cockerel.
Wow, those are some depressingly low standards.
Darling! *glomp*
