most pointless thread in the history of POTN
The point of this thread is to celebrate stupid pointless threads. I will list a few ways in which these threads sometimes begin.
1) Does a lens need a filter? 2) which is the best focal length to shoot at? 3) Which is best to assess sharpness, an 800 percent crop or a 400 percent crop? 4) Do you need to buy a camera body to take a picture with the lens? Allright, I really need to get a life. If you would like contribute to this nonsense please feel free. |

Re: most pointless thread in the history of POTN
10) http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=290601
It originated at browsing through the Sell/Buy forums, and some WTBs were actually quite unrealistic (Say WTB 1DIII plus 600mm f4 for $600 Shipped). So I came up with this Monty-Pythonesque WTB of my own. I am quite Happy ruling my people now, and I have heard Fidel is quite jealous of me... Is this not stupid enough? PAAAARDDOOOOOONNE MMMMOOOOIIIII !!!

Re: most pointless thread in the history of POTN
I do enjoy the "what mode do you shoot with?" And the "What ISO do you use?" threads, I enjoy them so much I have started logging onto Car forums and asking people which gear they drive in. (that is transmission of course not snazzy threads
)

Re: most pointless thread in the history of POTN
Personally, I find it amusing that it doesnt matter just how stupid or pointless the thread, someone (usually multiple people) always respond.
What does that say exactly? I'm interested to know just how pointless and meaningless a thread has to be before people just dont respond. |
