I tend to avoid Dopefest followup threads for the fests I didn’t attend - it bums me out that I couldn’t go. I generally avoid post party threads. I never understood the appeal, and they have become a lot more uncommon lately. ---

Been there, done that, wrote the book, went on tour, made the movie, collected money, died. I don’t need to read it more than once to understand _traffic sucks!_ ---

Kitty or Puppy threads. You can’t figure out what to name your puppy? You think it’s oh so cute that your kitty cat hid chipmunk brains in your sock drawer this morning? OK, whatever, it doesn’t interest me. Sports threads. Threads about movies and TV shows that I don’t watch. Threads in Great Debates about whether or not God exists. I’ll find out soon enough. ---

Sports. ::yawn:: Most Celebrity threads. Couldn’t care less. Ditto TV or movie threads involving shows/films I don’t/haven’t watched. Cutesy pet threads. Vanity threads (It’s My Birthday! My Billionth Post! Which Doper Has The Bestest Whatever? blah blah blah) Most sex threads. Get a room. Threads about how slow the SDMB is. Yeah, we know. Help speed things up by _not wasting bandwidth complaining about the speed._ Game threads; “Ask The _Insert Know-It-All Here_”; “In Which _Someone_ Does _Something_” And…uh…any threads started by that asshole SPOOFE. Sorry, SPOOFE, I couldn’t resist. 😉 ---

Most TMI threads, and threads about threads I refuse to click on. Usually I’ll just read whatever sounds interesting, I don’t have guiding principles about it. ---

Most threads on Peadophillia, just disturbing. ---

There’s no thread I won’t click on. I’m such a whore. ---
