They're strangling this forum at birth.
I started light-hearted thread a couple of weeks ago entitled "What Ever Happen To..." Which was supposed to be a bit of fun. I, stupidity it turned out, thought that posters would have the intellectual capacity to pick up on the general idea and add their own. Aztec bars, that sort of thing. But it instantly became a thread of Strangers puns. One thread gasping for air, killed before it took its second breath.
Like I've already said above, the occasional pun can be effective. Answer with one every time kills a thread stone dead.
Feel free not to answer with a pun . You're killing the forum.
