That bumper sticker thread is a prime example - I knopw it would have been funny a few years back. Hell, I contributed, and mine were funny. But most of the ones on there were just variations on "ohmigod I am going to beamz j00!". Please tell me we were cleverer than that.
We are. There is a lot of wilful stupidity around though. And by that I mean people deliberately being stupid because they think it's fun.
While spam and off topic works on a small board like this one it doesn't work on HLP.
Quite frankly I'm getting sick of the whole mess. Which is why I hang out on Game-Warden a lot more than I did on HLP. Of course now that I'm an admin I can start knocking some heads together when I start seeing stupidity.

Yeah, genuine new-nes I can deal with, as they quickly adapt and see how things work, but people that want to stay noob for the hell of it are the annoying ones
also, as much as it is an elitest attitude, they need to learn to listen to people who've been around because they're for the most part right on what they're talking about

I was tired of being accused of s### for locking the retarded threads before they got a chance to grow. I may pop back and see if my mod status still works, and lock more.

GenFS is funny as hell when you can walk in and murder everyone in an argument with two lines; the sad thing is some of them should really know better.

Ah, come on, you can't expect me to memorise everything :V: have ever said about the Lucifer! I didn't even know the community existed when the Developers Mailing list was going.

I suspected it because of the way his variable naming conventions changed, as well as his entire writing style.
Thanks for throwing the light on it so well, I've just requested my first banning.
Hmmm.... Hey Kara, you know that 'zeroed postcount' thing.....

Well he's been banned as is. If he spams any when he comes back I'll zero him immediately.

Spam I can deal with, but pretending to know a programming language and stealing code from another site is crossing the line, though, I'll admit, I was on a pretty short fuse with him anyway.
