My deal is the pointless threads generated over the past couple weeks on here that could simply be handled through e-mail, ICQ, IM, or some other means. When the conversation boils down to inside jokes for the 2-3 people involved, why do the rest of us need to see it? And the 'just don't read it' excuse is lame. If the conversation is taking up a full page like yessterday and the day before and the day before... it's hard to just skip over. Real estate is still valuable & those types of threads are just a waste of space for the forum.
