Why is that uprising? Or... Even casual. Since it had to do with a sock puppet he banned like. Minutes before. And someone asked for more information.

Yeah, this is probably the best thing I've ever seen. I'll drink to a second term--especially if the White House throws me a couple extra bottles of that delicious-looking brew!

Edit: Thanks to Lord Inquisitor for the link!

In the grim future, the Toad controls all.

It is the 2nd Millennium. For more than a decade The Toad has sat immobile on the Golden Office Chair of Washington State. He is the Master of Bay 12 by the will of the internet, and master of a million bytes by the might of his inexhaustible coding. He is a restless mathematician writhing invisibly with power from the Modern Age of Technology. He is the Amphibian Lord of the Twelfth Bay for whom a thousand suggestions are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly sleep.

Yet even in his sleepless state, the Toad continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty threads cross the bot-infested remnants of Various Nonsense, the only route between the distant boards, their way lit by the Forum Guidelines, the digital manifestation of the Toad's will. Vast usergroups give discussion in his name on uncounted sites. Greatest amongst his users are the Lower Forumites, the Bay Watchers, socially abnormal angry debators. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Upper Forumites and countless Escaped Lunatics, the ever vigilant ThreeToe and the mafia aficionados of the Forum Gamers to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to completely ignore the nonexistant threat from trolls, heretics, spammers - and worse.

To be a Bay Watcher in such times is to be one amongst untold hundreds. It is to post in the cruelest and most hilarious network imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of scripted events and 3D graphics, for so much has been discarded, never to be retried. Forget the promise of cell shading and multiplayer, for in the moderate dimness of the here and now there is only Dwarf Fortress. There is no peace amongst the Bay, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting Watchers."

I kept the quote around for something, I knew it.

I don't know what gender you are, but I want your babies. Right meow.

I'm so saving that. Warhammer 40,000 and Bay 12 wrapped up together? Genius.

It's like discussing with friends whether hell exists or not and then Jesus pops up right next to you and casually joins in with the conversation like it's nothing.

So Macromeme has dead ends.

National media is using the word 'troll' like they're being paid to do it. Using it to describe YouTube-style fuckery rather than argument bait. I'm convinced the entire country of Australia has been trolled. All it took was one hospitalisation for attempted suicide.

[Euld]

Eesh, was wondering when the media would finally get their hands on the word "troll" and use it as a scrapegoat as to why they need to hate on the internet generation.

First day of school. Teachers say what class everybody is in. I do Latin, and i hear the name of a few other people that were in the same class as me last year, and they didnt do so well last year and probably wont make it this year.

Why do parents let their children do Latin if they KNOW they cant handle it?

[scriver]

Consider the possibility of parents forcing them do it.

[miauw62]

Thats what i ment with my question, why the fuck would you force your kid to do Latin if they cant handle it?

I see we all got trolled by those worms.

Because Prestige! and Expectations! of course.
