How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

JustJess · 08-04-2007, 02:46 PM

I found this at the physician assistant forum, and thought it apropos!
***********
1 to change the light bulb and 1 to post that the light bulb has been changed

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

53 to flame the spell checkers

41 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

15 know-it-alls who claim *they* were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

156 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy"

109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped

111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this forum

306 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ

44 to ask what is a "FAQ" 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

143 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

134 to blame the US for the bulb burning up in the first place

37 to immediately blame the French for sabotaging the light bulbs

18 to point out that the US wouldn't even be a country without French help

23 to remind the French that without the US they'd be goosestepping to Springtime for Hitler

9 to post replies telling people not to turn this into another US/French flame thread

1 Moderator close it all down before it turns into a flamewar

3 to post entirely new threads about WHY WAS MY THREAD CLOSED?

1 newbie to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

this is too funny, probably because it is very recognizable, fortunately less so on the great TFP.

ShaniFaye · 08-04-2007, 04:28 PM

MexicanOnABike · 08-04-2007, 06:23 PM

Lady Sage · 08-05-2007, 11:39 AM

la petite moi · 08-05-2007, 12:05 PM

Hahahaha.

Plan9 · 08-05-2007, 12:06 PM

Twelve!

No, seriously... I want to start a comical thread here about the typical post in the TFP and how each member stereotypically comments.

Hey... I think I should!

Charlatan · 08-05-2007, 02:35 PM

I am poised to shut this down....

World's King · 08-05-2007, 02:41 PM

I think this is dumb.

You forgot the inevitable lolcat-esque photoshops and MSpaints of bulbs with "funny" captions that aren't funny.

907 people to post pictures of their cats with stupid messages on them- only a handful of which will actually have a light bulb in the background, and not just some light on somewhere.

And....one post dealing with the implication of said change, and the effect it may have on the well being of the lighting of the area.

Which is correctly...ignored.

SirLance · 08-11-2007, 11:48 AM

List obviously based on actual posting.... very funny!

BBtB · 08-15-2007, 01:20 PM

I Think This Post Is Not Funny And Offensive And I Think Titties Are Offensive Therefore By My Gorrila Logic And Inablity To Not Use All Caps I Think This Post Should Be Moved To The Titty Board

edit: So apparently TFP has a line of code where you can't do all caps. Usefull but it totally ruined my entire joke here.
