Some of you really need to burn in Hell.

[Sean Kaiser]

*someone delete this shit*

[Todd McCloud]

I totally agree, wholeheartedly. This is obscene, and shows the social ineptness of a few.

[amtrack88]

You'll find nothing but agreement with me. What has OTG become?

[Sergeant Tasker]

Rather than flinging shit around about it, why not do something useful?

You know, like contact Puffy or something.


Let's face it, you know this rant of yours is going to do nothing but attract flames. It'll probably get closed and some people are probably going to get banned.

Why not just skip the middleman and get straight to the point and start reporting people already?

Now, I'm not saying "Ban me! Ban me!". But I am saying, if you've got a beef, then take it to the person or persons directly.

Or to someone with power. This is a rather futile thread, I've gotta say.

[Nicky McCloud]

I'm not against new people, Sean.

I'm against idiots.

There's a difference.

[Tauman]

Sergeant Tasker gets a +3 in awesome.

[Nicky McCloud]

...no, Sean, not really.

We're driving off the idiots, which is important for a society to survive.

Look at a pride of lions, for example, and the wildebeest herds that they hunt. The lions don't go for the strong, healthy wildebeest. They for the sickly, which is exactly what is happening here.

[Juju]

I admit it. I said welcome to Megga Katt, but when the stupid jokes started, I joined a handful of them. Not those directed to Megga Katt, but then again, very few were actually directed at her.

It's not sure she left for good, Megafoxy is here anyway and might convince her of coming back.
As for what's been said, I doubt it can do much harm... Since very few things were said about her. A good share of the rest was nonsense or (more or less) inside jokes.
That's sure not very welcomable, but it's not something that will really put down someone or do harm to their self-esteem. So, it could be worst I guess.

~:rolleyes:

PS : From what I've noticed since I've come here, OTG survives very well on its own. When people don't want newbies, and when people want newbies. Nobody has to worry when it comes to this.

[Mad But Happy]

I'm torn between to ways of thinking on the whole Megga Katt matter.

Yes, she made typos and such things that are looked down apon in OTG. I was exspecting people to say things to her and to correct her behavior. That is, afterall, what OTG vets do. Nothing will ever change that. No amount of "OMG GOD YOU'RE MEAN :mad: " rants will ever change the way things are done around here. So for all of you people who attempt daily in vein to change the ways of others, don't. Do what you believe is right, and do not press onto others your way of thinking. Same goes for the people being called "mean".

However, the MeggaKatt thread was a bit harsh, imo. A few people (no names) went off on a rampage as soon as she said "I'm friends with Megafoxy". I have done much worse things then she ever did, and yet I was not flammed so badly. You guys took a good thing (telling her she was wrong because...) and turned it into a bad thing. I understand where some of you were coming from, but a few of you acted like rabid baboons.

In the future flame with more "intelligence" when someone does something stupid like that.

I hesitate to post this, since up until recently I've been on good terms with some of the people who I got off on the wrong foot with. So I'll say it now: My words are not the gospel truth, and you do not have to listen to a word I say if you don't want to. That's just my opinion on this one matter, wether you agree or not is up to you.

[Neckron]

I sat here, talking to Sarge and reading this, thinking, "Someone I'll never meet disapproves of actions that I take on the Internet, which, if you are a healthy individual, will have no effect on your real life?"

And then I realized, I don't give a bloody damn.

Sean, we drive off all of the IRRITATING new people.
Some of them, anyway, some are more resilient, and for THAT I compliment them, even if they are irritating fucking bitches.
Talon Fannel and Tauman are two of the new breed that have brains.
Wow, they're here to stay, it seems.
Sort of damages the thought that we stop all of the new people from coming =/

I would sincerely appreciate it if you would stop telling me what I 'need' to do, Apathy sort of damages my ability to read this bullshit.

[Nicky McCloud]

Ah, Anna!

The perfect example.

She isn't harassed. Why? She's new, so by your reckoning, Sean, we should come down upon her like a swarm of locusts.

She's not a n00b. Newbie, yes, but not a n00b. Despite what she may have been at first, she stuck around and changed her ways. She "ran the gauntlet," per se, and came out victorious. She weathered insults and gods know what else, yet persevered and came out quite popular, as opposed to some old members of OTG who are still, after over a year of being here, fucktards in the extreme.

As I told Anna... It's easier for an intelligent person to sound like an idiot than for an idiot to sound intelligent.

Edit:

Sean, let me explain.

On the internet: Idiot = n00b
Let us examine Megga_Katt's post.

"Hella all ^^ Im Mega foxy's freind Megga Katt.

OMG! this place is crazy LOL"

Notice the gross misspellings of simple words learned in elementary school. Really, if you can't spell "mega" and "friend" by now, you'd better go and catch your brain. It's too small to wander around by itself. Also, notice the lack of proper punctuation. Now, if this were a messenger conversation, for the sake of speed, that would be allowed, but this is a MESSAGE BOARD. You can bloody well take your time posting. Plus, her later posts. Can we say "emoticon rape?" Good goddess. On Gaia, that's a bannable offense. Everywhere else, it's STILL annoying. The sheer stupidity exuded by her posts gave me a headache that, unfortunately, I still have.

[Mad But Happy]

Let me clear something up for everyone. I came here, acting like a moron, got flammed, and learned my lesson. That is why I think some of the "mean" vets have a point.

However, with MeggaKatt, things were taken to an extreme (imo). As I said, a good thing turned into a bad thing because it was handled badly by a FEW.

[LakiDash]

New or old, you're still stupid in my eyes.

But MegaFoxy is the dumbest individual I've ever seen on OTG.

Megga Katt, I don't know. I stay out of newbie threads these days.

My suprisingly low post count(for me) proves I don't care anymore.

[Todd McCloud]

In the beginning, she was treated poorly by some. But, the more people grew accostumed to her, the more she was accepted.

[Mad But Happy]

Sean. I acted like a dumb ass. If OTG had not been wiped clean by the hacker, I would show you where.

[Nicky McCloud]

...which is why that line is in there, Todd.

Running the gauntlet is important, Sean. Hell, take jobs for example, or even school. There is always more stress in the beginning, and if you can't weather it, you're fucked.

[Neckron]

Respect has to be earned.
You can't just automatically give it to someone.

[Nicky McCloud]

Kinda how you show courtesy and respect by screaming that we all belong in hell, when by religious differences some of us don't believe in such a place?

I come here, Sean, because I have friends here, and PMs, at the moment, are one of the few ways that I can speak to my boyfriend.

And besides, if you don't give a damn about rights, then why bother fighting for the rights of a n00b?

[Stonehenge]

Does anyone else think Megga_Katt was a doubled account of MegaFoxy's with intentional errors to make MegaFoxy seem more intelligent?

Or maybe I'm paranoid.

Either way, I've got a "let them eat cake" approach to dumb people. I don't care that they're dumb. Hell, I was pretty stupid when I was younger too. I just kind of assume that they'll get better with age. And if they don't, I don't care.

[Franklin]

Hey, I have a fun idea! Instead of being assfucks to n00bs who can't spell worth two quarters, why don't we just tell them that their expected to make an effort to spell properly and act dignified and not treat this place like a Jerry Springer childrens special if they want to be a functioning and respected member of the OTG community? I think that would be a much better approach then the current tactics being implemented.

[Nicky McCloud]

Because n00bs don't listen to constructive criticism.

This has been proven.

I point you to Zelda, Krystal, and Megafoxy.

Sean, dear, you are my friend and have been for years. Think about what is being said. We're not speaking about superiors and seats of power, such as a teacher. We're talking about peers. You had to earn my respect, did you not? I had to earn yours, as well.

[Neckron]

You know what?
I've been quite nice to some of our resident n00bs.
Very nice, given them a chance, tried to point out problems(With the tiny hint of sarcastic humor) to them in a civil manner.
I'll be damned if it didn't work, Franklin.

Actually, I think it might have worked once, but I can't remember that person's name.
Damnit.

[dag yo g]

Even worse is these people are probably too stupid to realize that if no new people join, the board will fucking die.

I know you addressed this but, if I'm gone, I don't care if the board is dead. (I'll explain something else momentarily)

Think about it...

We are not going to be on OTG forever. I know it, everyone reading this knows it. We will get jobs, raise families, and have other things to do. Then what will happen to the community? Well, as old people leave, new people come and become the cool vets to the next generation of new people and so on, it's the proverbial circle of life.

But guess what...

Refer to my above statement.

YOU DRIVE OFF ALL THE FUCKING NEW PEOPLE DUE TO YOUR BULLSHIT ELITISM! Do you know what that means? When we leave, there will be no one to carry on, and OTG will be fucking DEAD.

Elitism? What elitism? Me hating idiots has nothing to do with elitism. In order to claim that it is elitism you would also make yourself an elitist because you have so outspokenly said that you hate us.

Now, you may be saying, "Why should I care if OTG dies, I won't be around?". I will say this only once, it is the truth and the absolute gospel.

If you do not care about this community, you need to get the fuck out right now!

Wait, wait, wait... It's NOT okay for us to to tell someone to go away because we don't like them but perfectly okay for you to tell us to go away if you don't like us? STFU you hypocrite.

And don't you dare throw this FREEDOM shit in my face. Just because you have the right to be here doesn't mean you should.

Likewise, you raging hypocrite. Your view carries no inherently higher value than mine. Especially, when it's something as subjective as this. You act as you see fit and I act as I would like to.

[Todd McCloud]

...which is why that line is in there, Todd.

I don't remember everyone "running the gauntlet", if you know what I mean.

[amtrack88]

There is no "running the gauntlet". It's just one of many excuses for some people to act up and treat others like garbage here.

[Todd McCloud]

Ther is no "running the gauntlet". It's just one of many excuses for some people to act up here.

My point exactly.

[ABigFox]

Most of you know by now that I don't really give a shit if you flame me with "OMG you are such an idiot", so don't even start that. Also, as for earning popular support, well I don't really care for that either, I mean for christ sakes it is an INTERNET BOARD not the world, if all some of you here do is ciriticise and judge someone on their poor grammer then GO OUT AN GET A FUCKING LIFE, this is a board not a goddamned English class! Also, the deal w/ Megga_Katt was pretty immature I doubt you could come to the conclusion that she was a complete idiot in 1 hour or even just a handful of posts. In addition, maybe it doesn't register w/ some of you but their is actually the life of a member before they join OTG, noone starts their existance on this earth when they first join the board. So, lots of new people have pretty interesting ideas if you are willing to listen and not be stuck up w/ ignorance only believing what you post. Also, alot of people n00bs and vets alike bitch about how the board sucks, and is going downhill. Perhaps, this slump could be avoided if you didn't drive off new people w/ new opinions and a fresh outlook on this place. You can go ahead an flame me or whatever you want to do, I will just laugh at you knowing that some of you have absolutly no lives. Well, thats my take on it all. ABF

[Nicky McCloud]

Just because you didn't notice it doesn't mean that it's not there, Todd.

I had to do it, as well. Sean himself did, in fact, but he must not remember it. Everyone hated him before he finally wised up and changed his ways. Tawney, Anna... Everyone had to. You had to earn respect from the older members--your PEERS, not your betters--before they, in turn, gave you respect.

I'd like to refer to the post above mine as proof of a n00b that doesn't take constructive criticism and use it to his advantage...

[Mad But Happy]

Obviously everyone thinks they are right, while the other person is wrong. In all honesty, it dosen't matter anymore. Mega-whatever isn't coming back, and fighting over her wastes everyone's time. So lets all agree to disagree, and move on with our lives in OTG and beyond.

[dag yo g]

Guess what? You guys gave me shit from the minute I got here. Granted I asked for it but it's a gauntlet nonetheless.

Also, just because I ride the line between arguing with someone and flaming them without substance doesn't exonerate you from being guilty of reciprocal behavior.

[ABigFox]

Why would anyone new person give respect to someone that judges them as idiots by their first post, honestly do you really expect to get respect by being negative (this is not directed at you personally) to someone when they first show up. If you were to show up at a job and your boss was a complete asshole would you have automatic respect for him, no you wouldn't you would probably avoid giving him any respect and ignore him. Same applies here.

[Franklin]

Yeah, it doesn't matter Anna. Until happens again, and again, and so on and so forth. When this happens forth the 50th time, maybe you won't be so apathetic. We don't have to be pricks to tell n00bs they need to pay attention to how they type and what they type.

[Nicky McCloud]

A boss is not a peer.

He or she is an authority figure.

If someone came over to my real friends and I and started acting like a complete dumbass...we wouldn't have respect for them at all.

[Sean Kaiser]

Please stop posting, and let this verbal triade die.

Well, yeah, but not immediately in the "welcome" thread. Mine, as well as almost everyone's, came at least a few days later, or at least in another thread. You know? We're not the germans on Omaha beach, where we obliterate every moving piece of debris with our machine guns. We're a community. Don't put them to the test immediately when they sign up, or else no one would really join (most of us who had been around would not have anyway). Ease in on it, if you must feel that you have to establish your aw-thor-i-ti.

[Nicky McCloud]

You could always delete it, hon.

If you don't, the n00bs are just going to flood in with pointless "LOLZ UR RITE" posts.

[LakiDash]

I will once again openily state my opinion on balance. I will do it very bluntly so, so everyone, dumb and not dumb, can understand it.

There must be nice people, mean people, new people, old people, intelligent posters, dumbass posters, people with grammar, people without grammar, assholes, trolls, n00bs.

Just like the real world and most anywhere you go, this place must be filled with all sorts of people from all over to thrive.

End.

[Mad But Happy]

Frank... I agree. But what's done is done. We're fighting over someone who isn't here anymore. Perhaps if she remained this arguement would have more meaning to me. But since she's gone, it dosen't.

[Todd McCloud]

just for fun, read the thread from the beginning again. It's a riot with Sean's edit in his first post. lol!

[ABigFox]

If someone came over to my real friends and I and started acting like a complete dumbass...we wouldn't have respect for them at all.

Exactly, so if someone acts like an ass to you on the board do you have respect for them? No! so why should a n00b give anyone support on the board that acts like an ass right from the get go.

P.S> Nothing personnal against you Nicky.

[Nicky McCloud]

*SNORT*

Now THAT is funny.

Especially with your first post, Todd.

You don't listen very well, do you?

1) This thread is DEAD. Shut the fuck up already.

2) Wow. You're dumber than I thought. You don't come over to a group of people and act like an idiot in order to gain respect. You come over, sit down, and introduce yourself in a friendly manner. If you don't, you get bitched at. It's that simple.

[Mad But Happy]

For me, this thread has ended. I have said all I need to say. To all of you who don't agree with me, that's fine. You have a right to do that. I wil think no less of you.

Then what was Megga's great sin, she introduced herself in a decent way.

The thread is not dead, people are still treating n00bs like shit.

You can delete this thread yourself if you wish. Just click on the edit button on your first post, & there's an option to delete the thread at the top of the page.

Sure, here's how you REALLY delete this shit... click the [X] in the upper right hand corner of your browser and never open it up again.

And yet it stll hasn't been deleted.

Let's all bitch about nonsence until Puffy closes it, just like every other stupid thread about not treating others badly!

IT NEVER GETS OLD!

Can you pompous cocks just... you know... QUOTE BEFORE YOU FUCKING POST!? So when the faggots delete their post we can still laugh at it. Look at what Dag did, there you go. Try it.

...Aargh, i hate cats, all they do is run away from you and piss on everything :@!

Poppycock.

First off:You're performing a more mystical form of Necromancy.
This thread's use, whatever it was, has been exhausted, and your post is just prolonging it's life.
