Exactly. Thread title needs to be modified to include "Simpsons". People are going to start searching for "simpsons" in thread title, not see anything resembling an OT (other than locked thread), then make new threads in the future.Originally Posted by Scullibundo

Or you could do it the smart way and use your Subscriptions so you never HAVE to forget it. Even when I learn something new and am afraid of pushing old knowledge out of my head, like when I took that wine-making class.Exactly. Thread title needs to be modified to include "Simpsons".

That's great for the new people who create a Simpsons thread because they can't see one.Originally Posted by Professor Beef

Pornography thread title's second chance?!Exactly. Thread title needs to be modified to include "Simpsons". People are going to start searching for "simpsons" in thread title, not see anything resembling an OT (other than locked thread), then make new threads in the future.
Yo, yo! How's it hangin' everybody?
BTW Agreed on there needing to be Simpsons in thread title. It reminds me when someone named the Conan thread, "CONAW."

I was obviously referring to people who are looking for a Simpsons OT for their first time.
Worst. Title. Ever.
Which doesnt help those of us that actually use the "search titles only" part while looking for things, though.This thread is currently the top hit if you search the OT for "simpsons". Anyone that sees this thread and doesn't know what it is doesn't deserve to be here!
Wrong again, Gay Guide to NeoGAF!
Mom! Dad! Bart ran into a door frame and bit his tongue!
Wadth da hell is gointh on hergh?
Which is great if it's up top and fans catch it, terrible if they're trying to find it via search or don't consider the fact that it's being obtuse and using a reference rather than an actually useful title.Originally Posted by timetokill
Fans will know what this thread is about, riff-raff will be confused by it.
Best Grandpa quote ever? What's your favourite?
I personally like one of the first;"Long story short...is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling."
Best Grandpa quote ever? What's your favourite?
"I am disgusted with the way old people are depicted on television. We are not all vibrant, fun-loving, sex-maniacs. Many of us are bitter, resentful individuals who remember the good old days when entertainment was bland and innofensive. The following is a list of words I never want to hear on television again: 1. Bra; 2. Horny; 3. Family Jewels"
You could check the gajillion perfectly cromulent suggestions in the old thread.Originally Posted by ThoseDeafMutes
It's also going to be effectively invisible for people who don't get the reference. I'd like to see some kind of consensus as to what a new title could be, but I think it ought to be changed.
Well I mean we can stick with The Thompsons, but as a subtitle. I'm not going to go back 15 pages and tally votes or whatever. I'd like a general idea about whether people would be ok with that, or whether they'd prefer some alternative since that would ruin the joke.Originally Posted by MasterBalls

The Simpsons | The Thompson would lose the essence of the joke I think, so if a change is needed it probably should be changed completely.Originally Posted by ThoseDeafMutes

I call the Big One Bitey
ITT We post even MORE screens that showcase the visual charisma lost by modern Simpsons |OT2|
No Homers
It's a pornography thread. We were posting pornography.
Have no fears, we'll have GIFs for years.
Feels like I'm postin' NOTHING AT ALL!

I understand why you're not going with it though.
the simpsons |ot2| it's a pornography thread. we were posting pornography
or
the simpsons |ot2| it's a perfectly cromulent thread
i would prefer staying away from anything that comes across as negative- which is why i found 'don't cry for me' and 'die simpsons die' to be really poor choices.
The Simpsons |OT2| A Noble spirit embiggens the smallest man
or something to that effect. Certainly I don't think you can use The Thompsons as a subtitle, it loses all meaning then.
