The Ultimate Flame Topic

Hey guys, be careful not to break the first two rules of the internet! Even though this "AMIRITE??" post really cracked me up!

It's good to see, that this discussion seems to be over now, I really got enraged by it.

It's a pretty dumb designer who does things the awkward way just for the sake of it, especially when it's not explained anywhere. My bet is that it's done on purpose, so that some clever bod can come along and laugh, while he feels all intelligent by showing you "how it's done". The feeling of superiority is ten fold when the person not realising how to do it is a n00b... :lol:

That's almost as silly as having code that would arbitrarily force you to re-arrange the characters of a URL backwards, so that the link (forwards, normal) embeds correctly.

Today's keyword: pointless.


PS: ripster - I bet yellow people look good in black also :)

You remind me of KL. Perhaps MW.

But moving on....

I'm leaving this one here for the Koreans.

Btw, the Indonesians are making fun of you. Seems they haven't caught up yet with the new guru personality you cloned from a mole on the Oracle.

It's from a Kaskus joke (Indonesian forum). Someone registered as ripster and acts like an idiot. I don't speak Indonesian but they seem to prefer the witometer.

Yeah, I checked in for a couple of minutes yesterday, and all types of stuff was going on. How come you get banned, and others didn't? I didn't see anything you did, specifically, that should have gotten you banned.

Oh, well...

It's because yesterday imav finally threw the towel and offered a merger with deskthority. The (cleaned of trolls) user base will be transfered to us, and imav will become a moderator of the off-topic section.

Well other than accidentally deleting the Cherry MX wiki and terrorising Koreans I was just doing my standard April fool thang.

Actually KL reported me for threadcrapping his Click Clack profiteering classifieds.

For this I am Proud!

I would welcome this. GH is pretty much only an off-topic forum from my standpoint. The keyboard discussion there is... uh... not in my realm of interest. Plus, it's like talking to a bunch of 10-year-olds sometimes.

I guess, slurring people is not a bannable offense, but threadcrapping is. Whatever. Trying to profit on ClickClack's work is a dick-move anyway.

Did wonder what was going on when I saw your account was banned. It goes get quite heated over on geekhack, much more relaxed on deskthority. For two forums about the same subject they couldn't be more different.

Very little clack sales on here also. :)

Well, when you get a bunch of tee-ballers with a high sense of self-entitlement and skin thinner than bible paper, butts get hurt rather frequently. The lulz factor may not be as high here on DT, but the crowd is more mature and the discussion more relevant.

I just saw bhtooefr just moved a bunch of his reviews. Another old-timer GHer is making the (wise) switch.
