OCN makes me happy because I annoy people there and their reactions are funny.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #2 on:** Thu, 21 October 2010, 15:52:37 »

What I love about OCN is I was never a member there (I found out about GH through a Google search) but thanks to so many folks here, I can already tell that I wouldn't like it.

Maytan, welcome to Geekhack!

You need an Avatar. This one looks nice.

And I have more Rep Points than you with 1/3rd the posts.

I often wonder why my reputation is so lacking.

Then again, who wants to give rep to a guy that breaks stabilizers and pesters Metadot's support to fix them?

Maytan · « **Reply #7 on:** Thu, 21 October 2010, 16:54:24 »

You got rep for directing him to a thread made by runeazn? Sweet mercy, I wish I had your magic touch.

That lmnop is quite the tough one, though. Definitely not a person I'd double cross if I valued my life.

I've already been yelled at by at least 4 moderators, and have gotten the attention of many members. Just because I use Windows for Workgroups 3.11, they debate whether or not I'm real.

Runeazn got banged around a bit here.

I don't mean to be judgmental, and I know English apparently isn't his first language, but is it so hard to use a spell checker?

It's not a chat room, after all...

I actually don't own a TI-83 calculator. But I got a few TI-86's they got rid of at work lying around. I also got a few old LED display scientific calculators as well.

You must be piling up infractions by now.

You're not supposed to say screw. I got one for saying "Fukka".

Really?

I seriously like GameFAQs moderators more than OCN mods at this point. I mean, that's even after stuff like this:

The only moderator I like is Manyak. At least he doesn't go around keeping things G-rated as if the forum was designed for 12-year olds. (wait a minute...)

The only reason I'm staying active on OCN is to get rid of my 5770's. There's no place else to sell them (ebay fines you up the arse, and I'm not a fan of Craigslist); 12 rep to go.

The only benefits I know of are access to the marketplace at 35 then somewhere down the line you start earning 'flames'. (also, an overclocked account)

So you admit to trolling on other boards, just not here?

instantkamera · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 22 October 2010, 13:15:39 »

Ahhhh wikipedia, the troll's bible

You could be right, not sure I want that to be the case though.

Is it possible MW started out as a troll, then actually read one of his own posts one day and wasn't sure if he was trolling or not and thus reverse-self-trolled himself resulting in the anomaly that is MW as we know him today??

no?

Oh, he's just simple? OK.

I don't troll here anymore. Nowadays, I overall have friendly intentions here. I really don't try to be mean and annoying here. But, if any of you guys truly have some issue with me, just PM me and we can work it out privately.

Now OCN, that's a different story. Geekhack is a small community of nice people run by a good admin. OCN is a bunch of nerds with rampaging 10 year olds who call themselves "mods". I'm not that bad on OCN, but I'm not sure if the "mods" are ready for a good dose of Windows 3.1.

Anyhow, here's my latest work of art.

One of the rampaging 10 year old terrorists (aka mods) deleted it. So, I had to improvise. Wonder how they like road kill...

I got two points for posting the trollface as part of a serious reply and was told to keep it in offtopic. Harumph.

muchadoaboutnothing · « **Reply #25 on:** Sat, 23 October 2010, 10:59:19 »

tl;dr boring argument, poorly made joke

too long, will read even though it's uninteresting:

It was the whole 2 pages of misunderstanding context which is an argument I don't wish to revisit. I made a joke that I didn't know the mechanical keyboard guide had multiple pages, and when someone told me what page we were on, I posted the reply and explained that I had known and was just making a joke since I didn't read the posts prior and corrected someone who was knowledgeable about MX switches.

Sounds like that place is just about as much fun as any other totalitarian regime.

Hard rules tend to work best for simple-minded sheep, while driving anyone with at least half a brain nuts.
