I think they missed your point, AND what is the point? - see message

Someone throws a word out and people respond back with a phrase that has that word in it. Kind of a waste of time, so I don't "play". Actually playing is not a right word because it's not even a game. There used to be some good conversations, all I see now is post after post after post of one word then people responding back with something with that word in it. I responded once....borrring...., and why? Besides, do you know how many words are in the English language? Ohhhh how I think this is going to go on forever. Oooh, think, maybe I should post that word (think), no better yet how about going, or to, or go, or on, or forever, etc, etc, etc.

If that is what people get their kicks out of I think that's really sad. I've got more things to do. Guess the days are gone of just regular posts anymore. Kind of tough to pick out conversations between the one word posts.

Oops...should have also said in my message - see message

Just to make it clear so there is no hissy fits. No way in my message was I saying people were not allowed to post the one word posts and others replied. Of course everyone is free to do what they want. All I was saying that (to me - can't speak for everyone else), it's just boring and a waste of time so I don't post. But it's also difficult to find posts that don't have the silly one word in it because they get lost between the one word posts. But for me there is way too many things going on in my life to spend time replying, but for everyone that enjoys simple word replies have fun.

seriously? it's hard for you to pick out the other posts? - maybe you should stick with the one-worders!

Reply - your message doesn't make sense - see message

[ In Reply To ..]
When you have to scroll down through reply after reply after reply after reply, not difficult, just plain ol annoying. Good messages get lost in the one-worders.

And since one-worders are boring, why would I stick with them? Doesn't make sense. But then again my message was more than just a "one worder" so that might be why you didn't understand.

of course it does - cut it out and look for the big blue stars

[ In Reply To ..]

If you read my other message....duh! - oh, were you trying to be funny too?

[ In Reply To ..]
Your attempt at humor failed. I see my reply of more than one word was too confusing.

they're the ones with the BIG BLUE stars, dear. - <------- flush left margin... NM

[ In Reply To ..]
I guess you ARE tired.

I know that..- oh sorry, were you trying to be funny? - Do try to follow along, dear

[ In Reply To ..]
I know that must be hard since my messages were more than one word, but the message is really easy to understand.

yet, you DID spend time replying in spite of yourself - and then you went on and on

[ In Reply To ..]

Yup, did spent the time - how very observant of you - Technically, it was not a reply - see message

[ In Reply To ..]
Well at least now I know more people know how to read more than one word. Technically though it was an addition, not a reply (i.e. "should have also said"). That's how you can tell it's not a reply, so guess I take that back. Guess more than one word at a time is too difficult for some to understand.

Thinking the same thing - Boring me, too

[ In Reply To ..]
A Gab board is to gab, right? How about some stimulating conversation instead of pages of word games.

so go ahead...say something stimulating - nm

blah blah blah something stimulating

What on earth are you saying?? - ...

[ In Reply To ..]
You're right. It would be impossible for anyone to understand what the heck you are saying.

What in the world does a word game have to do with your friend's granddaughter flipping out?

Her post wasn't supposed to have anything to do with the word game. That was her point; It was something DIFFERENT. Geez.

point? - ...

Maybe it's me; I just could not understand this remark:

"Word games are all fun and games and who are you who deal with the real world."

Stimulating...that would be anything but potato, cheese, doctor, space, - Pool, blanket, butter, something, heater, etc, etc

Pennsylvania raffle drawing tonight. Four one million dollar prizes, four $100,000 dollar prizes, one hundred $1,000 prizes and I think almost six thousand $100.00 prizes. I'll be watching the drawing with several tickets purchased in my hand. If I win, that will be STIMULATING. (see below)

Stimulating:
Winning Lottery.

There's a raffle drawing in my state, too. Grand prize is 7 million with some million and thousand dollar winners and probably some $100 prizes. I agree, now that would be stimulating. Good luck to us! :)

I'm just glad they moved them off the Main Board because they are boring to me - and I usually do not come to the Gab Board

[ In Reply To ..]
So I'm happy that they are here, and not where I usually hang out.

And yet here you are - Dog to a Bone

I think they're about the lamest thing I've seen on these boards yet. I hope they soon run their course.

I can't imagine anyone being bored enough to be amused by that drivel.

Problem Is... - JT

[ In Reply To ..]
The problem is, discussions get pushed away really fast with this type of word game. I actually don't read or participate much on this board anymore, discussions are gone in a flash. I think everyone should entitled to enjoy themselves, so maybe they need a game forum here on mtstars.

Any legitimate post gets pushed to page 2 - Agree!

[ In Reply To ..]
Maybe these nonsensical word games should go on the Comedy Stop since apparently someone finds them amusing.

Word Games - JT Again

[ In Reply To ..]
Hey, I'm not cutting down those who are having fun. I'm just saying they take away from discussions, so they need their own game forum or something. To each his own, no reason to cut down someone's sense of humor.

I agree - SM

[ In Reply To ..]
It's just boring to a lot of us, and it takes up way too much space on the board. They definitely should be able to play games if they choose; however, in another forum.

One of my favorite games is Family Feud, - but I don't think "game" really

[ In Reply To ..]
applies to this new, strange phenomenon on this message board. It is more like free association, something like a shrink might do with a mentally ill or neurotic person.

I thought the exact same thing!! - Trampled underfoot

"Say the first thing that pops into your mind...."

I think a forum just for this kind of thing would be nice - Jessi

[ In Reply To ..]
Because I actually lost an entire thread I was reading lol

It's not that I'm too stupid to find it but it was RIGHT THERE, you know what I mean?

And I love games as much as the next person, like "Three words and three words only" or "Bakers Dozen", I'm a big fan of wasting time and bandwith with thread games. I agree they have their place. But someone find that fudge...

Excellent observation - couldn't have said it better - also, like another poster said....

[ In Reply To ..]
Discussions get pushed down so fast. Not everyone is interested in reading post after post of word associations. Then when someone is asking a question or writing about a situation they are going through, asking about a recipe or whatever it's easy to miss or it's gone before we get a chance to read.

Why don't we just do a flat tax. That will eliminate the loopholes. Simple and easy...probably why they won't do it though.
