Thanks, Naney and Firebert. :)

>OTOH, they still worship you as the best mod in the place.

This is actually kind of irritating, for several reasons, although I appreciate that it's meant well.

The Triumphant has been more critical of me, and he's one of the few people there who I think has a legitimate point beyond taking the piss.

Anonus · 2012-01-16 01:52:59

I admit one of the reasons I try to keep my "disturbing" traits on the down-low (and encourage CA to do the same) is because I used to worry about their notice (though I've probably been quoted there, I've said a bunch of stupid things in my time). Not like they'd do anything to me, I don't think, so maybe I worry too much.

Princess Alice · 2012-01-16 01:53:42

For some reason it's interesting to me that people liked it when AU and I dominated the Trash Heap with our obsessions.

Especially because the same kind of behavior wasn't well-received in #yackfest. I know, a chatroom environment is different, but still.

millercross · 2012-01-16 01:53:50

I'm not a big fan of The Triumphant and let's leave it at that.

With that said, I think they're just overreacting to the fact that you display a modicum of sanity. :p

Isn't that the one who decided to do a critique of troper poetry (how bored do you have to be, seriously) ?

squiddle: I know. Apparently their main issue with it is that it's deliberately very weird. Which is not something I'm about to dispute, because it is.

Tachyon · 2012-01-16 01:57:27

Yes, that's the one.

Which I actually thought was quite helpful, although I didn't appreciate the implication that I was some kind of emotionally stunted robot or whatever.

grad students, amirite

Princess Alice · 2012-01-16 02:00:12

...and now it occurs to me that the difference between the Trash Heap and #yackfest is that someone not interested in the current topic of a forum thread can easily post elsewhere in the forum, whereas dominating an IRC channel with obsessions pretty much blocks out all other topics.

God I'm dumb.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-16 02:01:44

I don't know these people on a by-name level. Secondhand information only, I haven't actually looked at Something Awful in forever and don't want to start now.

Viani · 2012-01-16 02:02:44

Heapers is the only place i feel safe discussing touching moment about my life....because you guys don't take it as seriously and to-heart as others.

#yackfest is filld with people who don't like you or anonus, don't take it too seriously. The weight behind their words was unexistant when they were throwing a lurker shitfit about your guy's discussion.

Tachyon · 2012-01-16 02:02:48

^^^ Also, some people do read forums just out of interest, without the intention of posting.

Weirdos.

IRC channels, not so much.

You know, sometimes I feel weird for worrying about catching SA's notice, even though I wouldn't know and they wouldn't do anything to me other than pick at me a little.

Princess Alice · 2012-01-16 02:02:59

I don't really care one way or the other about Something Awful, to be honest.

Obā-san · 2012-01-16 02:03:42

Me too.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-16 02:04:35

I try not to care. When I do care, it's not because it's SA in particular, it's because people are making fun of me and I'm weirdly oversensitive.

grad students, amirite

I sincerely hope he spent time picking apart "Dinosaurs With Rayguns", I don't care if he read any of my "deep" poetry, because even I don't like that. I just sincerely hope that he spent his time raeging at the poem I wrote about laserbeam-wielding dinosaurs.

Viani · 2012-01-16 02:05:07

SA is a forum. Just because it costs money to post there doesn't mean that they have a say in what I post and believe, or that their word is important to the manner in which I derp.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-16 02:05:16

They have some really neat threads, but from a purely TVT perspective, couldn't care less about them.

Also what Tnophikins said.

Anonus · 2012-01-16 02:05:27

To clarify, I used to, back when people didn't shut up about them.

I'm ordinarily neutral on them, and in fact I got kind of agitated when people didn't shut up about them because it seemed like people were looking for a substitute ED when that place receded into the background.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-16 02:08:05

Amen to that.

I honestly have no real opinion on the site on its own. Just in relation to TVTropes. Now, there are some specific goons that I genuinely dislike, but for other reasons, and we're not going to go into that.

millercross · 2012-01-16 02:08:18

Weirdos.
IRC channels, not so much.

Eh, I don't talk too much on #yackfest that much, but I'm still logged on. It's a good place to jump onto if I feel bored and I also get to log on the crazy shit like Nyktos getting drunk and forgetting how to type.

#yackfest is filld with people who don't like you or anonus, don't take it too seriously.

what? Bullshit. CA and AU are and always have been more than welcome in our channel and I've seen nobody speak badly of them. They sometimes are asked to slow down on the Tv/Typography/etc chatter, though, but we ask Tzetze and ponicalica to stop talking about programming sometimes and they ask me and Zudak to change topics every once in a while. It's not intended as an offense or whatever.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-16 02:08:22

It's annoying when people won't shut up about anything. The only exception I've found thus far would you be and CA with the stuff you're interested in but that doesn't count because you're not doing it in an obnoxious way and it's just part of who you are.

I get bugged when people constantly talk about things I like, let alone crap I'm neutral on.

Tachyon · 2012-01-16 02:08:46

I don't like how some tropers (naming no names) seem to take everything said in that SA thread as gospel truth.

millercross · 2012-01-16 02:10:03

Eh, the SA thread is a circle jerk and that's all there is to it. There are some points here and there, but they are muddled under all the commentaries on Rottweiller's clothes.

Obā-san · 2012-01-16 02:13:37

The SA thread can be fun to read. I is doing it now, and lulz are indeed being provided.

Beholder · 2012-01-16 02:13:45

(sigh) It seems that my main problem with TVT is quite opposite to the problem other people have with it. They seem to want the removal of anything not quite "socially acceptable", and it is exactly what disturbs me.

Princess Alice · 2012-01-16 02:14:41

The only times I've actually felt unwelcome in #yackfest are when HederaHelix starts bitching at me for talking about things that "nobody cares" about. 'Cause y'know, nobody else in the channel EVER talks about things most of the channels isn't interested int!

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-16 02:15:36

Who the hell is Hedera Helix?

The SA thread can be fun to read. I is doing it now, and lulz are indeed being provided.

If you're in to point-and-laugh humor I'm sure it is pretty fun to read. I'm not though, is the thing.

Anonus · 2012-01-16 02:19:46

^^^^English Ivy.

Also I don't really read SA's TVT thread, because it doesn't really interest me.

millercross · 2012-01-16 02:20:06

Hedera Helix = English Ivy.

ETA: SA's thread on TvT needs more lulz and less redundancy.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-16 02:21:03

The vore fetishist telling people to stop talking about things no one cares about?

Now that's a good one.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-16 02:21:32

Huh, I never would have thought Ivy would have a problem with CA.

Then again, that might be because I never knew her all that well.

^She's into vore? Since when?

millercross · 2012-01-16 02:21:36

blah blah blah people change blah blah blah

Beholder · 2012-01-16 02:22:05

Is that what they are trying to do? :/

That's my impression. I could, of course, be wrong. But I hear a lot of cries of how "We don't want to be the kind of site that attracts weirdos". To quote one troper, " an atmosphere where bad opinions are allowed to fester will just bring in more and more bad opinions."

Obā-san · 2012-01-16 02:22:27

I'm very big on point-and-laugh. That accounts for my long trolling career.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-16 02:23:14

I don't know if she still is, but she was at one point.

Regardless I don't feel like talking about her. For reasons.

Also I probably should not have said even that much. Rude to talk about people behind their backs etc. etc.

Anonus · 2012-01-16 02:23:15

I've never seen her go on about vore in the channel. Or anywhere.

^I would have said something to that effect, but worried about coming off as too pushy.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-16 02:23:17

^^^Naney, a troll? Pfffft, yeah right.

lee4hmz · 2012-01-16 02:23:58

I originally came to TVT because I was kind of sick of the point-and-laugh stuff, but then, I still read the CWCki...then again, the CWCki is a lot more respectful than his ED page ever was.

Obā-san · 2012-01-16 02:24:28

^^You'd be surprised....

Viani · 2012-01-16 02:24:43

hahaha Vore

takes a bite out of me everytime.

what? Bullshit. CA and AU are and always have been more than welcome in our channel and I've seen nobody speak badly of them.

When I went on there many people seemed very annoyed and pissed off whenever CA and AU are mentioned, such as Hedera and Nova.

Princess Alice · 2012-01-16 02:25:07

Eh, I probably shouldn't have mentioned Ivy in the first place, but that's been bugging me for like a month now and I felt like bitching.

My bad.

Viani · 2012-01-16 02:26:53

It's okay I DUN LIEK DER E-THUR after a escapade in yackfest that was never resolved and screencaps of much shit-talking relayed to me on IJAYBEEEMINEM TWO.

"That Spoiys a bloody traitoaaah" and all.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-16 02:27:26

That's kinda weird considering I recall her having a lot of niche interests too.

Or maybe that was someone else. I dunno, I get all the regulars I had a falling out with mixed up.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-16 02:28:05

Lee, honey, point and laugh isn't supposed to be respectful. That's what makes it fun.

Naney: lol whatevs

Viani · 2012-01-16 02:28:33

Me too. Like Clearayn and Sand_Josieph (not really).

He mixed me up with evilneko when I got banned, and spawned a 69 page thread on IJBM by accident.
