No 3d6 is totally munchkin. You can have 25 point buy threads but must choose to spread them amongst the seven days of the week as you like.

Are point-buy message threads broken?

Once again... (sigh)
This thread didn't raise any questions or issues about the FORUMs, guys. It was a topic about topics, specifically the topics being repeated over and over again in a very broad forum. The satire was intended to point out the redundancy of certain message threads.
By its very nature, *this* thread would have taken up less space than the dozen of attribute point-buy threads on the main board, and it MAY have prompted at least a few people to reevaluate and refocus their energies into other topics.
Instead, I've been bumped away from the original content that spawned this, and into a forum about forums. This thread would have been much more focused, and no more silly, than the Hivemind meanderings.
That being said...
Well, nevermind. The thread has been moved and what's done is done. Complaints and whining serve no good purpose other than to hear myself complain and whine.
I bow humbly now to your decisions and administrative power.

Is it a matter of being self-referential? Or any topic that makes reference to another thread sorta bumps itself up to a "meta" level?
Now it's a logic puzzle. I like puzzles.
So, let's say we've got something like, "Rangers are broken." Pretty standard fare. No problem.
But later we get the topic, "Why we keep asking if rangers are broken." That thread would probably be bumped to this forum, right?

Ah, I tricked him into a response!
But Mr. Dog (may I call you Dinkle for short?), I didn't write anything "about the boards" in my original thread. Nada. Zilch. As far as I'm concerned, the boards are running fine and dandy.
I wrote something about another message thread. Uh-huh. Can't argue that. Clearly poking fun at other threads, NOT the forum.
So?...

Threads are components in a forum. Therefore, it can be argued that a thread about a thread is, by it's very nature, also about the forums.
