The Random Thread Button

Hello everyone,

I posted a thread not to long ago, and I honestly wanted to post it in a "suggestions" thread, but alas, I'm still figuring out everything on the site and couldn't find one (so if it exists sorry for not posting this there).

I had an idea about a button that you could click on at the top of each thread that would just bring you to a random, recent thread. Kind of like the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on google. I enjoy browsing the titles of all the threads but sometime's I'd like to just bounce around and read thread after thread and not have to sift through titles.

Maybe this makes me sound a little lazy or whatever but I think it would be a good addition to ATS. If not, that's fine too, I still love this place.

Anyway, thanks for your time.

P.S. Sorry if this is kind of a duplicate thread. To be honest if the mods are going to delete one please delete the other one. This is the old one.

It's a very good suggestion. Hopefully the staff will take it on board and have a discussion. I don't imagine it would be too difficult to implement, but that's up to the admins I guess.

Thanks I hope so too. And yes it is up to the admins, but hopefully they agree with us.

Neat idea...

They could label the button "Down the Rabbit Hole" with a smaller caption below denoting (view random threads).

i actually like this idea, there are days were im not sure what i want to look at and could do with a random post button to see what comes up, would make browsing ats pretty interesting some days lol

Thanks everyone I'm glad you all agree!

Honestly...it would be nice to have my toliet right at the end of my bed...but is it practical? Even though you said as much.

I would rather pick my topic in Real time Current Events....

Anyways....I laughed so hard when you said...." please delete the other one " hahahaha

I gotta ask....why? And I'm totally being lite hearted here....Geez for some reason it just hit me as soo funny and cute!!!! LoL

I dunno just figured they wouldn't two of the same threads?

At least you think I'm cute

NoooOOOOoooOOO!!! I already click a thread and half of the responses have nothing to do with the OP and are pretty random. Im NOT going to utilize a button that will confuse and frustrate me more than I already am..

Nahh seriously though, like the other person said.. " Down the Rabbit Hole" ... it has a certain doomtard charm to it.

It could be in the shape of the "blue pill" from The Matrix (or whichever one he takes)
