All the entries I collected that wasn't on the first post.
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 -

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.
Deathlok2001 was a former Hype member, who during the SHH fantasy football league of '06, proclaimed to all he was going to "lay teh smackdown!" on all other Hype fantasy teams. He was also of the mind that the Arizona Cardinals were going to "lay teh smackdown" on all other NFL teams that year. He also was an avid crossdresser, and enjoyed laminate flooring. He was eventually banned for trolling, and general dumbassery.
Update:
Political Forum: Forum existing only briefly during the summer of 2004.It was created to keep political discussions out of the Community boards,but was eventually deleted in early fall of that year. It is speculated that the reason behind the deletion was because the absence of political threads left community with mostly spam. Made its triumphant return on January 8th, 2008.
The Hype Name Change Revolution - The revolution sparked Mee's Hype News story about "numberinname" (or numberer) posters, as well as a conflict between Erzengel and cmill216. Because of Mee's highly successful and controversial news story, and Erz's harsh discrimination (coined as R4cism) against cmill216 and all other posters of number, cmill216 started the thread titled "NumbersInName Prejudice is Wrong." cmill216 decided to stand as the leader for the "numbersinname" posters against intense bigotry, racism, and oppression from "non-numbered" posters. Originally thought of as people with a lack of imagination, cmill216 gave them the mentality of such reasons as "these numbers are important to me." This issue was in long debate in the thread "NumbersInName Prejudice is Wrong," thus sparking buzz all over the Hype Community.
cmill216's never ending leadership and determination gave (the newly appointed Administrator) DOG LIPS an idea. This started a chain of events which eventually led to (the other newly appointed Administrator) Hunter Rider being willing to share the intense task of name changing with DOG LIPS. Thus, cmill216 inadvertently and successfully changed the Hype's policy on name changes forever. Once viewed as being forbidden, "numberinname" as well as any other poster now have one last chance to undo their mistake, and change their identity. In the end, cmill216 not only led to the revolution of "numberinname" posters, but also to all who wanted to change their names. cmill216 became a SHH Moderator, and changed his name to Cmill216.
R4cism - the term coined by cmill216, derived from Erzengel's discrimination against posters of number.
DHasselhoffLover - Formerly known as the moderator Lightning Strykez, the name change was the idea of the newly appointed Hype moderator, Kel. The idea was carried out by the newly appointed administrators, DOG LIPS and Hunter Rider. DHL was quoted as being extremely unhappy at the tyranny of the administrators, perhaps a bad joke gone wrong in some posters' eyes. DHL has since started a thread, revolting against DOG LIPS and Hunter Rider. Whether the change will be reversed or not is still shrouded in mystery.
Superhero Hype Creepiest Poster Competition - A tournament started by Asteroid-Man to determine who is the creepiest poster of The Hype. Unfortunately, there was not a nomination period and most posters involved in the tournament were not creepy at all, but seemed to be just posters who have recently interacted with Asteroid-Man. The tournament had no clear qualifications for creepy, and seemed to be set up to declare Asteroid-Man the winner. In the end it was an unprecedented failure.
Eternal Flame - An endless source of fire controlled by Hype user Immortalfire. He discovered it in the mountains of North Carolina while on a camping trip, and it became one with him, granting him amazing abilites concerning fire. It is capable of many things, including incinerating any subtance, and even creating words or images out of fire. It was long sought by The Exalted, who wanted it for it's immense power. But he was never able to come up with a plan for obtaining the Flame. It is thought that the name "Immortalfire" is given to anyone that controls the Flame.
CS or
ComingSoon: Often referred to as our "sister boards". The forums on ComingSoon
http://forums.comingsoon.net/ deal more with movies than we do here. However, when the Hype is down (which thankfully has occurred less frequently of late) most members of the Hype do a temporary migration to the CS boards.
New Entry:
Superhero Hype Fantasy Football League (SHHFFL) - The fantasy football league of Superhero Hype. Founded by Malice currently in its fifth season, commissioners include: Malice, Daisy, and Themanofbat. It is ran through Yahoo Fantasy Football. The current reigning champions are The Mindless Minions coached by Mee. The current commissioner is Themanofbat.
Concerned Mom: Brainchild of Mee, was used in a thread made by Assassin to coax Ghostrider87 to post in it. Concerned Mom represented GR's real-life mother. This poster was commenting on "his fine artwork," and such, telling certain Hypesters to stop mocking and insulting her son. Great times were had by all, until Dew k. Mosi did an IP check, and temporarily perma-banned Mee. Mee's ban was lifted a day later, after much protest from several Hypesters, including farmerfran. An hour or so after the Concerned Mom fiasco, the thread was closed and soon deleted. Dew is reported to have given Mee a screencap of his first post under the Concerned Mom name.
J Alba's Lover - True to his username, he's a huge fan of everything Jessica Alba.
He is known for his "outbursts" when angered about people saying anything negative about him, or Jessica Alba. This usually has a mod admonishing everyone but temporary banning JAL for his actions.
He has spoken in the past about a past "love" whom he slowed danced with and shared his first kiss. He later alleges that this was a 14 year old Jessica Alba. While many do not believe it, he refuses to provide any proof because people would still not believe him.
Early on JAL use to post anything about Alba do to constant ridicule by the posters of SHH. However, because most of the posters have moved on from SHH, he has found newer, younger posters who encourage his obssessive, persona towards Jessica Alba.
Dancing Spider-Man will Make You Gay: A bit of a web phenomenom that spread like wildfire for a while.

LordSnipe: Notable poster in the Batman forums, especially prior to the theatrical release of Batman Begins. Along with Clerk, popularized the term Bale Dammit!!!
Was made the mod of the Batman forums during the turbulent months leading up to Batman Begins's release. Also runs
www.thebatsquad.net.
Clerk: Along with Snipe, creator of the phrase Bale Dammit!!!
Also known for his comics of movies done in superb stick figure style.
Taiwarriorz (Updated) - Taiwarriorz is a poster at the hype who is distinctly Southern in both appearance and habits. However his true quirks lay elsewhere. Taiwarriorz came upon the Hype last year and often is known for a gimmicky posting style with bad grammatical and spelling errors. Most noticably is his pension for the word "geuax" in place of "go". He also types very phenetically, and is known to use slang, exposition and "accent" in expressing what he has to say. Another particularity is his "name dropping": meaning he will mention several of his friends, acquintances and friends of friends in telling stories. He is incredibly arrogant, and most of these "gimmicks" stem from that.
"I can Squat 550" - Taiwarriorz claimed he could squat 550lbs, which would've broken currently held High School records. Ignoring the fact that all his photos revealed a moderately out of shape teen with a beer gut, he continued to insist this fact even giving ShadowBoxing his high school coaches number to verify his claim. ShadowBoxing didn't call his school, but said he did, inflating Tai's numbers to 600lbs. Tai admitted that, yes, he could Squat 600 lbs and was being modest. ShadowBoxing then told him he never called the school, and simply increased the number because "he knew he'd admit to anything so long as it inflated his ego".
"The Hunting and Fishing Thread" - This is probably Tai's most popular thread. It was the site of events described above and his personal stomping ground. Recently Taiwarriorz began bragging again in this thread, this time about working on an "oil referie" (Oil Refinery). Needless to say, no one who has a job that doesn't involve working endless hours as an oil refinery grunt, was impressed.
"National Day of Repentence" - Taiwarriorz, again appearing to be pulling information out of his ass, started the "National Day of Repentence" thread. He claimed in it there would be a National Day of repenting one's sins. He said something about his preacher telling him about a committee getting together and talking with Bush - either way it was all a bunch of bullsh**, you don't have to know. It again became a "Politics v Religion" thread. Taiwarriorz, for some reason, put the word "spoiler" in the thread title. He also apparently beganing PMing several posters, including Toven, with hate mail and threats. How very Christian.
Hype Wormhole -
n. - An very occasional (as of late) phenomenon when a post made by a specific poster is transported in front of a post, which was technically after it. When this takes place, a post that was clearly a response is put in front of the post that was quoted, thus, giving the poster(s) the feeling of "WTF?"

*Superhero Hype Awards 2012: D*** of the Year:
FilmNerdJamie got the biggest amount of votes to receive that award, some pointed to threads showing why this guy deserves this award. Things went too far and thread was renamed "Villain"
Dreadstar (Formerly Deathlok2001) - A user who is infamously known for his very unusual stories in the relationship thread. It all started when he was he bragging about his sexual relationship with "Fling Girl" while worrying about his potential ruin the situation. Meanwhile, he was also seeking advice about bedding "comic girl", a 19 year old girl who was 30 years younger than him after they dry humped in a car (with the driver driving). Amidst denials of being a date rapist and a creep, it was discovered that he was Deathlok2001, a previously banned user, and was banned once again.
Memphis Slim (Formerly known as CellDog) - A banned user who was known for his racism and homophobia. He was also known for his controversial views in the Religion thread. After he was banned, a "
Should we Water Board CellDog to Save Lives" thread showed up.
JustABill vs. Cory Deathmatch thread - A now infamous deathmatch thread that got so bad it was shutdown early and deleted from the Hype. JustABill came into this Deathmatch expecting an easy win until Cory called upon the Batboards (and The Tusi) to even the Deathmatch. Things got heated between Bill and the Batboards, as Bill felt that, being a community mainstay, angry at the Batboards for influencing a comminity forum event. Eventually relations between the Tusians and Cory also soured in the same thread. The mods came in, and things got worse as accusations of cheating for both sides erupted. After more mudslinging and many insults, the thread ended in a 56-56 tie and the thread was deleted. This lead to the Wildcard between Bill, Cory, Darthphere, Leo, Superferret, and Poopdeckpenispa which ended up being a disappointment numbers wise. This event also lead to more Batboards posters posting in the other parts of the Hype after the release of The Dark Knight Rises.
JAL - A banned user who, in addition to to being one of three posters to have over 100,000 posts, was infamously known for his antics, mostly dealing with his obsession with Jessica Alba. One of his stories included him getting turned away by Alba, and then trying to sneak in to see her. When her he was thrown out by security, he spat on and kicked a homeless man. He also had a Maury-like situation at work where he thought he got a girl pregnant. He later changed his name to The Apatow Crew and was banned after his 10th infraction.
HowardStark - a previously banned poster who, under this name, briefly ran tournament threads on the hype. Looking to switch his username again, he faked a stroke, then a tumor, and then his death while having his "cousin" DarthQuiGon (who was really HowardStark under a different username tell the users in his "hottest female celebrity tournament" thread all of these things. After much sympathy was given, it was revealed by C. lee that both DarthQuiGon, HowardStark, and other other troll accounts were all the same person and that DarthQuiGon was an attempt for Howard to change his username. All accounts are currently banned.
The Great Raimi War of 2010 - In the second half of 2010 there were two types of Sam Raimi threads: The "I loved Sam Raimi's Spider-Man thread" and the "I hated Sam Raimi's Spider-Man" thread. While the Raimi haters thread was in The Spider-Man trilogy forums, the Raimi lovers thread was in the reboot forums. One day, several posters from the Raimi haters thread (led by NinjaCarm, a notorious Raimi hater) went into the Raimi lovers thread and pointed it out along with trolling Raimi lovers thread. This led to months of arguments and trolling in each others threads until a mod finally noticed and place the Raimi lovers thread in the Spider-Man trilogy section. Most of the war is in
this thread.
