My least favorite threads are those involving Macs and PCs, they always end up as a flamefest and there's hardly any real information thrown around to back up opinions.

any thread were people try to proclaim there *insert anything here* is better then every one else's choice.
also im getting fair tired of threads involving homosexuality because once one pops up about 4 or five others show up that day, the only reason i think people keep making them is because they want badges as they clearly dont care as they could have just searched the forums and found a bajillion threads on it.

Not a single mention of bieber or lady gaga threads? Awww....

Ah, another one you lot forgot: relationship advice threads, again adding to the image of us not being able to function in the real world.

Girls and gaming is also worth mentioning AGAIN, as no matter how much those topics are overdone, it's guaranteed to receive a zillion replies and stick on the most commented/hot topic front page for a while.

Every week I see a thread about someone getting a PS3 and asking for recommendations for games. It probably annoys me more than it should, but I don't care.

"Your avatar..." because, seriously, not all of us have avatars that are characters/people from something.

The last enemy you killed...

I actually haven't seen many 'last enemy' threads recently. The avatar ones are getting annoying though so that's where my vote went.

Before it starts, let me preemptively damn the inevitable 'the last enemy you killed has teamed up with your avatar' thread. It's only a matter of time before those two mix.

best console threads are the ones that annoy me the most simply because they act like the pc is not a legitimate gaming system.

They've pretty much all been said but:
-Am I the only one?

-Your avatar

-The last thing you killed________

-Anti-America (especially the one about how we do the date. I mean come on, getting all excited about Uncharted 3 is cool, but think about it, 11-1-11, if it was done the way the rest of the world did it, us Americans would be all excited "OMG UNCHARTED 3 IS NEXT WEEK!!! HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THAT?!?!" America does shit differently. Sorry to burst your bubble but you have to deal with it.)

The "your avatar" and "The last thing" threads especially annoy me though.

Anything about or involving Anonymous. They are shit. Nothing they do is ever funny or good in any way. Ignore them.

I reckon a fair amount like those threads. Otherwise people wouldn't make them and reply in them.

I only have an issue where the initial question is too vague. Just saying "recommend me some music/game/book/film" without any indication of what you like/ genres your into is not going to help the person find what he likes.
Oh yes, definitely. Those are a little irritating. And when you try to get specifics, some of them snap and start raging away for no readily apparently reason. Still, the rest are good.

"Why -insert popular well received game here- sucks."

"Girls play video games!? Where!?"

"Am I the only one who-" Of course, out of 6 billion people on the planet, you're the only one who has that opinion.(sarcasm)

"America sucks because-."

And my personal favorite "I've lost faith in humanity." or "Humans suck... except me."

Anti America, and any other subjects that lead to international dick waving.
This FTW!
The Anti-American feeling is making me think about leaving the Escapist.

Threads about drugs are always filled with people ranting about how everyone else is being controlled by government propaganda.
Don't forget how it's all about making the rich richer.

"The last thing you ______"
"I lost faith in humanity"
"Am I the only one..."
"RECOMMEND ME AN ANIME LIKE TOTALLY!"
Also these four.

Actually, y'know what, look at the 'hot threads' and you'll probably see the ones I hate most. Why do the freaking avatar and 'last thing you...' threads always make it to that list? This site seems to have a week of shitty topics every so often.

So many threads. I don't mean to sound nostalgic but I miss the days when people would berate others for making Vs threads and not using the search bar. Sure it made the forums a hell of a lot more elitist but at least it ususally kept the repeat threads down. Anyway to name a few I hate Vs, Am I the only one who X?, You did X now Y is doing Z, You and your avatar are Q, Girl gaming, Piracy, Most popular game threads, most genre threads, religious threads and Anti-X threads to name but a few. You really start to notice the amount of threads that repeat themselves when you've been here awhile.
