You know that date under your name?

[Dirk_Temporo]

Isn't it funny how the little group of numbers and letters under your name and just to the left of your post matters so much. What I'm talking about is the fact that I made a post in one of the other forums and got chewed the f*ck out. Now, if I had made that same post, yet that little date was a year older, I can almost gaurantee that I wouldn't have been. Everyone seems to base people's social skills and/or experience online purely on that stupid little date. If you say something even mildly unintelligent or make a mistake, everyone flames you and calls you a n00b. Now as someone who has been around the block more than once in online forums, I am officially no n00b to the conduct expected. But everyone ignores this and calls me a n00b anyway. I can only imagine how much worse it would be if they had post counts on this forum... *shudders*

Ohhh but we do have post counts.

Where was the flame?

Music forum. The seven page long one. I made a post in reference to the first page. And the fact is, we all make mistakes. It's just that the date under your name controls people's reactions to your mistakes.

1.) That was Jace replying to you, so you should expect that. He's not being boisterous because you're a n00b to this forum, he's being like that because that is how he always is

2.)

Well, we're not acting immature, now, are we?

BTW, in a thread as long as this one is, I consider it common practice, as well as common courtesy, to read the entire thread. You don't know if someone has already made the point that you were trying to make, or if the topic had developed into something different than the title of the thread states. All in all, it's common sense.

See, people don't measure penis sizes here with the join date, they do so with the post count.

So now I'm one up on Mr. Pilkington, measuring 991 posts.

And Fyrtenheimer has the second lagest penis in the Org.

Yes, I'm always like that, Phade could have pissed me off.

However, it's the fact that we told you what you did wrong and you complained again that really pissed me off.

Is it so hard to accept "You should have read the whole thread before posting" on a 7 page thread?

That's what really got me mad, when you complained after we told you what you did wrong.

Anyway, I'm a really hard guy to keep mad, simply because I don't care enough.

So no hard feelings, just read long threads before posting next time.


and on the join date, it's post count that really matters, how much experience you have on THIS forum. I chew out people that joined in 2001 when they post stupid stuff, if their post count shows they're not regular posters.

Mark stuck a hanger in his penis to get it to stay up. I saw it.

OMFG WHAT HAS HE DONE

On a similar note, I did find a kitten in my car engine once, but that was before I drove off. Lucky little bastard.
