These forums are only horrible if you have no sense of humour.
I have to disagree with you there. Waffle is a great example of a good noob. I have yet to see him post something uninteligent, and he’s a new arrival to the forums.
Also, I shall destroy your puny thought police!
There’s also a Simarillion allusion in there. How literary.
Also, this is one of the nicest, most strictly moderated forums that I have visited. That being said, I do avoid “official” forums because those cunts never have any sense of humor.
I dunno about “nice,” but I stay here because the idiots make me laugh. I think “funniest” would fit better.
Good noobs prefer to be called new members or newcomers. True n00bs are exactly like the ones seen in comics like Attack of the Noobs and The Post Wars: Part 2.
The forums are very nice, if you can take overwhelming deadpan humor and overuse of sarcasm, which anyone in their right minds should be able to.
The premise of this thread is like a rimjob.
The execution of this thread is like buttrape.
Most people new to a game or forum, will either be clueless or a general asshole. There is way too much destroying the nicer newbies due to annoying…but not deliberate faults of their own.
Of course it is funny…and they do frustrate me.
Quoted for the fucking win!
Quite a while, now that I think about it… scratches head
Oh hai! Glad to see you’re back!
Long time no see, Waffle. [COLOR=‘Red’]I’m moving this to off-topic, since it really has nothing to do with the mod.
Also Black Op, if you carry through any of your nonsense about destroying noobs and such, don’t expect to get away with it unpunished. If someone does something wrong, report them and we’ll deal with it, flaming them just compounds the problem.
Oh my god, the truth.
Sorry to bring back something from one whole page ago, but I think 90% of Raminator’s posts as far as I’ve seen are right after a post involving the word “masturbate” or any of its forms.
It’s like the Bat-Signal, but different and stickier.
What is this?
The week of noobs calling Veterans who have returned noobs?
Do your research nubs.
I’m sure they’d find it hard to research if they’ve arrived post-crash as none of the relevant posts would exist.
First person Terminator Gears of War mod.
I’m not just saying that because I’m working on it (kinda) either.
This doesn not change the fact that BMS is fucking awesome.
…Understand…
I’ve been following this forum for about a year now, myself, though I almost never post anywhere except the occasional off-topic thread. I guess I want to see how long I can go with a miniscule post-count. Or something like that.
While I see a pretty regular procession of Typical Internet Dickery, what keeps me coming back is the really twisted sense of humor (and irony) that turns up all the time. I’ve lost count of how many memes I’ve been exposed to just from reading the Laugh You Lose thread (which I check daily).
You get enough people in any public spot online and you’re going to see some jackassery. I’ve been online way too long to take serious offense at it. I just apply a grain of salt, imagine the person posting that sort of tripe as doing so while wearing a bear-suit (which makes it even funnier), and move on.
Oh, and to test Verde Flash’s theory:
Masturbation.
Let’s see if it works.
Holy shit it’s like a dog-whistle.
