Always good to hear your opinion 

So what was the point of the Ding Fries Are Done Post?  What information were you seeking?

Well you don't seek information in most threads. Just stories and oppinions about scratch.

Well you don't seek information in most threads. Just stories and oppinions about scratch. 

Example: Itunes Music Suggestions. (oppinons)
And the best story I heard on scratch yet. (story)

See, that's where we maybe have a difference of opinion.  To me, the forums are a place for sharing useful information, not for entertainment.  If your topic isn't stimulating some sort of discussion back and forth, then it turns into a chat topic or spam. 

Your topic would have seemed more structured (and likely would have been left open), if you had invited others to discuss songs they might have memorized, for instance.  There is an art to good conversation...and an art to good forum discussion as well

Well, I wouldn't say it's spam. Someone thinks it's interesting, then it's good that they posted it. Your not saying that all stories are spam. Are you?

If you just post a story, that isn't really giving much of a discussion... and it could possibly be considered as spam. But if you ask for people to share their stories and ask for opinions on your stories, it does give a discussion and will probably not be considered as spam.

Well then again, most of the threads in Misc aren't really that important. For example, my Xenotype threads, I think, can stay, because there are discussions in there that relate to scratch. ? I think.

I don't think there's such thing as a pointless reason. It just doesn't sound right to me.
And Paddle2See did have a reason to close the Ding Fries are Done. The thread didn't have any purpose, and there was no knowledge to be gained there. So it was pretty much spam.
