Atari Jaguar - why?

DylanII

Why is it that every time there is a poll on boards they put atari jaguar in as an option? It just completely messes up the results and has absolutely no purpose.

Hande hoche!

Because you touch yourself at night.

It's not done because it's funny. It's done because it's the law.

Strange that it's allowed but using a high pressure of a certain bodily fluid is frowned upon.

Introspection on what you're doing with your life.

Really? Boards sent me some strippers and vodka. A fun night was had by all. Admittedly that was before the recession, things might be different now.

Yep in the good old days it was coke and hookers at 3000. Now I fear it's a savage beating and a "voluntary" platelet donation.

The Atari Jaguar, and coke and hookers memes are just tired and tedious at this stage. Rather cringe-inducing to be honest.

So is waxing lyrical about Facekicker and the 3am backup.

Can we at least talk about the Boards the Gathering cards? Does anyone even remember them?

anncoates

I'm somewhat late to the thread.

Have all the cringe reverences to join dates, quake, Amp, and gathering cards been deployed already?

I believe this type of thing creates a sense of solidarity amongst the denizens of the internet who may not have many other social outlets. It's like going around wearing a boards.ie hoodie or such like. Keeps the hits up for the site i suppose.

It started out as a joke amongst dweebs but is still being perpetuated to facilitate a sense of community in what has become a largely commercial enterprise.

Bubbles. lol

How does it mess up the results?

It gives people who are either on the fence or don't care enough to think about it an option to select meaning they are less likely to just pick one of the other options for the sake of it, or to see the results because they are too thick/lazy to select the view results button.

No idea where the Atari Jaguar bit came from but I don't think it's bad practice to include a meh/don't care/undecided option in a poll. That number on it's own can sometimes be useful information.

What I find hilarious are the accusations of 'dweebie-ness' and 'nerdiness' coming from people with several thousand posts on an internet forum.

We'll tell you the full story behind Atari Jaguar.

Plazaman

It is akin to a third or neutral poll option aka "None of the above".

Plus if you click the Atari Jaguar button but keep the left mouse button held down, you will see a link to a most magnificent porn site by legendary star herself Jatari Aguelar.

There's no irony in it as such. You can have tens of thousands of posts on an internet forum and not be a 'dweeb' or 'nerd,' like yourself I'm sure.

It is interesting how people seem to have a vested interest in developing an identity that revolves around amp tests, atari jaguar and trading cards. These are all things from the misty eyed times of yore on boards when it was a much smaller site with far less traffic.

I suppose keeping this going suits boards.ie whilst expanding it's business.
