failblog apparently doesn't play Dwarf Fortress if it thinks that Kitten in gravy doesn't sound like dinner.

[ChJees]

Hahaha!

Nothing wrong to wok cats and dogs in Dwarf Fortress .

Also, the people who read failblog are complete and utter fucktards, judging from the average intelligence level of the comments just on that page alone.

Yes, they're so bad that it merits the use of the word fucktard. In fact, it merits the use of that word twice.

Meanwhile, I'ma go eat mah kittehz in gravy.

Note: Playing Dwarf Fortress will make you go mentally insane and turn you into a barbaric psycho.

Also it will make you spam job cancellation messages to your boss.

You know how icanhascheezburger communicates like a bunch of cats?  Well, failblog is full of failures to communicate.  The politics one has a detectable signal, sometimes -- you can at least usually figure out what the original picture is.

The DF forums always amaze me at how cogent and civil they are and remain.

[FunnyMan]

Yeah, I'm eternally disappointed with the comment quality on ICHC and related sites.  Every once in a while, I forget what site I'm on and click on the comments link, thinking I'll take a look at the discussion.  "Nawt secnod!"   :wince:

Does not compute

EDIT:  Unless you were being sarcastic

[Demonic Gophers]

You don't think these forums are cogent and civil? :blink:

Oh, they mostly are, not always though.  And the irony of one poster insulting failblog readers (crudely) just before another posts a "we are a little better cuz we're civil" was just too fun to not comment

EDIT: Wait, are you agreeing with me?  That :blink: seems to hint that you do

well, either that or you're flirting

scary

[Makrond]

Heh. If they were a little more intelligent, I would never have been so crude.

Unfortunately, they weren't. Anyway, I wasn't commenting on their civility - they're fairly nice (if I'm reading it even remotely correctly), but the spelling, grammar and overall crudeness of the comments warranted my use of that particular word. And it's not one I use lightly, being friends with a few mentally disabled people (seriously, most of them are nice, but I can't stand some of them. I don't care how retarded you are, you don't get to be an asshole to people). Fuckwits I could go without, though (my use of fucktard is a combination of fuckwit and retard, in case you didn't know).

Damn, there's a lot of swearing in this post.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

The only forum I have ever found to be more civil and cogent than this one is the Brass Goggles steampunk forum.
And, like this forum, all the members were mildly bats.

I hang around a message board called LUE. I seriously, seriously doubt anyone here's heard of it, but it's a Gamefaqs social board that got locked, oh, four years or so ago. Average intelligence and maturity skyrocketed. So it's about as mature as these boards. If not more-so because LUE doesn't get the occasional troll or spammer.

Other then that, the only other place I actually post somewhat regularly on is here. I'm actually fairly insulated from the stupidity of the internet.

I post here and...one forum dedicated to a series of books (the author posts frequently and loves giving teasers)...one ShadowRun RP thread on MythWeavers (RL friend of mine is running it)...one newsgroup that's fairly sophisticated, if slow...and one other forum that...died, I think.  It used to be sophisticated and well reasoned, but lately I think all the well reasoned people left because a) there was nothing to talk about and b) there were growing numbers of less insightful people (despite a rigid examination of all want-to-be-registered users).

Failblog.org is like many other websites. An interesting portrait beside a pile of dog shit. Most people walk up and admire the portrait because it has some value to them, usually humour. Other people on the other hand feel an excruciating urge to step in the shit, and once they do they track it all over the floor on their way out the door.

Come for the fail, stay for the laughs, leave before the shitstorm. 

The DF forums are nothing like this.

Oh god, that was funny.  Thanks, will brighten up the couple hours I'm about to spend doing data entry for the political campaign (you know, other people do the phone calls, I input all that data into the computer).
