What's with BBMBers and their overdramatic thread titles?

[hitmonlee]

Every second week it seems like someone is getting a divorce or being broken up with or some kind of heartbreak and then
the next week they are all NAH ITS GOOD and then two weeks later there's another thread suggesting it is all over?

Hopefully I won't have to post the latter part of that.

The level of anonymity probably pays a big part in this, it's easy to speak to people on here about these things.

[hitmonlee]

i'm thinking they try and make overdramatic titles for maximum readers and people replying. if they told the truth, the threads would not get glanced at.

thoughts?

Well I recently made a thread called 'so I'm single again' so I suppose I'm partially guilty but I didn't overdramatise things or at least to me it didn't seem that way.

I suppose a glamorous thread title is yearning for replies...I mean whats the point of making a thread if no ones going to reply? :D

I just had dirty thoughts about Knuckle's beard and think I may be a lesbian.

Everytime I see him in his lycra I get depressed and jealous and abuse myself by clipping my toenails.

Me neither...but I want in on it!

if you're gonna call people out, you should have some examples ready.

I like dramatic thread titles, I think they're fun and funny. unless they're about something really sad. then that sucks.

me too. I'm a melodrama junkie. and I excell at being melodramatic. and I like the word melodramatic BETTER than "overdramatic".

[jabumbo]

are things being fun and funny two different things?

[Echewta]

A thread title is like a magazine cover. It has to lure you in. Basic marketing, come on now.

[Dorothy Wood]

are things being fun and funny two different things?

yes. I don't necessarily laugh at fun things. I laugh at funny things though.

nono, see this way the people that are doing it that i haven't yet noticed will also fall within the catchment. if i listed people they would think oh i'm fine.

things aren't quite fine so you'll not get an everything's ok now thread from me.

I'm just riding it out for the three months her inlaws are here, under the circumstances that since they've been here for over 90 days and 90 more, they will pitch in half the rent. Don't care if my wife has to pay, I'm just not paying all to feel unhappy and cramped.

After her parents leave, we'll see how we feel when things are back to normal. If things don't work out then we've both agreed that we're not comparable for each other.

So yeah, if this is directed towards me, it's my two cents.

Uh I'm pretty sure this thread has not affected the naming of any threads and I doubt it will...

[hitmonlee]

again, LOL @ the irony of you telling me to get a life, by posting on a messageboard :D

lopp: didn't say it has, didn't say it will :confused:
ITS A FUCKING DISCUSSION, MORAN

[ericlee]

so what is it? You're calling people out and I'll step up to the plate if I know it's me and you skip over our posts.

I mean, drama is the new thing in my life so I'd better get used to it. Start by writing mini drama novels here and then going to have my nuts kicked with high heels while watching a chinese version of the young and the restless.

You implied it...don't try to back peddled now sister. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the effort to stir things up a bit but if you’re gonna do then do it with some guts….ps is “Moran” a good or bad thing?
