    When people put some variation of 'I'm really good at being myself' on their profile, wtf does that even mean? It should probably read 'I was bullied at school and became a social outcast and now I'm just boring'.

    Getting into arguments that actually make me angry. it's the internet ffs!!!! Sometimes i take it way too seriously.

    I'm like that guy who said "I'll be up to bed in a minute honey - someone's wrong on the internet again!"

    It's full of porn. And there's not enough porn.
    Comments on youtube. You'll never see such ugliness pour out of a person anywhere else.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,332 ✭✭✭HouseHippo


    This Oh I wish i was dead , I have no friends crap people put on their bebo pages.

    If you have no friends why join A SOCIAL networking site. i can se clearly that you do have friends I can see the exact number of friends you have, which ones you like better etc.....

    I hate the way the internet has become "mainstream" and is used for "the common good". Ugh!!

    Bring back the days when nerds ruled the web and used it to discuss Star Trek episodes.

    4chan can die in a fiery pit of fire.

    Likewise 14 year old emo kids on Bebo, Facebook, Livejournal etc.

    Agreed, particularly all the 4chanisms.

    Actually half of those are originally from Something Awful, but internet memes are pretty pathetic since when ever they're used they're used entirely out of context and about a year after they could have been considered even remotely funny or witty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 446 ✭✭phenomenon


    Don't forget lolcats, possibly the worst fad to come from 4chan....ugh

    I completely agree with the above posts, all those anachronisms really wreck my head.

    I've actually heard people I know saying some out loud in conversation, LOL, why don't you say that's funny or maybe actually laugh you twat. Another one is people saying OMG.

    Worst of all of them though is ftw. I'm waiting for the day that someone says that in my company, if i'm drunk at the time i swear to god i'll bottle the ****er. (or at least imagine it in my mind with wry smile on my face)

    4 Chan, while not exactly dinner table material, is an interesting site. I'v never actually been to it but it has created a huge amount of fads etc.

    It's the biggest soapbox in history, carrying the crazy rantings of the world's biggest mental cases farther than ever before. The mentally deviant can now find each other across vast distances and form communities of freakish natures and proportions. Image boards.

    Signatures - Most of them are irritating and completely unnecessary

    Kids - I'm an avid online gamer and nothing breaks my heart more than when I hear a 13 year old squeaky voice on vent.

    Ad's - I understand a site needing to advertise to pay for hosting, but there are so many sites that go overkill on them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    All them mssgs that keep coming up in bebo

    "Hi I'm a hot single girl who is interested in you, just click this link and enter credit card details" :rolleyes:

    Ha, just remembered a *funny* story about my friend's little brother, he was 13 at the time. Just some background: a shy, very quiet geeky teenager he was....
    Basically,we decided to investigate why he didn't want us to see his Bebo page, and so found him through his classmates(which took A LOT of effort, since his nickname was smth like p*ssy lover). The whole page was just made up of silly show-off lies, but the most embarracing thing was: for his favourite sport he had "SEX" written down...

    Too true. The amount of ignorant, rude imbeciles leaving comments there is unbelievable. And that's not including the racists, homophobes, etc. Or the woeful spelling. On the music videos it's the worst- everything is either 'awesome!11!!!' or 'gay'. The only insults anybody can appear to use are 'yo moma' lines, that are at best, slightly amusing, and at worst, make me weep for the fate of humanity. :mad: And if I see one more 'debate' about whether a band is emo or not I'm going to throw my computer out the window.

    So I just don't like how people are way more nasty over the internet than they ever are in person, how they feel big hiding behind a screen but are really cowards. Especially trolls and cyber-bullies/ stalkers.

    Its worse on sites like Cnet and MSN, sites owned by already rich companies, who clearly don't need the income from advertising.

    Social Networking sites like bebo & myspace, can all burn in hell.
    Websites that restrict access by country.
    Something Awful... its a close second to YouTube comments.
