The legend of Zeldar

It’s.

(Anal as fuck about grammar and spelling.) :wink:

This is what Miller said in the ATMB thread I started.

Trouble is, it doesn’t look like it’s working.

Personally, I think he made a bet with someone to see how many list threads he could make before he was stopped.

I think I was in CS the other day and refreshed the page and eleventy-billion top 5 threads appeared and I was about to rant about it somewhere when my wifi cut out. When I checked back in I saw I was not the only one annoyed by it both here and in ATMB and was glad I didn’t have to rant about it.

Then I thought he was definitely trolling when I saw one of the threads (top 5 Tor Johnson films) but I realized it wasn’t Zeldar’s but SnowBo who was most likely attempting a parody. I can understand Bo’s frustration but when there are already a gazillion threads making another one as a parody is probably not going to have the effect you want and will get you included in Zeldar’s pitting. So I am tacking SnowboarderBo onto Zeldar’s pitting and including anyone else who decides to take up even more space in CS by making parody threads.

It’s been one day. How fast do you think threads normally drop off the first page?

Yeah Bo’s parody thread was a little too much like the genuine article. Many are taking it seriously. It could have had promise, but not sure it will turn into the kind of thread Bo was hoping for.

Or maybe he is a huge Tor fan and I’m being whooshed.

When I start them? 3.2 seconds.

List threads are the ultimate in message board masturbation. Once it gets beyond a page, do you think anyone is reading everyone else’s choices? Hell no. They don’t care. They just want to put their own words on you.

Count me as another one who’s opened Cafe Society and backed right out lately.

That actually makes me punch walls.

“Anybody recommend a good western?”
“Here is a list of every Western ever made with no comment on which I would actually recommend and also a link to the Western movie database so you won’t need this thread anymore”.
“Go fuck yourself you hypothetical dingbat.”

Am I wrong in not thinking that this thread had to be posted in the Pit? If all you’re doing is asking Zeldar why he like polls so much (as the ATMB thread is covering the “don’t post so many at once” part), I would think the mods would be okay with that in MPSIMS.

When I asked him, he just said he figured he was wired differently than everyone else. He wonders why the things he finds interesting don’t interest everyone else.

He’s also said he’s a big fan of the “unpopular threads will fall off the page” idea. There’s this one thread he kept bumping to just have a conversation about posting habits on the board which got closed, and he thought that was silly.

But he was also extremely gracious about it, so I doubt he’s offended at all about being asked to pull back on the polls.

Of course you are, what a stupid question.

Shut up, BigTard.

Yes, you are wrong. Complaints about users belong in the Pit. It doesn’t matter if the complaint is minor or is directed at someone who generally doesn’t annoy people.

This thread is where it belongs.

Many, many people posted and voted in those threads. How many people actually thanked Zeldar for the hours and hours of work he did?

This didn’t need to be in the Pit. What’s wrong with a PM asking him to back off for a while?

And you post so little of substance that it’s difficult to even call what you say wrong. You post to snipe, and you’re not even all that good at it. At least luci makes you laugh. At least Shodan makes you angry. I’m pretty sure that, if you stopped posting right now, no one would even notice you were gone.

If you’re going to use code to make a username stand out, why don’t you bold them like normal people do?

And the fact is, you are wrong. This is the place for criticism of other posters, even if it is mild and restrained criticism.

Hey, moron! He wouldn’t be complaining if he just asked a him a question.

The thing about the BigTard label I’ve noticed the only people who use it seem to be dumber than I am. And I’m not the most intelligent person here by a long shot.

But you do always have to say something stupider than anything I say.

Fucker. Get on that satin chaise longue!

Again, he wouldn’t be criticizing anyone. I’ve already asked him that question and gotten an answer. And I gave it to be nice, and then buckshit pissed all over me. He’s too stupid to read beyond three words in a post.

It’s a called a fucking typo. Bringing it up to call me not a normal person is a shitty thing to do. I only give you a pass because you’ve been suicidal lately and I don’t want to contribute to that.

But if you are depressed, you shouldn’t go around insulting people.
