Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Monday, June 18 2007 15:40 Profile Homepage #57 quote: Originally written by Najosz Thjsza Kjras: quote: Originally written by jg.faust: Also, Nalyd and IFM are kind of funny. I do find it kind of amusing that the average age of the board is steadily climbing and yet the average post just keeps on getting dumber and dumber. It's amusing in the way that, say, Halliburton actually getting away with what they do is amusing. This is part of why I don't like SW. I have a highly active sense of humor and apparently have some of the sharpest comic timing a lot of people have seen, but what I do is actually absurdist instead of "random" - which is to say, not nice big fat softballs lobbed at single-digit speeds, i.e. 'jokes' everyone's already heard twelve times and which don't actually bother to take a swing at anything. So I have a choice to make. I can go for broke and get banned. I'd piss a lot of humorless people off, but I never cared much about them. I can join the rocket-tard brigade and knee-slappingly quote Foamy cartoons or whatever the hell passes for 'quirky' nowadays - no. The only thing that leaves me, and the choice I wind up taking most of the time, is to swat you people down as hard and as mean as I possibly can. The hope is that if I do it for long enough, some of you might learn and become productive members of society. Start joking, god damn it! Quit with the freaking references and grow a God-damn sense of humor! I'm too young to be a cranky old man and it's only a matter of time before I have to go with #1 and go out in a TM-style blaze of glory. "The one who seeks shall always find." The couple of Foamy fans had been banned pretty quickly, as was everybody else who had exhibited the same level of noobishness. So the fact that those kids represent Spidweb boards for you says far more about your expectations than about the boards themselves. Our current generation of 13-year olds is acting no worse than the 13-year olds of five years ago did back then. The only difference is that some of those who were 13 back then are now horrified at that behavior and think that "We were never this bad. What's up with the youth these days?!" PS On a related note: quote: Originally written by Thralni: quote: Originally written by Calphrexo: Chicken gods. :rolleyes: And Najosz is Alec, in case you didn't remember. What's wrong with chicken gods? ... The thing wrong with chicken gods is the same thing that is wrong with Demon Muffins, hordes of undead followers, and other such gimmicks. The amusement value of these things, if there was any to begin with, is lost long before the gimmick user realizes it. So as the person who was putting references to chicken gods into every other post long after they've stopped being funny, you really shouldn't feel superior to those who do the same thing with references to Demon Muffins.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, June 19 2007 13:42 Profile Homepage #59 You know what? It may not be true for everyone, but many people weren't that bad at thirteen. They may have improved with age, but they weren't as bad as some are to begin with. Most of the 20-ish Spidweb oldbies fall into that category, really. And to be fair, there are plenty of very youngsters around now who don't act like the stereotypical 13 year old blight upon the internet. And that is why I generally don't like to talk about age online when it's not relevant, and in fact why I'm not so keen on it even when it is relevant. Judge people by actions, not age. Age is neither a good excuse nor an achievement. —Alorael, who will candidly admit to being exactly what Alec loathes. As an insider he really can't tell what's so objectionable about fuzzy, cuddly, cloying, saccharine humor and what makes acidity so wonderful in comparison. Originality is always nice, but you don't have to make someone cry to be original. (Maybe people should grow thicker eSkin, but that's another problem.)

Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Wednesday, June 20 2007 02:59 Profile #64 Also, consider how much time you spend where. Your friends see many sides of you, and the amount of time they spend listening to chicken/muffin/undead/whatever jokes is a tiny fraction of their time with you. Here, that fraction may be larger, conveying an impression you may not realize. And the impression can last longer than you realize, too. I don't think Thralni has actually posted much about chickens or their gods for a long time; most of his posts seem to be serious ones about BoA. But a lot of people here still think of him as chicken-obsessed. The point is that no-one ever comes to know anyone else on a message board; we only see whatever comes across in posts. As far as the boards are concerned, we are our posts. It's worth bearing this in mind. For one thing, if you don't make people write you off by overdoing some schtick, there's a better chance they'll play along with your other gags, which can be fun. -------------------- We're not doing cool.

Tailor the humor to the audience." Which I did, didn't I? I haven't made a joke around here for quite some time, as Student of Trinity pointed out already. I can't really remember the last time I posted about it. Look, you really don't have to start lecturing me about being funny. I know it's probably meant in a positive way, but right now, you are acting like my parents: they, too, are constantly telling me things I already know. I think I know well enough how people think of me in certain places. It would be hypocritical to say I don't do it, as I, of course, too, have very unrealistic images of people that make me like them or hate them. However saying that all of my humor is fixated on poultry is ludicrous. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.
