Daxlo's declassified forum survival guide.

[DAXLO]

In this weeks episode, i will teach you the different types of forum users.

1. Acne

constantly whines about how, like... his life and everything really sucks and stuff. Usually a middle class teenager with an allowance, unlimited access to a computer and WAY too much time on his hands. Acne has arguments about the meaning of life and has 20 gigs of pirated music on his harddrive.


2. ALLCAPS

ALLCAPS attempts to compensate for his limited wit through the use of capitalized words.


3.Admin

Admin is the janitor, the cop, the mayor, the judge and sometimes even the forum doctor. Sometimes his efforts are appreciated, but like any authority figure he is also resented.

4. Big cat

Big Cat would rather not fight...he enjoys peacefully wathcing forum conversations and participates when the moods strikes

5. Yuk Yuk

Apparently there is no joke too lame, too lurid (just found out that word today) or too inappropriate for Yuk Yuk

6. Goody 2 shoes.

Goody 2 shoes is a positive, constructive forumer who strive to submit original articles which contain useful content and relevant information. He is a force to be reckoned with.

7.Compost.


A weak forumer with few weapons at his disposal. Compost flings profanities to keep his opponent at bay

8. Nanny.

Nanny tirelessly monitors forum discussions to make sure that everyone behaves.

9. Evil Clown. (Daxlo)

He has little patience for in-depth discussions and will often disrupt exchanges between serious forumers by introducing irrelevant topics, fatuous quips, and offhand comments.

10. Target.

Target is the guy everyone in a forum loves to hate. He brings this upon himself; he may be a known cheater in a game forum, a Windows guy among Mac enthusiasts, or even a straight man in a gay forum.

11. Newbie.

Unsteady in his knowledge of computers and cyber-culture Newbie walks the Internet, stumbling his way into discussion forums. A few, such as Jerk and Evil Clown, take special pleasure in torturing him

12. Jerk

Jerk is sarcastic, mean, unforgiving and never misses an opportunity to make a witty remark.

That's your education for the week kids.

[Larah]

Haha, very clever!

[Wild Cat]

So Daxy, where did you copy it from?

Cause I don't believe that you came up with all this by yourself

[no2pencil]

I'm an even combination of Jerk & Yuk Yuk

I <3 teh Inter-tubes.

This list is really funny

[Larah]

I'm not sure which one(s) I am...

[Wild Cat]

lol........ I'd say that I was a combination of a Nanny and a Big Cat

[no2pencil]

That's why we call you Big Nanny Cat.

[Wild Cat]

who calls me that?


lol

8. Nanny.

Nanny tirelessly monitors forum discussions to make sure that everyone behaves.

the description of the cross:

tirelessly monitors forum discussions to make sure that everyone behaves.......he/she enjoys peacefully watching forum conversations and participates when the moods strikes....would rather not fight but will pounce on you if you misbehave or provoke... ...

[no2pencil]

heh, you like to watch.

[Wild Cat]

Who doesn't?

[DAXLO]

That's your new nickname. Big wild nanny cat.

Tune in for a new episode next week. I'll be teaching you how to create "grenade" topics.

@WC That offends me deeply. Thinking I copied it..........

[DAXLO]

New Aditions.

11. The white witch.

The white witch has a supernatural ability to bring long-dead forum discussion threads back to life.

12. Nazi.

Nazi is in control and does not tolerate back talk, especially from a sniveling worm like you.

13. Grunter.

Grunter always reponds to discussion forum messages with a single word or a short phrase, and he NEVER edits quoted material.

14. Major payne

Major payne tries to gain tactical advantage in forums by saying that he is, or was at one time, in the military.

15. Issue.

Issues has an issue and she won't rest until it becomes your issue, too. Even when she's not talking about her issue it's clear she would rather be talking about her issue.

16. Lamer

Mediocrity is Lamer's only characteristic, yet the word "mediocre" is an understatement to how painstakingly boring lamers personality is.

Lamer has no insight on any topic, no glimmer of wit or humor that could brighten the coversation.

17. Perv.


Wily and very secretive, Perv isn't actually a genuine forumer in sense; he isn't interested in forum psychology, Thread tactics or even winning arguments, and he couldn't care less about the subject under discussion - all he REALLY wants to know is what you are wearing.

18. Fanboy.

Though annoying and often disruptive, Fanboy is a harmless forumer because his interests and knowledge are limited a single obsession.

19. Gangster.

The internet is a dangerous place. Gangsters are running around everywhere. Hailing from the mean streets of Ghetto.com, this breed of forumer cruises around the forum in groups of 3 or more, looking for trouble. They usually have some sort of identification, such as a distinct custom title, signature, avatar, or special characters in their username.

20. Sock puppeteer.

The notorious and noxious Sock Puppeteer, a many-headed Hydra-like gang of bullies all in one, using false identities even on the same forum to mock other users without fear of retaliation.

21. Garble

Garble is a mystery: Is he a foreigner with a loose grasp of English? Is he on drugs? Did his mother do acid when she was pregnant? Is he typing wearing boxing gloves? Garble can't seem to do anything write. Grammarians have a field day when he shows up on forums.

Example of Garbles messages: oPS i HITTED THE CAPDLOCK
