<< Did someone say Pics...... >>

Fsck! It's Red Dawn! >>



Speaking of which, I haven't seen any Red Dawn posts in a while. Is he (she) taking a break?

 

[bunker]

I can't believe you left out:

15. (no idea what number we're on) The, "I have no social skills and don't know what to do with a woman" poster.

There have been way too many of those lately.

 

[woodly6]

I prefer the term: Forum Slut, thank you

 

[Rallispec]

The "needs relationship advice" anandtecher

<< Hmm, I don't think male members fawn over me. >>


Same here >>



some of us just do it quietly. Also, some girls don't really stand out as being female so they blend in and avoid the fawning. But I bet if you had in your sig: "I am female!" or something to that effect, you'd get more fawning.

AND OHMIGOD!!!!

Its Texmaster, Tominator, Rison, etech and every other right winger!!!

what an acurate description

 

[yllus]

The guy who has more tech experience than anyone else, period.
Likes to start posts with "Well I build 1000 computers a year so it couldn't possibly be my fault <insert component> failed, I've been at this since 1911 when I helped Orville Wright mount a laptop to the Wright Flyer!" For some reason doesn't realize that when x (x > 2) components continue to fail in his system after RMA, it really must be his fault.

The lurker who posts only to bash female members.
Harbours general ill-will at the female sex and takes any opportunity possible to launch withering attacks upon female members to gratify his ego. In reality would lick aforementioned female member's boots for a chance with them.

The wizened old member who swears up and down the place has gone to hell.
Well, who are we kidding? It has.

Devil's advocate.
Picks the opposite position as the topic starter/majority of posters' view for the challenge/posterity/to try and even things up. Often claims to be non-partisan to explain his wavering between issues.

Been guilty of this one myself, and no offense meant.

Maetryx -- << What about those people who try to carve out a personality on this digital wasteland by repeated use of an idiosyncratic salutation? >>

Where do you think the word, nef comes from? There was a guy who was posting in a lot of threads with nothing but the word, nef. After that, everyone called anyone making a lot of repeated useless posts Nef.

 

[Rastus]

Where do the riceboy's fit in? Especially the ones that post making fun of riceboys then give a paragraph explaining why he isn't a riceboy because his Escort is really fast.

 

[Amused]

OMFG, they have the mods!:Q

 

[lebe0024]

Is anyone forgeting the Christian/Atheist Zealots? I easily fall into this catagory. Someone once told me that getting the Christian/Atheist wars out of general hardware was the reason for creating ATOT.

BTW... I will conver you!

Edit: Never mind, found them.

 

[linuxboy]

My favorite are some variation on, '"Can I have some of what you're smoking, Moonbeam?"

Alas, this is all too true. A recent favorite of mine is by tweakmm who said pass the bong in this thread.

I also believe you have forgotten a type of anandtecher that fits in a separate category.

12. Philosophic polemicist

Can be seen bringing meaning and order to various threads discussing worldviews and ideas. Often uses factual knowledge and extensive quoting to back up an argument. Usually immune to flamebait attempts from other members. Can provide insight and new twists to commonly held ideas. Usually lurks but sometimes comes out to debate or contribute to specific types of threads. At times is attacked by religious zealots and is accused of making a point far different than originally made. Also, tends to use sarcasm and satire frequently.

Cheers !

[Hoeboy]

what about the bandwagon hoppers? i see so many people change their opinions to match the majority or to the moderator that it's annoying.

<< 6. The Female Anandtecher

Usually frequents the off-topic forum... this girl can say whatever she wants and every male member will just fawn over her, responding with comments of latent sexual nature and TONS of smiley faces, for reasons unknown. Also, has vagina. >>



lol.. that's me! Except I don't think I get fawned over either..
