Those ones that are really just the OP either trying to look cool or brag about something.

Especially if they're poorly written, which they invariably are.

What threads make you roll your eyes and sigh because they've been posted so many times before?

Grouchy Imp posted a thread earlier today asking how long it was before people posted their first thread. It got me thinking that the big reason I haven't posted one yet is that (being very new) I might post something to which the only answer is "omg this same thread pops up every day" or "had you searched the forums you'd see there's already a thread for this".

For you seasoned veterans. What threads do you see over and over again?

(I'll be very upset if this in itself turns out to be one of those threads) :)
Hi! I saw (and you mentioned) that you were new, so I'd like to welcome you to the Escapist!

Here's a guide I made for about arguments [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.215956-Someone-just-called-me-a-dumbass-How-not-to-fly-into-a-rage-over-every-internet-argument], but there are some more general ones in the off topic section.

You seem nice, so I recommend you join some user groups, like this one, we're pretty nice, and very silly. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Aardvarks-Anonymous]

Have fun or we'll kill you!

Threads that amount to "State what the best this or that is" based on some pretense are somewhat tiring, but I don't mind them. No topic really annoys me on here, but I don't spend too much time on here anyway so everything is generally in small doses.

Threads asking this same question, Zombie Apocalypse, relationship threads, and 'current celebrity here' threads.

Hmm well i've been hanging out in the RP section mostly because of this kinda crap. Lets see-

Twilight
Why I think this(seriously is starting to get on my nerves when people title their threads like this)
Beiber
This ruined that
and why is this overrated?

Oh and don't forgot it the good old troll threads bashing Vale games or anything considered a artsy game on here.

The ones concerning hating or loving a popular thing. Also, Yahtzee threads.
Couldn't agree with you more. The other day I saw one of his month old threads at the top of recent posts... it had almost a thousand replies, and they're always almsot the exact sam thing said constantly

I believe someone already posted that all threads have been done before in the same mannor as you,
I do believe he was banned because of it.

OT:
probably those threads that are like "I need help asking this girl/guy out but s/hes my best freind"
every time one f those happens, they and up getting rejected in the end.

or else
"Ive fallen in love with someone from the internet"
no,
no you have not.
if they dont know what you look like, then it isnt love.
you like words on a screen, not a person.
