Post Count = Intelliagences

[Biz_R_0]

Just saying, I'm fine with the image + 2 lines of text format. I just hate how redditors take it as an invitation to run whatever someone does that with into the ground.

 

[himemiya]

Don't him make a tdlr post with big words cause he will do it.

 

[Frostwraith]

and I actually am not on Reddit nor 4chan. but I must admit some people are quick to judge others based on trivialties such as occasionally posting a meme pictures. =P

 

[Teran]

Dude it's not even Reddit that's the worst though, it's **** like FunnyJunk and 9gag that have totally disemboweled the humorous body of the internet.

 

[Frostwraith]

^ someone speaks the truth. a joke is humorous and funny. an overused joke is not.

 

[Teran]

Reddit is still totally **** though, don't get me wrong.

 

[Biz_R_0]

Funnyjunk and 9gag just rehost stuff, albeit they're still awful for encouraging it. The actual people who make those abortions are reddit (and even then, they're just dead watered-down 4chan jokes).

 

[Falconv1.0]

Holy **** it doesn't matter if it's Reddit or 4chan, it's not acceptable. Frostwraith and anyone else posting that awful ****, you're not being funny or clever, holy ****.

Why is this thread so good?

 

[Teran]

It's funny because 4chan is just a dead watered down version of its previous self.

 

[Biz_R_0]

/v/irgin, I take it?

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

It's not the use of image macros, it's the unnecessary use with excessively long text etc that totally ruin it.

The whole point of a picture is that it speaks 1000 ****in words. If you're having to write a goddamn novella to get the context of the image across, you are failing at using a goddamn image.

You reply with an image as either a physical reaction which is then followed by what you have to say, or you post it with a short punchline that gets across everything that is necessary.

Images need that single line of text. Most images are just open to too much interpretation to the point of one doens't even know the meaning behind posting it. However, some get the point across super clearly without the added text.

 

[Falconv1.0]

/v/irgin, I take it?

Someone explain the joke here to me, please. Who is it even aimed at? Is this even real life?

 

[Biz_R_0]

That's the name for /v/ regulars. It's the video game (lol) board on 4chan. I said that because that's the kind of crap they say all the time.

 

[Teran]

No /v/ is full of idiots trying to act smart instead of idiots embracing their idiocy.

I just don't go on 4chan, I mean, that's why I talk about it because it's so infested with genpop that it's just not worth going to anymore, whereas before I wouldn't talk about 4chan or its jokes for the sole reason that it would encourage lamebirds to roll in.

 

[Falconv1.0]

That's the name for /v/ regulars. It's the video game (lol) board on 4chan. I said that because that's the kind of crap they say all the time.

So you're admitting to just regurgitating a dumb 4chan meme.

What a great way to add to the conversation.

**** I feel bad for Jam.

 

[deepseadiva]

The core of the matter is that anyone who posts on the internet is an awful person.

Reddit is still totally **** though, don't get me wrong.

I like Reddit! The majority is gross, but the more specific subreddits have good content. The Smash reddit is pretty sweet, at least.

 

[Biz_R_0]

@Teran The only board I ever go on is /co/, every other board is either based around stuff I don't care about or is garbage (/v/, /a/).

@Falcon so we're just calling any commonly used word on some place a "meme"? Also, who's Jam?

@Meno I agree, although the majority is still the grand majority of reddit. Also, the Smash sub is alright. There's not that much Brawl content, and it used to just be Melee + Brawl rants until about a year ago.

 

[Teran]

Images need that single line of text. Most images are just open to too much interpretation to the point of one doens't even know the meaning behind posting it. However, some get the point across super clearly without the added text.

Not really, a well utilised image can convey everything perfectly. Also leaving room for interpretation often sweetens the joke, if you're not a pleb.

**** I feel bad for Jam.

Omg Falcon stop sucking up to Teran cuz he's mod owait **** where did I go wrong in life?

I like Reddit! The majority is gross, but the more specific subreddits have good content. The Smash reddit is pretty sweet, at least.

Outside of the people I find the site just intolerable in terms of layout and interface.

le epik burn bro!! :^)

I for one literally enjoy using these cancerous memes and beating them absolutely to death. The amount of butthurt they can spawn is immense, ironically or unironically.

 

[Falconv1.0]

@Falcon so we're just calling any commonly used word on some place a "meme"?

You just defined a meme, so yes. Memes can be images, phrases, words, etc. A commonly used word made up on 4chan is absolutely a meme.

What the ****?

 

[Biz_R_0]

I actually like their layout, however the voting system is awful and there shouldn't be default subs (especially no stuff like r/atheism).

 

[Zatchiel]

Fastest spawn of a tangent argument I've ever witnessed.

The internet was best when everyone was all like ROMS AND WAREZ, and your computer would make funny noises when connecting to the internet.

Then broadband came and made it easier and easier for people to navigate the dubyadubyadubya

No it wasn't, it was just funnier because it was newer. But not -better-.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Xeylode's "Images need that single line of text. Most images are just open to too much interpretation to the point of one doens't even know the meaning behind posting it." is to Teran's "Not really".

And Xeylode's "However, some get the point across super clearly without the added text." is to Teran's "a well utilised image can convey everything perfectly."

Wait, in essence we admitted to the latter half of our points conveying the same message. Don't confuse me like that.

Then broadband came and made it easier and easier for people to navigate the dubyadubyadubya

I think you have given me a good idea of where the downfall of the internet began.

 

[Teran]

No it wasn't, it was just funnier because it was newer. But not -better-.

You wouldn't know, the milk from your mother's **** was still fresh on your face at this time.

 

[Biz_R_0]

You just defined a meme, so yes. Memes can be images, phrases, words, etc. A commonly used word made up on 4chan is absolutely a meme.

I never defined a meme. If you want me to, here it is; a meme, in this context, is a joke that's been used so many times that now it's just parroted for guaranteed laughs (ex. over 9000, the cake is a lie) or a formula that's barely changed that's used solely because it's popular and will get guaranteed laughs (ex. Fry "not sure if", condescending Wonka). "/v/irgin" is just kind of an easier way of saying "someone that goes on /v/" (although it was made as a self-deprecating joke), just as "smasher" is a shorter way of saying someone that plays Smash Bros. competitively and "redditor" is a shorter way of saying everything that's wrong in the world.

You think a meme has to be a joke for "guaranteed laughs"?

Could you ****ing **** the original meaning of the concept any harder?

 

[Jim Morrison]

a meme is something posted on 9gag and if it's a recognizable face :^)

 

[Teran]

I remember when XD was just another way of emoting.

In fact I still use it because I think of it in the original context so whatevs ma neezy.

 

[Biz_R_0]

@Falcon "in this context". Which was the context of being a joke.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

What other meaning is there in XD other than a pictorial image of lol?

 

[Jim Morrison]

lel xDD you must be new here XD!!!

 

[Teran]

@Falcon "in this context". Which was the context of being a joke.

Something isn't quite right he- AHA!

@Falcon

"IN THIS CONTEXT". Which was the context of the context that IS, this context..

You'll see that it was a joke.

See ya see Falcon, in this context there's no room for error, because see ya see Falcon, I'm the man in this context, the greatest context of all.

You're welcome.

The #1 sign that you're a noob is thinking that smash blue is the best forum skin.

Also very true.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

;-; But I use the "XD" emoticon a lot.. probably type that one the most of all... Never THAT much though.

All of these places you guys speak of I have never stepped into. Used to have a girlfriend who regurgitated all of such things on the internet on a daily basis. It was hard to stand honestly. This is coming from a person who can appreciate a meme in or outside of the internet on occasion.

 

[himemiya]

Are you guys having a +1 day?

 

[Jimnymebob]

What happened to that awful Smash Blue theme?
I thought it used to have a blue BG, but it's showing up black for me.
It'd look pretty nice too if it wasn't for the fact it looks terrible.

^^^ +1 days... Those were fun times.
