This thread - Going to hell.


The Hype Encyclopedia: A thread dedicated to the history of the SHH message board that started out informative but went to hell in a few short pages as most SHH threads tend to do.
 
Lando needs a mention.

Lando - Desperate attempt by Noir to get even MORE attention to himself. Even gave out his own address and had a crush on himself. This is what we call an "attention ****e" technique - someone who makes a new username only for the point of getting people to notice him.
 
Mr. Peg: The name given by longtime HYPE mod Hollow Wood Director to a series of supposedly "horrific" top-secret photos he claimed to have in his possession back around October of 2002. HWD started a thread describing the photos as being taken from a secret government experiment and asking for volunteers to sign a "disclaimer" absolving him and SHH of all responsibility if he were to PM this series of photos, which he claimed could result in hallucinations and paranoia after viewing them (somewhat similar to the concept seen in the then-current films The Ring, and Fear Dot Com). Several deadlines to send the PM's to the interested parties came and went, and after HWD went missing from the HYPE boards for a while there were frustrated questions as to what the point of the whole thing was -- a failed experiment? A drawn-out prank with no punchline? No one except the poster Speedin' Bullet ever claimed that they received the "Mr. Peg" pictures, and Speedin' Bullet made numerous rambling posts claiming to have seen hallucinations and even being arrested for attempting to attack a policeman with a sword. HWD later claimed to have erased the photos from his hard drive, and after the original Mr. Peg thread was finally locked to keep curious newbies from bumping it, that was that.
While HWD's ultimate motives in the Mr. Peg incident have never been revealed, the name "Mr. Peg" pops up every now and then as a synonym for some imaginary horrible thing whose bark is worse than its bite.

Wow. Again, hard to believe people bought into that.
 
Yes...it was nothing. That's why both threads those links went to were deleted. Both of them. To stop "newbies" from asking questions. Right. They're stoping questions alright, the kind like I'm asking.
 
Call You A Jerk - While seeming like an insult, calling someone a jerk on the Hype is actually sort of a badge of honor. Particularly if you tell someone beforehand that you're going to call them a jerk. This was started by Hype member Ghostrider87, who when faced with a slight dig at him or insult from someone else, GR87 would threaten to "call you a jerk", which he did on several occasions. Since then, a number of Hypesters have picked up on this threat, and they too have carried it out many times.
 
Ignorant - [ig-ner-uh

Often used in the Political Forum, this word has been used by many to refer to the opposing Political Ideology or Political Party. It has become one of the most offensive words to use against another Poster. It's use often leads to a banning of the offending Poster.

The word's Real World Definition is "lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact" and can be used correctly, but the use on the Hype can lead to dire consequences. Use at your own Risk.
 
Derivative - Used in lieu of actual conversation to debase an opposing viewpoint....a good majority of its users are pretentious in nature and have no grasp of the actual meaning of the word....in short, they use it to sound smarter than they really are.

The actual definition is either 1. a chemical substance related structurally to another substance and theoretically derivable from it b: a substance that can be made from another substance

or

2. a contract or security that derives its value from that of an underlying asset (as another security) or from the value of a rate (as of interest or currency exchange) or index of asset value (as a stock index)
 
I agree, but I do not volunteer.

Drakking

Drak - ing (v) to drak, drakked

1. The act of openly supporting something but offering no support.

2. The act of having one leg. :dry:
