Farkers/Totalfarkers?
 
Just wondering how many of you here are farkers or totalfarkers.
Im a totalfarker myself.
And yes, im aware of how random this is.

Grondar 04-19-2003 10:33 PM

I am a Farker.

I actually found this forum via FARK back when it got swarmed after being posted there. :)

poof 04-19-2003 10:35 PM

Well Calcart, many of us scan the www, and come across fark.com. Farkers might be here, but, we don't attempt to correct spelling, grammer, or do one up attacks.

Great people here, this is not fark.

zmbabwe 04-19-2003 10:46 PM

I'm a farker, and I found this through Fark. Well, probably most of the farkers her found tfp through Fark.

redrum 04-19-2003 10:57 PM

I wouldnt consider myself a farker, I looked at the site the same I do theonion, for a good laugh. but yes I did discover tfp through the fark

dimbulb 04-19-2003 10:58 PM

ditto that.

Both sites have their good points. But lets just say that is might just be the most well behaved and intelligent forum i've seen in a loooooooong time

Calcartman 04-19-2003 11:11 PM

I did find this site through fark; although i guess i never considered fark to be a forum. To me fark has always been just a place for good stories, etc. This place is an awesome forum.

Sorry if i stirred something up; i just recognized a couple names and was wondering how many others i would see.

Xixox 04-20-2003 01:15 AM

Farker here. Found the TFP from a Fark plug as well.

I've been considering going over to TotalFark, so I can get a jump on some of the photoshop contests over there. But work's been keeping me from the 'puter lately, and I'm really getting worn out on the Fark cliché of abusing clichés.

Still, I always catch up on the headlines before work.

Magpie0001 04-20-2003 01:36 AM

When TFP went down I went back to Fark, Now were up & running again Ill spend alot more time here.
TFP is the best place on the net.

World's King 04-20-2003 01:37 AM

Fark has lost all it's magic.

I can only take so much Wil Wheaton shit.

SecretMethod70 04-20-2003 01:41 AM

I used to go to fark all the time - then it led me here and I rarely visit anymore.

My personal evolution to TFP:

Slashdot-->WilWheaton.net-->Fark-->TFP

Ashton 04-20-2003 02:51 AM

I'm a farker..... I found fark here at the T.F.P.

John Henry 04-20-2003 02:57 AM

I found this place through fark last year, lurked, got kicked off, came back and stopped lurking. Now I like this place better than fark.

ARTelevision 04-20-2003 04:02 AM

totalfark is good to read.
Also, I prefer to pay for things I use.
Which reminds me - I send regular contributions to TFP.
You should too.

apetaster 04-20-2003 04:06 AM

Backsliding TotalFarker. Used to go there lots - something is different. TFP good.

BoCo 04-20-2003 04:14 AM

I'm a Farker and a TotalFarker. I'm probably going to give up TotalFark soon, though.

zizdog69 04-20-2003 04:33 AM

I am also proud to call myself a Farker. I would like to get into the TotalFark area soon but my job pay is less than significant to do that.

ratbastid 04-20-2003 05:00 AM

I read fark, but I refuse to put myself in the category with most of the people who call themselves farkers and post there.

I only ever visit the comments thingy for photoshops and captions (remember those?). I'm not big on flame wars. Which is part of what I love about TFP.

Side question: is it possible to answer this question without unfavorably comparing Fark to TFP? I don't think so. ;)

Spanky Johnson 04-20-2003 05:08 AM

I lurk and read the articles on Fark, but I've never posted there. Some of the Photoshop threads are really funny.

sixate 04-20-2003 05:22 AM

I only go to Fark if I'm really bored. I don't go there too much.

Mad_Gecko 04-20-2003 05:43 AM

Yep, I am a TotalFarker (Same Alias). Found TFP through it, for the boobies, although I have moved on to other forums now ;)

Both places have their own good points, TotalFark has the news b4 it usually hits the Telly, and Photoshops are sometimes hilarious. To avoid the childish Flames I usually bow out of a thread b4 it gets too popular on Fark.

rogue49 04-20-2003 06:00 AM

Ex-farker. (not really interesting anymore)

pazza 04-20-2003 06:08 AM

im a farker also, found here through there

sapiens 04-20-2003 06:21 AM

I found TFP through Fark. I still like Fark.com, but I don't go there nearly as much now. I spend more time here.

I think the very same thing is happening to me.

Less Fark, more TFP. Not necessarily a bad thing, as I love it here. :)

a1t3r3g0 04-20-2003 06:56 AM

I found FTP throguh Fark.. but like a lot of you I don't go there much anymore. The photoshops can be funny sometimes, tho..

Agreed, It's gotten worse. I also tried to mess around with posting and found it to be the least user friendly endeavor ever. I'm not an idiot, but I felt like one after trying to post there. Still check out the ol' fark now and then.

NoCure 04-20-2003 07:28 AM

I'm a part-time farker, full-time TFPer

kgb 04-20-2003 08:40 AM

I am a FARK lurker. It is still my homepage. I found TFP through FARK as well.

w3r7y 04-20-2003 09:01 AM

I fark.. I fark

cheapdog 04-20-2003 09:18 AM

I visit fark from time to time, so I am clueless to some of the things there, but what does PSA stands for?

MyFakeAccount 04-20-2003 09:31 AM

when you say 'totalfarkers' do you mean the fark site you have to pay for? I am happy with the free fark, and fark is my homepage.

Great people here, this is not fark.

What's wrong with correcting someone's spelling or grammar, if it's not done in a condescending manner? It's just as easy to spell or talk correctly as it is incorrectly. It's like walking around with your fly open - it reflects on how the world sees you - wouldn't you appreciate someone pointing that out?

And yes (he says, unnecessarily) - I Fark. Not like I used to, though.

Empty_One 04-20-2003 09:40 AM

I'm a farker, and have them to thank (?) for sending me this way

RubberSouls 04-20-2003 11:55 AM

Farker. I wouldn't know about TFP if it wasn't for Fark

Loup 04-20-2003 12:11 PM

Farker who found this wonderful domain from Halx's Boobies post

Johnny Rotten 04-20-2003 12:20 PM

Fark just doesn't do it for me anymore. The novelty of the stories gets old, and the comments section is usually a waste of time unless it's a Photoshop contest. I've seen more boring and ugly discussions about politics and religion there than I care to ever see again.

poof 04-20-2003 12:23 PM

<b>yournamehere</b>, have a great day. No trolling with terrible grammer to start stuff. This is Hals TFP, we get along here. :p

poof 04-20-2003 12:25 PM

A hello to Johnny Rotten. Glad you are back. Your 'puter knowledge has been very helpful.

BTW, I won't call you Mr. Rotten. You already explained that.

gjbourke 04-20-2003 02:14 PM

FARK is tired. Used to love it, but teh cliches are SO old. Domo Kun is still appearing!

Given that anyone can post on forums, why does TFP NOT get destroyed by flame wars and tired cliches. Can I thank the moderators? Thanks. Or is it some strange social phenom?

gjbourke 04-20-2003 02:15 PM

PSA is public service announcement

sub zero 04-20-2003 02:40 PM

no fark for me

zf0enix 04-21-2003 09:24 AM

Farker here. I didn't join total fark because the attitudes and flame wars there are too annoying. The TFP is a lot more civilized and friendly.

SaltPork 04-21-2003 09:57 AM

I also would have not known about TFP if it hadn't been for Fark. I came for the TB but stayed when I realized what was here.

Daval 04-21-2003 10:00 AM

TotalFarker. I found this place via Fark.

I do spend far more time here than on fark though.

Go_AVS 04-21-2003 11:16 AM

I found the TFP as well through Fark and I still have my TotalFark membership (I actually didn't know it auto-renewed but I was charged a couple months ago for it). I went there a few times when the TFP was done and realized that I really do not like that site at all anymore. Lets all allow Fark to RIP.

muttt 04-21-2003 11:42 AM

less and less, it seems

charliex 04-21-2003 11:55 AM

farker, totalfarker, #fark'r, fark partier, #fark sop, fark mod

you name it i fark it

OMFUG 04-21-2003 12:01 PM

Yeah, I found this place from Halx's boobies links too.... I'm not so big on Fark now, only the photoshops. I checked out Fazed too, which has amusing forums. In short, my evolution was:

fark->fazed->angryworld->TFP!!!!

Besides (and I can't believe how this is) TFP is SFW but fark isn't.

Mango 04-21-2003 12:01 PM

I found this place through FARK but am not a farker.

boatguy234 04-21-2003 12:06 PM

opentocomments 04-21-2003 12:57 PM

i am a "farker" per say but it is so dumb all the people on fark have to say something negative (well not ALL)

Sticky 04-21-2003 01:06 PM

Farker.

The good thing about Fark is that it always has the latest news.
Use it everyday to see what is going on in the world.
When there is a news flash it is usually much faster than any news site.

Also, the photoshops are hilarious.

rekinom 04-21-2003 01:16 PM

Post removed.

K-Billy 04-21-2003 01:57 PM

I went to Fark a few times and didn't care for it. I think I found TFP through Cloud10 or ORSM, one of those.

Frosstbyte 04-21-2003 02:12 PM

Well, I read farker on a daily basis, but the boards there never appealed to me. I found this place WAY back from it being posted on Fark, but I'm definitely much more of "TFPer" (?).

spanky spangler 04-21-2003 02:18 PM

Oh yeah, big farker (different name). I like the immediacy of their steam-driven bbs - no edits.

Yeah, the pshops are funny! And the farkers that do them are much more civil to each other. The comments are usually positive.

HamiC 04-21-2003 03:23 PM

I visit Fark pretty regularly. Despite its shortcomings, it is pretty darn good at what it does.

phoenix1002 04-21-2003 03:24 PM

I've looked at Fark every once in a while, but never posted. Come to think of it, I never posted anywhere or looked at message boards till my friend told me about TFP...

Hey, I happen to have domo-kun as my backround right now... then again, that might happen to be because my parents were just visiting, so I had to change my wallpaper. My friends and I still haven't been able to figure out if it looks more like a turd, a meatloaf, or some creation that was made after somebody skinned the brown armchair back home.

meembo 04-21-2003 03:47 PM

I fark on a regular basis

Fremen 04-21-2003 07:18 PM

I'm currently a TotalFarker that has decided not to renew the pay portion of this evening.

Double D 04-26-2003 11:27 PM

I followed the FARK boobies link here, and I like what I found

WhoaitsZ 04-27-2003 04:50 PM

i'm a pretty die-hard farker. not total fark, i'm fucking poor right now.

silverback 04-29-2003 08:16 PM

I also found this forum via fark...thank you fark

Nhanced1 04-29-2003 08:28 PM

I am a farker, and I still visit there for funny links and whatnot, but mostly at school and work because they have filters that are set against the tfp. :(

Quadraton 05-01-2003 08:41 PM

I started out at Fark. Saw the plug for TFP, and now I'm here.

Nowadays, I only go to Fark to read the articles, and the occasional Photoshop contest. I avoid the comments sections like the plague. I'm sick and tired of reading through all the petty bickering, and constant flamewars that go on in that place. It used to be one of the greatest sites on the Web where people could actually get into calm, mature discussions. Now, you'd be lucky if you could say one thing without having 20 people quoting you, and telling you what a dumbass they think you are.

I know this is just me being selfish, but I hope TFP never becomes as popular as Fark does. I just couldn't stand losing another great stomping ground.

Edit: Now that I think about it more, TFP is <B>a lot</B> better moderated than Fark is. Maybe having more people wouldn't be such a bad thing.

enjoyduff 05-01-2003 08:49 PM

I am a farker...found this through Fark as well. Probably doesn't make me popular, but what the hey. Splendid place this is...everyone is so civilized.

davidc209 05-01-2003 08:53 PM

I am a Total Farker. However, i consider the money i give them a donation as I spend less then an hour or two there each week. Drew did a great job with that site.

The flame wars and constant arguing on EVERY single thread gets a bit old, though. TFP is MUCH more civilized. :)

pangavan 05-01-2003 11:02 PM

I visit fark for the news posts but dont really post alot of comments,fame wars get to crazy

hrdwareguy 05-02-2003 07:06 AM

I used to go to fark. Found the TFP at fark. Now all the time I spent reding fark, I spend reading the TFP.

candyman 05-02-2003 07:13 AM

TotalFarker here! That's how I, like many others before me, found this place.

Now I spend my life HERE!

madsenj37 05-03-2003 10:52 PM

just regular fark, cause I am a cheap bastard.

JediWhore 05-04-2003 01:36 PM

Farker here too, found it in the top boobies section a year ago or so...

kreskin 05-04-2003 03:24 PM

TotalFark, found this place via Fark. I know there are a bunch of us since the Fark boobie links end up here fast!

Fallon 05-04-2003 04:28 PM

I stopped participating on fark when that kid on a game died, and his family and friends held a memorial for him on a game, and someone posted it on fark, and they(most of the farkers) just totally bashed the kid. I read the stories, as they are good stories, and I hear them at least a day before I do on the news so.

tntenson 05-04-2003 10:41 PM

I found tfp through a link in fark forum a year ago. I read fark for entertainment but not for thinking

dvorak 05-05-2003 09:50 AM

I read fark for a few months, and was a TotalFarker for 1 month... then I found TFP and realized that I was only into Fark for the porn, so I ended my subscription. I've been back to read the headlines a few times since then.

TFP has a much more inviting community, and not everyone here is an anal-retentive computer-programming jackass.

And the porn is better here.

The Cotb 05-05-2003 05:51 PM

TotalFarker, here. I found TFP via Fark about a year ago. I enjoy both for different reasons. I read Fark for the articles and TFP for the boobies, but am enjoying lurking here in the forums lately... I, too, get turned off by the constant sniping that takes place in the Fark boards, but there's some funny stuff posted in there as well, so I go in and take what I want and leave the rest...

studkickass 05-06-2003 09:06 AM

I fark.

HockeyGuy 05-06-2003 02:53 PM

I'm a TotalFarker (as of last month) Farker before that. And yesm, found this forum through fark

blindawg 05-07-2003 09:08 AM

As seems to be the case. I also discovered teh TFP throgh Fark what seems like ages ago.. More like 9 months.. I still check out fark and the TFP nearly everyday.. (Being and IT Admin has it's advantages)
