Forth one in a week. Pretty sad actually. Sad indeed.
These threads make up the meat and potatoes of the level 20 twinking section. Besides the stickies, how many threads offer any actually useful in game TWINKing INFOrmation one the first page? One or two maybe...
Let's see, we have a thread dedicated to whining and crying(the second one in fact), one dedicated to music, three about this very subject, an @ thread, two SS threads, one asking for pictures of yourself, and the list goes on and on. Most of this crap has NOTHING to do with level 20 twinking and therefore does not belong in this section. It belongs in the tavern. SS and knowing what people look like or what music they are listening to does not make my level 20 a better twink. Where are the jump videos? Where are the enchant exploits that TI used to be known for?
It has degraded to shaved metrosexuals sharing pictures of themselves and who knows what else they have been sharing.

Just to share my perspective, I think that in the three major forums (10-19, here, and 20-29) there has built such a community around those brackets that inevitably a large portion of the posts are going to be non-informational. You all know that historically I am a very large supporter of the idea of community-building, so threads that appear to me to be building--or in some cases, healing--the community, I will generally allow.
This thread in my opinion is one of those threads. Because of all the major drama in the last couple of days, I feel like a lot of people had tension and anxiety built up regarding the contentious forces that divide the community. This thread pokes fun at those tensions, and is serving as an emotional release and a chance to bond again, to remind ourselves that by and large, we are one relatively happy community and that our friendships can endure and diminish the problems that inevitably arise from having so many different personalities all mashed together in one place.
So yeah, I'm sympathetic to the needs being expressed here, and I'll allow it.
