So after buying Minecraft, I decided "Hey, what the hell, let's check out the forums." And that's when I encountered something that the Flood can't even hold a candle against. First I'll talk about my experience, then I'll talk about the many different players in the forum game.
When I joined, I decided to start my welcome party off by starting a thread asking to "have an option to toggle Hunger." I was not greeted with straight arguments though, I encountered the worst of the worst. People who could be pissed off by a loose nail, people who QQed every chance they get, etc. After that thread died, I tried posting in different threads. I found some intelligent human beings, but most were composed of Elitists and Notch-Worshippers.
So, now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about the many terrible persons that inhabit this forum.
The Intelligent Ones (Smarticus Olda)
These are the few that dwell in this forum. They try to create meaningful threads and try to spur a discussion/debate. However, there is little of them, so there isn't much more information on them. Besides, they are mostly drowned out by the others.
The Worshippers of Notch's Feet (Suckis of Dickore)
These vary wildly from having the most **** poor grammar on the planet to grammar resembling that of the Smarticus Olda. Despite how they type, they all act the same. Their one true god is Notch and he is their master. Whatever choices he makes, they are right beside him. If an update has ONE bad update and someone complains or suggests differently to it, they will be showered upon with the FAWKIN FURY.
Be especially aware of this type of forum goer, as they travel in packs. **** off one, and you have awakened the bee hive. Prepare for a crapstorm.
The Indifferent (Headus up-the Assicus)
These are the types who cannot agree on anything but to disagree. Want hunger to be toggable? No. Want something added to an update? Hell no. Want Notch to get up off his lazy ass? HELL FAWKIN' NAW! Don't try to reason with these terrible people as you most likely will have your feelings hurt.
The Nuetral (Nuetrality Harboris)
These are the ones that don't really care. Their existence on this site is that of a mystery, because most fit into one of the other categories. If you find that you have formed into Nuetrality Harboris, then congratulations is in order. Or you could make up your mind.
The Screamers (Gobblus Atticus)
These are a different but related breed similar to the Indifferent, except these cannot agree with ANYTHING. No matter what it is, it has to have a cynical approach, followed by yelling their battlecry, "SHUT THE HELL UP STOOPID N00B!!1"
Do not disagree with these people. Ignore them, as they are also closely related to the Attention ***** family (not mentioned) and will certainly do anything to get it this way.
The Whiners (QQ....icus)
They will complain every chance they get. If Notch even lifts a finger in the wrong direction to their liking, they will go batcrap insane and throw a temper tantrum, crying their eyes out as they seek ass pats and "damn..."s from everyone. Do not feed this kind, it is better if they go extinct.
The Elitist (Overstuffar Pocketicus)
These are very common in the wild, and it is best not to approach them. These dwell in many forums, but are normally only in the Creative forum. There, they will utter HILARIOUS CATCHPHRASES LIKE "stop being cheap and buy minecraft!" and "omg creative sux why dont u just upgrade??" Elitists are, however, able to be tamed. If you also own Minecraft and tell them a valued response, they most likely will crawl back to their hole.
AND FINALLY....
The White Knight (Forevore Alonis)
These are extremely common and hard not to be able to be identified. They will help out all sorts (but almost never an Intelligent One) and do anything it takes to protect them from the horrors of critique and opinions and DISAGREEMENT!
Be careful on the forums, because studies show that if you spend too much time conforming to their standards, you will become Forevore Alonis. Careful out there!
Heh, bravo on the screamers. That one actually made me chuckle. And not a "lol", an actual real life chuckle. Honestly, with some modification, you've just summed up the entire internet.
If any senator wishes to read this, I suggest a SUSA bill. Stop United States Act. If the internet needs to babysit your lawmaking, Then there's something wrong.
so you are the ass that has to state all of this so that he can have attention?
because i'm pretty sure we were all aware of intelligent people, stupid people, people that can't type worth beans, and the grammar nazis, etc. almost all forums you join are going to have these kinds of people. so there isn't anything you can do about it. BUT, i have to admit i do like the creativeness of your post. i do not know whether to bless you with the tiny green plus signs we all want, or to be angry about your actions.
This made me laugh a good deal, especially the scientific names on the side... there are quite a few people on the forums that can cause trouble, if you happen to find them, make sure to use the report button! it is your friend, and from what you described, could help your thread (as they were derailing it, which is considered spam)
anyway, good post, made me laugh. although please remember not everyone is a troll, they are just the ones you remember the most! this is a pretty awesome community all in all
lol, i was the second highest posted person on here :smile.gif:
Probaby, The Smart :smile.gif:
I dunno, i like to think im smart, but i usually don't bother in discussions anymore as i can predict where they go.
I just lurk mainly, and either, derail "troll" topics, or guide newbie topics :ohmy.gif:

Then it's safe to say you fall under the smart category.
This thread lays out my frustration with this forum perfectly. If only you accounted for the mods, but I won't elaborate on that because I'll probably be ban hammered for flaming.

I had to seclude them or risk yet ANOTHER thread get removed. Trust me though, I have some interesting choice words for the mods.
