i don't care, give it to me, i'm a big kid! whaddyawaitinfor?

I really do miss Drac's and IA75's noob greetings.....thay put a lot of thought into it.
So now we gotta play nice and we can't weed out the pansy's.
Although we are getting some decent posters as of late....she_died for example and WevieStonder may have potential.

HDCs genes are weaker now :(

Pink dresses and Lite beer have become the new uniform :eek:

So long as hardcore posting regulars can take their own medicine, n00b flaming should be allowed.

Jeeeesus Christ shut the fuck up with that.

I'm really tired of takin' shit about a beer I don't even drink anymore.

oh hell...
'hand on heart'..
you have seen it all then..?

Onward brave soldier..onward i say'

'SALUTE'

:D

it's ok, ignore bullies, i'll they want is to bully you

I want the old ways back... I got me a new asshole torn when I joined...and I loved every second of it.

My joining wasnt to great either

I am totally open to it at the moment.
I am in the most fucked up mood and I could dish out some major shit right now.
Side affect from dealing with dickless local politicians.


Bring it the fuck on assholes:D

rip me a new asshole

Same here! I got ripped on so bad when I joined Horror,com (for good reason though. I think we all still remember that dreaded My new avatar thread. Ugh!) I just kicked back and laughed my ass off!!!

Cool!!
That would be great...
...only,I find absolutely no fault with you.
Why couldn't you be an asshole?:D



damn:(

Go ahead.
 

Im new, you want to scare me off, go ahead and try. I like a challange. F*** with me and Ill send the spawn of Ubbo-Sathla to you.

I would but your like 30 yrs older than me, I cant talk trash to someone that is that much older than me.

I didnt get it TOO bad when I signed up....Sam [AKA The STE] and Kpro ripped on me pretty good, but Wufong [of all people] stuck up for me....so I stuck around for awhile and the other 7000 posts [and 2 bannings] are history :D :D

Ya like braggin bout' that 7000 plus, don't ya?:p

i could be, i slit the throat of every single person that you are close to, now tear me a new asshole

My only problem was joining under my usual "DarthVonPokemon" monicker at the time "DarthBane" was being constantly banned for practicing Assholism on a regular basis. After it was determined I wasn't him, I had no problems (until the 'Got Beef ? Bring It, MF !' war, which is why HDC is only place on net I'm no longer registered as DVP).

Coming to the HDC forums and making the first post was actually rather frightening for me, not so much because regulars might start bashing me than the feeling of stepping into a room where everybody is gathered in their own groups and are already familiar with one another.

As much as I have noticed that many people get bashed because of their posts, there is another reason that I can think of, which may contribute to people leaving as quickly as they come.

When replying to posts, I've noticed people starting up conversations that are only ever understood by those in the know. Those who've been around here awhile. Those who know the "secret handshake," as it were.

I think this can easily alienate others, and make them feel unwelcome. Like outsiders. While some might take that as a challenge to initiate the interaction of getting to know old members better, others may simply make up their minds to leave.

Just a thought.

I really don't see the problem, and how is one "bashed" on the internet? If we're talking about members of cliques (you know who you are, suckers!) where one post might follow another to the tune of familiar agreement and clever/snide words about a new user... why, you can have hours of fun turning this on its head and poking these sad creatures with sticks!

My advice is to remember we're all the same geeks and nerds hiding behind computer screens, so if you spot a status quo then subvert it - why sign up to something open and allow other users to create their own equilibrium?

Characters on a flashing monitor can't hurt you.

See ..and thats it right there..
We are all individuals..who have the same passion in horror movies.
There is no secret club or group..in fact
the regs spend most of the time arguing amongst themselves..damn the gloves have come off a few times in here..but ..!!once all the cuss words are said and the thread has lost its thrill..people move on.
Alot of new members just jump in and join the conversation..and just make themselves part of the forum.
In fact ..when they do that..we dont even notice that thier post count is only 2 or 3 :D .
Other new members just walk in..post up links to their 'web sites' then leave..
OTHER new members sign up..
abuse crap out of everybody..
makes out they are mightier than thou..
thats when we all bond together.
As for feelings...who gives a crap..
if the new member is a trouble maker..and yes we have had a few..
then the rest of the HDC forum whores are going to tell them to FUCK OFF ..!!

Nah, we have our cliques... no way around it, ya make friends here and show it within the threads. But that's why if you're new you have to try and make some friends... otherwise you're a lil' bit out on your ass.

It's tough but its how it is around here. And Stubbs... we ALWAYS notice a n00b's post count.

Jeez I dont even know If i have any friends here...Ritualistic and i PM alot, but now hes never on....ugh....

I went through alot but there ar eharsher forums outthere for one twhavalon try to post in there boiler room.

Bring back the old days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously it's getting really boring here now not flaming any noobs....It's not like we all didnt get flamed when we first joined.......It's a right of passage now ANYONE can come here and start shit and we have to be like little girls and not say anything which is really gay......















ZWOTI LET US FLAME NOOBS AGAIN U SON OF A BITCH!:D

LMFAO!, Hes right though! I never even had a chance to flame a noob, because the rule started right after i joined.

How do you define one?

Thinking about my earlier post, I do have to state that most of the bashing (or flaming?) in threads is usually aimed at people who merely post in order to rant about hating horror movies, whatever the titles happen to be, without any additional input.

You're right, It'sAlive75. Newbies bear the heavier load of making the intiative to interact in the threads, so regulars have a chance to get to know them better. That's not to say that regulars need not take up their end of the equation. There are many who do.

I do think it's a two-way street and from personal experience, there's been a lot of interaction with friendly regulars who've had very interesting input in the discussion that I happen to be very interested in.

I don't understand that, Dante'sInferno. Isn't it for the purpose of building an internet community of individuals around the world who share a common love for horror, that HDC forum exists?

While the bond -- as varying in degrees as it may be -- shared among HDC forum members often comes in full and ruthless force against glaringly stupid posts from newcomers, I would draw the line against bashing newbies for the simple reason of having gone through the ordeal myself.

haha good times :p

Do ppl actually look at the post counts ??
LOL...

Lick my balls :D
