Ode To Trolls
It's no secret that facebook has severely hit the popularity of forums like this. I myself have been pretty absent for the past 5 years or so.
I think, however, there's another problem. The trolls have gone. They've died out. They're extinct. People stopped feeding them and they starved. Trolls were a nightmare but they were a damn fun nightmare. Arguing with a troll did provide a weird sense of satisfaction. Bickering about them, watching drama ensue. When I first started here it was OMCdave and Trippin_The-Riff. Then Renob, there was that weird middle aged lady who kept schooling people on their swearing etc. Bring back trolls. |
I remember that obnoxious kid Ferretchucker. Ugh, what a nob.

Old timer's stories. I remember user Sam the Egg ("The STE"), who had quite a following for awhile. User kpropain was the nearest HDC has come to a troll moderator IMO. Would get drunk and ban longtime members.
It's interesting to see how internet drama has migrated from chat rooms and message boards to Facebook. |

Just a shame that the drama these days is all political inflammatory stuff. What ever happened to good old irrelevant, surreal trolling? |

The reason I actually *had to* change accounts (I made a few myself), was because it seemed like someone got onto my account, copied pages of text and posted them everywhere, requesting to be banned all the while. I am pretty sure that's this account - got it back some time ago. |
