Hey guys, be careful not to break the first two rules of the internet! Even though this "AMIRITE??" post really cracked me up!

It's good to see, that this discussion seems to be over now, I really got enraged by it.

Did you? Seriously? Oh man, that's silly.

Nice video.

Black people look really good in yellow.

webwit · 12 Mar 2012, 01:24

Off-topic idiot. Either flame the video, black people, or the color yellow.

Bees do too.

Especially bumblebees - Yellow and Black.

Here's a Video:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kuh2dSym19U[/youtube]

Really, you guys gotta fix that.

webwit · 12 Mar 2012, 02:14

But then we'd miss the repetitive deliberate subtle joke of you doing it wrong.

It's a pretty dumb designer who does things the awkward way just for the sake of it, especially when it's not explained anywhere. My bet is that it's done on purpose, so that some clever bod can come along and laugh, while he feels all intelligent by showing you "how it's done". The feeling of superiority is ten fold when the person not realising how to do it is a n00b...

That's almost as silly as having code that would arbitrarily force you to re-arrange the characters of a URL backwards, so that the link (forwards, normal) embeds correctly.

Today's keyword: pointless.

PS: ripster - I bet yellow people look good in black also

You remind me of KL. Perhaps MW.

But moving on....

I'm leaving this one here for the Koreans.

^ Some expert.

Btw, the Indonesians are making fun of you. Seems they haven't caught up yet with the new guru personality you cloned from a mole on the Oracle.

ripster · 30 Mar 2012, 20:31

Ror!

You should really rejoin Geekhack. It's like shooting fish in a barrel now.

Fix'd that for you.

I thought he was impersonating an older senile man, that has to force his knowledge upon others repeatedly.. over and over and over again

ripster · 01 Apr 2012, 17:30

The Koreans are starting to get mad at me at Geekhack for some reason.

Seriously, wtf is up with your 'new' GH avatar? Can't you just change it back to the regular girl of the good old days? Shit is creeping me out.. Incidentaly, it doesn't happen to be webwit's face or some shit like that right? Prob not, guess you'd be banned again then

webwit · 02 Apr 2012, 13:43

It's from a Kaskus joke (Indonesian forum). Someone registered as ripster and acts like an idiot. I don't speak Indonesian but they seem to prefer the witometer.

itlnstln · 02 Apr 2012, 14:34

Damn, ripster. Banned on GH? WTF?

I tried to PM, but no workee.

Hmm you should really complete the Indonesian interface. Indonesian translation by ripstar, sounds good.

ripster · 02 Apr 2012, 15:11

Selamat datang!

Yep, banned for an Active April 1!

Yeah, I checked in for a couple of minutes yesterday, and all types of stuff was going on. How come you get banned, and others didn't? I didn't see anything you did, specifically, that should have gotten you banned.

Oh, well...

*Cue webwit's evolution picture*

webwit · 02 Apr 2012, 15:16

It's because yesterday imav finally threw the towel and offered a merger with deskthority. The (cleaned of trolls) user base will be transfered to us, and imav will become a moderator of the off-topic section.

ripster · 02 Apr 2012, 15:18

Well other than accidentally deleting the Cherry MX wiki and terrorising Koreans I was just doing my standard April fool thang.

Actually KL reported me for threadcrapping his Click Clack profiteering classifieds.

For this I am Proud!

I would welcome this. GH is pretty much only an off-topic forum from my standpoint. The keyboard discussion there is... uh... not in my realm of interest. Plus, it's like talking to a bunch of 10-year-olds sometimes.

I guess, slurring people is not a bannable offense, but threadcrapping is. Whatever. Trying to profit on ClickClack's work is a dick-move anyway.

ripster · 02 Apr 2012, 15:26

I LIKE this Indonesian forum.

Classy Sigs!

Plus I hear Webwit Likes Duckface! quack! Quack! Quak!

Did wonder what was going on when I saw your account was banned. It goes get quite heated over on geekhack, much more relaxed on deskthority. For two forums about the same subject they couldn't be more different.

Very little clack sales on here also.

ripster · 02 Apr 2012, 15:31

Back in the Day of Lmnop OCN was fun but now it's a snooze and Geekhack IS OCN.

Well, when you get a bunch of tee-ballers with a high sense of self-entitlement and skin thinner than bible paper, butts get hurt rather frequently. The lulz factor may not be as high here on DT, but the crowd is more mature and the discussion more relevant.

I just saw bhtooefr just moved a bunch of his reviews. Another old-timer GHer is making the (wise) switch.

ripster · 02 Apr 2012, 15:42

I'd move my Wikis but the admins here don't like my watermark.
