let's be honest we've all been trolled before and some of us have trolled others....today's question you ask? what was the first time you have (or have been) trolled?

Why would I remember the first time I was trolled? I haven't a clue. I probably wasn't even aware of it...

I can tell you my most memorable moments of being trolled/ dealing with trolls if you'd like...

Thanks everyone for the quick response.

I believe I was part of the biggest troll war in internet history.

See if you can find anything on 'Picto-Chat Flame Wars'.

Yes, it actually has historical relevence.

It was essentially a fight over playing an imaginary RPG called Picto-Quest on your Nintendo DS, and it grew to such mammoth proportions that GameFaqs practically had to shut down the forum and establish martial law. If you broke wind out of tune they'd ban you. The battle was so large that the Board remained in the Top Ten for several months. Threads were almost wall-to-wall with flame inducing Topics on the subject, and people who got banned simply created a another version of themselves with a number at the end. I'd seen accounts in the double didgets at times. After several months, they finally cracked down and banned anyone on the Board. If you posted that your grandmother died and you needed condolences they'd boot you.
In the end, it fizzled itself out. People attempted to create a 'Secret' Message Board under a false game name to continue it, but most of the veterens just ignored it. The Picto-Chat wars were essentially over.

Pretty awesome, huh?

I tend not to remember non-memorable instances, so I can't recall that information. It probably had something to do with <link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ>this though.

I was trolled recently on my YT channel. Some guy went on one of my videos just to call me a jackass and insult my opinions. I did the only sensible thing and blocked him.

I don't think I trolled anyone. I never go on anything just to flame people and act like an ass.

Can't think of the first time I got trolled.

But I have been a rather consistent troll on the WoW suggestion forums, calling stupidity (and there's heaps of it) where I see it.

I don't care to recall trolls because they are the kinds of things that happen when you're drunk. You were there for it but after it happens you don't remember a thing.

I'm still a little sketchy on the definition of 'Trolling'.

I've been on forums for years and still don't quite grasp the concept.

When someone explains it, I'll edit in a response.
Essentially, someone who says something controversial or provocative just to get a rise out of someone. That's not to say that someone who expresses a controversial opinion is a troll (despite what some say), they have to do it with the intention of making people angry.

I've never trolled, but I've been trolled.

Of course, people have accused me of trolling before, but from my understanding and view, trolling is the intentional aggravation of other posters for the simple purpose of aggravation. If I offend someone, its with my actual opinion, not because I enjoy pissing people off.

Blah, I want to make link a relevant conversation I had on this very site but I can't remember the thread. It was on this site and it had to do with Dante's Inferno. I'll be looking for it for your entertainment pleasure for a bit...

I think trolling for me is abit of a loose definition, because half the time it seems to be just someone voicing a different opinion quite verbally. I was accused of being a Troll once and got into abit of an argument with the guy, I went into the user groups to ask whether I was indeed trolling or being trolled. Most of them just thought the guy was being a dick to me and told him to stop. Beyond that, no I haven't really trolled but like I suggested earlier it's normally in the eye of the beholder.

Can't recall the first time I did it or the first time it happened to me, It just recall the worst ones, which are always in RTS games. they get really cocky and start talking big shit the second they kill one of your workers, but the second, and I mean the VERY second they start questioning your sexuality and shit. Of course I could be confusing trolling with a douchebag again, but either way the both need to be cannibalized alive.
