The name sucks. I'm not saying that out of tradition, I'm saying it because it sucks.

This thread title is way worse than anything anyone could ever have come up with. Even CrapBag. Really... What was wring with "Testnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"

Darn you Pikka Bird, why, why, why didn't you make the test thread?!

Personally, I would have preferred "Shut up about the fucking tests already and just talk about the Test... Thread?"

In fact, every new thread should follow that format.

That's not what test threads are for, and you know it!

Do I even have a signature?

Huh, I guess I do.

Ooooooohhhhhh

....kinda

I'd like to see you try!

I think I put forth the "Testnuts" one.

I'm sorry. Complainers don't have time to put what they're complaining about into well thought sentences. They have to complain fastly.

PEEL Comic due next week!

It's not dead! I've been busy with some stuff.

You wussies couldn't make a crap test title if you tried.

I'm the champion.

Also, Dimebag and Lennon are playing Pinball in Paradise. That would be an awesome rock song.

Well you shouldn't be mad anymore since I made you your own special thread weiner.

Not a great title, but at least it has the word test in it.

It's not a prerequisite, as indicated by the zest, winna, and chay threads

Let me add my piece: this title sucks to the Xtreem!

 

I don't mind a thread that is not a pun or joke, but still "People you have no chance with, but want to bang (or screw or whatever)" didn't really inspire any kind of zeal, you know.

That was lame, Crappy. The best thread titles draw you in,even if you don't care about the topic at hand.. like that video game thread. Or something.

I'm still not sure what was wrong with "I'd like to milk his moustache!" Hmmm?

 

Don't bring it up again. That was left to the trainwreck that was the last two pages of the last thread. Pitt can get real angry.

Pitt can get real right. That conversation was annoying, and it needed to die.

Test thread titles always suck. But when you guys keep complaining about it, it makes a pre-mature baby die of polio 

Archie: I'd buy that slogan on a T-Shirt though.


Zed85: If you ever want a good game to play online, get Red Orchestra now comrade.

A question to any minor World War 2 experts, did bullets from the more heavier machine guns richochet off things a lot?

Not a very seasonal title is it? I bet even Nurdy could do better.

Depends on what you mean with "heavier" and what round you're using. The Browning M2 (firing a 50 cal round) would penetrate most obejcts.

Tanks and most armored self-propelled guns would cause it to richochet, but concrete walls, trucks, jeeps, personell carriers, etc. would be ripped to shreads. Using plain rounds the M2 can penetrate 4-8 mm of armor depending on distance, using armor peiercing rounds it can penetrate 10-20 mm. A newly developed sabot round called SLAP increases its armor piercing capability to 25-35mm (if my memory is correct, afterall it's more than 10 years since I left the army), again depending on distance.

A big reason we got away from using the word 'test' in test threads was because test threads were banned; however, much like alcohol, you can't keep a good thing down.

It's not a great title, I don't actually care a whole lot, but I agree with pikka about being a social norm to wait until the previous thread is closed.  Kind of like not nominating or voting yourself for awards, but people hardly follow that one anymore either.

Also, since I'm staying out of that other thread, I just wanted to point out that Teral, you had a lot of valid points.  People shouldn't get angry over how some silly internet awards ceremony goes.  On one hand it's a silly internet awards ceremony, but on the other hand, it became a little bit of a tradition and therefore in a lot of people's minds, a part of PEEL; just like POTM, only certain people having custom titles, going to an AGI or a PEELcon: they have invariably established themselves as things that are a part of PEEL and give people an identity as a PEELer.  I'm not even saying we have to have a silly internet awards ceremony, but I feel the community as a whole necessitates for this event to happen and thusly I created that thread in the first place.  I didn't blame anybody in particular that slowed the process to a halt for this thing last year, because it isn't the end of the world, and I understand that people have lives and sometimes they push projects onto the backburner.  It's ok, but I presented an alternative so that we could still have one and possibly sidestep the things that slowed the process or made people insensible to the idea anyways. 

The only thing I don't completely agree with in your whole statement is the idea that someone else could create another award ceremony.  That might have been possible a long time ago, but the PEELies having established themselves as being a part of PEEL command a little more respect than I think a new awards thingy would.  The anti-PEELies aren't a good example, since as you pointed out it was basically a flaming thing, but I find it doubtful that somebody's try at something similar would succeed without that emphasis needed for people to get behind it.

Those are all my thoughts at the moment... as written on this parchment of PEEL.
