Title: Fuck You, Animal Ghosts
Post by: Yunior on 30 Jan 2009, 09:51
Because even though his advice (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,22330.msg769214.html#msg769214) is probably legit, the weight of the Past is heavy on my brain.

Secretly, I know he is right; but all the times he's ever dissed me, or called me out on a bad joke, or told me I was fat when really I am just curvy and don't photograph well, or maligned my new Pumas ("I've had that pair for like two fucking years and bright shoes are so in that they're totally out now, anyways" nah-na-nah blah-blah bloo), makes it pretty easy to go collectively two-minute hate on his shit.

This thread is so we can all maybe move on from the Legacy of a Big Jerk, because it seems like he is trying to play nice now.
It is a List of Grievances.

Once Animal Ghosts dissed my jeans, he said they made my thighs look like baby cattle.
I think I just replied with "lol, oh . . .", but I can't stop thinking about it and now when I try on jeans I get worried that I look straight-up bovine.
Also before he was such a fag-for-fashion, he used to talk about music a lot and was constantly dissing on my taste. Look, Chutes Too Narrow was a perfectly great album, fun and poppy, and if he couldn't see that, then whatever. I never really acknowledged those posts, because I feel like I was above that kind of pettiness. But I did go into IRC or Gabbly and openly wonder who the fuck he thought he was, anyways.

I would like to tell Animal Ghosts to go fuck his mother
Animal Ghosts, go fuck your mother

It may not be right, but there are more tactful ways of handling stuff like that than creating this thread.  Like Jens said, PMs are appropriate for that kind of thing.

Actually I found this thread kind of funny.

While I agree we should be pleasant and fluffy to newbies I also think internet people should stop getting sticks up their asses and being so sensitive. This forum gets very sensitive. It's the internet!

Quote from: Ptommydski
If I was to compare Kieffer to a historical person, it would be the late, great Hunter S Thompson.
Jesus tommy why don't you just fuck him already.

Kieffer has a place in the forum as the guy who just doesn't really give a fuck. He's not really tied down by anything, not sense or respect or anything else. He serves a purpose. And he's welcome to be here.

In one of the other threads he jokingly referred to himself as a "board villain", which on its face seems like an accurate description, but really, he's only really a villain to people who are entirely too serious or just new to the boards. He's a part of this board's Old Guard and as such he gets leeway to be a sort of dick, because everybody who's been around for awhile knows his traditional role as provocateur and they know it's not a big deal. Any other forum on the internet is probably going to have at least one of those guys. Occasionally when he crosses the line into full-blown motherfuckery the admins will slap him on the wrist. That's how these things work.

We certainly wish him luck in his future endeavors in medicine / finance / entertainment / government.

Post by: Yunior on 30 Jan 2009, 12:42
I think Clara is trying to defend Kieffer through humour but I feel like that is ultimately pointless because historically he really doesn't need or want defending, at least not in my experience of him.

I really dig that this is in the same post as "Kieffer reminds me a little bit of Hunter S. Thompson."

Although, for the record, I wasn't so much defending Kieffer as I was trying to satirize a lot of the forum's response to him, so that maybe we could move on from it? HJB has it, we are an incredibly sensitive bunch. I am making light of that. Actually there was a really simple formula here: Take one of Kieffer's more base or stock insults, make it more aggravating, and then respond to it in a really whiny, tongue-in-cheek fashion that we can all recognize and laugh at. The point of this thread was silliness. It wasn't actually a wail-on-Kieffer thread. Historically he is one of my favorite people, because he's such good people. I'm pretty sure I kept him from being banned on a couple different occasions.

Fun? Do you remember fun, guys?



Jhocking I think that haircut is really charming, like you have a tiny rodent on your head
(I also remember thinking it was a hat. How long ago was that?)

Kieffer is the dude I fucking hated to bits before realizing he is a pretty okay guy.

Clearly you still bear resentment that these jokes were funny in 2007. And aren't now.

Seriously guys, there's a thread over yonder devoted to 'Things we should stop doing'. I think jokes we've been making for nigh on 2 or 3 years should be among those.

I really did leave tyler alone on drugs in the middle of the desert, but he's the one who ended up having a bunch of sex that night. I just had a little bit of sex.

Also, to be fair I've always considered myself more of an Andy Kaufman than a Hunter S Thompson, but that's just me.

I didn't realize it was Clara either. I knew I recognized the name, but I think there was a boy here who posted once whose name was Jacob and went by Yacob or something. I only ever talked to her once or twice on Gabbly. She was nice! We talked about bras!

And Keiffer is a dude who is sometimes a jerk and it sometimes nice. He is usually pretty funny though either way! And he looks really good in suits. And most things. Someone posted that "Dirk Hopeless Rates You as a Poster" thread before; that might explain a little better. They are one in the same. Actually I think that maybe 25% of the people on this forum are actually Keiffer. He has probably achieved myth status here at this point, to be honest.

That thread just makes me sad and makes me miss a lot of people.

If you're unsure as to how much of an asshole HST could be, I humbly recommend you read Ralph Steadman's excellent memoir, The Joke is Over, which aside from being supremely entertaining also contains a lot of Dr. Thompson's correspondences where he is a total and utter cunt for no reason whatsoever.

It's pretty great.
Title: Re: Fuck You, Animal Ghosts
Post by: Professor Snuggles on 30 Jan 2009, 20:26
I know HST was a douchebag, one of my good friends parents ran the Woody Creek Tavern in aspen for years, were close personal friends of his, and are full of stories about what a douche he was.

One time he enlarged a picture shot it with a shot gun, and splashed red paint on it, and gave it to them to cover his bar debt.

i like kieffer. sometimes he might be unnecessarily mean but really, i almost always agree with the point he's making in his mean posts anyway so i don't really care enough to get upset. it seems to me like maybe now the main reason he gets such harsh responses is just cos people hear he's a dick and so that reputation has stuck with him? as soon as he says anything even remotely harsh it's "man, typical kieffer being a dick again" yet there are people on this forum who i think are or have been much meaner but they get away with it because for some reason they don't have his reputation of being an asshole. being in a constant state of disliking kieffer and expecting him to be a dick no matter what is something we can probably try to move on from.

Fun? Do you remember fun, guys?

Vaguely!  My take on the situation is that the regulars have basically done the obvious fun threads to death already and are kind of stuck at an impasse.  How do we get less serious?  I realise I am at fault here too, I just don't know what to do about it.
Title: Re: Fuck You, Animal Ghosts
Post by: pwhodges on 31 Jan 2009, 02:14
You don't go on having fun by doing the same things again and again, that's arrested development; there needs to be change or development of some kind.  As an outsider, my impression is that the inner core of regulars here has become too inward-looking and cliquey, rather a club within a club (the parallel existence of the Gabbly/Meebo group seems at times to be another divisive element in these forums).  Ask yourselves what reasons these groups have to exist other than inertia, and see where that takes you.
Title: Re: Fuck You, Animal Ghosts
Post by: Gurkburk on 31 Jan 2009, 03:28
My first thought was that kieffer made this thread himself just to get more attention but then halfway in I realized it wasn't and that just makes it sad.

Title: Re: Fuck You, Animal Ghosts
Post by: Patrick on 31 Jan 2009, 04:49
I think what he means is that he doesn't really give two shits about forum drama because, well, he's bright enough not to.

He's right about the whole Gabbletron/Meebo thing being a divisive element. I don't talk much (if at all, in some really sad cases) to most of those people because, well, they're content to talk among themselves elsewhere. Which is good for them, I'm not going to stop them, but it is SHIT for this forum. Wonder why all the interesting shit is gone? It's because it all got sucked into another place. The old regulars who would normally be posting cool shit on the boards have all pretty much left to post their cool shit on Meebo and ignore the boards.

Basically, if you guys are serious about making this place interesting again, kill Meebo and stop being anal about people getting chatty in threads. If people want to talk, let them talk. You don't kill a conversation in real life just because the topic changed, what makes the internet so special that you should do it here? If shit gets out of hand and becomes so exclusive that only two people are talking about it, THEN they take it somewhere more private.
Title: Re: Fuck You, Animal Ghosts
Post by: Jace on 31 Jan 2009, 05:14
How about instead of killing meebo, we just also post here, much like I (and a good few of the other meeblers) do. Its a chat program, but not everyone uses it, so there is still a point to post.
Title: Re: Fuck You, Animal Ghosts
Post by: Sox on 31 Jan 2009, 05:20
I stopped posting much because I got into a funk. It got none all to do with chat clients. Don't help none that I don't know who anybody is no more. I used to get all you guys, but now there's so many new faces I don't get shit at all. I also chose to start omitting so much detail about my personal life that I've had nothing to talk about. Okay, I'll change. After I've taken a shower.

The group consensus in the other thread before was that we just need to stop harshing on new threads. I don't think the problem is people being out of ideas, it's just that fun threads never get off the ground in today's forum climate. All people do is blog and shout down threads that don't immediately seem pertinent. Certainly, when I think of most of my favorite threads from before, I can't imagine they'd get further than two posts before everyone shouted it down for being stupid.

Remember when jeph used to come on here and literally start threads by posting a picture of a moose and some inane caption (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,8038.0.html)? When tania started a thread about how awesome breakfast cereal is (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,8445.0.html)? When people started threads to discuss robot dinosaurs they saw in a commercial (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,8372.0.html)? It's hard to imagine that kind of tomfoolery ever even happened.

Think of it like brainstorming: the only way to get good ideas is to throw out a ton of ideas and see which ones stick.  Sure a lot will suck, but instead of being judgmental just ignore the crap.

OBLIGATORY ADDITION: The cereal thread was actually pretty blah other than duchess. I'm telling you, all of the forum's problems are because she left.

I seem to remember "I shrunk it too much", "I stretched it back out" and "I shrunk it again".

I have no clue. I think she's the one pining for the fjords, anyway.

It is kind of awkwardly shaped right now. I don't know if I will actually wear it.

Also, it is not the fjords I'm pining for.

:-D

... I am wondering here, I know that "fjords" are big freakin' valleys filled with steams, so unless you have a small house squirreled into the cliff face I don't think you can have a Boy in the fjord.

Also I just have this image of a boy made entirely out of a Fjord, its kind of weird.

I have actually sat down and gone through all of her posts more than once, and read tons of old threads just because she posted something brilliant in them. She had mostly gone before I really started posting on these forums, but nonetheless I think she was one of my favourite things here.

Kieffer left me alone in the desert on drugs so he could fuck someone.

True story.
Let's not make him seem tougher than he is, he left you so his girlfriend wouldn't kill him for not picking her up from LAX.

Regardless of how long someone's been here, it's still not right to dedicate a whole thread to shit on someone. 

Isn't that what Kieffer does pretty much every over time he posts?

Which isn't really a big deal. Just saying.

Oh and no one really cares what your personal opinion about Kieffer is, whether it's good or bad. He's a guy who acts like an ass a lot and is also sometimes humorous. Can we not devote every tenth thread to him?
Title: Re: Fuck You, Animal Ghosts
Post by: RedLion on 31 Jan 2009, 11:44
I think what he means is that he doesn't really give two shits about forum drama because, well, he's bright enough not to.

He's right about the whole Gabbletron/Meebo thing being a divisive element. I don't talk much (if at all, in some really sad cases) to most of those people because, well, they're content to talk among themselves elsewhere. Which is good for them, I'm not going to stop them, but it is SHIT for this forum. Wonder why all the interesting shit is gone? It's because it all got sucked into another place. The old regulars who would normally be posting cool shit on the boards have all pretty much left to post their cool shit on Meebo and ignore the boards.

Basically, if you guys are serious about making this place interesting again, kill Meebo and stop being anal about people getting chatty in threads. If people want to talk, let them talk. You don't kill a conversation in real life just because the topic changed, what makes the internet so special that you should do it here? If shit gets out of hand and becomes so exclusive that only two people are talking about it, THEN they take it somewhere more private.

Also, this. Everything Patrick said.

That is honestly a terrible argument.

Like, really bad.

"Stop talking elsewhere so all of your ideas and communication are forced here."

Ending meebo will just further the disconnect between a lot of people and these forums. The bigger issue is that most of the threads here have just been uninteresting. It is hard to put concerted effort into something you feel yourself slowly drifting from. For those that have been around for years, this can be particularly troublesome. Every other thread feels like the third rehash of something that has occurred previously. Everyone is going to approach this in their own way, whether it be further lack of participation, high levels of sarcastic posts, or attempts to heal the disconnect. You cannot expect more or less.

So lets all stop worrying about what others decide to do towards the future of the forums, and approach it in the way we each see fit ourselves.

Problem with that is people obviously have a very pre-determined definition of what these forums should be, and when they don't' fit into that definition, people throw a shit fit (I'm not completely excluded form that, of course. It's applicable pretty much across the board.)

To be fair, ever since I complained that there weren't enough interesting threads and I was only reading the same 3, there have been a ton of new, interesting threads!

Well some of them have been interesting.

That one thread is really boring.
Title: Re: Fuck You, Animal Ghosts

Jens, be realistic here. Facebook isn't separating an entire group of people off from everybody else. The way Facebook's messaging, wall, and chat systems work? One on one communication. It doesn't completely replace the forums like Meebo or Gabbly or other group-oriented shit tends to do.

What Joe was saying about pointless-but-awesome threads is true, and it is also true that their downfall can be DIRECTLY correlated with Gabbly and other such things. If every pointless thread gets instantly shit upon or even nixed just because it's something that could've been posted to the Meebo (and with great results), then people are going to use Meebo as a safeguard against having their threads become unsuccessful. Basically, nobody's going to post new threads because shit is going to get retarded for no good reason.

Sure, for the comparatively-small group of people that use Meebo, it can be a great way of bonding between themselves, and hell, there is the possibility of having awesome discussions. And from what I hear about it, cool shit happens in there. That's great! More power to you. I'm just saying, it is taking over the role of "place to talk about stupid/cool/funny shit" that the forums once embraced as a communal trait, and that if you guys HONESTLY give a shit about the quality of the forums, you'll include everybody in the discussion again, just like back when I first joined.

(Kieffer the only reason that has happened is because a whole fuckload of people complained about how stagnant shit had been)

I disagree about meebo patrick. I see no problem with meebo existing, the only problem is people being overly judgmental here. If we can just get people to stop being so cliquey as paul pointed out, it's all good.

Post by: Patrick on 31 Jan 2009, 16:11
You misunderstand what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that no matter the quality of the content that is missing, there is still shit missing. Everything has potential, but nobody has balls enough to try it, so they hide off in their little corner.

what exactly is the problem with list threads again? depending on the topic they can be really interesting to read and an awesome way to learn about other posters. i like to read about other people's favourite candy or childhood video game or breakfast cereal, it's a nice break from having to think really hard about everything all the time.

I think you two are kind of saying the same thing in different ways, just that sometimes cool shit doesn't always get posted because sometimes some people are like "wah bad thread wah" so it gets discussed in Meebly.. meebo? Whatever the name is. In fact, I'mma start a thread RIGHT NOW that was a Good Thread back in 2006. Since there's so many new people around, I think it's valid again.

my favourite thread ever was just pages and pages of sean connery from zardoz and some captions but i looked very hard for it and could not find it and this has left me feeling very sad and empty. i liked this one (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,10951.0.html) too though.

just cos a thread isn't a discussion doesn't mean it's pointless. i am busy a lot and i come to this forum mainly to relax, maybe this says something about my maturity level but sometimes i can't muster the energy to make a big articulate post and that relaxing entails just laughing at nonsense and pictures with captions. i miss this stuff.

I like meebly a lot because right now, the conversation is about how yelley was in arizona. And how I am in arizona. But that we were not aware that each other existed. Do any of you care about this?

Anyways, I blame more of the people on the forum for not being cool enough to get into meebo. (nah, I'm just pointing fingers)

Man, you'd think Kieffer was dead with the amount of worshipping of him going around here.

Kieffer, how's it feel to know that 90% of this board wants to give you head? Or at least wanks to the idea of you banging them.


Anyway, I've got no problem or feelings on way or another towards him.
