Because Somebody Had To Do It!
Somebody earlier in a wank had said that it would be rather amusing to see the reaction of the u_make_lj_suck folks if I posted saying that the community really makes LJ suck.

I couldn't NOT do it, it was so tempting, but in case I am A: banned, or the post is B: deleted, I am preserving it here for posterity.

http://www.livejournal.com/community/u_make_lj_suck/212550.html

"You know, I've thought about this for a bit, and I just couldn't avoid the amusing meta-ness of it all.

You see, recently I have come to a conclusion. I assure you, I am not the only one to come to this conclusion.

You see, u_make_lj_suck makes LJ suck.

Not all the time, mind you, but quite often. There are many posts that aren't sucky.

Unfortunately, there are many that are. Some members are suckier than the members they post about.

Some of them complain about LJDrama. This community is a step away from LJDrama. It's like a really tame, really lj_sucky fandom wank. Why doth thou protest so much?

So, in closing, am I the only member of this community that finds it really damned funny that, quite often, a community dedicated to people who suck, er, sucks?"

I'm guessing maybe their heads explode. You know, what with all the meta. Like in movies, when people outsmart robots.

(In unrelated news, how does one A: use a cut tag and B: access their JF codes page on JF? It's really wonky.)

*waits to see what happens*

Addendum: It appears previous post (about Whiny Life Story Girl) has been deleted, along with one made early thismorning by a person with a massive throbbing vendetta against LJDrama saying that when she joined, she didn't want an "LJDrama"-like community, and that all the "drama" in u_make_lj_suck sucked. It's been shown before, however, that this girl sucks in and of herself.

Addendum The Second: It appears to be back again aftr a few hours, with more posts from the original user. It ALSO appears that even the original poster didn't know WTF she was talking about.

*weeps*

	YES! As for codes, if you get on JF via the journalfen.net site, you should see a link for generated codes on the left-hand side menu. And the cut tag is the same as on LJ. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hah! Thanks for the info! I always feel like a plebe on JournalFen, because none of the links work, or blahblah, and I'm just sort of like, OMGWTF? Where is this? How do I update? Why is the sky green? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I know that when I was trying to turn the

fw_offline account into a community, it was driving me nuts that I couldn't find the link ANYWHERE, and the FAQ was blank in the communities section (as it is in a bunch of other things). I figured it out by going to LJ, copying the link to reach the community creation page, pasting it, and then replacing the "livejournal.com" part of the URL with "journalfen.net."

I know the guys running this are working hard, but I do hope they can spruce up the place some more soon.

	Being new to both, could you let me in on this mystery? Please? I've been playing around and figured out how to italicize something, but the cut tag is evading my pathetic attempts. Many thanks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lulinda 2003-06-09 12:14 am UTC (link)
	The cut tag is like so: [lj-cut text="Whatever you want the link to say">Whatever you want behind the cut[/lj-cut] But use <> instead of [] And to italicize something: [i]Whatever you want italicized[/i] also using <> instead of [] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thank you! I feel as though I fell asleep and woke up in the wrong century sometimes. I appreciate the help. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Percy/Houie, I have said it before and I'll say it again - you totally r0x0r my b0x0rz. XD It seems your intended audience is avoiding you thus far, though - everyone I saw just now AGREED with you. But hey, give it a couple more hours and we'll see. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Do you suppose that this makes me an actual troll, for once? And, if I AM an actual troll in this instance, do you suppose they will notice and not feed me, or step in and self-righteously defend their beloved community? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aruru 2003-06-08 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	LOL Well, personally, I don't find it to be honestly trolling, as you made note it was only some people pulling this shit some of the time, but other people's mileage may vary. Personally, I'm waiting to see if that mantainer chick comes in and has a cow again about you "dictating what's sucky and what's not." Hopefully, she'll even make a Nazi remark. >D (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	uniquesnowflake 2003-06-08 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	The most boggling part of her doing that is that she told me I couldn't dictate what was sucky or not in a community made for dictating what is sucky. (Reply to this)(Parent)
