Obviously I have to dip my toe in nearly all threads from time to time, but as an ordinary member what threads do you never bother clicking on?
Putting my Hoi Polloi hat on, if I had a choice the biggest ones to ignore would the:
Gaunt thread: Just let the cunt wither unloved and ignored on the (obviously very sturdy) vine. The Gaunt threads quadruple the attention he gets from the rest of the universe.
JWOTS: I have never listened to a minute of his show. I just have no interest in it or him. I don't dislike the man or have any opinion of his work other than it just doesn't interest me. He might be the greatest broadcaster since Dimbleby senior, Cronkite or Ed Murrow. Or he might be a dribbling sub-Quinn shyster almost Goldstein standard, I wouldn't know.
Gaming thread: Never played one that wasn't in a bar in the 1980s where you had to zap little aliens who advanced down slowly in rows. Ever. It seems a waste of thumbs.
Gaming is as alien (ha!) to me as kabuki, Irish dancing, pickling herrings or getting arrow poison from tree frogs. To me Fortnite is 'two weeks' spelled by a moron.
Tennis threads: See 'gaming' above.
Chess thread: No Asian lezzers anymore so not interested.
Talkforum threads you never bother with.

So you DO bother with rugby threads, then.
I must admit I’m disappointed. I expect more of you, fool that I am.

Re: Talkforum threads you never bother with.
Quite a few actually.
I pop in and out of the Gaunt thread now and again just to remind me how fanatical it is. Gaunt is the most absolute of chancers but I give him credit for at least having a go despite being a complete failure at everything while not knowing why.
The thread about Drive as it is basically the same as the Gaunt thread despite Durham being one of the best , if not the best wind up merchants for footie fans and head and shoulders above some more professional pundits in terms of knowledge about the game.
JWOTS as it's actually a decent show.
Say Something Uninteresting as I refuse to say anything that isn't.
It's mainly certain posters on the threads I like to joust with that draws me to them.
Anything about American football, cricket or tennis unless Tennisman does it. Tennisman is the Jack Bannister/ Bob Budka of posters who can make a boring sport interesting.
