Just check out the Cantina's first page and I don't think I need to do anymore explaining. I mean fun is fun but this is borderline spamming I think. The joke got old after the first time. It's neither funny nor witty anymore. [Unimpressed]

I definately agree.

Something needs to be done about this. Not just the "..... out" sort of threads, but the sort of copycat thread downpour that seems to infest the Cantina on an almost weekly basis. That sort of joke stopped bieng funny two years ago. Come to think of it, I've never found it funny. At all. It is of the upmost annoyance and I'd like to see it end.

I really wouldn't like to see the Cantina to turn into a mirror image of *shudder* a Yahoo chat room.

I think it's more a case of people being amazingly uncreative than it is spamming. The joke got old after the first time it was done.

I bet if I go through and edit every single thread by replacing the word "out" with the word "Tank", you guys would be drooling like Pavlov's dogs all over the place.

Unfunny threads tend to die quick, natural deaths if you let 'em. Just find or create funnier threads, and support those. Show the unfunny people what "funny" looks like, so they'll know what it looks like when "funny" eventually bites 'em all in the heinder.

Let's see:

Making Tank.

Tank, Tank, Tank,.. what is this Tank?

Acting Tank.

Selling Tank.

Eating Tank.

Coming Tank.

Found Tank.

Working Tank.

What's with all these Tank threads around...(okay, but you know that one would have popped up)

Uh, we're talking about The Mos Eisley Cantina, not The Tank, er, Lando System. [Confused] [No-No]

Unlike a certain Virtual Hot Dog Stand... that will never get old... right, people?
