Each poll now has a link to create a discussion about it, or a link to the discussion if one has already been started for that particular poll. Please don't abuse this. Sysop 5 months (2009-12-01 00:12:?? UTC)
"I want some advice" is a horrible headline. Stop it. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-30 19:29:?? UTC)
How is it possible to not understand that a space goes after a comma? Also, what is up with "Lets"? It's very common for newbies to begin a sentence like that when they actually mean "Let's". Sysop 5 months (2009-11-30 19:05:?? UTC)
"Beautiful computer games." is a horribly misleading headline for a topic containing: "Can anyone recommend me a PC game that is really stunning and is a free-roam type game." A proper headline would make it clear that you are requesting beautiful computer games rather than wanting to discuss them in general or providing them. Also, that body is supposed to have a question mark in the end — not a period. This kind of thing is so fucking annoying… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-30 18:55:?? UTC)
Give it up already, virtua.com.br troll. You will never be allowed in here again. You've tried to get whitelisted countless times since your ISP was blacklisted and I can see exactly the kind of troll shit you try to post every time. You're not welcome here. Get it? Sysop 5 months (2009-11-30 14:30:?? UTC)
Once again: don't try to violate anyone's privacy. You will be permanently locked out for not respecting the spirit and one of the basic points of this service. Regardless of your contributions. Without the possibility of ever recovering your internal ID. Don't be fucking stupid. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-30 08:08:?? UTC)
If you see any illegal Web site trying to get donations via PayPal, please send an e-mail to [email protected] and let them know about it. Some of the trolls who got AT's account banned (making it extremely difficult to donate) are themselves trying to get donations using the same service. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-30 06:34:?? UTC)
Thanks, person who donated ~$182 USD. It's still "pending" but says it will be established in a couple of days. Then it will be added to the credits together with any comment that you attached. Hopefully, more AnTs will join you now. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-30 05:28:?? UTC)
"Sort of" fixed the extremely annoying bug that sometimes fucked up reply previews when citing other replies where "typos" were detected by the spell checker. Unfortunately, the fix is not a "clean" one yet, but rather of the "ugly hack" kind; I made the title show a static text instead of the snippet of the referenced post when you are in preview mode. Should not matter much, but still… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-30 00:41:?? UTC)
"My friends laptop." ← This is nonsense. The apostrophe is really basic English and there is no excuse for not knowing how to use it. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-30 00:11:?? UTC)
Interesting ban appeal: "Not everything is a troll. Well fuck you Sysop. I'm sure I will be banned but I don't care. This site is gay. LOLOLOL FAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG fucking Sysop faggy pussy pedo cunt troll bag"… They are all the same. Extremely predictable. Never one bit of originality. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-29 20:00:?? UTC)
If only 1% of the idiots who seem to do nothing else but actively trying to ruin things for me instead spent their energy on promoting and helping AT, this place would be huge. Yet, you have your fucking troll holes where you sit around and plan various "attacks" and write lies non-stop for no reason. Not to mention you read every bulletin here, hoping that I'll say something "funny". What the fuck is wrong with you? Contribute to a better world instead of making it worse, you obnoxious little shits. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-29 16:37:?? UTC)
Why are you not spreading the word? Seriously. Why the FUCK are you NOT SPREADING THE WORD?! Don't you see that this site is still struggling to get any kind of real traffic, this long after its launch? Do you think that this is OK? Am I the only person in this fucked up world full of lazy morons who realizes how great it is, and especially how great it could be with real traffic? Sysop 5 months (2009-11-29 12:15:?? UTC)
I just noticed somebody who replied to an off-topic reply, but also included on-topicness in his reply. That is perfect. It's how things should be done. Always "steer back" onto the right course — don't allow a sub-discussion to develop beyond a single reply. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-29 00:00:?? UTC)
Stop hi-jacking topics with unrelated drivel — start your own topic instead. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-28 23:56:?? UTC)
In the case of "its" versus "it's", if you are unsure, it's better to use the apostrophe than to omit it. Using "it's" when "its" is actually correct is acceptable, although of course not encouraged in any way. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-28 20:32:?? UTC)
http://www.IWantAPal.com/ needs traffic. It more or less gets no "hits" whatsoever; it stopped being used after a few days instead of increasing slowly in activity. What the hell? Not even a completely "clean" site, once again unique and carefully crafted, is able to get any traffic these days? I guess its nature makes it very difficult for its users to "spread the word", but at least some Web masters (who could link there) must be reading these bulletins… Remember: you would indirectly be supporting AT! Sysop 5 months (2009-11-28 20:29:?? UTC)
"Whitelisting" has nothing to do with "unbanning". I keep seeing this confusion. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-28 20:19:?? UTC)
Since nothing I say is ever correctly interpreted: "search bots" means MALICIOUS CLIENTS that pretend to be normal Web browsers but only search for random nonsensical strings here. Of course proper search engine bots are not included in the list of "folks" on-line. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-28 19:15:?? UTC)
… and the only time the number of folks on-line climbs to any decent level is when those fucking search bots come around. This is hopeless. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-27 20:32:?? UTC)
It would be FAR less obnoxious and depressing to deal with all these fucking idiots if at least there were tons of NON-retards around, but those are in a clear minority. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-27 19:21:?? UTC)
What kind of mental illness do you have if you spend enough time here to post 100 quality posts only to suddenly start flooding with "wishes" and private messages (about 30 in total) consisting of "LOLOLO UR A FAG" repeated over and over (and various variations of it)? Because that's what just happened. And it's far from the first time. More or less all the topics created a couple of days ago were made by this psychopath. What the fuck? Do you realize what this means? Nobody posted real topics… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-27 18:24:?? UTC)
Ever heard of the APOSTROPHE?! It's BASIC fucking punctuation. I'm really fucking sick of banning people for this shit. I'm sick of banning people altogether. Stop posting SHIT. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-27 18:11:?? UTC)
Good job getting yourselves banned, shitlisted and getting your passwords scrambled, the three retards who fed trolls and violated the privacy of others. Thanks for making AT's userbase shrink even more, you fucking idiots. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-27 18:00:?? UTC)
Don't you realize that you need to SPREAD THE WORD for this place to grow and not die?! Do you think that people come here automatically? They sure as HELL don't. The polls hardly get any voters at all and the new topics (that aren't spam by trolls, of course) are extremely scarce. The fact of the matter is that after almost two years, almost nobody visits the best and most unique Web site in existence. This is absurd. Yet, you read this, ignore it and then just go back to doing whatever you are doing. Why? Sysop 5 months (2009-11-27 13:27:?? UTC)
Almost nothing but retarded trolls left "using" this site. And hours between topics? Are you fucking kidding me? Eat shit and die, all of you. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-27 12:52:?? UTC)
Less than 50 people on-line. Wow. It hasn't been this dead for a very long time. I never thought it would actually stay below 100 again. Thank you for killing AT, you ungrateful pieces of shit. This is the result of never lifting a finger to spread the word or link anyone here. Everyone does it for all other sites, but not for this particular one. Not for the one that doesn't suck. You're fucking unbelievable. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-27 10:42:?? UTC)
Still zero donations. I would be surprised if a single one of you has ever actually spread (socially bookmarked) any topic/poll/topic post/reply post/event, despite the convenient feature which makes it damn near effortless. You must be the least supportive community ever. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-27 10:36:?? UTC)
http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/3472/31552356.gif ← And you thought that I was crazy for removing the automatically expiring bans a while back… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-26 18:52:?? UTC)
How can there be so many malicious assholes who have no interest whatsoever in using this board, but instead post anti-AT lies and bypass their bans again and again? How do they find the time and energy to constantly cause problems for no apparent reasons? Haven't they even read the fucking FAQ? It clearly states that AT doesn't have "free speech" and explains why this would be impossible in a world full of people like them. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-26 18:14:?? UTC)
The morons who come here never cease to amaze with their utter, pure stupidity. Surprisingly, some of them actually manage to write technically valid sentences (although the meaning is nonsensical), which is scary in itself. Don't they ever take a break to do something else other than trying to spread their perversely confused and inaccurate lies here? Sysop 5 months (2009-11-26 17:52:?? UTC)
Some of you seem to use "_SCHEMA_" (with two underscores on each side) without having first checked that the site supports HTTPS. This is very rarely supported. Don't use it unless you are sure. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-26 14:43:?? UTC)
New private messages sent to users now have a clear, unambiguous sender (rather than saying that they are from either me, a wiseguy or the board itself). Still waiting for those massive donations and quality traffic, BTW… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-26 14:29:?? UTC)
Still $0 donated, and the traffic is not increasing one bit — it's actually shrinking and consistently so low now that I hardly see any point in even trying anymore. (What's the fucking point of asking for bank information if you then don't actually donate anything? People keep doing that and the account always says $0 and I end up having to pay for everything.) Sysop 5 months (2009-11-26 11:48:?? UTC)
Actually, the very fact that AT does allow so-called "pedo shit" (referring to discussions by and about pedophiles) should make tons of people very curious about this place. That's what you would think Sysop 5 months (2009-11-26 10:52:?? UTC)
I just read a PM where yet another idiot talked about how much he would donate if AT started censoring "pedo shit". Eh. You don't get to demand fundamental changes just for donating. In fact, you don't get to demand anything at all. Your feedback will be listened to just as anyone else's. You are not "buying shares" when you donate. Also, "please don't ban me for this" usually results in a ban because you admit to knowingly violating the rules; adding that text is even worse than being ignorant. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-26 10:45:?? UTC)
Happy Thanksgiving! ? 5 months (2009-11-26 04:47:?? UTC)
It's been said before, but it needs repetition apparently: if you are making grammar mistakes that fifth-grade English is supposed to teach you better like comma splices, get the FUCK OFF OF THIS BOARD! ? 5 months (2009-11-26 03:03:?? UTC)
Not all of these bulletins are written by Sysop, you know. ? 5 months (2009-11-26 01:12:?? UTC)
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:ContributionHistory/en ← You happily throw away endless millions of dollars on Bimbo Whales but can't even support AT with a few hundred bucks a month? Unbelievable. Truly un-fucking- believable. How is AT not receiving huge anonymous donations from organizations and millionaires that wish to keep this truly unique and awesome place alive? It should be mentioned on TV regularly, but not even a single Web site of any kind of significance links here. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-25 13:14:?? UTC)
Am I dreaming? How the FUCK does the already nearly non-existent traffic decrease?! 50-60 people on-line? Why the bloody hell don't you ever spread the God damn word?! Thanks for the $0 in donations, BTW — AT is sure to live on with this influx of generosity. It's nice that you care and all. Fucking assholes. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-25 12:15:?? UTC)
I'm broke. IWAP, a perfectly "clean" and linkable site, is completely dead and yesterday it made $0. The day before it? ~$0.02. Either you start donating (or massively bringing people to IWAP by the tens of thousands — no site that I've contacted has even had the decency of answering my e-mail) NOW or AT dies very soon against my will. Your choice. Enough bullshit excuses — money talks: http://88.80.21.12/donate Sysop 5 months (2009-11-24 16:53:?? UTC)
The traffic to both AT and IWAP is pathetic and inexplicably low. Nothing that I do helps. It's high time that you start showing some support. Why are you reading this and then just ignore it? Why is there even a need for me to type this once again? Sysop 5 months (2009-11-24 09:23:?? UTC)
http://88.80.21.12/links is finally up (it's been secretly lurking for 1.5+ years). I can recommend this one especially: http://theclassicalstation.org/internet.shtml (classical music streamed for free without commercials — perfect for listening to in the background while you compose perfect, high-quality AT posts)… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-24 07:00:?? UTC)
What the fuck?! How is it possible to get literally everything wrong?! Sysop 5 months (2009-11-24 04:39:?? UTC)
STOP QUOTING ENTIRE POSTS, REFERRING TO PARTICIPANT LETTERS, FEEDING TROLLS, REPLYING TO OFF-TOPIC REPLIES OR ADMITTING TO TROLLING — YOU WILL BE BANNED AND SHITLISTED IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT A NANOSECOND OF HESITATION! Sysop 5 months (2009-11-24 04:36:?? UTC)
Are you trolls really this dumb? If your poster account is a couple of minutes/hours old and your first posts are negative replies to AT-related topics, or your first post is a negative topic about AT, you ARE GOING TO BE LABELED AS A TROLL AND REMOVED! Sysop 5 months (2009-11-24 04:24:?? UTC)
If you are too wimpy to link to AT, even to the SFW mode, you can always link to IWAP instead to indirectly support AT financially: http://www.iwantapal.com/ Sysop 5 months (2009-11-24 04:04:?? UTC)
Call me crazy, but to the untrained eye it seems that more and more typos and/or general grammar errors are occurring. Please, please, PLEASE proof-read all of your posts. ? 5 months (2009-11-23 21:00:?? UTC)
For fuck's sake. If you're going to troll AT, at least put some effort into it.

I've seen countless amounts of extremely obvious trolls over the past few days and it's just fucking pathetic.
? 5 months (2009-11-23 17:07:?? UTC)
Pointless trivia: reply #300,000 was: "You can bring a horse…". Sysop 5 months (2009-11-23 15:00:?? UTC)
You need to start linking people to AT. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-23 10:51:?? UTC)
New field in the "new poll" section: "extra information". This may look like bloat to you (gonna try to make it look cleaner soon), but some (few) polls simply need more of an explanation than what will fit in the question. That is why this had to be added. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-23 05:12:?? UTC)
Why is it that the annoying, trolly PM conversations go on forever whereas the ones which could very well get the poster in question unbanned because he/she is not a real psycho just seem to stop? (Yes, I am referring to you, wiseguy.) Sysop 5 months (2009-11-23 04:46:?? UTC)
Stop making shitty, misleading headlines. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-23 02:52:?? UTC)
Having just spent significant time deleting countless incorrect posts made by a moron who has been fucking up this board for weeks with his/her shitty posts, I urge you to carve this into your skin: A SPACE DOES GO AFTER COMMAS, PERIODS, COLONS, SEMICOLONS AND BEFORE THE BEGINNING PARENTHESIS. A SPACE DOES NOT GO BEFORE A QUESTION MARK! Sysop 5 months (2009-11-22 07:45:?? UTC)
This poster I just removed had been including an obvious typo in nearly every post he had published here AND had two different replies in which he stated conflicting messages about himself: in one, he was a "female child", but in the other, he claimed to be a "gay male". Liars and douchebags are fucking up this place with their bullshit… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-22 06:34:?? UTC)
The polls really need more votes. If you don't check the Polls section frequently, go there and vote on a few of them. Try to make a habit of this. ? 5 months (2009-11-22 04:55:?? UTC)
If you are not going to post a helpful, on-topic reply, don't respond at all. One perfect example is a recent topic where somebody asks for links to CP. OK. You think that's illegal? Just ignore the topic. In fact, you should be happy if somebody responds with accurate links so that you can throw yourself over them and report the sites to whoever actually hosts them. AT doesn't host any illegal material and never will. Why do you think that we host no images? Trolls would abuse it within minutes. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-22 04:45:?? UTC)
"I just occasionally break the rules when I need to and gamble that you're not around to ban me or that my post will stay long enough for me to get what I want." ← This is the kind of PM I get from long-timers. Never a sane person — only these fucking psychopaths. Needless to say, he is now permanently banned. It's very sad, but he has nobody to blame but himself for not only breaking the rules, but openly admitting it. You really can't trust or rely on anyone — not even one of the first posters… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-22 04:13:?? UTC)
If you're going to post contact information (which is not recommended and often off-topic), you must make it clear that the email address/IM account was created just for AT. If the contact information could possibly be tied to you personally, it will be deleted. ? 5 months (2009-11-22 01:57:?? UTC)
If your first topic is a "question" (troll attempt) about this board or me which has been asked hundreds or even thousands of times earlier by other retarded trolls (and most likely by you as well), you will get banned and have it removed. Especially if you are using an ISP known to be used by one of the psychopaths who come back here at least once a day to publish nonsensical and/or malicious posts. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-21 22:09:?? UTC)
"Try and" may be common instead of "try to", but it's still not… right. Yet, it's reasonably "OK slang" rather than "Internet retard speak", just like "it don't make no sense" which is likely very tightly tied to the author's personality. It's not recommended, though. (Some slack is actually cut, but announcing this to people who misinterpret everything that I say is very dangerous…) Sysop 5 months (2009-11-21 21:33:?? UTC)
If you're going to try and 'debate' something, then read all the replies in the thread. You really look like an idiot when you jump in and try and argue against someone when that very same person has used the exact same argument you're trying to use against them. Another requisite to debating is to ensure that you aren't insecurely latched onto an opinion so much so that you aren't going to let go of it even in the presence of ample contrary evidence. ? 5 months (2009-11-21 18:46:?? UTC)
If caring too much is a crime, I'm guilty as charged. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-20 23:11:?? UTC)
It feels more and more pointless to continue running a place where nobody gives a shit about the simple rules and instructions. I keep deleting post after post and banning morons all day and I probably miss a lot of them. Are you really this fucking dumb? Why are you not putting in any effort? Sysop 5 months (2009-11-20 20:15:?? UTC)
http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3868/29949215.gif ← How do these morons manage to get so many things wrong? The most annoying part is that this particular one had TONS of posts which would take forever to go through and check for similar errors, but, as so often, good posts are mixed with bad ones by the same poster for some reason. It's a very bad feeling to know that this kind of garbage lurks around on the board, ready for anyone to read and "learn from". Fuck. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-20 19:02:?? UTC)
READ BEFORE WRITING A REPLY! DO NOT REPLY AT ALL IF YOU HAVE NOT EVEN READ THE TOPIC THAT YOU ARE REPLYING TO! Jesus fucking Christ. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-20 05:06:?? UTC)
What the fuck IS this? Why does a person with hundreds of quality posts suddenly post a worthless reply such as: "I don't give a fuck… I was drinking Sprite when I read your fucking headline."?! I'll probably never get used to this — it's just too strange. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-20 02:45:?? UTC)
Why don't people read the topics before replying to them? Sigh… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-20 02:27:?? UTC)
I've contacted "Retardchan" about permanent mutual linkage, to maybe get all the fucking spam gone from both sites once and for all, even offering them to link to AT in SFW mode and using tongue-in-cheek humour such as "Are you anal-retentive? Perhaps AnonTalk.com is better for you!" and "Tired of using your brains? Go hang at 4chan.org!", but I haven't heard back from them, and, quite frankly, I don't expect to. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-19 21:38:?? UTC)
Typical situation: Somebody makes a topic. The first reply says something irrelevant/off-topic. Everything now revolves around that off-topic remark. The topic is lost. I ban and shitlist everyone who participated in the off-topicness and delete their posts. The topic is now abandoned, worthless and AT has even fewer users just because you are unable to stick to the fucking topic. (And then you come back and ask why you were banned and waste even more of my time with endless PMs.) Sysop 5 months (2009-11-19 20:05:?? UTC)
You wouldn't believe all the douchebags who keep arguing about getting banned in private even after they admitted to being trolls. Truly unbelievable. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-19 17:30:?? UTC)
It's really up to you, but polls with stupid options such as "Can you repeat the question?" are bound to get stupid votes. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-19 16:24:?? UTC)
I don't know of any language or dialect in which omitting a space on one side of a dash (but not the other) is correct. It's "foo—bar" or "foo — bar", not "foo— bar" or "foo —bar". Why do so many people keep making this mistake? ? 5 months (2009-11-19 13:31:?? UTC)
Some posters do so many "mistakes" that you really start to wonder… http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/5471/75454827.gif Sysop 5 months (2009-11-19 05:24:?? UTC)
This is so incredibly common in private messages to me that I simply have to address it (again?): You were almost certainly NOT banned and/or had your post(s) deleted because of what you posted content-wise, but because of how you posted it (spelling, etc.)! Stop telling me that you've "seen worse posts here" or asking me how I can allow X if you can't ask about Y, somehow assuming that your post(s) was/were deleted because of controversy. (That only happens when you obviously "troll".) Sysop 5 months (2009-11-18 14:53:?? UTC)
Why is it that some people confuse bulletins, whitelist requests, testimonials and private messages with each other? It's quite absurd. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-18 05:21:?? UTC)
New option: "mini menu mode". It removes four seldom-used (by some regulars) links from the main menu ("Hot", "Shuffle", "Events" and "FAQ") and put them in the "Stuff" section instead (so that you can still access them). I guess it's at least better than nothing — a "custom menu composer" will probably come at some point in the future, but not for a long time. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-18 00:11:?? UTC)
What the hell am I gonna do to make you actually proof-read your posts before you publish them? I keep deleting posts and ban people all day for this. It's extremely rude and it really is a huge problem for many/most topics which become more or less nonsensical when your post(s) is/are deleted since other posters respond to your incorrect post(s), starting a chain reaction. It wastes so much time and causes so much trouble in general. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-17 20:04:?? UTC)
STOP FEEDING THE GOD DAMN TROLLS. THEY AND YOU WILL BE BANNED. GET IT? FUCKING RETARDS! YOU JUST FUCKED UP YET ANOTHER TOPIC THAT TURNED ENTIRELY OFF-TOPIC WITH THE FIRST FUCKING REPLY AND JUST WENT DOWNHILL FROM THERE WITH 100% OFF-TOPIC SHIT. YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR FEEDING TROLLS. NO WARNINGS. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-17 16:33:?? UTC)
Sometimes I think that trolls make spelling mistakes on purpose when writing otherwise OK posts that are criticism to AT or me, just to be able to say that they got censored when it gets deleted. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-17 16:22:?? UTC)
It keeps baffling me how you can jeopardize your ID by posting shit when you have many quality posts. Happens all the fucking time. And then you (an unknown but large number of those who do this since I don't keep track of it scientifically) come back and ask to get unbanned and tell me how sorry you are. What the fuck? Don't be sorry and waste my time — just don't post trolly/off-topic shit. I'm very sick of hearing about how "sorry" everyone is. It only makes me feel bad. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-17 16:11:?? UTC)
Small novelty detail: upon successfully publishing a post, the notice message will now tell you how long it took you to compose it. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-16 23:34:?? UTC)
"I got banned the other day for posting a story about my experiences in prison." ← No, that is definitely NOT why you got banned. Jebus… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-16 19:13:?? UTC)
Finish your texts/sentences. I don't know how many otherwise good replies I delete every single day because they end without any punctuation character, as if it were cut off all of a sudden, perhaps accidentally submitted. This fucks up topics. And what's with the morons who always try to violate the privacy of everyone? "This is obviously Sysop" ← I see this crap posted daily in random topics and it's never correct. Even if it were correct, however, it would still get you banned. Read the rules. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-16 14:45:?? UTC)
Contrary to popular opinion, arguing about headlines, whether or not the OP is a troll, and/or grammar are not considered helpful contributions to a topic. ? 5 months (2009-11-15 17:54:?? UTC)
No, seriously. STOP bitching about variations on WGMG. Sysop has NOT forbidden those types of threads, with or without his verbiage. ? 5 months (2009-11-15 17:20:?? UTC)
To clear up any confusion, if you see a thread title that reads "What ____s my ____", for example, "What tickles my tomato", it's a "What grinds my gears" thread. Thank you. ? 5 months (2009-11-15 17:17:?? UTC)
Shameless self-promotion: http://www.iwantapal.com/ … Actually, that service was partially sparked by the fact that some people constantly try to use AT as some kind of a friendship site, violating their own (or somebody else's?) privacy. Sysop 5 months (2009-11-15 06:57:?? UTC)
Can we stop complaining about variations on "grinds my/your gears" unless Sysop says otherwise? When you do, you ARE going off-topic. Stop it. ? 5 months (2009-11-15 02:35:?? UTC)
Yet another "regular" banned for suddenly posting an unhelpful troll reply ("A pair of eyes, you fucking faggot.", or something like that, in response to a topic where somebody asks for the best graphics card). This happens several times a day. It's almost more sad than annoying… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-15 00:34:?? UTC)
How many times does it have to be said?! STICK TO THE FUCKING TOPIC! STOP GOING OFF-TOPIC! YOU WILL GET BANNED IF YOU DO IT — NO WARNINGS! You are destroying this place with your God damn fucking off-topic bullshit. Respect each topic and keep each discussion about one thing and one thing only. Branch into your own topic if you want to discuss something else. It's more than OK to start new topics that are similar to other topics — it is very much encouraged! Idiots… Sysop 5 months (2009-11-14 22:56:?? UTC)
Newbies: If you are a "chantard", you are NOT wanted here. I repeat: if you are one of those unbelievably stupid and obnoxious douchebags who go around talking about "lulz", "dox", "faggot", "kill yourself", "mudkips", etc., you aren't welcome to AT. This is a general mentality of fucktardism which doesn't necessarily require that you frequent any site containing "chan" in its name, although this is typical. If so, please remove yourself immediately or stop being like that (again, very unlikely). Sysop 5 months (2009-11-14 22:05:?? UTC)
"Do you wish that Sgt. Peppers never thought the band to play?" ← This is nonsense… right? Sysop 6 months (2009-11-14 12:51:?? UTC)
Stop pressing enter in the middle of sentences. ? 6 months (2009-11-14 00:32:?? UTC)
Stop pointing out grammatical and spelling errors in posts, you fucking retards. This is exactly what the report feature is for. ? 6 months (2009-11-13 22:16:?? UTC)
If you are in a heated discussion, never, ever hurl insults purely because you have no better arguments. Even if you have an accompanying point, refrain from tossing random insults/expletives at someone. This is childish and shows that you likely have nothing better to reply with. Remember what your mother told you: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Man up if you've lost an argument. ? 6 months (2009-11-13 21:06:?? UTC)
Trolls come here because they want to extract reactions from you. This is their idea of comedy. Whatever you do, don't encourage them. ? 6 months (2009-11-13 13:37:?? UTC)
A banned poster appealed their ban. I unbanned him/her. I get a PM back shortly after with: "FUCK YOU FAGGOT!1111" nonsense. Similar things happen all the time. I was evidently very wrong in thinking that I had met the worst psychos before I started AT… Sysop 6 months (2009-11-12 18:14:?? UTC)
