Oh, monkey paw! That's not how you run a forum!

Ok but trolls only? I bet you could find other quirks is what I´m saying.

Also maybe that thread should happen so we un-ass this one.

 

Off-topic: i had a fantroll who typed in all lowercase with minimal punctuation who emphasized important words by s p a c i n g them out. My other fantroll used standard caps and punctuation, but also ended every statement with an elaborate Japanese-style emoticon. ✩°｡⋆⸜(˙꒳˙ )

 

@Codeless yeah, good idea. you wanna make it, or shall I?

 

t´was you idea.

 

In the interest of providing something that is slightly more entertaining for @seebs to reply to: minimum post word counts in RPs.

Also: this xkcd comic.

 

did thing!

edit: aaaand the hyperlink works now, lol. thanks for pointing that out, @LadyNighteyes.

 

Oh that frigging forum... I forget the address, but I know what the refrance. Like, you know that one rp'er you played with that one time who would just NOT shut up, and every single post was this over-long navel-gazing introspection that dragged the story? There is an rp site where every player is required by forum rules to be that one guy.

 

Everyone must post a conspiracy theory to join.

It isn't a conspiracy site.

 

Easy cheat for this one: Just claim you're being gangstalked. I'm pretty sure that counts as a conspiracy.

 

Just install the classic Miserable Users plug-in. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=93258

 

Back in the Glory Days of Internet Atheist Drama, Gurdur hit me with that and then lied about it.

Mighty were the deeds of trolls and shitposters in those days, when the towers of IIDB fell and the atheists were scattered.

 

Every time you hit character limit in the post box, crowds will gather around you for a ceremonial bonfire, in which your socks are gently placed, doused in gasoline, then lit aflame.

 

Link doesn't work?

I was actually thinking of Gaia Online. :::PPP

 

So now we gots to explain in excruciating detail the reasoning behind every shitpost and what led us to think we should make our silliest babbles public, guiding the reader through the thoughts (or lack thereof) that instigated us? Perhaps we should have a rule that each such expression of information include inappropriate use of excessive verbiage. Perhaps a requirement that the language used be archaic and/or out of common usage, and maybe contain redundant phrases? The use of question marks to end sentences that do not contain actual questions but might cause one to think about the thought processes may be appropriate!

 

I definitely was not, which means this happened more than once. D-:

 

Yeah, it's a thing people do to try to combat one-line answers that don't give anything to respond to. Whiiich naturally leads to overly verbose posts full of unnecessary purple prose-y descriptions, because they have to fill out the word count.

 

I can make more words! It takes me some time, but I can do it. Adjectives and adverbs are your friends. Embrace them. Use them liberally. There is always more.

 

Here's a proposal: Every time the forum software is updated, delete the forum's archives and the backups.

 

To fit this forum's image with antis, every discussion has to be about sex and features "MINORS WELCOME" in flashing letters in the thread's title.
