[Galactus]

is it just me or do you find yourself not really caring about posting in the majority of topic on here any more.

Yes, and I think the main reason is that after a while you'll see that many topics keeps coming back over and over again.

 

[Silverstein]

*ahem*

Dude. Relax, it was a joke. Like I've read a lot of Lex's comments around. The guy types "coherently and intelligently". I don't know of you and the comments that I had read of yours were either sarcastic or random. So the point is that if he were anyone else....like you for -example- he might talk about something random. The most rando----*Stopped caring to explain*

Whatever you think it means, champ.

 

[knowsbleed]

You don't know me but you know Lex... because you've read more of his posts than mine. The concept of "knowing" him better than me and therefore him coming across to you as coherent and intelligent is something that is interesting to me... what with this being the internet and all. 1's, 0's, all coming together to make this exchange of thoughts put to message board format... and randomness and sarcasm is thought of as unintelligent.

Too bad you aren't interested enough to explain yourself, I guess we can say that is part of the problem with the Hype these days. It's too much bother for people to form a decent thought... *Stopped caring to explain*

You don't know of me but you know of Lex... because you've read more of his posts than mine.[Umm...Yeah.] The concept of "knowing" him better than me and therefore him coming across to you as coherent and intelligent [What drugs are you on? Every post I remember reading of yours was sarcastic or random. You never even deny this point. And I never said you weren't intelligent. You're taking great leaps into the assumption book. Though you're ignoring the fact that I had expressed half of an answer. Though I did tell you to come up with something.] is something that is interesting to me...[Good. Your reaction was of interest to me.] what with this being the internet and all. 1's, 0's, all coming together to make this exchange of thoughts put to message board format... and randomness and sarcasm is thought of as unintelligent. [It's funny how you found offense in this. How often do you utter the words "What the ****?"]

Too bad you aren't interested enough to explain yourself, I guess we can say that is part of the problem with the Hype these days. It's too much bother for people to form a decent thought... *Stopped caring to explain*[Melodrama. I love it! "GRR!! Silverstein used my name in a joke!! ARGGH He didn't even use a colon-P face!! How dare he! No one uses my name in a silly joking comment lacking hostile or insulting motivation!!! >_< Especially without explaining it to me in a 4-page essay. Woe is the Hype!! Look at how our forum falls! A plague on both your houses..."

If it was offensive to you, I'm sorry. I'll buy you a latte. You posted twice searching for an answer, when I didn't even see the questions (and I was going to delete my subscription to the thread). Instead of PMing me, which seems like an "intelligent" response when seeking an answer. Though I guess you didn't care enough to really find out? I guess THAT is the problem with the Hype these days. It's too much of a bother for people chill out and eat some ice cream.

But now, you're offended again because I don't see a reason to make a thing out of it?


The Hype is becoming increasingly more and more open and "community-based". I think you and others with this "degrading forum" theory would rather go back to the days of geeky 5 page arguments and insulting retorts back and forth for pages on end.

Spoiler

Officially: I don't think you're dumb. I do not dislike you. It was just a joke. Relax.

 

[knowsbleed]

There is zero indication that I am making assumptions. Your assumptions about my assumptions and assuming are... *blah* conducive to be honest. I'm in no way offended... I was just trying to find meaning behind your post and seeing as how the post did not originate in PM... why should I take it there? Probably because I'm not intelligent enough... oops... I'm taking offense again... but not really.

I don't get offended by things at the Hype... fyi, ask around. I just like clarification. If anything, it seems like the beginnings of a tirade are originating on your behalf. But of course you will deny this so I won't even pursue that any further for fear of feelings being caught... *denied*

And no... I do not deny that the majority of my posts might be sarcastic and random, but that is exactly how I am in real life as well so why should it differ from my online self? To tell you the truth, I find I respect someone who can take life lightly enough to show enough intelligence to get their point across while still seeing the humor in every situation... apparently others find that the more serious "coherent and intelligent" route is a better path to take. I don't really see the difference, they can be interchangeable imo.



To further clarify so that you might remain more calm in further posts (if you choose to reply)... I'm not offended, just discussing. Try not to get confused.

Spoiler

btw... thanks for thinking I'm not dumb. It has lifted my spirits to no end.

 

[Silverstein]

Man, you got me knowsbleed. You. Got. ME. You say something ridiculous but then announce that I will deny it. As if to set me up to look like you're correct in your assumptions about me, were I to actually deny it. Man. You really are smart.

I guess the best thing to do would be to just not comment. But I don't want to bring the Hype down! Heaven help us, if forumers don't take the time to respond to every little detail! Think of the children, won't someone PLEASE think of the children?

And no... I do not deny that the majority of my posts might be sarcastic and random, but that is exactly how I am in real life as well so why should it differ from my online self?

For this reason, my original post that you apparently don't understand was made. I was never trying to say "random and sarcastic is dumb", in fact you could say the same about the majority of my posts. From your responses, I feel that this is a huge misunderstanding, and we may even be similar in ways. And I have no problem with admitting that the mis-communication had stemmed from my end.

Come on, I'll get you that latte..

Spoiler

I'm glad I could help. Wouldn't want people thinking you're stupid or anything. I mean with a name like knowsbleed, you've gotta know something.

 

[The Spawn]

Silverstein reminds me of a young me.

I like this guy.

Haven't read the 'argument' in full, but his tactics and offense are interesting.

There you go... assuming again.

Right. Okay. Nothing gets around you, I see. It's almost as if you need to argue.

knowsbleed reminds me of a younger me on Gamefaqs...disorients his oponents.

Its like watching me vs me...my god...I love this.

I've got admirers! Why is it that I'm the offensive bad guy with tactics and plots? Mmmmaybe it's not so complicated, maybe knowsbleed was searching for what wasn't there and I didn't feel like explaining that.

Hypothetically, if that were the case.....then what? Would someone say something like "This is a stupid conversation. Let's get back on topic?" Something like that?

Wow. Gamefaqs? That's insulting. Look, stop instegating, knowsbleed isn't the bad guy either.

Spoiler

Not saying he didn't "start it", if we're going in the topic of being younger.

 

[knowsbleed]

Right. Okay. Nothing gets around you, I see. It's almost as if you need to argue.

The classic rollyeyes... you are pulling out all the stops now. I guess I should have highlighted or bolded... but I'm not going to go back and do that for you because you've pulled out the rollyeyes and that is hurtful beyond hurtful. You've e-damaged me.

BUT... I will let you know that I was referring to your comment about my name and me knowing something. Sorry you got lost there.

I have no opponents here at the Hype. Just people to waste time with... time that could probably be better spent looking at porn.

Oh. I'm sorry, maybe when you hit e-puberty, you won't cry over every scrape.

And anyway, I wasn't lost..You didn't do that one thing that you claim is so important to you: Clarify. Though, with your vast knowledge and intelligence, I mean...I can't really argue, can I?

 

[knowsbleed]

Yes, you were lost. I've found you though so you'll be okay... maybe when you get some vast knowledge and intelligence like me... you'll recognize some of the blatant sarcasm that is thrown right in front of your face.

I think we all missed the real hero here.

I was not even in the fight yet I am said to be a coherently and intelligently put together poster.

Oh now that is cool to not even be around when the fight happened and get an ego boost too!

Go me

Hey Rain.

I'm Andy

Did you get that rash sorted out?

hullo andy,

not quite yet but i'm still working at it.

 

[Ring Deacon]

I don't know. It could have a lot to do with age, but I think it just may be that you can only go throught the same thread themes so many times before you stop careing. Nothing against new members but they haven't been around long enough to know what has been or hasn't been a topic before. I lurked here for almost two years before I became an offical member and I still don't know what has been talked about before I joined last year. I don't post much myself because there is not to much that I have seen that makes me want to post 20 times a day. Is it lack of intrest in what I see? I am not sure. Maybe it is both my age and intrests now. I used to post at this one wrestling board 30 times a day until it closed. It was hard to move on to a new site where I know hardly anyone as well as I knew those from the last site. Since then I just haven't goten into posting much any more. Nothing against anyone here.

Maybe you just need to find something else to do with your time. There was once a world with out internet, what did we do for fun then? It is hard to even remember sometimes.

Did Silverstein and Knowsbleed, two fairly non-notable folk, just fight fer like... a full page over **** all?

[Batman15]

Im not an oldbie, i know, but I did post a lot, every day, at one point. I guess it stopped once I stopped really caring.. I mean Batman begins had come out.. nothing really interesting was going on in the "community".. I was growing up, stopped caring about comics on a regular basis.. only came back to check on TDK and I dunno waste some time on here..
