The Point?
 

Just curious as to the point of the new members section here - As far as I can tell - new people introduce themselves and then the old-timers tell them one of two things:
1) fuck off
2) quit spamming (and fuck off).

:confused:

not always the case

It's an initiation of sorts. You gotta take shit before you can deal it out.

Welcome to Horror.com
pleased to have you aboard:)

Re: Re: The Point?
 

the image didn't come through for me (which is very disappointing since Shanks posts the funniest shit. . .

p.s. I stand by my point - look through all the "Hi, I'm new" posts - they are all followed by "Welcome to the board - now fuck off"

:rolleyes:

Re: Re: Re: The Point?
 

what do you mean "didn't come through" ?!? ....didn't come through the fucking train tunnel?? ...didn't come fuckin through the pussy hole?

goddamn, people need to start talking some straight shit around here, before I realy get going in this friggin n00b thread.... fucking n00bs :rolleyes:

Re: Re: Re: Re: The Point?
 

THE IMAGE was not visible - you blithering idiot. if you want to try to be funny (as opposed to just beligerent) then make sure your stupid "funnies" image is visible to those reading the board. Otherwise its just as pointless as the rest of your mildly abusive and generally irritating posts.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Point?
 

it is visible.... sort out your Pc, before blaming the forums Vbulletin code for uploaded images.

BUT THERE'S no image - just some thing about the funny being unavailable - why can't I see the funny?????

(damn your gullible as well as rude)

no you're the gullible one... you people just don't get the Uk's talent for great sarcasm.


lol

one day he'll get the joke

we hope.

While I get your joke (and got it originally but was just yanking your chain) - I do think SHanks and Zwoti make my point - generally the attitude around here is that until you've posted over 3000 - your a pathetic noob and don't count and are worthy only to be objects of ridicule. I get most of the humor (even the british since I lived in the UK for a number of years - so you can spell it humour if you'd like) but do find the attitude a curious one at times.

The only point I'm making is that in this "new member's lounge" some poor slob posts "hey I'm new" and then the attitude pops out.

But, anyway, I'm done with this conversation.

forget all this jangling for a mo...

... I know where you're coming from about the bashing. It's not just about the 'big number' posters having a go at the new people, anyone joins in. Amusement can be had, from seeing someone getting riled up when they make their first few posts in this part of the forums. Some take it with a 'pinch of salt' and laugh it off. Then there's the other n00bs, the one's we bait, who get annoyed and take the bait... these are the people we're after... the ones who argue back, which gives us more of an amusing incentive to bash away... childish, ...maybe, but if a n00b can't see the funny side of it, then thats their issue not ours.

;)

fair play to you -- cheers!:D

Good, take a fucking hike you nutsack licking cum guzling jerkoff :D ...and one more thing....

That's really unfair - - - - I never guzzle, I sip in a most sophisticated manner :D

Here's a no brainer: Don't post in the New Members forum.

Two years ago, when I joined HDC, I took one look at the New Members forum and simply jumped in the General. No one noticed, and here I am.

Re: The Point?
 

The point is you suck donkey nuts and your mother is a whore.

I regret not doing this myself...if only I had taken the time to see how other noobs were treated, I could've saved myself from the bashing...flaming...torture...etc...;)

But yeah...like ShankS said...it's all in good fun. Eventually, you'll come to appreciate this section for a right old laugh...you'll also appreciate that you're not the victim anymore:D

I never made a n00b post either, I just started saying shit in the general forum...

And look at me now! I'm like, the most respected guy ever!

I miss noob abuse.:(

Bravo Zero!! I'm glad there are a few adults here. This pattern seems to have stopped now, thankfully.

Alright Sistinas, and anyone that's been here for some time, I would love to hear a history of HDC, in particular the mass cleanup that became necessary a couple of years back. With all the complaining about new members never sticking around and traffic being lighter than it was back in the "good old days", I'm curious to hear what happened back then and possibly steps that can be taken to improve things now.

P.S. And I can't help but notice two MODERATORS participating in this childish practice.

Noob bashing was fun. It was simple-a new member makes a introductory thread and was greeted with a flurry of creative "fuck you"'s. After that they were treated like any one else here.

As far as "mass cleanups", the only one that springs to mind is Kpro's drunken spree.:rolleyes:

As far as making a difference? Not much you can do IMO. Online forums are like wearing a beeper in this day and age. Online forums are a dinosaur.

I just wondered how many people were greeted this way and just decided not to return. It just seems very juvenile.

I expect you're right about forums being archaic. I have no intention of joining Facebook, so I'll stick around here as long as it's up.

I remember when I first joined there was a lot more traffic and a lot more agro. It really sucked the fun out of posting sometimes and the 'hazing' wasn't just restricted to the noob threads. There was definitely a culture of antagonism although, it didn't deter me and probably didn't deter too many others.

Shortly before I disappeared for a couple of years (due to a WoW addiction) there was the OMC Dave willy flashing scandal which resulted in some expulsions and a revising of attitudes. But the board is definitely much improved and a great resource for sharing knowledge.

At the beginning of this post, __V__ mentions this 'cleanup' that apparently destroyed the traffic flow.http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost...7&postcount=74

....I don't think I've ever gotten shit....

Ahhhhhh, the OMCdave incident. I DO NOT agree with skeevy old dudes trying to use the 'net for underage tang. However, I never witnessed him do or say anything out of line(except his silly(fucking dumb) posts). I talked to the guy on chat and the phone, I really don't think he was the demon people made him out to be.In all the conversations we had he never once mentioned scoring underage snatch on the net.

I seriously think Dave was run off because some vets didn't like him. They didn't like his posts. Some people here may not be mods but they call shots;). As online forums die this problem is a scapegoat. Dave didn't kill this forum-facebook and elitist veterans did.

Really- dredging up 5 1/2 year old threads and then trying to cause issues today about what happened back then is the best you folks can do for amusement?


And double really- you talked to the guy on the phone a couple times and he never said "hey, I'm a pedophile and I troll the internet for kids?" Well, damn, we got the guy all wrong. It must have been people's imagination, those pictures he posted.

It wasn't OMCdave that posted those pics was it? I thought it was that other piece of shit whose name escapes me. Dude's a fucking scumbag regardless and this place is better off without him.

Elitist veterans? Say what?

JESUS FUCKING CRIST YOU GODDAMN IDIOT(go ahead and ban THIS account:rolleyes:)

Monsterdad posted the fucking pics and they were 2 different people.You are a cranky old cocksucker that never should have been a mod. Now go ahead and delete this post and delete my account.

YOU KNOW you abuse your power.

In the real world you know i am younger, stronger, smarter, and faster than you. Basically, I'd kick your geriatric ass. So go ahead and make your "internet bad-ass" comments-but remember that you are a bitch.

Monsterdad and trippi_the_riff pulled that shit.

Chill out man...

You are right EC(one of the few who I respect around here) I'm being a bit shitty about this shit.

I just think they have picked shitty mods to run this place. It has become a shithole- You gotta worry about upsetting a noob or pissing off a mod.


All in all-I just wish neverending would stick his dumb fucking station that no one listens too and stick it up his ass. No one listened to the awards, no one is listening now. No one cares about your gay station. GET THE FUCKING HINT?

You are a dumb old fucking cunt for missing the point. I'm sorry this site decided to put old cranky douche bags in charge.

$99? That makes me angry! :D
