Unfortunatly, you couldn't just give up (or stop making remarks towards me, either in post or sig form.) Its war now. Although I don't feel like copying your sig again, so for now, the battle is on hold.

Well I still hate anybody who clones others in any way. I mainly meant that at least I have funny/interesting stuff (mainly talking about those stories you wrote) to read. But throughout this entire thread I've usually just been ignoring Pineconn lolz. Sorry if I wasn't really clear.Quote:

And read this.

Rule 1: NEVER argue with a high-reputation member.
Face it, the easiest way to lose your rep is to jack someone off. The easiest way to jack someone off is to disagree violently with them. If you don't agree with their view, do not post.
Quote:
Rule 3: ALWAYS argue with a low-reputation member.
No one likes these guys, that's why they have a low reputation. AGN does not want them and AGN will actively try to encourage them to leave. There is no harm done in accelerating this process. Taking sides with them associates you with them and you risk getting negatives just for sticking up for them. However, trolling them can be great fun, and I find that clever insults against a universally hated target will generate more positive feedback than any other type of post. Never miss an opportunity to stick it to these guys.
Quote:
Rule 8: Apologize for mistakes
If you screw up, admit it. If you insult someone you shouldn't have, apologize. You won't look like a hardcore internet tough guy©, but many people (me included) respect anyone who can admit their failures and humble themselves.
Quote:
Rule 9: NEVER MAKE ENEMIES EVER
If you make an enemy you are in trouble. In the worst-case scenario, your new enemy is friends with a veteran or staff. Since so many people follow rules 1 and 2, you will be low-rep and the butt of jokes within hours. It is time for rule 8, you need to make a public and humiliating apology. You will still lose some reputation, but it will be a flesh wound rather than a mortal blow.
Quote:
Rule 10: NEVER leave negative feedback
Particularly if you are a veteran, people can recognize your posting style. Based on the post you vote on and the comments you leave, it can be easy to tell who leaves feedback. Negative feedback makes people angry and if they figure out it was you they will retaliate.
Quote:
Rule 13: If more than one member says your thread sucks, ABORT!
Once it becomes apparent that the thread is not approved, there is nothing to be gained by defending it. The community wants the thread to die, so give it a peaceful death.
Maybe if you didn't have a 1.4MB image in your signature your bandwidth wouldn't get so hammered?
Just sayin
*edit* Also the only appropriate way to deal with an image leecher is to rename the file, update your own signature, and place some kind of vulgar image in the leeched image's place. One time I noticed some jerk was using a several-megs large animated gif on my site as his forums avatar and so I stole this one image from a Something Awful comic about Scientology and added some text and the results... were not so pleasant [NO CLICK ZONE for at-work crew maybe?]
Atma: I'd already done what you suggested. This was the result:

It was funny for the few minutes it worked. And my Bandwidth isn't that bad, I was just exaggerating. As you do.
Plissken: I didn't mean to be so harsh on you, sorry. I was just a little irritated that some pathetic little teen had nothing better to do then to copy everything I did. I'm over it now. Y'know he actually tried to give me positive rep? Ah, good times.
Wait you mean lolz tried to give you a positive rep? And don't feel bad you weren't really harsh. From reading my last post it did seem like I was encouraging him. >_<
Just a forum? Just a forum? AGN is far more than "just a forum" for a lot of us here. Don't mess with the crew man.Quote:

AGN is a community of 'special friends', who get together and pass the time by sharing news, telling stories and insulting those who aren't as special as us. I don't like it when people threaten the delicately balanced status quo of that.
Seriously now. I'm far more attached to this place then I should be. I thrive on the attention my threads get. I actually care what the people here think. If their views are different from mine, I enjoy discussing the differences we have. I like to bat ideas around with the people here. Hell, I feel all special when someone gives me green rep. The sheer glow around me once I started doing those South Park parodies was so intense my family had to wear shades (not true). I love it here, I really do.
So when some new guy comes along and starts acting like a little 8-year old bully, I get a little anxious. And when said bully starts targeting me, it's as if they've come over to my house, rung the doorbell and just spat in my face when I open the door. I freely admit that I take this place too seriously, I do. But when another member starts imitating my avatar (which, in my opinion, he shouldn't be able to do until he hits the 1,000 post mark) and my signature (which I was planning on changing anyway, but still...), he's not just having a bit of fun, he's taking the piss out of me.
So yeah, I over-reacted, I did some childish things, and I swore (something I don't normally do, as anyone here will attest to). No excuses, no cunning line to get me out of it. I messed up. I fueled this guy's fire by responding to his childish antics. I'll try my damned hardest not to do it again in future.
Now for God's sake, ban his ass and let's move on with our lives. :p
BTW, don't worry about BAD, I'll for sure be with it all the way. I just need to take a little time off due to all these homework assignments I have due within the next few days.
I find that last sentence especially funny. Someone should edit the pic of Breaker and lightningz and replace that with Lolz. I'm too lazy to do it.
And Lolz, research the part of Brutus!
