Forums / Discussion / General

There was talk of a 9Gag General thread in another thread, and I didn't see one made, so I decided that this would be a good place to post most of the 9Gag-related discussion on the site.

I hope this will be a serious thread…

…I can't bear the thought of there being 'le this' all over the place.

It's been a while since I've visited 9gag, I wonder how everything is holding up (especially with the whole Australian model thing that happened)

9gag should 9gag 9gag.

Le me le never le went le to le 9GAG le because I am le tired.

I finally decided to spend a good amount of time at 9gag to see what all the fuss is about.
It was alright. Most of the images were decent, some made me chuckle and there were very few of the stereotypical "LE LE LE" rage comics or incorrectly used advice animals.

The problems I did have were that very few people used the original image source section on their images, instead leaving it blank. Also, the entirety of the recommended images section was nothing but rage comics.

Lastly, I was surprised and shocked to see various images made in memory of Michael Clarke Duncan, the man who played John Coffey in The Green Mile. It's very tragic to hear of his passing.

9gag isn't so bad, you've heard this said before, sorry for being late to say this.

Meh. It's not too bad. Mainly uninspired Rage Comics, but there are a few gems. There's no way they can orchestrate half of what they accused of doing though. I'm not sure about the stealing stuff from Reddit.

However, that opinion was pretty much already expressed in the previous post, and wasn't worth repeating. The real reason I came to this thread was to post a screenshot of how there are 3 9gag threads on the front page.

Yes, and the reason I made this thread was to isolate the 9Gag discussion so no more threads are made, thank you very much.

Locking because it's unnecessary, and will probably end up being a a bashing thread instead of a discussion general.

If I may, Mister J, wouldn't it be better to have it contained in this one thread than to lock it and have it just crop up elsewhere?

I really doubt that this thread would be serious discussion, and plus, there aren't that many news threads about 9gag. Yes, there are 2 right now, but 9gag isn't something worthy of discussion. Plus, it's better to have a event-related thread than just a plain complaint thread. This is like a Justin Bieber general.

I'm gonna ask some other mods to lock it if they agree.

If we could manage to contain it in one thread. The 4chan attacks 9gag thread was created a couple minutes before Mr. J's announcement of his intent to lock. We'd have to redirect everyone, and we have 3 or 4 9gag convos going on at once right now. That would certainly create some chaos.

Also, like he said, it'll inevitably turn into a bashing thread – a majority of the forum users are anti-9gag, and it's always the haters that are more likely to post (there's some named adage that describes it, but the name totally escapes me at the moment). There is a 90% chance that unlike most threads here, it'll just turn into LELELELELELELE, unfortunately.

The thread which included a discussion on the haters of 9gag seemed pretty fine…

I agree with Mister J. Most 9gag discussions aren't really discussions. We go around and around using the same arguments that have been brought up before. There's really no point, and it gets annoying to be honest. Also, this was made to control threads, but people have already disregarded it. Not to mention that 9gag isn't a topic that people want to constantly discuss. Re-locking.
