Bwuh!
It's a bit of a shame that the articles in PGI aren't discussed as much as most of us would undoubtedly like. KillerOnion's right: the "What's your favorite..." threads are played out like Pokémon, and not very informative indeed.
What we should accomplish is not to ask the most interesting questions, but give at least an interesting answer. I'm all for random banter and st00pid posts, I even enjoyed reading the [CENSORED]ball posts, silly as they were.
Thing is, if a moderator politely asks people to tone down the silliness, you get everybody into control freak mode, and then people could restrain themselves from posting really interesting stuff.
Don't let the bull**** get to you, try to be as informative, helpful and friendly as possible, just like on the field.
