Rants 242

I've stopped posting, because I was getting negative antipoints for incessant babble, and I have better things to do. However, everytime I check back here, it seems like incessant babble written by others. Are there no good topics here? Bullshit hackers telling people that they hack.. Ha! A hacker would never tell someone that they hack... especially in a security forum. It's like going into a Police convention and announcing.. "I'm not a cop, I just vandalize vehicles." The posts have really gotten pretty bad. I used to post years ago, before AO reformatted their whole system, my account "Asphixia" was erased along with many other inactive accounts, why inactive? Well, the posts are repetetive and childish. Second, no one has a sense of humor. When people sent me "Lamer" negative antipoints for that Geek Test link, which I thought people enjoyed considering there were at least 40 responses, it makes me wonder why I even bother. I go to school full time, I go to work full time, why waste time posting comedy in a humorless society? I could be sleeping. Then we have posters that respond to their own posts 30 times, why? To waste precious memory, and to boost their own number of posts. Get a life. It's one thing to post something informative, sincere, or humorous, but posts which just confirm themselves for the 20th time are a pure waste. I'm done ranting for this post.

TeKRoMaNCeR,

You might want to check out the Tutorials section. In addition, I'd humbly suggest that what you put in is what you get out. If you want better posts, post better (as it were). I've found to be far more selective in my responses and to what I'm responding to.

In addition, I've been trying to create more tutorials as I find they add to the community as a whole and create new portals for discussion. =)

I try my best to be as informative and witty as I can be, but I'll agree with you most people here are wannabe hackers (hax0rz as they seem to be called). I come here to help with real issues, and if, so happen a "hax0r fux0r's" needs help with somthing legitmate, ill be glad to lend my expertise. I just get driven insane by some that constantly ask "hack this email for me" and so on and so forth. Mittens however is right as well. What you put in, is what you seem to get here.

Romancer as far as humour is concerned...i have posted two post ..they are some humourous lines...just check it out..if u want to.....

intruder... :borg:

This post is particularly to Intruder and Pooja, I enjoyed your humor posts, and in the first one I read I witnessed the same response I was refering to. "What does this have to do with computers?" Ha! General discussion involves nothing with computers, it is just that, GENERAL. Computers get boring. You work with them, you play with them, you fall asleep on them and you eat on them (often getting crumbs into the crevices of the keyboard). Well, once again, I did enjoy your posts. And it is nice to see more open-minded people in the forums...

Man, dont stop posting, youre a funny guy!
Im not sure what your opinion is of me but I always enjoyed your reckless humour. You will be sadly missed if you leave.

Yeah, I've liked your posts and those of all the other funny posters. I doubt anybody will come out and admit that they dislike you but you'll probably get some negative antipoints.

Don't go man! Fight the serious people with no respect for humor!

You shouldn't worry about getting negative Antipoints. If your posts have valid points people will listen. Eventually everything will work itself out. Do you think JP would continue this system if it wasn't fair and people were abusing it?

I think I'm gonna cry..... Damn heating ducts, blasting right in my eyes.. Thanks for the support, It is nice to see that there are more open-minded individuals in the forums then I thought..
I do enjoy most of your posts.. And replying to them, and receiving replies from the members I value. Mainly the ones who have matured but not withered.. Thanks again... Look forward to new posts.. =]:

Don't go.:( Your post are fun to read. There needs to be some fun some people are too serious. Like you said before it is just GENERAL, which means anything that you want to say. If there was no people like you and intruder, and all the others that decide to not talk about computers every second of every day, then this place would get very boring. I'm not saying that I would rather not talk about computers because I love computers its just that I need to talk about other things and get my mind off of computers sometimes.

Keep it up.

You're not the only one that gets stupid AntiPoints. I get them too. In fact, I've been on the butt end of the system since day 1. I'm sure that most of the members get them. It's really not worth leaving over. I know what you mean with the lack of a sense of humor. I have seen that too, and it's unfair that a few excessively sensitive people should ruin these forums for the rest of us. If you don't like the joke, tough. That's not what AntiPoints are for. Learn to deal with it like a real person instead of trying to get everybody else to cater to you. That's a very selfish thing to do.

You will never please everyone with your posts. Believe me, I have tried before. You can be good and be nothing less than helpful, but it seems a lot of the people here expect you to jump through hoops for them. It's not worth it. You will always get negative points from somebody for lame reasons, or no reason at all. Some people have extremely thin skin, and feel that they need to flame and give negative AntiPoints to everybody they disagree with. Others think it's funny to just go around giving them out at random. It's a fact that we're all going to have to live with. So just let the jackass users give out their BS AntiPoints, and let everyone else judge you by who you really are, not how much the abusive users target you. It's not a battle worth fighting. I have almost completely quit giving out AntiPoints altogether because of the futility of it all. I don't judge people by their AntiPoint status, and I don't think many people do anymore. If you don't like that idea, you can always ask Terr to spread the wealth. ;)


As for the people who post stupid things, just think of them as the jesters of the site. They're there for everyone's entertainment, and that's all (Yes, I'm joking). Seriously though, you should just correct them, and leave it at that. It's not worth letting it get under your skin. Most of them will eventually get bored of it, get flamed out of the forums, or have their accounts deleted. Just let their membership run its [short] course, and don't let it bother you.

IMO, Antipoints are just ways for lazy people to judge character. Who cares if the lazy people don't like you, if you have negative APs?

Then again, I'm lazy, but not in the bad sense. (Of course! :D)

Well said man... Well said...

I like ranting, do it all the time. only been here for 2 days but my impression is i like this place. you seem like a person with a head on your shoulders and not afraid to speak whats on your mind. thats what i find this place to be made of. i'd hate to see you go before i get to know you.

:D For what its worth, I enjoyed the Geek Test! We need humor in our lives to help us keep things in perspective! As a 'learning newbie' I can say hell yeah! to all the humorists in cyberland.

Yeah, dot't worry about antipoints tekro...
It's good to talk about other things besides computers.
That's why I post about music and other stuff.
And that's what the general forum is for right?
keep posting man, your a funny guy!

1. What is a sane man in a crazy world?

2. Never underestimate the power of human stupidy.

- Peace -

just leave
