Something to think about

Arguing and fighting on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics.

Even if you win, you're still retarded.

Wow, lol thats a old quote.

Yeah well, since there's been so much flaming around here lately I thought
I'd make all the people arguing feel stupid.

Not too much. I fell like we've done a good job of containing it.

OMG...

WTF??

LOL

...bbq?

zomg

ROFL

MOFO

I hope you know what I was refering to. :|

Not too much. I fell like we've done a good job of containing it.

Subliminal Messages in this?

Not subliminal, but a message that sure does piss me off.

Master of time...i agree..too much fighting..i agree with silverlines that link too.

just wanted to say we dont fight for no reason...we take nesesary steps which is for the development of this site and helpful cuz it prevents ppl who are silly.

Eg.this site is like a tooth....we are the paste....once the brush comes to vipe us over..we come together and spread like paste..and soon the brush is gone and the tooth is clean :wink:

Preventing people that are silly? Sounds more to me like "preventing people that have a sense of humor" when you put it that way.
Flame wars and ignorance is bad and all, but what's so wrong about having a strange sense of humor?
What is this, a pro-eugenics board? Sterilize the feeble-minded? Jeez.

thats one way to put it, but the general audience thinks its just bull s***. even tho you win an argument against someone halfway around the world, in reality there aint no winners

Inaru <3 Lady of my dreams <3
lol~
So arguing in person isnt retarded? lol =\

think you are "controling" those who clearly control you is alot more retarded.

let's think

who controls who, blaze controls inaru or inaru controls blaze?

that's just for the little scale of miss "i contained" and mr "unstoppable"

when reply at blaze's actions - inaru would just encourage blaze to go on, either by telling him it's "retarded" or by ignoring him or by encouraging him for the sake of trying to "Contain" me.

now, it's seems like people have problems with the flaming and at times with spamming of any sort.

now, without flaming and spamming you lose about 75% of the forums activity
what's more , the none-flame/spam topics only get attention of some flames go there, it is only then when people post inty opinions
also people like blaze and mental make anyone who attack them sound like the smartest person on earth.

meaning- cutting the spam/flame will cut the forum's lifespan
of course, if you want a proof, ip ban blaze mental jesse and anyone else you feel like banning for life.
resulting-  i won't have anyone to call stupid so i'll have to cut out the flaming parts of my posts, without them no one even bothers debating because i simply sound right.
every topic will then have up to 2 pages but usually 1
project section will die (Cause no one actually make a game they just post a lame overused story)
spam section will die as there will be no one to laugh at.
forum games will die cause only the spamming group of people play them more often than not.
inty debate will die because that is the flame section in which i can quitely make all of those weirdos feel dumber than they are

we are left with scripts- dead cause every script can be found via the search button, no one here makes scripts anyways and stop asking for events in the script section people.

tutorial will die cause even requests now walked to troubleshooting
ts will die if spam will be cutted cause i answered every possible question already so search button >>
maker talk will die cause... there is nothing in it anyways

resources will die cause other than posting a new thingy there really shouldn't be anything there...
we all know you all rush into saying 10/10 for everything

we are left with a few alive sections which will get 2-3 topics a day, each having 1-2 replies and in that case... death silence around the forums.

meaning- flame/spam control you - if you make it stop you die with it but you can't even make it stop cause it's a living fact.

so if you are all controled by "retarded" things then you are controled by what you call retards and that makes you alot worse.

yes blaze if you didn't realize it so far, and i am sure you didn't i just said you got power.

Boredom, lack of self esteam and low tolerance will start flames.

• Flamers can't get respect in real life to make themselves feel good, so they attack those online, hiding behind anonymity. They understand there are no consequences to their actions.
• They cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake, they make up for their own imperfections by hidhlighting others. It's like blaming someone else for how terrible their life supposedly is.
• People are bored they do stupid things, usually destructive.
[/list:u]

That summarises many people AND posts on this forum.

That's funny that you even attempt to justify your flames, it's a shame the exact opposite is true, my points above.

I don't know about that. I know plenty of people that flame and troll furiously on forums, but are actually really cool, decent people off the forums. They just flame and troll to amuse themselves, and when you realize that truth, it can sometimes be amusing to you, too. You just gotta learn to not take things too seriously on the internet.

I was trying to make a reference to Halo and the flood. But whatever. You all can think as much into 2 sentences as you want to. Blue, just because I try to take everyone's side just as much, dosn't mean I'm against you. If you noticed, I decided to stop trying to help Blaze, and I jumpped out of the flame war.

yar flaming is amusing and keeps the forums alive.

imp- maybe that is what you meant by boredom though such as it happens all the time , it's just the good thing to do.
the 2 other points are just a laugh, it's always the bad guys who are "misunderstood" or just "want attention" though if treated like you believe they are you pay a dear price and only then you realize they didn't want attention , they only did just plain want to see your pain.

truth is sometimes far more complicated than something you could guess.
though of course your version of the truth can hit the mark from time to time as there are many types of human apes.

let's go around your points which are shockingly actually partly true even for me

"Flamers can't get respect in real life"- not true, not in my case, i am not saying i am the most popular guy at school and chased by girls , that would be an obvious lie, but as the avg joe i get the respect i need from the people i choose to be around.


"hiding behind anonymity. They understand there are no consequences to their actions. " - that's not always true, it just so happens that if you find a place you like or a place you need you will try not to earn an ip ban.

"They cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake, they make up for their own imperfections by hidhlighting others."- good one
i am one of those stubborn people that until they won't have the shade of a doubt there is no way they are right they will not say there are wrong.
but as far the the 2nd part goes, no.
such as being both stubborn and decent i don't point at others' holes i cover my own, usually i can justify even the dumbest of moves, when i can't i simply ignore it and move on, mistakes that cannot be covered happen but they are not something i enjoy running around.

"People are bored they do stupid things, usually destructive. " - when i am bored i become "drunked with happiness" it doesn't make me make stupid things, just act like that weirdo that makes people laugh
it's the inner demon of my serious ,turth seeking character
at those points i am likely to push the line but i will still be ables to cover the holes in my defense

and besides, you won't know how fun it really is to feel so smart, not often will you come across such a bunch of ignorant teens that will stay and talk no matter how hard you bash them
