Suck it up and quit being such a cry-baby.

Also, the jokes I do are of the most derivative, ironic fashion I can possibly imagine. So I have no problem with you pitting them for being lame.

And yes, ScarletNumber is Even Seven, who is a new poster not an old one.

ETA: I got my cat declawed when she was a kitten, and has never had a normal cat life because of that. There, now you have something decent to pit me over!

I agree that this was a pretty weak pitting about a pretty inoffensive zombie joke, but why the "newbie" shit? It's a poor look out if calling people "newb" is an accepted form of insult - there are plenty of long-time posters here who speak nothing but crap, and yet they seem to be tolerated - because they're 'our' crap talkers?

[drewtwo99]

please note that I used the inoffensive term "new poster" and not newb, or newfag. I wouldn't want to upset the delicate sensibilities here in The Pit.

I counted maybe 16 instances since drewtwo99 came on board in the past year or so in which he made a pithy zombie wisecrack after an old thread had been bumped. It just reminds me of the people on some forums (not here, though), who, when something new is posted, someone just posts "First!"

At one time, zombie threads were greatly frowned upon for reasons outlined in Dex's notes, but, since the board is easily searchable with Google, in a number of cases, people have signed up who had relevant info to a dormant thread. Personally I'd prefer leaving the wisecracks to those clueless laowai who sign up and post something irrelevant in an old thread.

ETA: Full disclosure: I wouldn't have even known that someone else had noticed this had he not responded to an old thread I bumped recently.

[Morgenstern]

It's not necessarily an insult to call someone a Newbie, newb, or noob. It is slang for someone who is a newcomer. It's not an insult in that respect.

Calling a longtime poster a noob is an insult, albeit a weak one, as it implies he's a beginner or he has acted like one.

[drewtwo99]

Only 16??? I better get to work spotting these zombie threads!! That's like... only a couple per month

Nitpick: that's anti-zombian.

Well, it used to be one of the Virgin Islands.


ETA With a better joke, too.

Both true.

It pretty much is intended as an insult. Just as lame as the OP and zombie jokes.

Can we let this thread drop for a year or two and then revisit it?

I'll be sure to make a zombie joke about it if that happens.

I've not seen any of these. All I happen upon are the dumb asses that revive the thread with what would have been a fucking useless post even if the thread was current. Then they disappear, never to post again. Dumb asses everywhere.

[BrainGlutton]

FTR, based on contributions to this thread, ScarletNumber is an asshole and an idiot.

[silenus]

We knew that from the OP.

I am suing you for damages because you made me read parts of that thread and it hurt my brain.

You would. Bastard.

I'll pit you for saving cats if it makes you feel better.

Maybe your zombie jokes just aren't as funny as mine?

Really? You would? You could start by talking about my unholy glee when I have the balls cut off males! Then you could complain that I'm willing to trap the neighbor's cats and have them fixed. Not to mention that I think that any kittens in my yard are mine...

(No I won't).

Well heck...I'm never going to be one of the cook kids. Wanders off sobbing.

Cook kids? As in Kook, or Cool, or both combined?

Despite all my Poking With Sticks, I've never been pitted either. I consider that to be a good thing.

Either that, or some day I'll learn that I'm actually on the most Ignore Lists on the SDMB.

Kook is probably the best word. My declawed cat is helping me post. He would bite me for blaming him for the typo, but I had most of his teeth pulled when I took him to the vet to get the pellet gun shards removed from his mouth. No balls, no claws and half of his mouth is gone.
