Quote from: "Recusant"I think it's worth while to append two references to this very useful and entertaining thread.  They are both rather old, and more oriented to the world of usenet, but I think still quite applicable, not to mention fun reading, especially the second.

1) Trolling Lore is a very good overview of the subject, and food for thought, as an explanation of certain phenomena one sees on forums on 'teh interwebs.'

2) Linked from the previous page is the roster of  types of Flame Warriors, which is a very amusing menagerie, indeed.  I recognize aspects of myself in some of these critters.  :D

That is a very entertaining and informative list. Like you, I too recognized aspects of those "warriors" in my own forum experience. I also noticed that some of the worst offenders on that list seem to be double true on this particular forum. Luckily for us the moderators here do a fine job of weeding those people out.

I just read the history of Boxxy, I can't believe I missed that one. 4Chan can be psychotic at times... almost as cracked out as Boxxy

4chan is always crazy, that's what makes it so much fun.

Boxxy rules. I'd give anything just to talk to her.

I personally think she's like a car wreck, but, hey, whatever, man.

As a newcomer, are there always this many trolls, or is this just a heavy week (or a light one)?

Congrats curio on 2300 posts!  :beer:
