"I misread the title as _____________________"
Okay. Who gives a fuck?
I once thought "'Jay and Silent Bob Get a Robot" was filming in February. And I still think my title is better.
"I misread the title as _____________________"
Okay. Who gives a fuck?
There's a thread about an ex WWE star found dead and the second comment is ... I thought it said x person with no comment on the actual topic. I can't think of a more " who cares" time to say that.I get it. I think, like KojiKnight said, it was frowned upon to really talk about GAF in the beginning. I think it became sort of a fun injoke of sorts where we wouldn't even name GAF as a way of sort of saying, "GAF sucks so let's not even call it by it's name" Plus a lot of us are dorks and calling it the old place or the old country just adds a flair to it that amuses some of us. Sorry.
Okay, now this I don't get. You telling me you never misread a thread title that made you do a double take? Sometimes it can be funny or (rarely) scary, and I think when people mention it, it's usually out of curiosity if someone read it that way as well. It happens.

Here's one, can we retire this one:
Someone makes new thread about some frightening new racist development in the rise of white supremacy and neo-nazis
Someone then always drive by posts "I did nazi that coming"
pls stop. Contribute something or at least come up with your own joke
Agree with this one. There's little wiggle room at all and while I don't post about it as I have nil interest in that area of subject, the dog-piling on people on the strangest things is kind of crazy.On the Etc side: It's super left-leaning and even people who are merely mostly left are gonna feel shouted down at times.
eh you're cool I guess
People that say passive agressive shit and then try and soften it with a haha, haha.
That's a general internet peeve tho
Passive aggressive people, but that's an internet problem In general. Just say what you want to say and own up to it.
Source?Jumping off this, when people ask for a 'Source? ' over the most meaningless things.
"Yeah, I went out last night with some friends."
"Oh that's interesting. Source?"
Admit it, you did it on purpose, right? :@People putting periods at the end of their thread title literally drive me nuts
This and the "let's try to trigger x user dogpiling on him until he gets himself banned"
People not reading the OP; specifically in discussion threads. If someone makes a topic and posts a long OP and you can't be bothered to read it get off the fucking discussion board. Should honestly be banned after multiple offenses.
The small hairs from the back of my hair stood up as I read that like some visceral response to one too many triggers put together.Yikes. I don't think this thread was made in good faith.
This ain't it, chief. Oof.
Or the absolute denial of many when someone says this place isn't as fun as it could be.The constant negativity. Everything sucks according to Resetera.
I have my pet peeves with Era but one of the funniest, most enjoyable, wholesome, and fascinatingly dumb threads I've seen here was one about some very American dude who was complaining about his gf or wife forgetting to add the sauce from the taco kit for his hard shelled tacos. Cue walls and pages of people responding in the funniest ways possible with variants of "what the fuck is a taco kit" "your mistake was eating tacos from a taco kit" "hard shelled tacos? Taco kits? You deserve each other".Food threads. It's like people don't realize folks in different parts of the world enjoy / have access to different things. It's all good. No need to get into a pissing contest / putting down another country / region's food.
People who use being anti-capitalist, a noble pursuit, as an excuse to just be an asshole.
Neither of these points are particularly accurate, FyreWulff, so i'd like to clarify a few things. For titles, users always have a degree of control over the threads they create, if they'd like a title change it's a very easy process that is little extra work for the creator or the moderation team. We did have a feature for 2.0 that allowed users to edit thread titles within a small window after creation, allowing them to correct any mistakes or tighten up or update the title if needed. This was unfortunately not ready to be implemented for the 2.0 launch, but we may have more to discuss on a feature like this down the road.The stuff that's here because GAF did it.
- Non editable thread titles - literally every other forum I've used on the internet has allowed thread titles to be edited. Only GAF was the exception, for stupid reasons made by that site's admin. The feature is disabled here because .. it was disabled on GAF.
- Custom user titles - once again, was/is a thing every other forum supports, except for GAF, and Era copied it because GAF did it. It was used to bully users on GAF via undocumented administrator usage, it's used for the same purpose here. At no point should anyone other than the user be able to attach a cosmetic change to anyone's profile, especially when it's undocumented who did it, without their consent or control.
This literally never happens. Show me one time when this has happened.Why do people ask for proof in a thread and then never respond when said proof is provided?
I try to do my part ):
Admit it, you did it on purpose, right? :@
Not putting a period at the end of your post.
Because it's worse!
When People Post Their Thread Titles Like This As If They Are The Washington Fucking Post
Plus a lot of us are dorks and calling it the old place or the old country just adds a flair to it that amuses some of us. Sorry.
If I have to choose, personally I would say that how this place can be so.goddamn.serious.all.the.goddamn.time.about.goddamn.everything.
Honestly, it can be so exhausting reading Era sometimes.
Some people act like they know everything about anything. That skin care thread must be full of dermatologists posting.
Why do people ask for proof in a thread and then never respond when said proof is provided?
Grammar elitists. Get a life,.I made a typo, i'm human. You're sole posting contribution to a thread is to "LOOK EVERY BODY - I SPOTTED HIS MISTAKE" me?
