|  #1 Posted on 19.5.05 1058.46 | Instant Rating: 3.13 | In reference to this thread:
http://the-w.com/thread.php/id=25858 ("Arrested Development Renewed?")
which was posted after the fact of this thread:
http://the-w.com/thread.php/id=25819 ("ĄSOY LOCO POR LOS CORNBALLS!")
I understand where Monte would've been confused. Is there any way to encourage Ws that start threads to assign thread titles that are a little more specific as to their content?
(It was pointed out to me that both threads DID have the Arrested Development icon attached to them, which I feel like an idiot for not noticing, but still...thoughts?)

I like the DVDVR board's subtitle option. It makes the specific threads seem a bit more thought out. Consider if you will:
Example A: "Why does Wrestler A suck so much?"
Example B:"Wrestler A Why does he suck?"
It seems like more effort went into Example B than Example A, even if the intial post is just as inept.

I did not recognize that thread titles are like peak-a-boo and when I cover my eyes I disappear.  VANISH!

It certainly wasn't meant that way. I was merely making an observation and providing a suggestion to avoid something like that happening again, that's all.
And yes, I realize it was a line from the show (being a fan of it myself), and therefore read the thread, but it was more that I could see why people might have skipped it thinking it was something else entirely pertaining to the show that they might not have been interested in.
Edit - I meant "I didn't mean for Justin to take it as a criticism."
