Posting Habits
 
I have just realized that I am second only to marleypumpkin in number of posts on the new board.

Good god, what is wrong with me? Why didn't anyone TELL me I was posting this prolifically?

Work is the worst - literally, I'm quite sure I've done a day's worth of work in the past three weeks.

By the way, I'm well aware of the irony in creating a new thread on this topic.

So, to make this relevant to everyone else, do certain posting habits irritate you? i.e. people who post frequently, people who post a lot of photos, people who post irrelevant comments, people who start silly threads (again, I'm aware of the irony)...?

Savage Clone 04.16.2006 10:27 AM

Signatures kinda bug me, but finding the sig block function took that away.

truncated 04.16.2006 10:38 AM

Posts that bug me, or rather, I don't understand: uninformative answers to questions.

An example, to clarify: A thread asking, "Has anyone seen Movie X?" which, I assume, is meant to encourage discussion on said movie.

Poster: Yeah, I saw that.

Thanks for that contribution. Was that really worth the effort you took to type it? I suppose I just don't see why one would bother with a post that isn't furthering that dialogue.

*Please keep in mind when I'm posting various opinions that I'm an asshole. I am unfair, hypercritical, hypocritical, rude, irritable, and generally unpleasant. Feel free to point these things out, but I assure you I am quite aware of them.

TheDom 04.16.2006 10:45 AM

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 04.16.2006 10:51 AM

We all post differently here. Honestly though I dont see how you have that much posts already. I don't see you in all that much threads,

Savage Clone 04.16.2006 10:52 AM

I have been guilty of this many times, but just listing off titles in a "what are you listening to" or a "recommend me some music" thread isn't always helpful when there's no info about what it sounds like, your reactions to it, etc.

I am as guilty of this as anyone, and will try a little harder in the future.

That's not exactly what I'm talking about - I didn't articulate it well, and I can't really find any examples.

Hold on, lemme look.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 04.16.2006 11:00 AM

I have one out there in the neil young thread.

"cool."

truncated 04.16.2006 11:04 AM

Haha, maybe that qualifies.

But typically, it's the same people that post in that manner. You don't fall under that category.

I don't know how I got that many posts either, I think chabib keeps altering my account to make me look bad.

maybe, maybe.

truncated 04.16.2006 11:06 AM

Ooh, example of pointless threads: one I started last week I think, "Help me lose my job." I mean, seriously. Who the fuck cares? I must've really plunged into the depths of boredom.

People like me piss me off.

A Thousand Threads 04.16.2006 11:07 AM

Fuck all the people who always use "fuck" and "fucking".
I fucking can´t stand those fuckers.

well,
i´m not funny
that´s my habbit

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 04.16.2006 11:09 AM

fuck is a great word.

truncated 04.16.2006 11:09 AM

The chabib thing is true to an extent - I'm sure I have my moments, but I didn't get THAT many negative rep points from posters.

Another question of curiousity: does anyone actually have the balls to deduct rep points from someone?

Gulasch Noir 04.16.2006 11:09 AM

not funny, but Donaufestival though?

Well, I just tried (since yesterday you told me "not to be a pussy"), but couldn't because I gave some rep points to you recently and have to "spread some rep around before giving it to you again."

Dammit.


(I do know someone who got points subtracted once though)

Gulasch Noir 04.16.2006 11:21 AM

A Thousand Threads 04.16.2006 11:23 AM

Actually, I meant that in a nice way, however convoluted it may have come out.

I don't remember you giving me rep points, but thanks :)

I know someone who got points subtracted too - me. And not by chabib. I will hold that individudal personally responsible when I go on my killing spree.

Gulasch Noir 04.16.2006 04:35 PM

Well, i have a couple of kiss ass net friends, but nearly everybody does, so i guess no big deal.

wrong? too many things to ennumerate. do you want the summary version or the extended one? the summary: everything. the extended i'm afraid is beyond my powers of typing

that was a sly move -- making your neuroses relevant to everyone in order to save face...

hah hah, sorry for that ***FUCKING FAILURE AT SPEAKING TONGUE IN CHEEK! SUXX ***-- seriously, your posts are awesome & i wish i was around more often this days so i could read all 33 per day (or something like that?). but if you are feeling guilty & want to channel your energies properly you should write a book. i bet it would be fucking hilarious. in the meantime, please keep helping this board rise above the merely banal into the realms of the unhinged.

even marilyn reads your posts in hell, she loves them

 
:(

marleypumpkin 04.17.2006 02:06 PM

Yeah, I'm not too proud of my post count. It shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Glice 04.17.2006 02:07 PM

Truncated gets a salute from me. And, if I hadn't just sold it for heroin, I would give you my viking helmet.

Here is a picture of me* in my viking helmet.

 



*Not actually me.

!@#$%! 04.17.2006 02:12 PM

what the fuck is wrong with me today? i was trying to be sarcastic but that's just not funny. the transition was wrong. so i'll be direct instead: you fucking rule this board. and i'm not sending any more spiders to attack your stronghold. and that's that.

RIPfrey05 04.17.2006 02:21 PM

im guilty of posting too many pictures of myself and bumping my own music threads (which everyone should check out, ahem.)

EDIT: had to take thast incriminating pic down...

truncated 04.17.2006 02:46 PM

!@#$%!, don't try to placate me because you think I'm imbalanced.
(No seriously, thanks - as you know you are one of my favorite posters.)

Likewise, Glice. And thanks anyhow for the helmet offer, but I've got my own.

 


That really is me.
Pre-op, anyhow.

Savage Clone 04.17.2006 02:53 PM

You look much better as a girl.

truncated 04.17.2006 02:54 PM

Except for that stubborn facial hair.

jon boy 04.17.2006 03:05 PM

signatures annoy me and it annoys me when someone dominates a thread so that you can hardly post anything. thankfully there have been no really offensive pictures on here yet and if there were any i am sure that habib would get rid. its just risky when i am at work to look at certain threads for fear of setting off someones pacemaker in the office from seeing a rude picture.

also, there have hardy been any trolls on here. i think the forum is just too big for them to fuck with anyone like when we were all crammed into the old one.

i did, but truth be told... you'd probably have the most positive points if i hadn't done that. it looks like yr a couple-hundred out of the hole i put you in.

truncated 04.17.2006 05:31 PM

I was referring to my number of posts - I didn't think I'd made that many.

And, I've lost my vagina dentata, and I'm back to cold hard sucka.

So to all of you who deducted from me

Suck a llama cock

Iain 04.17.2006 05:50 PM

Bring on the obscene pictures I say. I get sent fairly dodgy ones in work anyway...usually of scantily clad men soaping themselves up or something along those lines. I can't even begin to imagine why.

Glice 04.17.2006 05:52 PM

Do you work for a soap company?

Glice 04.17.2006 05:53 PM

Or perhaps a gay porn website?

Iain 04.17.2006 05:58 PM

Neither...I just seem to get sent a fair amount of pictures of men sent to me.

HaydenAsche 04.17.2006 06:02 PM

I was beating MarleyPumpkin for the first week. Sadly, I've been going outside and not spending hours on the computer now.

What teh fuck is wrong with me?

I only have 800 posts!!11 I'm a n00bz0rz?!!11
