 Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2008 11:04 pm Post subject: Typical forum "humor". Ugh. |
 |
|
This isn't something I've noticed very much on WrongPlanet, but I'm a member of other forums, and I run into this all the time.
Members, especially those who have been members for years, "tease" one another and always attach icons like these:
   
" uh oh John has an axe better start runnin Hahehadhehehoiewuow47509w"
An example of the spirit of these sorts of messages.
It's f***ing annoying. I know how to tease, and I'll be arrogant in saying that most forum people just suck at it. At least on WrongPlanet a lot of playful messages have some sophistication to them.
And then you have threads ABOUT a veteran member in a "humorous" air, with all his friends coming in to post dumbass messages and lame attempts at humor that only make we want to throw up. UGH! It plagues the internet.
Anyone else find this annoying? |

| I'm with you, V4der, can't stand that stuff. It's the main reason I don't really post on other forums. |

what the OP was talking about seems to be jokes referring to people past actions on forums. Though there is said dick-sucking, cliques and bullshit social orders on many sites
also see:

Whether through virtue, contributions, force of personality or sheer longevity certain forum participants will rise to form an aristocracy. While it is generally taboo to openly acknowledge the class distinctions, the hierarchy is well understood by all. While for the most part the Royals rule with magnanimity, they will not tolerate impertinence from the hoi polloi. It is their habit to remain aloof from petty squabbles among their subjects, but when full-scale war breaks out their intervention can be decisive. |

| Quote: |
Cyber Sisters are an extremely fierce confederation of fighting females who act something like a shrill Greek chorus, echoing and amplifying one another's voice until their foes retreat in disarray. They are generally leaderless, but anyone who challenges one Cyber Sister can expect to be savagely attacked by the others. Only the most powerful and battle-hardened of Warriors is strong enough to weather a Cyber Sisters attack. |

and
| Quote: |
A Swarm hive is almost impossible to detect. When a hapless victim stumbles on a forum that houses a Swarm and disturbs it with an offending message, the Swarm will erupt and fly at their victim from all directions. Taken one at a time the irrelevant, often mindless individual attacks can be easily brushed aside, but because of the sheer volume of the assault even the strongest Warriors must eventually yield. WARNING: Only those who are highly skilled in Swarm management techniques should attempt to wade into a Swarm hive. but even with protective clothing opposing Warriors should expect to suffer a few stings.

For Coffee Klatch the discussion forum is a social gathering - like Mah Jong or Wednesday morning canasta club. Coffee Klatch prefers a friendly, chatty environment and almost always limits her participation to non-technical forums. Whether inadvertently or by design, Coffee Klatch prepares the battlefield in her favor by making it soggy with pleasant, but vapid messages - her favorite phrase often being, "thanks for sharing". This renders the battlefield rather slow going for swifter and more powerful Warriors. CAUTION: If war does break out she will shed her benign facade and attack mired Warriors without remorse.

Android doesn't anger, nor does he engage in actual combat, rather he will merely point out the logical inconsistencies of other Warriors. Irony and sarcasm are completely lost on Android, and being impossible to insult or injure in any way, he is invulnerable to conventional attack. If, for example, someone were to call him a pinhead, he would get out a tape measure and after finding that his cranium falls within normal size specifications Android would dismiss the comment as erroneous. Android's circuits are not equipped to process ambiguous or aesthetic input, consequently any extensive discussion involving personal feelings, intuition, art and metaphorical allusions will quickly drive Android from the field of battle.

It even looks like me.
That's a hilarious site. |

I don't mind that personally. I find it endearing.

Thanks for that, I'd lost that site. 
To the OP, it can be annoying or not- depends on the context. I find it annoying if it's just 'for the sake of it', but it can depend on which forums I'm on. Some er, 'royals' can be little more than a rather smug, glorified 'swarm'. Although it's not the case everywhere.  |

LOL, I'll have to check that site out.
As for emoticans, I find it annoying when members overuse them especially these three   <-----There's just something annoying about that brown guy. It's like he's saying "I don't know, why can't we be friends?"
This one looks like he's doing some SERIOUS business.
And this one just looks pathetic.
