Where on earth did you pull that gem from?
All I can imagine now is some kind of "haters gonna hate thing", it really isn't that.
Of those 4 celebrities I could only justify one and yes even Alyaines sunshine and smiles really annoyed me sometimes because it seemed like she was trying just that little bit too hard, but that's me after all and I'm a tad cynical.
She was actually doing something nobody had really done before and it promoted a positive wave across the forum, we even got a new section because of it.
A round of applause was justified for her.
The rest of them?
Do remind me of their stella contributions other than being in the post count pumping station known as forum games?
The rest of the time it's spent derailing threads with their friends and it is really irritating to watch it go on and on.
NeonBob actually made great posts outside of the Forum Games when he did show up but there was always half a page of "spot the neonbob" crap.
Every time, thaaarr she blows.
This post is more a reply in general to things you've said over this thread, I'm just too lazy to go through and quote you in sections.
We get it, you don't like me, Daystar or anyone else who's conceived to be "popular" because it apparently allows us to get away with stuff here. But just because we're "popular" doesn't mean we're above the forum rules. Daystar himself has three hits to his name right now and I've had two which were removed due to a broken health bar. And if I were to call you a **** right now, do you honestly think I'd get away with just because I'm "popular"? No, I wouldn't. I can prove it to you if you wish, I'm willing to take the hit to prove we're not all up the Mods asses and they're not up ours. Because it's fucking bullshit. We'd get mod wrathed whether we were popular, unpopular, loved, hated or just a normal poster.
As for the contribution thing, yeah, I've made next to no contribution here. You want to know why? Because I like
having fun. That's why 50K+ of my posts have been made in FGs and User Groups, so I don't clutter the forum with the worthless jokes, friendly insults and random shit that fills the majority of my posts. When I'm on the forums, in OT, GD and User Reviews, I try to be serious but if someone quotes me and tries to have fun, yeah, I'll respond to it. If this makes me a "derailer" in your eyes, so be it, I'll continue to do it because it's fun to goof around with friends, at least for me. And tell me, while we're talking about contributions, what contribution have you made to the forums? What have you done here to actually make anything you've done worthwhile? I'll admit, I've done fuck all to contribute to the forums apart from a couple of user reviews, but what have you personally done to make you think that you've contributed to the forums and the "popular" users haven't? Unless you've made a new sub forum like Aylaine or had some content published by the escapist itself, you've done the same as me to contribute around here.
And Timelord is right. By going on about this, you ARE making the "celebs" more popular.
And, just in general, not just to you Lyri, I'm glad we're doing this horrible cycle all over again because it was so much fun the last time this fucking bullshit happened with Furburt and my user group, which were accused of the exact same things people have been mentioning here. ¬_¬
[sup]Also sorry for bumping this thread but...yeah, I'm fed up with this shit and want to address it.[/sup]
