Title: Need awesome forum!
Post by: Snarky on Sat 12/12/2009 23:49:23
Hey, does anyone know where I can find an awesome forum where I can make games easier than AGS?

That spammers website was in my history, so here you go.  :D

Glad he is gone.

I know you are joking, and so am I.

thats awesome. *bookmarks for later use*

Although to be fair I never saw any claims about making games "easier than AGS". In fact those forums have a topic called "AGS IS SUCCESS" which discusses how AGS doesn't have any viruses or anything! Coz you know 99.9% of all programs these days have at least 2 or 3 built-in. :=

Today the forum has one member less.
Please take 0.065 seconds of silence to commemorate forum member 10289.
And just as the ending of Burn After Reading we ask ourselves; what did we learn? I don't know, sir. I don't fucking know either.

This looks cool.
But be careful online on these sort of sites, they can contain viruses or sexual behaviour.

That made me laugh. =)

I just love the way they have a spam forum and the fact that there are secret smileys that are restricted for use in that forum...a few of my favorites include:

Quote from: paul155to do this smiley :3 put a colon(: ) with a number three(3)
to do this smiley :# put a colon(: ) with a number sign(#)
to do this smiley C:-) put a capitalized c(C) with a colon(: ) a line(-) and a parenthasis())

And no, I didn't forget to change anything over to img tags. They simply have ASCII smileys reserved for the spam forum which paul then explains how to type.

To make the matter a step further on the hilarity scales, they warn:

Quote from: Drewflyplease be careful with smileys, spamming etc. Because it can realy results in a ban!

So don't post too much smileys or spam.

Spamming too much in the Spam Forum can realy results in a ban! Haha!  :D

Oh and also I love those fabricated post counts. Drewfly has 1016 posts? Really? That's just amazing since the entire forum only has 63 posts (as of today, yesterday it was only 58...they're on the rise!).

Why do you guys give this kid and his forum so much attention? That's exactly what he wants (now his forum actually gets views and probably a bunch of users and replies or whatever - I refuse to click the link). To be honest, every time somebody replied to one of the spam threads he created here I shook my head in disbelief. You're not helping this forum and there are other places which will penalize users that post "in before the lock" like that, for a good reason imho.

The best reaction to all this would be to just maturely let it go. Yes, he's a kid, yes, he can't spell, yes, he fabricated post counts, is that really something new or special or funny these days? To me it isn't.

I know this post in this thread is slightly on the hypocritical side but I needed to get that off of my chest.

Post by: Calin Leafshade on Sun 13/12/2009 14:08:04
I knew someone would take that stance so allow me to riposte.

Because its funny and temporary. Trolls are dealt with my moderators fairly quickly and also this particular troll was amusingly stupid, so why not take the opportunity to mock them?

Title: Re: Need awesome forum!
Post by: DoorKnobHandle on Sun 13/12/2009 14:10:00
Well, there's our difference. You think it's funny, I don't. If this was a troll that did something original or funny in my eyes, I wouldn't have anything against discussion and a thread like this one.

But, in the end, all trolls want is be mocked and talked about. Why play into their plan?

EDIT: And I agree, the moderators here deal with trolls very quickly and efficiently as they did with this one. Thumbs up!

I do agree with you that we should just let it go and forget about it. But then I must agree it is fun to mock someone too. People will forget all of this tomorrow anyway  ;) . In the end this guy got about one day of attention. Wow what a achievement (NOT).  ;D

I can fully understand the "don't feed the trolls" attitude ("Never throw chicken at a leprechaun!"), however I can also understand the "funny" side of it. I only posted once in any of his threads and actually accused his site of being terrible before I ever clicked there. The only reason I did visit is because I figured it was probably some practically empty forum and the kid was going around shouting that it was the "best forum ever". I was right.

Minus several billion points on originality, but it's still humorous to me nonetheless that kids think just because they've figured out how to use the interwebz that they have some type of "mad skillz" and are "t3h w3bm4st3r 1337".

The two things I found the most funny were the aforementioned "viruses or sexual behavior" which may be exhibited on sites such as AGS (apparently) and the way that "paul" felt it absolutely necessary to explain how to type those ASCII smileys. I'll admit, both of those things made me laugh.

The post counts I just like to point out because it's a classic example of "I don't want people to think my site is n00b so I will make it look like I have a ton of posts already". Again not original by any means, but I still appreciate the sheer bloody irony of the fact that in an effort to seem "less n00b" these people actually end up making themselves much more blatantly obvious n00bs.  ;D

The fun isn't the troll, the fun is the mocking.

Though if I'd known someone would actually post the link, I wouldn't have started this thread. (Gone now. Cheers, Domino and Danman!)

Think I saw his name on AGS wiki.

Didn't DG end up the one who was Andy Penis? Or did he make an account after the real one left to keep the spirit alive? I can't remember, it was a LONG time ago.

It is in the wiki, Andy Penis (http://www.americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/Andy_Penis).

And he's referred to as such coz Andy Milonakis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Milonakis) is a dick. :=

Why yes, yes he was (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile;u=253;sa=showPosts).

Though Snake seems to think that the actual member was a joke played by one of the forums' favorite members. ;D

Dam this guy seems like he was drinking a lot or on something else. or just nuts.
Least his comments where quite funny but 6 years old. What happened to him did he just vanish one day??

He met up with the wrong end of a banhammer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banhammer#Banning_in_games_and_Internet_Forums) one day I believe... ::) ...either that or it really was DG and he just put an end to his foolishness himself (in a somewhat obvious attempt at trying to cover up the idea that it was in fact him).

being an idiot or he just ran out of jokes  ;D . Anyway thanks for the info about uh... Andy Penis

Well, if you find irritating people in the real world, then the cyber world is no different. But those posts of AndyPenis are funny. So, I guess the only thing making them funny is the anonymity of the poster. I can't imagine laughing at some child on the street if they were saying that.
