It's called a copypasta, lurk moar


4chan catchphrases are not welcome here. If you want to talk like this, go to 4chan. We use proper English here.

I don't know what forum you're moderating, but ANN is the GameFAQs of anime. Proper English is NOT one of the first thoughts to come to my mind when I hear about this place. Also, I fail to see how that copypasta, which was completely grammatically correct and quite humorous, could possibly be outlawed. If anything, disciplinary measures should be taken on the individuals who flamed Kilga for posting it, considering Kilga's post wasn't flamebait.

PS - "Lurk moar" isn't a 4chan catchphrase.

But who do you listen to who talks about it?

Because it's derrived from a shameless, FYAD rip-off on 4Chan, who's sole purpose is to shit out shitting dicknipples, image macros, stupid pictures, and catchphrases.

Obviously you're happier on other forums so it won't bother you in the least that I've banned you from these forums!

It all works out well for everyone in the end.

GameFAQs has Fencedude and Edible, though. Hard to compete with that.

I only have a very slight idea who the first one of those people are, and I don't like him/her in the slightest. I don't exactly know what it'd be competing against.

The competition in question is general overall awesomeness. The Fencedude/Edible one-two punch is not easily equalled in such a competition.

Sad Not for me.

Goodbye Mint, my one true love ~<3 It was fun while it lasted. Crying or Very sad

Also, this thread has gotten very off topic. I just came to give my farewell to Mint and I don't know why the hell Gamefaqs is being discussed in an Avatar thread.

Edit: While I'm on the topic, on what basis was he banned? He didn't break any of the rules that I know of.

Fags arguing about redundant crap on an cesspool of an internet messageboard doesn't exactly scream awesome.

Given they primarily talk about anime and are both really intelligent about it, your statement doesn't exactly speak volumes for ANN. (Remember, you said it, not me.)

You also seem to be equating the gaming boards at GameFAQs with the social boards. The gaming board are moronic, yes, but many of the social boards are a different beast altogether. The General Anime/Manga board happens to be one of these. For one (speaking of fags arguing about redundant crap), they don't have stupid arguments over lolicon or the legality of subs where no one ever makes any headway against the other side. I will certainly admit I took part in the former (so don't bother trying to pin that on me), but that doesn't change the fact that it happens here almost with regularity whereas it happens over there pretty much never.

Don't get me wrong, I like this forum enough to appreciate my ability to post here (if I didn't I would either leave or get myself banned). I'm just saying that you should check yourself for pot-like qualities before talking about the kettle.

So you banned him for simply talking back to you in a polite and respectable manner without breaking the rules?

Christ, you basically "owned" yourself. Good job at handling his reply.

All the guy's ever done is troll threads here, try to piss me off and argue with the staff. He signed up to troll the lolicon thread, and it's obvious he doesn't like these forums. He's an annoyance, so I got rid of him.

Did you just sign up here to post this and your oh-so-hilarious image macro?

Maybe it's because you people make posts that are about as interesting to read as a political debate between 70 year-olds on television complaining about whether or not taxes are too high or too low.

Oh, wait, I'm thinking of GameFaqs. You guys turn out to be as interesting as a documentary of watching pant dry. At least on AnimeonDVD the threads are attention-grabbing despite having some of the dumbest people on the internet. They probably won't be up your ass for a small and trival 4chan reference that nobody else would possibly make any effrot to at least pretend they give a shit.

So then go post there and stop reading these forums. How hard is that?

Alright, this is way, way off topic now, so I'm gonna lock it up.
