here is a link to a forum that is random w/o spam. http://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=1

here is a good example of random: "oh dang my cat ate 12 nails and hes ok. heres my story" or "most emberassing moments". Both of these are worth reading and are entertaining.

here is Spam: "bed" then u talk about going to bed. This is not entertaining to read. it just adds to the clutter of this HIGHLY active forum.

another example: "omg omg 570 posts" . once again this gets everyone no where. Please dont celebreate post numbers by starting a new thread. advertise it in an already existing thread. this isnt written concrete just some ideas.

Hehe - interesting stuff :) I unstuck it btw - didn't want the top of the forum to be littered with too many stickies! Maybe we can post some of our basic rules that we had previously and add this on to it?
