4000 posts & 5 years and what have I learned from boards?

• Never argue with the mods
• Read the goddamn charter
• Boards beers are always a good way of finding out whether that person you just had a flame war with really wants to fight you.
• Private forums never last
• I really need to get out more
• The only funny thing about lolcat pics is the fact that they should be attempted in real life. Cats, captions and prittstick. Great night in!

Hail 2 Da Chimp

- Lolcat pictures never go out of style!

Never argue with the mods - yup, found out the hard way.

Read the goddamn charter - meh, effort.

Boards beers are always a good way of finding out whether that person you just had a flame war with really wants to fight you. - on the to-do list - getting to a boards beers that is.

Private forums never last - the pedantic forum's still going, no? (forget the name)

I really need to get out more - Yes, yes you do.

Choose your words and your arguements wisely and you can win in an arguement against the mods.

Read the goddamn charter

Indeed.

Boards beers are always a good way of finding out whether that person you just had a flame war with really wants to fight you.

I've only been to one, but I've never had anyone pick a fight with me, (In the "I'm going to fúcking kick your ass, bitch" sense) so I don't know if anyone actually does.

Private forums never last

Internet cliques rarely ever work out.

I really need to get out more

Me too.

The only funny thing about lolcat pics is the fact that they should be attempted in real life. Cats, captions and prittstick. Great night in!

Fair enough.

The thing is, if you don't point out the discrepancies then they won't be fixed.

Isn't it against the charter to post about your postcount?

Anti

5,741(2) Posts, and 3.5 years. And what have I learnt.

People hide behind their internet connection, and when confronted face to face they turn into whimpering little girls ( c u @ lan etc etc )
90% of people on forums like this are complete and utter wasters.
5% of people on forums like this are bareable ( just )
3% Are sound as fcuk.
2% i have the utmost respect for.

Most of the time your post count and join date do count for something.

Being a Mod dosent give you diplomatic immunity ( it fecking should thogh )

Kitteh's are the funniest thing the internet has come up with as of yet ( lolpresidents came close )

You can find love in the wierdest of places, even on boards.ie

Argueing with a mod never works, even when you are in the right.

nesf

6.5 years and 10K posts and I'm still surprised by the idiocy people are capable of online. People take things and themselves far too seriously online. Just look at posts 21 and 22 for instance.

tman

10,000+ posts in 5 years and all that I've learnt is that my epenis is HUGE compared to any of you pussies!

Jazzy

I learned you can get away with it if your decent at games

ejmaztec

450 + posts in 6 years - I must have a life:rolleyes:

Agamemnon

#22 originally read something along the lines of 'only if you do it first'.

Something along those lines but I realised the error of my ways. Some people just can't get over themselves.

1.5 years... I've learnt..... I've learnt....

ummm...

oooh, i now know that daft is an insult... never knew that before...

Slutmonkey57b

I've learned that mine is like sticking a banana between two oranges.

Tar.Aldarion

An amount of posts with several numbers in it, over 3 years.
I have learned something, I'm sure I have, well, to waste time well anyway.

Oh god, I hope he does

What have I learned.. Well since my main interest here is Martial Arts I've learned a lot about the styles I'd previously ignored.

Thats about it I'm afraid.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

I've seen pictures of you, I'm quite comfortable keeping this animosity between keyboards.

Senna

In my short time on Boards, i've realized;
- 99% of AH poster are just looking for something to argue about.
- Spelling mistakes are punishable by death (thats why it takes me so long to reply to anything:D )
- Any post mentioning breaking the law, will have the OP flamed even though it might have nothing to do with them.
- Some mods (very few) really are in danger of disappearing up their own ass.
and finally
- Hagar is probably the funniest man in Ireland.
