Is today Vanity-palooza on FR?
Free Vanities | 11/03/2008 | Vanity Central

Posted on 11/03/2008 12:35:13 PM PST by cll

Did someone ordered a surge in vanities and I missed it. It seems there's new one posted every five minutes today.

Ironic, ain’t it, that you’d post a vanity to complain about vanities? ?

You’re right. And now we have to “Digg” it. Some of the n00bs just haven’t grasped the concept of this forum.

I complained about all the “Digg it”’s and was told if the soldiers could fight in Iraq, we could click on a link.

Whatever that is supposed to mean.

Please help!!!!

I wouldn’t mind the Digg threads so much if they would at least post some text that relates to the thread title. Instead, all you get is high-pressure to go to another site.

(as yes, I AM a curmudgeon)

It's been going on for weeks. I think Jim puts up with it so people can vent.

I predict after tomorrow, he'll put an end to these things.

People are nervous. Need to vent. Now the DIGG crap I don’t know. As far as noobs, some will stay some will go. Hopefully some will help us pay the rent around here.

At least most of these vanities have had substance and have been categorized correctly..

One way to avoid vanities is keep your viewing to the "News" thread.

I just washed six pairs of socks along with the rest of my laundry this evening.

I was about to post a vanity announcing that.

My question is, should it be in Breaking News, you think?

I thought about posting one my self but, I really don’t know what I could add that hasn’t already been said a thousand time here on FR and elsewhere.

PRAY, RAISE YOUR VOICE, and if you haven’t yet, VOTE.

No prob. A vanity will still pop up on occasion but not near as many as viewing the All of The Above page.

The “digg” thing is nothing more than a pissing contest with the morons over at DU. It has no business on FreeRepublic.

So why is it being allowed here? Very curious.

To me it’s nothing more than spam. I’ve complained about it but nothing is being done.

Not even going to speculate...I just see it as a distraction and unprofessional component of FR.

Only if all the sox came out of the dryer with their mates. Otherwise, it belongs in Religion.
