/thread

[Bliss]

I don't remember ever seeing anyone do it to be honest. It would annoy me though as it shows arrogance.

[Obsessiforge]

Guys, this discussion has gone on for WAY too long. I think the original question has been answered; yes, we all think its arrogant! alright?

alright?!

alRIGHT! good, glad we got that sorted out.

/thread.

...DAMMIT!

[ExpectantlyIronic]

I prefer /wrists. That one makes me giggle. /thread just makes me want to post something to the thread its in, but then I never have anything to add, and have to admit to myself that the thread probably should be over. I'm pretty sure it just means, "this thread is ****ing retarded, okay?", though. I guess its more polite than saying that. At least a little.

*Newbies note to self*
Do not respond after a /thread, and for foobys sake DON'T BRING BACK OLD THREADS (zoikes I feel like I'm learning manners all over again) hehehehehe

[Envy]

It only annoys me when the person who says it is blatantly wrong.

And that does happen quite a bit as well. Unfortunately with staff sometimes. (I'm not referring to this forum, though!)

[Cait]

I think I've used /rant before. I know I use it on aim and other IMs. I think the whole /thread thing is really irritating because it feels like someone is trying to say that all that they said the only thing that matters and that it basically sums up what happened.

yeah I think it's fine for stuff like that, or even funny when used in jest. Mostly it's a little stoopid, though.
