Whilst I realise the intention of this post is ideally humourous for all intentions and to some extent I can see the funny side, It does however cause some concerns with me about wether it is setting a dangerous prescidence in potentially ridiculing people's belief's whatever they may be.

As a Christian this post in itself seems disrespectfull as a result by me personally.

Hmm im a Christian and i thought it was really funny referring to Skadi as ***** and all that, i did not find it offensive.


Then again its hard to insult me



Now the "meme incident"...............................

If you've never seen Dogma, I might be more concerned- because it's pretty much a straight pitch on Buddy Jesus from the movie.

I think the point at which the thread became completely self-referential was the death knell.
Now it's less of a "Beta Meme Thread" and more of a "Beta Meme Thread Regulars Beta Hangout Thread."
I confess, I've more than contributed to the noise to signal ratio of the thread.

But as the game becomes more and more stable, and fewer and fewer major (and humorous) bugs are located, the opportunities for humor become less and less. Back in the heyday of the thread, we could all laugh at the lag shield and the huge CT on the Dragon and headshotting the Atlas with an untouchable Jenner. Now we're falling back on religious and political memes and trying to make them vaguely fit Battletech - let alone MechWarrior Online - and it's really become almost sad. Humor is like a fart - if you have to force it, it's probably ****.

This was a great thread, and I enjoyed it immensely over the course of its lifetime. But I think it might be time to let it die a natural death rather than digging up the corpse repeatedly in the hopes of getting a few more laughs.

At the very least, we shouldn't be afraid to let it drop off the bottom of the page until we have something really funny to post, instead of spamming it with pointless memes and self-referential in-jokes that, quite honestly, aren't that funny.

It's been fun, Meme Thread.
But I think it's time to say good night.

I want to see a BattleTech:WarShip Commander game.
I get the feeling that would be over 50 times as epic as piloting a mech.
Enemy mechs took over a small city?
NAC it from orbit.
Incoming enemy forces threatening the capital?
NAC their command center.
NAC EVERYTHING!

NAC? H-NPPC are better. Calling down lightning from the sky...

Im not gonna sit here and offend you, the post as untirely unserious, and if you know where that head comes from i photoshooped onto it, your better off going to the source of that picture and saying something about it, because trust me, to christians that picture should be FAR more offending.
