Something in the stats is going a wee bit wrong. I think SMF can't count...

Is this thread an attempt to improve your position in the very chart you've observed so closely?
:P
Your jealousy is transparent, Andail :P :=
Huh? How can I be in that list? I reply a lot, but rarely create topics.

Wow. Severely old stuff.
And what the hell is with this male to female ratio? 6:1? Sounds like a bukkake lover's dream!

What, you honestly thought different? I would've imagined there'd be more like a 10:1 ratio... obviously we've got some pretenders around, too...
And while we're at it, we're missing a number of stock-personalities:
The preachy uber-Christian who goes on evangelical rants
The 13-year-old emo kid who wont stop posting poetry
The sarcastic 'noob-eater' that everyone respects
The drama queen who finds a way to take offense at everything
The uber-Nazi moderator who monitors the forum religiously
The hot chick who's always getting hit on
That guy who's obsessed with pirates or ninjas
and the loser-hippy who always gets screwed
There's also:
The self-aggrandising narcissist who views the world as his playground
The wise-cracking smart-ass who gets on everyone's nerves
The know-it-all who argues about anything, even if he doesn't know anything about it
But those are already covered (by me :P)

Let me introduce you to the Frets on Fire forums. We have ALL of those. O_o.
The what with the what now?
Also, quoting an entire post just to add a single line in response is baaad. One of the big boys will come along and make you sit in the corner...

Ah yes but verbal happy slappers can still be driven out pretty easily ;)

I just noticed that. Sorry folks!
I'm too in the shame list! "Unproductive forum users" :'(
Oh no!
R4L, you quoted about 2060 bytes of data for your 76-byte response.
That means your pointless quote wasted
27 TIMES more bandwidth than did your reply.
I declare you the title of 'most inefficient poster, ever'.

Well of course we all know that girls don't actually exist on the Internet (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_17/109-OMG-Girlz-Don-t-Exist-on-teh-Intarweb-1)! What a laughable idea...girls using technology or computers or gaming systems. Talk about your male fantasies. ;D
Yeah, members like myself, The Ivy, gypsysnail, brokenbutterfly, Nightfable etc. are highly evolved spam robots that make games on the side. Your human tendency to personify has made us seem like females of your own kind. But in reality everyone knows females are genetically incapable of doing anything remotely intelligent. :P
Seriously though, the bukkake comment was scary. Just sayin'.

Honestly, what did you expect from the internet?
Honestly? I guess I thought people could behave with a little thoughtfulness, here of all places. :P Too much to ask, I guess.
Could be that the Greater Internet F***wad Theory is rearing its ugly head again!
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/ for the uninitiated. ;)
That theory holds true most cases.
I got a friendly reception on one of my youtube videos:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=rjpGN1cufLQ ( look at the comments from angry anonymous asian guys )
Lovely video indeed mate... (No, I really liked it).
There are internet places which are the gathering place of all vulgarity: youtube, deviant, myspace, etc. Anything popular. AGS is not really popular (far from it), so no problem really...
Indeed, but its not like profile owners have to keep the vulgar messages.
It's like spam email, in most cases we're all gonna get it, and in every case we delete it. I see vulgar comments on youtube etc as the same. Easily deleteable & forgetable, turning your page/profile into a much nicer, safer environment :)
Perhaps you need to do a little pruning evenwolf ;)
We don't "need" a balance of good comments and bad. They're your videos, like my videos are mine, and I only accept the good comments, or ones that are constructive. But then I'm just used to deleting thoughtless comments and crap from moderating these boards for however long...
You'd be surpsied though. There is un-ncecessary vulgarity at AGS, but the mods wipe it out very, very quickly, or make sure it's dealt with in private.
Letting the comments stand is actually empowering. There are certain things I might "prune" but the envious asian guys obviously need somewhere to vent. It was an issue I was never aware of, this "yellow fever" thing.
It's amazing how adamant some of the posts have been toward asian females. Telling them never to date a white guy. Unbelievable.

I never meant for the comment to actually be taken as scary. I certainly intended it as an awkward and repulsive comment, but never scary. If I wanted to be scary I would post pictures of myself online. Without a shirt.
Besides, we all know that this is true:

No worries, monkey05_06. I'd say you more than met your aim! :)
evenwolf: I can't view your video; it crashed my browser. :( Did you set up something to disallow Asian chicks from viewing it?
Even having not seen the video though, I do understand the Asian guys' reactions. There is a class of girls that still have the colonial-worship mentality going on, and they adore white guys just because they're white. Other white guys who live here don't understand it - back home they're nerdy goofs, but here they are suddenly elevated to exotic sex gods. But they're not gonna argue with it. I imagine that pisses off the local guys quite a bit. Your video was probably the unfortunate trigger that made them vent in your comments.
edit: I managed to watch the vid! I loved it. XD And I have to wonder why the haters chose this video as their battleground... but heck, it's Youtube. The people there don't need a reason for anything.
Makes me really treasure the AGS forums and its (relative) safety. :)

I've been told we were targeted by a group on Facebook. I've been searching for it to no avail: "Asian Guys Who Aren't Helping Their Chances With Women By Attempting to Limit Asian Women To Date Only Themselves."
One day when women of a specific race ONLY date asian guys I'm totally calling bullshit. These guys have alot of internet balls.

Evenwolf, I think the facebook thread is: "Asian guys against white dating Asain girls". As said by Garric1 (1 year ago).
I think they are stupid people who can't take a joke. The video was great.
Honestly though, if an Asian guy made a video on how to pick up Canadian girls by using--oh let's say--snow shoes; I would get a good laugh from it. These guys need to relax.

Silence, auriond. Initiate phase 2.
I love phase 2. That's the one where you all drop the female disguises and start shooting everyone with lasers right? Can I sing The Doom Song (http://youtube.com/watch?v=fqcn_TPu4qQ)?
