The gifs lose their meaning after about the 500th one with no trade. It is like that one person said, nothing ever happens.
If people want to have fun with them that is fine. But they are treated like gospel on here. And you are not even allowed to ask what they mean or if they are legit by some users.

I’m positive that 99% of the people who enjoy them see them as fun and not “gospel”. But maybe I’m wrong.

I mean if people understood statistics, they’d realize that the hit rate is so low it’s statistically irrelevant. Meaning anyone guessing randomly would have just as much chance of predicting a trade correctly.

When Andersson actually gets traded, there will be a separate thread on it. If you can't handle the speculation and reporting on basic pre trade talks, don't go in this thread.

This isn't the thread for speculation and reporting on pre trade talks.
This is the "Post a Gif and Guess What it Means" thread

Wouldn't it be easier to create a new rumors thread specifically for gifs and folks who are interested responding to them? This way everyone is happy.

We should just restrict the access to this thread for those who wish to do nothing more than complain/bash and insult people.
Then they can find their rumour's on a "e5 - better" website that suits their needs.

I'd way rather see the gifs from someone who has heard something they want to share than the 1,252,845th post about how it's a huge failure if Kadri isn't traded.

Trade Kadri. What an organizational failure. We must bottom out, we are stuck in the mushy middle.

You prefer the discussion between the tank and retool crowds?
