I'm having a shitty night. Cheer me up! Tell me good things about myself.

(95% chance trollstormur locks this thread)
-
i think you're a pretty okay guy, kieff. some people might have some bad things to say about you, but i am not one of them.
did i do it right?
-
Kieffer every time you come back after a while I think you are completely hilarious, then you just take a huge dump all over my opinion.
-
I thought you were hotter in the Makeout Hobo days.
I mean you're still hot, but back then... *sigh*
-
I locked your Katy Perry thread.
As long as this doesn't turn into a conversation about your tits I'm alright with it.

I'm not trying to be funny this time. I've had a pretty shitty evening and I was looking for the internet to cheer me up.
-
I locked your Katy Perry thread.

Woah I didn't even realize that thread had been locked.
-
No, you tell me good things about myself. :-(
-
...think about this, Roo.
-
You are pretty
you are my rick
you are my rock
even winds of time cant change you.
when i see you my mind starts playing Sade - cherry pie
-
Would telling you you're pretty really help you out that much?
Kieffer you're pretty.
Roo you're pretty too.
Johnny C, also pretty.
-
Kieffer, for being a kind of pretty dude, every single thread you've made in the past millennium has annoyed the pants off me, and I really don't like you anymore.
-
Yeah I can only imagine if a new poster started the sort of threads that Animal Ghosts AKA Kieffer (although last time I referred to him with his real name he got all cranky and told me not to do it again) has been posting at the moment they would be told to lurk more and the threads would be locked very quickly.
-
The slick sheen of your sallow, slimy skin disgusts me every time I look at you.

Yeah, and I don't see why it's tolerated. Because he's been around for a while? because it's part of his charm?
-

This, but I really don't think you are pretty.
Sorry man, word is you are a cool dude in meat life.
-
That too. Everyone says Kieffer is cool shit to hang out with, Why do you have to be such an annoying prick on here, man?
-
Brutal honesty. Neat.
-
Complete thread reversal does 1d8 points of slashing damage to OP and poisons him for 1d4 for the next 5 turns.
-
Kieffer from what I have recently seen of your posts you seem like a really cool guy in real life and very hit or miss where an internet is involved. Also, I like the Lucky Underwear thread.
-
Oh lord forbid someone makes a pointless thread on the internet. It's not like the new york times is talking about your donglolololololololol.
Lighten up guys, it's so easy not to click any topic made by Kieffer

These, except I don't find you all that attractive(but I have a thing against dudes who willing dress like such a god damn hipster), which whatevs. I am sure you don't find me attractive either and that's all fine and dandy. I don't typically mind your posting, but as of late, its been somewhat whiny, and annoying, and it's like babysitting a spoil 5 year old. None of this is meant to offend you, I'm just being honest.

Would you feel the same way if someone else posted those threads? It was mentioned earlier that if someone new posted those threads, they'd be told to lurk more and the threads locked, do you feel the same way?
-

The slippery slope of this attitude is you can wave away any criticism and say "ITS JUST DA INTERNETS CHILL OUT GUYZ" even if you're being genuinely horrible. Not saying everything should be taken dead seriously, just be consistent.
Hey, AG. Instinct told me to call you Kieffer but apparently you wouldn't like that because really I don't know, and that's fine. You are a pretty attractive dude sometimes. I liked it when you were trying to be the 1970s, and I liked the beard you had for a while. I like some of your opinions on fashion and music, and you views on Israel/Palestine intrigue me because they are fairly well reasoned and very opposed to my own. You can be an asshole sometimes, but I think mostly you seem like more of an asshole than you are because you don't seem to filter the contents of your brain before you say things.

Actually, yeah I do. Maybe it's just me but I don't mind that either, I've been on a large amount of forums in my time, and this is the most uptight one, but seems to have the most trouble/anxiety over bad posting, yet I've been on forums that have much more quality.
I don't know, if I don't like a poster, I don't click on a topic made by them, unless it's 10+ threads on the front page it doesn't really make a difference. But then again I have never had to not click a thread because I don't like a poster.
I think the amount of whining over new posters or people making pointless posts/etc is kind of ridiculous, and probably the reason there's so much stagnation. I know there's a lot of threads that I haven't made, even if they've been somewhat tolerable, because I do not want people to jump on me.

but the difference is there is nothing genuinely horrible in the past several threads made by kieffer, somewhat spammy? yes, bloggy? yes. But mean? horrible? no. Anyone that knows Kieffer knows that he's a genuinely nice dude, I really don't think it's that big of a deal for people who don't find something funny/interesting just not to click a thread. It's not like it's being blatantly mean and hurtful to anyone. I am all for berating that, but stupid threads are no reason to get your knickers in a knot.
-
Kieffer, I knew your name before I had ever seen you post. You might be a cool guy, you might be a dick, but, man, people really do care about you, one way or the other.
-
AG, your avatar on Dirk Hopeless just before that was banned was really ugly and I blocked it after awhile, but I hear you are a good looking dude aside from that.
(Oh god I'm sorry for being such a creepy lurker and knowing these things)
EDIT: Also, everyone seems to really enjoy having you around as seen by the last rating thread.
-
I'm with Andy on this. Despite my penchant for being a kneejerk contrarian at times, I still don't really begrudge people their posts, even if I do go so far as publicly disagree with it.
-
AG you're a good poster but all these threads about how shit we are/how good you are are fucking tedious. Maybe that's not the effect that you intend but that is how it comes across, to me anyway.
-
Man are people reacting to this thread or are people reacting to a conversation people assume we are having about somebody?
-
I'm trying to say that it's pretty unfair how, a poster who has been around before/people know, gets away with making up silly threads that would otherwise be left alone or turn into a giant post with people going it was a new poster. I mean he posted the "I'm listening to Avril Lavrigne" and the "I'm listening to Kate Perry" threads. If someone who just had one post and no one knew came along and did that they would probably just be told to shut the fuck up and post it in the "What am I listening to right now" thread.
I've not really got any beef with AG. More my problem is with the way that people will happily jump on a thread started by a new poster and tell him to shut the hell up and lurk more, whilst a ridiculous thread like this, with a main point that could have easily been made in the blog thread (It's there for a reason) gets respected members of the forums posting in it and not telling AG to move it into the blog thread.
-
But people know Keiffer is the thing. You put up with much more from someone you are familiar with than a complete stranger. It's taken as humourous instead of retarded because the people here generally know that he's not retarded, he's just being silly. This doesn't mean it's right, but it's certainly understandable.

I agree with this.

Fixed. The double standard around here is much more obvious than a lot of forums I frequent. But hey, whatever. I don't take any of it all that serious.
-
Would he have gotten as many replies? Keiffer, you're an attention whore but I don't mind. I offered to let you sleep on my couch once but you ended up not coming up this way, or I think going at all, but if you do ever decide to again and need a place to sleep say between Seattle and MPLS, the offer still stands.
-
Guys I am not even being mean anymore! I am just making jokes on an internet forum that seems to have forgotten how to make them.
-
Except this thread wasn't a joke, I just had a bad night. I didn't really need people to tell me I was pretty, I was actually looking for more meaningful feedback, and I guess I got it?
-
Guys I am not even being mean anymore! I am just making jokes on an internet forum that seems to have forgotten how to make them.
Fuck, I guess this post was kind of mean though wasn't it.
-
I don't make these threads posts in the massive threads designed for that purpose because those threads are terrifying entrenched behemoths and also they make me feel like another homogenous internet boarder with feelings and opinions.
And I ain't going out like that
-
Guys, point is, before AG's other threads, every single thread was about 'man, i'm sad, i'm frustrated, i'm upset.' that or the pointless thread. The top of these boards were pretty much constantly dominated by about five threads, and if you don't post in these, then you're pretty much not part of the forums.
I am by no means one of the old forum members, but about a year ago, the front page of this sub forum was a lot more interesting to read. Maybe the move to the Discuss has slowed this down a lot. But the pointless thread has also leeched a lot of good discussion topics. Now when people see something fun they'll put it in the pointless thread, where it kinda gets lost amongst all the other stuff.
Yeah, having everything so centered and organized is neat, but it means that it's all a lot less personal.
-
Hey Kieffer.
Hey tommy! I am sorry I used to be a huge dick to you, it was completely undeserved. I think you probably just figured it all out a little before I did, and did what you thought best at the time. You are a solid individual, doggo, and if I am ever not on probation/allowed to leave the country/wherever the fuck you are, I would be honored to buy you such as the tastiest glass of single malt and talk the talk of men.
-
hi kieffer. i know you don't know me so you won't want me to use your name but i hate calling people by their internet names. it feels weird.
anyway you seem to come off as an alright dude. i mean i have seen you be an ass and i cant say im a fan of your musical tastes. but thats okay since you seem to be pretty alright right now. and i could really give a flying fuck if you make these kinds of topics, just as long as you don't increase the pace.
hey so thats what i think.
-
I am not cool, the multipost thing is just because I like the way it forces pauses and breaks into the readers comprehension.
-
Hey Kieffer, I think you're pretty cool. When you're here the whole subforum picks up speed 'cause people are getting all riled up over inane happenings and shit starts happening.
-
kieffer, I don't really know you at all, but, as an overly hormonal teenager, I would totally fuck you. you sexy beast.
of course, as an overly hormonal teenager there's a good chance I'll screw anything with a nice enough face
-
the multipost thing is just because I like the way it forces pauses and breaks into the readers comprehension.
-
Wait did I actually post that or did I get ghost edited?
Cuz I meant like, the way you have line breaks in poetry and stuff, which forces a meter into the reading, and messes with the flow.
It's a method of emphasis.
-
Hi Kieffer.
I guess I don't really talk to you ever or anything. But you used to be in Gabbly when I would be in Gabbly and that was pretty alright.
-
What I am trying to emphasize is that like many folks on this forum, you're a pretty cool dude.
-
I guess there are also
some incredibly many cool ladies.
-
I don't know you at all, but my impression from your posts is that you're just sort of like the internet in general; you're pretty cool and funny sometimes, and just kind of needlessly dickish and douche-y others. I guess I think you're kind of okay? I doubt my opinion matters to you, but that's my two cents.
-
man fuck your two cents, this is the internet. Tits or GTFO.
nah, it's cool. everyone has an opinion on the internet
I still want those pictures

Think about it like this: you and a bunch of friends are standing around chatting. Someone you know comes up and says "oh hey guys, I'm not feeling too good, can you cheer me up?" That would be ok. If someone you didn't know did the same thing you would tell them to go away. (Ok, so some people would maybe humour the person, but I'd think the majority wouldn't).
Same thing here. Kieffer's been around for a good while and has people here who he considers friends. He is talking to those people in these threads. If you're not one of those people then feel free to ignore them. The reason we tell noobs with 5 posts who try to start stuff like this to lurk moar or go talk in the blog thread is so that we get to know them well enough so they are a part of the wider community or at least some subset of it.
I really don't understand why people don't get this. It's not that "people who have been here longer get away with more" it is that people who have been here longer probably understand how the board works/should work, will probably have more people around who actually care about what they want to say and usually have a stronger link to the underlying community of the board than say, Johnny Newguy with 2 posts starting a thread about how his girlfriend doesn't like Coldplay and what should he do about it, because seriously, fuck that guy.
-
Another thing I want to bring up, with special reference to the newer people on the boards: If you see a thread like this where it is obviously someone who's been around for a while and a bunch of other people who have obviously been around for a while are debating something about how the board is or whatever you should probably keep out of it. It's kind of like walking into someone's house where an argument is happening and trying to butt in without knowing anything about the situation. Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but you're not going to help things much.
-
I mean, honestly, if he's complaining that his girlfriend doesn't like coldplay, he has terrible taste anyway and his girlfriend should probably dump him to bone me instead.
-
Pretty much.
-
But what if he's much better looking? Such a thing is, in fact, possible.
-
He still likes Coldplay, doesn't he?
-
But what if he's much better looking? Such a thing is, in fact, possible.
Oh, come on, be realistic here.
-
I'm just trying to throw a guy a bone here.
-
No pun intended.
-

Clearly you missed this. Well said, Tom.
-
It's spelled "purdy".
Kieffer, yer reel purdy.
-
Yeah, I'd actually have to agree. AG (can I call you Kieffer? I know I don't know you at all, but I've been here a while and didn't know which was appropriate. So I'm asking), you are kind of a douche sometimes, but more often than not you're a pretty funny dude. But superseding that is the fact that god damn you are a good-looking motherfucker. No joke.
-
Wait did I actually post that or did I get ghost edited?
If you are referring to my selective quoting of your post I just meant to emphasize the part with which I agreed, i.e. I think double posts have a valid use.
-
I too enjoy double posting for this purpose!
Also I really like Kieffer, I enjoy it when he is around and things get all shaken up and everything is active and he does actually try to make these forums more interesting and fun, even if sometimes he breaks 'rules'. He is also pretty funny and although he is a douche sometimes, I generally agree with him. Hooray for Kieffer!
-
I would post in support of Kieffer, but honestly, I have supported Kieffer to the point where it has been suggested that his balls have rested on my chin while his dick was all in my throat and I enjoyed it so I mean, I can't say any more about the guy or else I guess we have butt sex also.
-
I doubt my opinion matters to you, but that's my two cents.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
-
Lighten up guys, it's so easy not to click any topic made by Kieffer
Not when they make up half the fucking main subforum, it's not.
-
Strangely enough it is still pretty easy to slide your eyes about 5cm to the right of the thread title and see it's a post by Kieffer and avoid it.
Or you could maybe judge each thread on it's own merits? I dunno, that seems preferable.
