To each his own, let people post what they want, its harmless and if it bugs people so much then dont click on the thread. It is a simple concept really.
Actually is was just one person and like 20 people jumped down her throat for 4 pages which I kind of found hilarious. Anyways, I'm all for people having a good time and in fact a good community will create memes for their games on a regular basis which bolster the ranks. If clever and original enough, someone from an outside perspective will want to learn more about the game just to get the joke. (See: Heck the bed)

An example of this is Tribes: Ascend. The latest sequel to the Tribes franchise. The players of that game created a metric barge full of memes relating to inside jokes and ongoing themes from the other games. It surged the player base and actually helped cultivate their standing numbers. Memes can be a good thing, if you take the time to make them.

This though..... is just bad. Rehashing of years old macro images that half the people are not even using in the correct context. Yes context is everything. It is the reason they were funny in the first place. I'm not saying don't have fun. I'm just imploring people to step back and appreciate the idea of what makes memes funny. A big part is creating your own.
