Before I begin, I'd like to say I have nothing against people who do so. It's their choice to post that way and in the end I can't do anything about it.

I'd just like to know why this has become so popular on OT.

Again, to clarify, nothing against these people.

While I will admit it can be kinda funny sometimes I think it's being a little overdone.

Also, I'd be willing to take 500 L's since I think I deserve them for this thread. Hell, maybe even more, I don't know.

I've been wanting to make this thread for about a month now actually, no idea why I delayed it so long.

I'm getting really off topic.

Discuss.

i know you're trying to make it sound nice so you dont get flamed
and maybe that truly is how you feel but
imo
yeah
please stop
i despise everyone who ironically posts on ot
like, if you do some ironic posting every now and then you're fine, but someone like nyckid is just terrible
actually
no
i love ironic posters like thai
i think the people we're talking about (or at least i am) are the baitposters, like nyckid and heartstrings
they are just terrible
and like you said, even though OCCASIONALLY they can be a tiny bit funny, they are usually all just trashposts

I do this, but it's all a joke and everyone can see it. It's whoever follows along with it that makes it fun. I also modify it so it's a little mix of bait, so I do have my own signature of posting.

Some of these include (successful threads)

I'm The Only Adult On OT - I basically say I'm the only adult on OT, 47, who goes to the gym for 24/8 and goes to roblox after every workout.

How Many Countries Are In The United States - This is more of a bait, but I basically just said the state are countries while saying random stuff like why Canada isn't in the U.S.

I'm Obese I Need Tips - I basically say that I got obese from eating garden salads, and my morning jog is basically a walk down the street corner.


---

I always try to make my threads very fun for everyone, so people can decipher the bait easily; but at the same time people can follow along for a good laugh.

Thanks for replies all. I replied really late. I'll be honest I was really nervous to view the replies on this thread. Yes, yes, I know I'm getting worried over a kid's forum site. I guess there's no real way to justify that. I usually reply to everyone individually but I probably won't in this thread.

Personally I think as long as you're not forcing other people to join you in doing it and as long as you don't make serious threads turn into pointless flamewars I'm fine with it. Even if you are doing it, I mean, do what you find fun I guess, I'm just saying I think it's a little excessive sometimes and honestly you're making OT seem more and more boring in some ways by doing so because that will discourage serious discussion. You could make the argument "well it's a kids site why should we have serious discussion" which isn't a very good argument in my opinion; who cares what site you're on? Why should it matter if you're on a kids site and making serious/unironic posts? Hell, if you want to make that argument, the fact that your even posting here on a kids site could be used as an argument against you. I can't really debate this point logically very well so I'll just leave it at this, why should it matter? Serious posters can overdo it too sometimes to be fair and we do need a little bit of balance in my opinion. In the end though, I can't decide what a group of people does with their time, so I think that perfect balance sounds a little bit too utopian.

I actually like ironic posts if they have good humour in them and stuff, and hell a few of my favourite posters here make ironic posts a lot.

It just depends entirely on how you do ironically post, I guess.
