Have you ever nominated something for Greatest page just because...

[Kire]

I mean, just because... Not because it's particularly great, or anything, or perhaps because it was exceptionally bad. I can't think of which threads I've nominated, but I have done just that.

Next thing you know, I'm going to be using a random number generator and nominating threads that match up.

1. I just had to nominate this...

I love irony!

on edit:
As a rule though, I only nominate post I really like, or find important. The greatest page is there for a reason, why try and undermine it by putting shit there.

2. yeah, yours!

[Beam Me Up]

3. Well, I'm not nominating it.

Not because it isn't particularly great, or anything, or because it is exceptionally bad, either. I just don't nominate ANY thread. I mean, to nomi8t a thread I have 2 b seriously motivated by an impulse, or MONEY, or SOMETHING!

:freak:

[Rush1184]

4. Well it is free to nominate a thread!

Think of all they money you will save! j/k

[Spiffarino]

5. No.

It defeats the purpose of the Greatest Page, which is to make it easier to find threads that appeal to most folks. Why screw it up? :shrug:

7. makes DU look like a teenage playground

[Hatalles]

8. I agree.

I really like the Greatest Page feature and though I'll reply to (and often create) a strange useless lounge post, I won't rec it. There's some *really* good posts I wouldn't have come across if it weren't for that feature.

[Kire]

10. I'm sorry.

I really wish I had an example of a thread I nominated for greatest page that didn't really deserve it (in the traditional sense). It's been at least a couple of days. Maybe it's because it's a wonderfully witty lounge post, or something that has nothing to do with great important, all mighty things that usually go on the Greatest page. I am honestly not trying to "screw things up". Lighten them up, maybe, but I confess to no malicious intent,here.

[Spiffarino]

14. No malicious intent assumed

...or implied. I just wanted to answer from the heart. I am a real fan of the Greatest Page and don't want it to be misused by those who might take your post the wrong way.

6. You are there again.

Quit making threads like this!

[Kire]

11. If you had told me when I woke up this morning...

...that I would have two threads on the greatest page before I go to bed, I would have said, "Keep dreaming."

G'night, folks.

[xmas74]

12. Good night.

[BrightKnight]

9. no -n/t

[Us vs Them]

13. Please don't muddy the Greatest page...?

It is starting to lose relevance. (At least in my opinion.)

[Kire]

15. what is losing relevance?

the Greatest page, or the theory that is shouldn't be muddied.
