Petition against useless "race" threads

[jcuber]

Did you look back at my original post?

 

[Ellis]

Definite fail jcuber, I can't believe you don't see that.

 

[Ethan Rosen]

Did you look back at my original post?

Yes, and the fail is still there

 

[Dene]

You spefail, that's how bad it is.

Am I the only one that finds this anti-race thread campaign a little irritating? I mean, yeah, the topics do only appeal to a certain group of people, but isn't communicating these things the idea of message boards? How else do you expect to find such a small group of people that are at a similar skill level as you? You need to communicate to a large community of people, and that's the point of using message boards. It's not like they're posting topics asking "How do I improve my F2L?" or something, they're just trying to connect and find people so that they can motivate each other to improve.

I think the problem was that there were just way too many of them. There was no end in sight. There could be a race thread for anything, It was getting annoying. Plus some of them were just unrealistic. There was one "sub-3 on 2x2" made by someone averaging 20 seconds (on 2x2) that claimed to be using 2-look PLL. That's just silly.

Well, I didn't see that race thread, that sounds like complete nonsense span anyway. Though the ones I saw, like the 3x3x3 BLD sub-2 race, the 4x4x4 BLD race, and the sub-20 race seemed to be perfectly fine topics.

 

[masterofthebass]

if you notice, the 4x4 and 3x3 BLD races are still there...

Oh, sorry, I took your reply concerning "deleting pointless topics" as deleting all the race topics. Duly noted.

Yea well then there's a lot you missed.
