    Personally, I think the cat pics are a way of saying we're not taking you seriously anymore, or we're not listening to you now. It can be mocking/parodying a user or such. I suppose it depends.

    Seriously? Because pictures of cats are the most abundant resource the internet has.

    rory, it could as wel be pictures of different kinds of tea cups. Cat pictures are just the trend that has taken hold of the internet right now, it will pass in a couple of months (except for a few devotees) and something else will take it's place.

    Personally while I love caturday, I'm hoping for a bit of a resurgance in the Hoff pics.

    With a thread title like "Pictures of cats" it simply cannot be avoided. It's not to say you're being annoying in this instance.

    the posting of cat pictures means the poster is a nerd. the 'funnier' the cat pic the nerdier the poster basically. Every cat picture posted ups these peoples virtual rep while also bringing down their real life rep. As Karl has helpfully illustrated. He is a legend of boards but can hardly leave the house for the nerd attacks.

    That sounds like a challenge...

    Very well, I accept!


    Also, with reguards to the Hoff, his popularity has weighned because he likes dogs:

    Cats are popular now, so the Hoff takes the unfair brunt of this trend.

    Sure most of my posts are in the various sporty and motor forums, yours are in harry potter, discworld, games and computers (i'm assuming).
    Nerdalicous!

    Have never posted a catpic though, is your record as clean??

    Another post of Hoff, and I'll glue a cat head to Hoffs body, or the other way around...

    I've just gone blind after that last Hoff pic, as soon as I regain my sight I'm banning you from the universe for making me suffer such horror at this hour of the morning.
