The basement crowd would go apeshit. I got enough hatemail about the 3 charcater limit already. :tark:

That is 99% accurate.

I try to post only when I have something meaningful to add to a discussion, unless it's a wyhi-type thread where a 1 word response is adequate. I also try to post only things I would say in real life, so after I've typed something up I re-read it and think to myself "would I say this if I was face-to-face with the person?" This is why I've been here for 9+ years and only have 4,000 something posts.

Bucky balls ftw.

But I doubt you're thinking nuclear physics and carbons.

This is true.

I find it annoying when I meet a person in real life from message boards to be completely different and socially inept. I'm not calling names, there's a few of you on here that are guilty of this.

Then there's people who post dumb replies that's either meaningless or without any substance. Fucking a you people are the shitstains of this site.

I don't go on here that much anymore mainly because the lack of personalities some of you guys have. Especially you negative fucks, get over yourselves. I can't imagine how some of you function in normal social settings without being creepy or weird. Find a new hobby, expose yourself to the sun more than 2x a week or some shit.
