My first try!
Ragnarok Online: an insanely popular MMORPG in Asia that's hit American shores and made its own splash. Populated by an audience of all ages, people tend to see only the idiots that run around begging for money, scamming, and causing a general ruckus.

Forums for RO fans and players are not limited to these aforesaid types, even if there are a lot of good people on it as well. I'm a mod at one in particular called RO-World.

Enter Outrespective, self-designated RO-World forum nanny. (Or "God," if you want to depend on his self-edited forum title.)

Outrespective has this annoying habit of correctly peoples' behaviors in the General forum by being a hypocrite to do it. "These threads are TRASH," he exclaims over and over again, hoping that the administrators will grant him mod-hood because he's such a little snitch. Finally, he decided to make his own off-topic, whining post on the subject in the General forum. Smart.

People jump on him about it. He can't practice what he preaches! Outrespective valiantly defends himself with faulty logic.

A moderator (Leon) comes along and moves it to its proper place. An obligatory PWNED picture follows as a mockery of Outrespective's hate of "replying to threads with only pictures."

Outrespective, hurt, lashes back at Leon. "Are you the thread dictator?" (Regis makes a cameo appearance afterward.)

Everyone informs him that Leon is a moderator. Outrespective counters witlessly and wonders, "Since when was Leon a mod?" Again, every informs him that Leon has been a moderator for a long while.

Bluemeep, resident artist that posts comics in flaming threads, puts up this little gem:



The smoke clears. Everything seems over. (For now.)

Wow. I knew my beloved iRO could bring the wank when it wanted to. (The number of heal-beggers/pissy priests shoulda made it obvious. ... I wonder if this guy plays a priest? Haha... XD)
Oh, and I ♥ your icon.

Haha, you should check out www.ro-world.com's forums. There's a lot of stuff I could have wanked, but I took this one in particular because it was so clean and stereotypical of the worst. XD

Thanks! Ken is awesome. ^^ (I'd generate a code for you, by the way, but my account isn't a week old yet.)

I try to avoid RO forums, for the most part, because it's so obvious they're gonna bring teh wank. ...and teh stupid. Er, or not. Whatever, RO wank is easy as all get-out to find. (Like the people who think Gravity is TEH EVIL and jeeeez, how DARE they not have our servers up to date with kRO? FREE HEALING/2x DROP RATES ARE NOT ENOUGH!!11)

Ken's awesome; his voice actress is, uh, even MORE awesome. Mmm, Paku Romi. I desperately want to rewatch 02 now...

Yeah, it really is. I mean, even at the official BBS there are just these wanktastic posts -- but it's hard to get the right HTML for whatever post you want to point out to people. Sad. RO-World is bad a times, seeing as it's one of the larger fansites, but I think the intelligent people there are awesome.

Yes, I adore Paku Romi. I think I'll go dig up my 02 tapes.

HTML? @.@ URL, I meant!

(Also an excuse to show off my other Digimon 02 icon.)

Darn you and your 02 tapes. Darn you. Wish I still had some--ANY--of that series in Japanese. Bah. Your icons, by the way--v. v. amusing. XD

and, to be, uh, on-topic or something: RO players probably wank almost as much as the HP fandom. ...or am I the only one who thinks that? The amount of people who bitch and moan, and the people who go "wtf shut up at least you get to play!"... and the people who argue about just how much archers suck/0wn... and the people who go "555 I play on a free server =3="--then get that server shut down because they mentioned it...

Hahahaha, I loved that. Thank you. :D .. But yes, the RO fandom is just as wanky as the HP fandom, though it's a lot harder to "get with it" if you've never played RO and experienced the community for yourself.

Yes, I adore my 02 tapes. *hugs them* And thank you for the comment on my icons. A little Photoshop magic, and kapow!

*chimes in to mention her 02 love, hugs her Japanese 02 tapes, runs back to lurkdom*
