Note: Clown car came about because some one said it and it became a thing, you cannot tell people what to call it, it will merely evolve on its own.

Edit: Also I think clown car is dumb and support HFS.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoilers are in the thread title.

No, I meant actually using spoiler tags instead of all this "clown" garbage, all the time.

Because spoilers are annoying for the lazy people to use.

Where'd the stupid "clown" thing come from in the first place? Was there a mod that changed the demons into clowns or something?

Well, my interpretation is that clowns are all sexual predators, and so some of the old HFS is like a clown that way. Another is that you open the door and all the clowns pile out.

Took me a few to find it but here it is, the source of the whole 'clown' thing...  I personally thought it was sort of lame when it happened as well, but I usually just go with the flow.

I always thought HFS meant Happy Fun Stuff....it's all happy right? Clowns are happy.

Right?

I'm fine with HFS for a broad overarching term. Worked well in the past, should work fine for now.

My brother and I had a good laugh over reading the descriptions of some of the individual entities. We now call them "Pokemon" as a kind of in-joke referring to some of the bizarre forms that we have witnessed.

How about "unspeakable evils of the forbidden realm". You know, something light.

And that ... that is immortality.

When did people start calling them clowns and Clownite?  I thought they actually meant there was a literal clown race easter egg hidden somewhere and got myself wiped out by

trying to find it.  Thanks a lot guys.  :-\

I think the "clown" gag is stupid.  Call them HFS, spoiler them, or make a vague reference to death and suffering when you dig to greedily.

I prefer the latter as it's the most dramatic and leaves those people who are yet unspoilt curious but also afraid of what might be down there.
