[Lightning Strykez!]

I don't think sex was even on my radar at 15.

You were so sheltered.

 

[AndThePickles]

It was on my radar, I just wasn't having it yet.

[marx]Hype! 'Rumor Mill' Question[/marx]


Tell us why you hate MySpace...

"Well, what is it today? More spelunking?"

I see what you guys did there.

From knowsbleed: Why do you think The Hype has changed so much in just a few short years. Circa '04-'05, the Community and different sections of the Hype were very interesting forums to post, and now it's sort of... neutered. Why has moderation cracked down so so very much on aspects that were, in the past, overlooked as being said for the sake of... *OMG*... a good laugh?

Hmmm, good question. I think there are a number of reasons.

1.) The staff has gotten much larger so threads are more frequently policed and monitored.

2.) We also have a lot more female moderators and as such it's no longer a mostly "boys club" (Dew was more understanding/liberal with the lot of you but even she had her limits of toleration of silliness). Threads like "Hot Thickie Women" (or whatever it's called these days) are simply not going to sit well with the female moderators because those threads objectify women, exploit them and cast them in a trashy, disrespectful light. Sooo..those threads--and their subsequent creators--are gonna get heavy focus from the female moderators. Us male mods may not be as bothered by them because we appreciate the female form. But we are only a segment of the Hype Population--we have a lot of girls posting here too. Not saying I agree with it (it's basically an online locker room for male Hypesters), but I do understand it. For example, if I was a more conservative mod and saw a bunch of female Hypesters posting half-nekkid men and it offended my sense of taste and ettiquette I'd crack down on it too. [BLACKOUT]However, since I am often without a shirt myself in real life I really have no room to talk.[/BLACKOUT]

3.) The Hype Secret Wars of 2005-2007 (ya know, the one between the users and mods that resulted in many jumping ship and the creation of LSP) I think had a huge impact on the culture here--as well as the overall morale. Not necessarily better or worse, but I think it made a huge impact. If you subtract certain eccentric and colorful posters here from the equation you're left with a very different site. Again, not saying the results are better or worse (although I miss a number of them)--it's just a different combination of personalities here now. When that all went down there was so many conflicts, and cries of bloody war on both sides...everyone was calling foul. So as a result, people left and there were a lot of hurt feelings and frayed nerves I think...whether some choose to admit it or not.

4.) Finally, I think that when a number of users started really attacking the moderation here (and I know that there were some interesting judgement calls made that warranted some--though not all--of the uproar) some of the mods became a lot more cognizant of being uber-fair. Not that they weren't in the past, but the sensitivity was so much more heightened than before. For example, look at how a police force reacts when it comes under fire/criticiscm from the media or taxpayers who accuse them of foul play or political moves. Now they have to go above and beyond to make sure all future "T"s are crossed and "I"s are dotted. Hence the unbelievably expanded rules, infractions systems, and all the other stuff that was put in place to prove that we are all about being fair--and to check moderator's behavior.

So I guess the moral of the story is: Kids, be careful what you users wish for--you might just get it and a whole lot of other stuff you don't want. "Freedom" comes at a price.

I hope that answers your question; that's just the way I see it.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Yay, Little Mermaid is your favorite!

I once beat the ass of a guy that said that men who love Little Mermaid were fgts. Literally. We were in a bar. I was like, "Who's the fgt now?"

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

i know you're not supposed to post PM's, but if they're ok with the questions being posted anonymously, i'm all for it.

Some of them are a bit too racy. I'll think about it. I'm not even sure I want to go there.

but as Oprah, of course, you must PM who these questions derive from

LAWL, you just being no-say.

 

[AndThePickles]

I once beat the ass of a guy that said that men who love Little Mermaid were fgts. Literally. We were in a bar. I was like, "Who's the fgt now?"

I'm not usually one for violence, but that's pretty effin awesome. The Little Mermaid is the best.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

From Comic Chick:

When you say your time on the hype is limited, do you mean as a mod or by posting here completely?

Likely my future exit will be "completely". It's just getting to that point I think for me. I've been here a long time...longer than any other forum I've been a part of. Which shows how much I love Mirko & Co. and all of you knuckleheads. But yeah...in Hype Years, I'm getting kinda elderly. Besides, it's not like Marvel is kicking out any films based on my No. 1 characters (X-Men or Fantastic Four) anytime soon. So my whole original focus in joining here has significantly changed. My passion is waning--not for the SHH itself, but for the subject matter it manages these days. I mean, I love Iron Man and Thor, and all that but...meh.

Joey Freefall, Jaguarr and the other Hype Hologram Jedi Masters are calling me to take my place alongside them.

i would miss you!

I'd miss you too. :heart:

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I'm not usually one for violence, but that's pretty effin awesome. The Little Mermaid is the best.

I was under the influence though too. One of the very few times I've ever gotten drunk (which I why I don't drink hardly at all). It brings out the Dark Phoenix in me...my eyes go all black/enlarged/shiny and my breath starts to really stink.

 

[-Arya-]

But..but...the Batman 3 hype.

From Marx:

Hype! 'Rumor Mill' Question

Is it true that you once trained to become a professional wrestler?

To become a professional? No. But I did wrestle in High School and College. I did all of the sports. Varsity all the way.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

From Crashnburn:

do you enjoy anime at all? if so, which one(s)?

No. Not really.

what is one of the moments that defined your life?
The moment I described earlier with my father in the parking lot.

what is your fav website that you frequent?....besides SHH!
Hmm, Politicos probably.

Thanks for the questions.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

From Marx:

Do you enjoy hiking, camping, and caving?
I like hiking, it's great for exercise. But I don't do camping, caving or anything that calls for me to sleep outside where beetles and s*** can crawl up my nostrils or to s*** in a hole and cover it up with dirt.

I am far too bourgeious (sp?) for that.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

From knowsbleed:


Tell us why you hate MySpace...

Who said I hate Myspace?

 

[AndThePickles]

Aw, I know why he asked that question.

You're really going to make me specify the "incident"?


C'mon... STORYTIME!

 

[Hobgoblin]

The question that has plagued man since the beginning: boobs or butt?

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

From The Immortal!:

Hmmmm....

Charlize Theron or Stephen Dorff, LS? (Better actor, better looking, better hair, better voice, etc)

I'd do them both. Together.


How fast could you run a 40 in High School or college?

Faster than lightning.

Fav comic book of all-time?
The Uncanny X-Men circa the 1980s when the new team was formed with Collossus, Storm, Wolverine, etc. The Phoenix saga and "God Loves, Man Kills" are among my favorite arcs of all time.

 

[Paradoxium]

My question must be like when a guitar string snaps t:

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I gots your pm...

t:


Can you find "x > 3" such that "ln(x) < x^(0.1)" ?

Oh phuck naw. It is way too late at night to tackle an equation like that. Ask me something silly and shallow like...boobs or butt? Ya know, fluff stuff. LOL

*winks at Demo*

 

[ComicChick]

what weight class did you wrestle in?

did you ever win any awards?
