Weird Forum characters that people laugh at. Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

You know... the stereotypical ones..

NB: this thread is not to be used to bash Poly members and I hope the mods ban anyone who does.


Anyway, here are two that always make me laugh:

Capsman: You know, the guy who types everything in capitals.

"OMFG! WELL I THINK THAT BUSH IS A REALLY GOOD PRESIDENT AND I'LL WRITE IN CAPS IF I WANT AND I WON'T EVER USE FULL STOPS OR PARAGRAPHS AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM ******* AND DID YOU SEE ASHLEE SIMPSON ON TV LAST NIGHT...."



Capsman's cousin is the ee cummings wannabe who never uses capitals.


Or...


Roger Irrelevant: this dude pops up on various forums that have nothing whatsoever to do with his posts.

For example, you are perusing a forum devoted solely to democratic politics and you see a post like this:

Hi! I've just got on to the internet and I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix the differential on a 77 Ford Flatulence?

Do these people ever post more than once on the internet? And do they brag to their friends at work: "Hey I posted on the internet once!"



Anyone else know any amusing net stereotypes for weird behaviour?

I'm only posting this because all the other threads are boring poo.

How about people who are bored witless by what's posted on their favorite forums, but still can't think of anything better to do than post on those forums?

I said no mean things about Apolytoners.

But you've just insulted everyone.

I doubt it. The thread would be deleted for being hostile and non-Amero-centric first.

[pb]Archivist[/b] saves and squirrels away each and every discussion forum message. Do you remember having a bad day back in 1996 when in one of your messages you may have said a few things that were...well, perhaps a little...hasty? Don't worry, Archivist still has it and will post it to the forum if you begin to get the upper hand in battle. Archivist can be a very effective and fearsome Warrior.
