Ok guys. I'm sure some of you remember my old thread about why the Tilted Forum Project kicks ass and takes names.....and is all out of names. Or something like that.
Anyway, I have a serious question for a lot of you. It will take some careful reading of the following paragraph(s) to understand what I'm talking about, but anyone with a 3rd grade reading level can decipher it
Ok, here we go:
I'm noticing more and more that the vast majority of forums out there are starting to practice this method of "initiating" new members. This method is incredibly immature and stupid (whilst supposedly being "funny" and "comical" to the forum veterans). In lieu of up-and-coming rockstars, "it goes a little something like this:"
Let's say you join the forum with a natural interest of meeting new people and contributing ideas and thoughtful posts to the said forum. Instead of responding with "Hello" or "Nice to meet you," the current trend is apparently to say things like "UR FAG" or "STUPID RETARD."
"OMG you fukin shitcock smacktard NEWB OMG NEWB ALERT!!"
"u hav the ballz to post here you fuker???"
And so on.
Now, when you respond with "Why are you so rude?" or "Gosh, I didn't realize you guys were so immature" or anything like that, they go into this whole "OMG are u some sort of INTELLEK or something? you think ur smartzz???"
So it's a never-ending cycle of shit.
I PMed one of the moderators at the last forum I tried to join, and he said to "shut the fuck up and take it like a man."
What?
Apparently, it's some sort of initiation that "newbs" have to go through. Well, it's not working for me. Those fuckers can fuck off
I'll stick to Tilted Forum Project where maturity is not just a word, it's a practice.
Has anyone else experienced this at other forums? The last 4 (yes, four!) forums I have wanted to join (expanding my horizons
) have done this. What's the deal?
I know it's not some sort of "initiation" because I can click on ANY of the threads at the said forums and they say "shitcock" and "newb" to EVERYONE, not just me. Is the Internet that fucking retarded? Is this the only place that isn't filled with immature assholes?
This forum feels like a damn haven when compared to others.
