This is kind of my point though: why start a thread when you were not into doing the thing? Maybe you got into it a little later on, but if you start with a basically negative, don't-give-a-**** attitude, how can you expect anyone else to care?

If you want to continue though I would suggest doing what I did and lay some ground rules down, specifically in your case as to how many albums a week you are going to review. Or just again take a page from my book and don't review, just comment and say if you liked the album.

Or just close it altogether. To be honest, the stick you've taken here is nothing compared to what I had to take in my thread, but it didn't make me want to close it. Anyway, it's up to you, but I'd say people might be more interested if you were, or looked like you were.

I think you're getting confused on this because from the minute I opened the thread, people were interested. And I did express soon after I started the thread that i'd be happy to review albums.

However, as far as i'm concerned, this thread was meant as a joke / stab at all the other threads that relate to it. Am I wrong for getting interested in it even though I played it off as a joke? No, but you're not wrong in assuming that I wasn't fully into it at the start, because evidently I wasn't.

So, i'm sort of on both sides of this because I know exactly where you're coming from.

Well I just don't get this at all. If it was a joke, why take recs? And why get upset about people slagging you off? All you had to say was, "Dudes! It was a joke thread and you all fell for it!" I don't think anyone took it as a joke thread; I certainly didn't.

You don't get satire, do you? What would be the point of a satirical thread you didn't take seriously for at least five minutes?

Course I get satire. It's delivered to my door every Wednesday by a guy called Jack. Nice guy. I tip well. But the point is, if this was a satirical thread, why did Ki make it seem like it was legit by actually reviewing albums? Did he change his mind and decide to make a go of it? And either way, whether it was serious or a joke, he really has no call to be getting his knickers in a twist about people slagging him off and upsetting him now that it seems to have ground to a halt.

Like, it's either a joke (in which case take the criticisms) or it isn't (in which case do wtf the thread title implies) --- it can't be both. Joke played out too long?
