an ancient evil that has awoken
also there's an official definition:
>>>/vg/rules/1
>..."general" threads, which are long-term, recurring threads about a specific topic.
Most anons try to start generals just by making a topic and adding "general" to the end of the subject, but they usually fizzle out because you can only have so many recurring threads about the state of new jersey before it becomes boring even for the posters. I learned the hard way when you actively try to remove them, they actually have a better chance of sticking. My advice is unless we get the WEAPONS FREE from hiro, to ignore them if there's no superseding mod decisions.
theyre still gross and i dislike that they go against the spirit of the site. but thems the rules
