Questionable thread titles
Not sure how to handle this personal peccadillo, and so thought to - what else?!? - start a thread that somehow may lead to some therapy.
So it's late, and I'll looking over the new and not so new threads within a section, looking for somewhere to plant some words that may start some discussion but won't overtax my brain too much, and so I'm reading over the thread titles, and then it happens... I get this urge to post one (or few) word answers to a thread, as, well, the answer's obvious and, well, you asked the question, didn't you? So far, I've held off, and I'm hoping that this thread will keep my typing at bay just a little longer, but...here's what I want to do, late in the night:
I hope that that will keep me away from your threads for at least a day or two. Keep me in mind the next time you end your thread title in a question mark, as I may just answer. |
Servant or Master Master.
The Barrow-Downs? Website. Do Elves BURY their dead? Yeah. Do Balrogs Have Wings? Yesno. What's up with Celeborn? Nuthin. How many in Battle of 5 Armies? Five. Why destroy Laketown's bridge? Smaug. What? Huh? |

Nitpicky. You said it. :p
Plenty of topics can follow this format. My dissertation had a question title: doesn't mean I didn't discuss anything therein! Besides, it shouldn't be the responsibility of a topic-starter in a discussion forum to remind everyone that discussion is encouraged in the thread. ;) |

Welcome Back, Kotter.
I don't mind the thread titles that ask a full question, but the topics that sound like they were created by Vinnie Barbarino truly leave me shaking my head (i.e. What? Where? How? When?). I believe a topic should at least give a clue as to what is hidden within, just a click away.

Did Aragorn really walk around the Wild with just a broken sword for protection? Condoms aren't mentioned in Middle-earth.
Christopher Tolkien: kill HOBBIT film Murder most foul The Barrow-Downs? Is that like coffee, tea or me? Short end of the stick, so to speak... picking straws? Re-release? Tom Jones gets to love again. Say what? No ;) |

What do you think happenend to Sauron? Unhappy childhood. Places to go for Rolepaying as a game? It's a game? :eek: Numenoren kings and the end of Disney's Biambi No comment. |
And now for a themed post.

What does it all mean? I have no idea...

Go on a general interest forum and you'll see a dozen threads a day entitled with helpful things like "Help! Quick!" or "Do you know..." etc. It generally turns out to be someone wanting to know the number of a shop that they could have got out of Yellow Pages...:rolleyes:

Why Geneologies? - Because stick figure drawings just aren't as informative.

What do your Elven eyes see? ♪I see skies of blue, clouds of white...♫ what were The Silent Watchers? they were Statues. MONEY in middle earth? SILVER in bree. |
Okay, I want to laugh every time I see it (and since I have laryngitis at the moment, it's not a comfortable thing!), so I have to mention it. When I enter the main discussion forums page and it's there, I only see part of it:
How many Rangers of the North So of course the mind, being old and creaky, immediately completes it with: ...does it take to screw in a light bulb? Not the real full topic title, of course, but I laugh at weird things, I guess. :D |

Not, sadly, the real thread title...but it was because the chicken crossed it and Sauron followed 'cause he wanted to barbeque and Isildur followed 'cause he wanted the shiny. |

Lacking a clever title for the thread, I thought it wise to forestall any facetious remarks. My wisdom has been proven. ;)
