12:18pm: Oppression -- it's not just for breakfast anymore....
This little gem was passed along by a member of of a humor-oriented RP, campfuckudie. While I'm profoundly clueless about RP's, it's hard not to see the, erm, hilarity here. Campfuckudie's mission statement, as described in the userinfo is: a crack multifandom RP (meaning Harry Potter, Edward Elric, and Nara Shikamaru are all welcome to attend) where zombies run amok and non-players are encouraged to participate through personal comments to the characters and NPCs. Here at the Camp, we strive to create an interactive fandom B-movie that borders on stupid, basically. All in all, a place that doesn't seem to take itself too seriously.

But as surely as empires will always rise and fall, and the oceans will always crash against shores populated exclusively by burnt tourists in gaudy Hawaiian shirts and plastic sandals, people will always take something too seriously. Enter [info]sarahtheboring. Her username alone hints at the self-perception issues soon to come, and when she posts to ask how to be funneh, it is a small foretaste of things to come.

Humor-blind. Help? )

But this is just a prelude to the fun stuff to come. A week or so later, a Modly One makes a post to announce that people will start being kicked out for inactivity

At first, people react rationally. Someone hits on the entirely important, if apparently random, issue of garden gnomes, other people ask boring but relevant questions about the issue, I start to realize how many fucking people on my various f-lists are in this community, and so on.

Then Ms. theboring's inferiority complex pops back up again... )

For fans of insane troll logic, it's well worth the read....

ETA: Not that she's a troll. It's just a Buffy reference where...oh, fuck it. Just read the damned comments.

ETA the 2nd: Just a reminder -- trolling the places/people being wanked is generally verboten. And, in these terms, "trolling" includes jumping into the fray, even if you aren't actually being a troll. While biz's claim of f_w trolls seems a bit exaggerated (the explosion in comments seems, in a large part, due to her and other members), I still found a couple f_w members who weren't also members of campfuckudie commenting there. Trolling the wanks is a potentially bannable offense. Just don't do it, please.
9:42pm: Not exactly a wank, but a goodbye to an old wanker
I thought a few of you might be interested in this. It's Adele Sessler's "goodbye, cruel internet" swansongish thing sorta.

Adele is giving up WankhavenMeadowhaven. But she's not about to go out without one last squirt:

"The place has gotten really bad over the past two years, and I've tried several times to clean it up. I've warned people, banned people, removed threads, restricted certain things, elected mods, and nothing's worked for long. This board has changed so much."

Omigod I've tried soooooo hard to stop ppl being mean and NOTHING HAS WORKED so I'm closing the board!!!!!1

Goodbye, font of wank. I know I'll miss you.
Current Mood: Goodbye, sweet wank!
