Anybody noticed that things are a little slow on the forums lately?
Do you miss any of the famous trolls who used to frequent this site?
At least it wasn't boring.
:cool:

I take a read, if i cannot post anything worthwhile in the thread then i read the next new one.
Certainly do miss those spontanious visit's of mayhem that Spec used to suprise us with. :eek:
i'm still here ... just got out of the rehab
rehab is for quitters.
I can get the forums rolling again if you wish. Hell some people here probably still think I was whiny and defensive and serious about it. It was to stir the pot, and it worked every time hook line sinker and shaft ;)
just activate my other 60 accounts again and ill post some **** haha =)

My band :)
Meh...
I can troll if you'd like.
I can probably bring Spec back too.
We don't need trolls, just action ;)
By the way, the myspace link, that really is my band, which currently consists of:
Me
My Laptop running Linux
Lame, to encode them into MP3 after I finish making it.
I seriously would like feed back :)
Maybe we should ask Nihil.
There have been times when a thread gets interesting as could be surmised from the number of responses posted but eventually, Nihil sniffs them out and the trolls get blown and banned.
One possible reason why the trolls don't come around that often is that the antipoints don't matter much anymore which means the more sane and informative topics get posted even though some of these wallow to oblivion--so to speak--when the responses become too sparse.
It isn't me. I would say that 99% of what I have banned this year has been spamming or scamming; mostly by "bot" accounts. You know the stuff........... online gaming, pr0n, v*i*a*g*r*a and the like.Quote:

I think that the lack of trolls is just part of the evolution of the net, as it seems to have declined on other sites as well. It is almost as if the "novelty" has worn off and they are up to other things?
I will comment that I do not normally ban Trolls............. I leave that to the membership, unless it is something totally out of order likre racism, CP or whatever. I must admit that, like rcgreen, I find them mildly amusing :D
I think that our new site software and antispamming measures might have some effect as well. New members posts are automatically moderated, so it is no longer easy for a Troll to just join and post their nonsense without hinderance.
:)
If it gets too dull I can start letting the spammers through again. ;)
JPnyc it seems that we are victims of our own success?
:D
Maybe we need an "authorised Trolls" forum? .................... I wonder who should moderate it?
:halo:

I'm working on 2 things for the forums; 1 will boost performance, the other, traffic. Just taking a bit of time, is all.
You're going to upload porn and some more RAM?
You misspelled "Pharmacy", Gore. :p
Chit, doesn't anyone play real music anymore? You know, music made with guitars and drums and a bass? Guess I'm an old-timer, but I don't think I'll ever get used to this electronic stuff. Back in the day, we had bands like Joy Division and Kraftwerk doing their thing, but it was too artsy for me. Hard to beat the hard-core punk stuff back then. The Ramones, Dead Boys, Butthole Surfers, Johnny Thunders...they rocked. Best show I ever saw was the Clash, February 13th, 1979, at the Cleveland Agora. He-heh, they opened with "I'm So Bored With The USA". Hard to believe that was almost 30 years ago.
crow:
I make that too:
I have an Ibanez Bass and amp for doing bass lines, I use a REAL guitar whenever I record anything like that which is why none of that has any, as I don't want to use a machine for something like that, but for drums, I have no shame in that, drums are expensive, loud, and hard to do at 3 AM when you finally have a chance to record as the people around the area would call the cops on you, and at the end of a recording you can actually hear me say "**** the cops!" because we were only using a computer to record.
I covered We are 138 by The Misfits by myself and same for Blitzkrieg Bop, as I can play both on just about any instrument.
Back when I was also just using a crappy pc mic to record, didn't have any software for it other than Orio Pro the demo version, so I used the mic to record that too.
But not I record and export to wav then encode as an MP3.
Believe me, techno and punk share something. For example, Rammstein are HUGE punk fans, and a lot of members were in a band called Feeling B, and that is one good band.
Lords of Acid from Belgium, used to play Punk too.
So techno and Industrial, well, it's the new punk. Sort of. Of course we still have punk bands, but not as many. Leftover Crack, INDK, and so on, but if you ask techno and Industrial bands what they listen to it's always The Misfits of The Ramones.
There is a DVD called Rammstein - LichtSpielHaus, in that hidden on the DVD is Rammstein covering Pet Cemetery as a tribute to Joey Ramone, Till of Rammstein did backing vocals with Jerry Only of The Misfits. Dee Dee Ramone was on drums, and Flake, the keyboard player for Rammstein was on vocals.
It was amazing to see my fav bands on stage at once....Imagine that for me, seeing Rammstein and The Misfits and The Ramones on stage all at once..... Man what I'd do to see that show.
Not to mention Robo from Black Flag was doing drums for The Misfits and was doing them when I went to see them a few years ago :)
The only reason the stuff I'm making right now is mostly tech, is because I don't have a guitar or bass, so I use my laptop to make everything.
Dolphin Code: 136 :booty:
That's actually intentional :) Gives it that "funny farm" vibe and stuff. Or I can use it as an excuse to act like an animal lol.Quote:

Moderately old thread?
Hmm, dunno, it allowed people to talk about multiple things and voice some concerns so it does have a use. I tried to throw a joke in but I get the joke was to slick, like ice ;)
*giggle*
I don't have much trolling experience. I have baited one a few times. But here goes.
u guyz r all lusers... thar is only 1 leet haxor and that is me....
Hmmmmmm,
Hey, gore, you aren't starting to hear voices now are you? :DQuote:

isildur................. yo are a faker, everywun noze yo spel "leet" 1337
:lildevil:
dang it... i used to have an app that would convert to leet speek... wonder if that is still around to use for all my posts....
Hey, isildur,
What operating system do we have here?
:)
I have been using Slackware since about 99, but just recently bought a new iMac so I am learning my way again. I used to have Macs back in the day, although even then I was messing around with LinuxPPC. I still have Slack on this using Parallels :-)
If you meant the leetspeak app, it was likely an old mac app...
Nope, I actually remember a Windows version around about Win 98 (Gold) days.
I shall try to find it and post it in tech humour :)

Years back I had the idea of stripping the H-word off the forums. And put up a script to allow members to replace it with different phrases. Imagine what fun people would have had with that instead of antipoints...
Alec,
How about one of those random phrase generators?
:)
I can write one of those.
Hey there Alec,
All we have to do is write the Spec?
Then JPNyc will do the rest?
:halo:
Is It..... Could It Be.......... :hello:Quote:

Write it Assembler, in Vi, on a Sparc, THEN the Bastard will say "neat". Or Perl.
