How about instead of doing that, we just divide the ratings system by 0, therefore removing the thread from exist-

So 1/x?

1 out of our final ratings system, be it 5, 10, 17, ln, e, pi, or what ever else you'd like. About the only think I don't believe I could accept would be the square root of i.

I don't think there's been more than 5-6 posts of actual discussion tops

How about e^(i*2*pi*x)?

That way, games can be so awful, they come all the way back around to being awesome.

Alternatively, they can be like World of Warcraft. So awesome that they wreck your personal life and circle back around to being terrible because of it.

e/x+3-748*3.1415x³³-235908.34/5³ out of √(π)*74/3²

Seriously though, how did my crap thread reach 6 pages of stupid jokes about ratings?

Hey, the one I posted was a real number.

OK, actually it is an equation for a complex number, but still!

But that's not even a complicated number. That's equivalent to (e^(pi*i))^(2*x), which simplifies to (-1)^(2*x), which, assuming x is an integer, simplifes to 1.
