I want an encampment. where can I get an encampment? Why do other people have them? and why haven't I got one?

I want one!

ally, with you it's not a matter of people drooling over your latest pics in the photo thread, but more of a matter of them professing their undying internet love for you pretty much everywhere else. although admittedly i haven't even seen much of that lately, so maybe this isn't even a thing we need to worry about when it comes to improving our internetting.

okay let's focus on more important things ie, not using dumb imaginary words such as "internetting"

Hairy Joe Bob · « **Reply #52 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 14:54 »

and where we can get encampments.

I'm also debating whether or not the phrase 'interbutts' should be retired.

What's everyone's opinion?

Patrick · « **Reply #53 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 15:06 »

I will use my dumb imaginary words as much as I like. "Ginormerous" is perfectly legit.

I don't see the problem with it. It's a perfectly good example of word derivation, and any alternative verb forms of 'internet' would probably be a lot worse.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #56 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 15:55 »

I kind of feel like this whole internet idea is a little played out.

Patrick · « **Reply #57 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 16:01 »

I feel like things playing themselves out is played out, but that has already played itself out so now I don't know what the fuck to do and it is really bothering me.

I cant even masturbate anymore just because people do it all the time and so it just makes it all the more unappealing.

And don't even get me started about that 'pulse' shit.

(basically, jokes about shit being played out are, well, played out)

(also patrick, you are sweet but i really wasn't trying to fish for compliments and now i am not sure whether you were doing the name thing was out of pity or that you genuinely have creepy comments/feelings directed towards me that i did not know about. okay.)

(actually it was totally just because Kieffer said not to like 3 posts before)

(also I wanted to jokingly insult Alex 'cause there is not enough room in the insult thread to do so)

Subverting a thread, leading on a young lady AND making light of my pain.

tania · « **Reply #66 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 22:32 »

my main problem with name, and the constant "i want to make out with/sex up/etc" thing is that it seems like most of the regulars just sort of do it to all of the other regulars by default, and there isn't really any attempt to be creative or selective about it anymore, and it's become kind of predictable and redundant? under regular circumstances i probably wouldn't care enough to complain about how this annoys me but since we now have a thread for it, there's my input.

Well, that and all the other shit in the thread.

Maybe the forum's immune system has kicked in and it's started locking threads on it's own.

jodizzle · « **Reply #71 on:** 31 Jan 2009, 05:45 »

Woah, it is weird to come into a thread and see my name mentioned a whole bunch of times. I didn't realise everyone was talking about me.

Hi guys!

what about "thanks for playing!"?

tania · « **Reply #77 on:** 31 Jan 2009, 13:35 »

i don't mind "thanks for posting". it's a way of letting someone know their post was sort of stupid and pointless that's more polite than saying "your post was stupid and pointless."

most of the little things i get irritated by regarding posting mainly go around that unwritten rule of how you should put a little bit of thought into what you are posting and consider whether or not people will actually care about it (which is, again, why i get annoyed when the same people constantly hit on the same other people every time they post a picture regardless of how repetitive or unnecessary it's become), so lightly reminding people to think a bit more carefully before they post if skipping that step becomes a habit for them doesn't really seem like a bad thing to me. just my personal preference though.

jhocking · « **Reply #78 on:** 31 Jan 2009, 13:54 »

The only times I find "Thanks for posting!" amusing are when tommy does it as a dig at me. Sort of like how annoying internet sayings are amusing when done once in a long while as a joke. Otherwise, yeah I find it pretty annoying.

Liz · « **Reply #79 on:** 31 Jan 2009, 14:03 »

I have a problem with it because generally it is posted by itself. What is the point of making a post that just says "thanks for posting!"? You're telling someone to not make dumb, pointless posts by making a dumb, pointless post. It's hypocritical and stupid.

Patrick · « **Reply #80 on:** 31 Jan 2009, 15:36 »

I have no argument there. If you're going to be snarky and rude, explain yourself at very least. Maybe somebody doesn't know in what way they are being stupid.

Tom · « **Reply #81 on:** 31 Jan 2009, 15:41 »

Or just don't bother replying to it, send a PM if it really got to you.

tania · « **Reply #82 on:** 31 Jan 2009, 15:52 »

it also goes back, however, to the thing discussed in another thread of how if you do it in a public space (and it is a public forum), other people can also see and learn from the situation and make a note of it for future reference, so you don't end up having to individually pm everybody. pros and cons from both sides. i don't think it's all that mean but that's me. overdoing it gets redundant just like anything overdone gets redundant though.

Except not because I quite enjoy professing my e-love for him

Also ITT: Emaline falls in love with Dovey again.

Honestly, I don't think you should publicly chastise someone without accepting the fact that there'll probably be people who will think you're being a bit of an ass first. Using euphemistic language like "Thanks for posting!" doesn't really help at all, honestly, since it comes across as incredibly dismissive. You simply shouldn't do it unless you're ready to sack up and live with the fallout. That's why I try to post at length when I'm being genuinely critical and mean it constructively; if you ever see me make a "thanks for posting!" comment, it'll be because I'm ribbing a fellow regular or because I intend to be a dick, no exceptions.
