How Many Silly or Pointless Threads Can We Fit on Page One?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It should be obvious that this is one. But there are others, in case you hadn't noticed...latest count is 10.

With the old forum we could go even higher.

Has there been a thread on page one that wasn't silly or pointless?

We know this because we live in a state where Winter is defined by dates and nothing else.

Unfortunately ... the max you can fit on one page is 30. In the good ol' days before this forum change we could fit at least 50, perhaps more. But the "new and improved" forum only allows us a max of 30 thread. It's one of their exciting new features.

You guys should be grateful that you have a page one full of pointless and useless threads. My other buddies at the MTB forum haven't seen a new thread in weeks. Except to discuss why the forum is dying of course.
