    Brilliantly done. I remember thinking "What the heck is this Trent circle-jerk?" and then finding out about the thread so having a read. Totally rolling my eyes initially (which was the exact aim :D) and buckled after a few posts. Also reading other people reacting with "wtf" and slating how badly written it was... and then the realisation dawning on them too. :)

    Yeah, it's a great moment when people get it. And what makes it funnier is that he just keeps posting away in faux innocence, not altering anything. There's one joke involving the incorrect placement of quotation marks in a story of his that made me really admire the lad's style. Good luck to him, I hope he's still around here somewhere.

    Did we not establish pretty much at the start of this thread that looooads of people are re-regs and for good reasons in many cases???

    The comment was ironic ;). But no worries...

    There was a trans lady as well who was so angry with the world. God. Every response was both attacking and defensive.

    oh, who was that? I'm pretty sure I was on the receiving end of one of those rants for something fairly innocuous I said.

    You'd defintitely miss Padriaag and the adventures of Trent. Just the way that thread goes is beautiful. It was in the Creative Writing forum and after his first few installments the regular posters there were resisting the urge to call him an outright troll. Then the next few instalments of Trents adventures came along and it turned into an absolute barrel of laughs, even when I read it now Im still splitting myself laughing. Plus he gave us the word SKRKK

    He posted readings on YouTube at one stage

    She had four accounts going at the same time. So bizarre. Like a full time troll.

    How would you know? You are a new poster no?

    Already been a mod warning about the question your asking.

    Very kind of you. :)

    There's no point getting mad at people who can't think past the end of their nose. Spelling and punctuation is an on going mission for me to improve upon.

    There's a few old school fellas and ladies I'd like to see back for a bit of banter.

    Starbelgade, had me bent in two laughing at times.

    Mikom, never a poster since has compared to his lighting fast dry wit comeback and one liner retorts, - golden poster.

    I never cared for Mikom. He always came across as a massive stoner with questionable politics. Met him at a BEERS once and he was quite aggressive and, well, his personal hygiene left a lot to be desired.

    I heard rumours that the guy behind Padraiggg went on Countdown and did fairly well.

    Was funny but, like so many on the internet, became obsessed with hating politicians

    No it started before then definitely. That's another one of the accounts though - she would post about it from a few accounts at the same time, and have unreg accounts too. You can see actually four of the names of the sisters viewing that profile. :)

    Wow, it's been going on that long :eek:

    You can get it from the start.

    Leave us alone Trent!” The women said. Perhaps it was because the were angry at him for something he had done in the past, a long, long time ago. Or perhaps it was because he was holding a gun at them!

    Ahhaa ha ha.

    Possibly my favourite line from the whole story.

    The guy did start a twitter and I think was trying to compile the whole thing into something publishable but it's one of those things that really suits the strewn, episodic format of online forums.

    People are often wanting for padraiggg to return but if it's run its course, it's run its course.

    Where are all the stoners gone? Was it a recession thing - getting high and spending your days on the internet moaning about water charges?

    I haven’t been here before, so don’t have any nostalgic memories of a username. Pintman is still around, and is a fella I find myself agreeing with most of the time.

    There was a few fans of Mong the Merciless too. They used to get really upset when their golden boy caught a bit of flak.

    Very thin skinned. :confused:

    I've opened that here in work and they are wondering why I just burst out laughing.

    I love those type of threads.

    Does anyone remember one about a bloke who got ran out of the butchers or the butcher turned on him, I think he was giving out about sausages or something?

    I remember something along the lines of a guy being in a state about being overcharged and about the way the butcher looked at him or something. :D
