(Not counting this one). So what is the stupidest, most off-topic, not important at all thread you've seen on here, that just incited total rage from all who saw it and posted in it.

Precisely the 83rd thread asking 'Why do so many people watch My Little Pony?'. I mean, some of the earlier ones like #43 and #67 got pretty bad, but sheesh, this one, it was like Vietnam all over again. Don't make me go there, man, I'm getting flashbacks.

...although this is pretty much true. It got ridiculous back in June/July where apparently everyone forgot the search bar existed and a thread with this topic popped up twice daily, and turned into a carbon copy of all the ones that came before it.

Thus why MLP is largely considered c&ser on 4Chan.

OT: I remember a person making a thread asking in ALL CAPS where the planet "Zog" was.

After 2 pages of responses talking about how pointless the thread was someone stumbled upon the source of the question, and that the OP was referring to (the at the time it was relatively new) a joke Yahtzee had made in his review of Turok.

Any thread that I've made, with the exception of 3 or 4, I would post and immediately think "This is stupid, why the hell did I even think of this?"

Or the "What's so great about [insert wildly popular thing that just about everyone can agree is above average at the very least]?" or "I think [insert wildly popular thing that just about everyone can agree is above average at the very least] isn't above average at the very least, here is my insanely one-sided, flawed, ignorant, and highly opinionated reasons why it sucks." type threads, your opinions don't matter, people only repy to tell you how much of an ass you are.

Oh forgot the "I'm a stupid teenager who doesn't appreciate everything I have, I bet none of you can top my worst day ever, I had to go to school and it sucked, then I went home and it sucked, and there are stupid people everywhere and my life is litterally the most tragic thing that has ever happened ever."

This.
Any thread either asking about why or insisting people to stop making threads about a popular topic is irrelevant to the interests of the Escapist.

Talking bot threads are annoying, too.

At least threads like this are amusing, sociable, and in their own, weird way can promote discussion: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.306970-If-you-could-replace-your-hair-with-any-vegetable-what-would-it-be

And I have to also add the threads made by jaded people who blame society or the entirety of the opposite sex for why they have issues with relationships and always choose bad boy/girlfriends.
(If you'll accept your problems and stop blaming everyone, then we'd be more inclined to help you)

Every one containing following words in the title: "vs", "Why do people love/hate ... so much", "Am I the only one, who..." "Ponies". Also everything by EternalNothingness.

Any thread I've made drunk, and those were the most viewed and commented ones I've made!

3/4 of all the Skyrim threads being posted over the last week or so.

Also any vs threads disquised as discussion. I.e Battlefield or COD which shall I buy?

Well, you still have your animation, so it's easy to see the difference.
Plus, the amount of stupid in pretty much all of his posts compared to the lack of stupid in any of your posts that I've seen, and it easily becomes clear who is who.

Well, he doesn't have a cool magic laser effect in his avatar, so I can tell you two apart.

Yep. EternalNothingness threads top most.

Your posts made me look the guy up, I have to say I've never seen a more dedicated troll.

Basically this. Basically any thread that boils down to "I am unable to process the concept that people's tastes may be so much as remotely different to my own."
