CaptainSarcastic posted:Are there any current monomaniacal special interest posters who will automatically show up in a thread if certain subjects are mentioned? VvV Get the fork out of here. And while a funny phrase, I think the use of it in the series undervalues Kierkegaard's intention that a willing rejection of logic and observable phenomena was a necessary aspect of faith and belief. Leaping into faith just kind of assumes that it would happen regardless. FilthyImp has a new favorite as of 07:15 on Feb 2, 2019 |

Ugly In The Morning posted:MageMage was kind of funny for searching “tranny” to Kramer in and correct people on using a transphobic slur (which is fine) but not reading before he posted and getting an av+redtext for jumping in on a car discussion about transmissions. I could have sworn Poptart Fairy did exactly the same thing.

The only redtext I ever got was for being a white noise poster back in like '08. Which is still mostly true, I suppose. I wonder how many otherwise active members are mostly silent?

To date I'm still not sure what my redtext means, who bought it, or why it's so teeny. It just kind of randomly showed up after I re-regged.

It’s small because I don’t know how to do font sizes when I buy titles. Someone else can give you a better rundown of what mangosteen is than I’d be able to, but I bought a bunch of forums history/internet history redtexts for people because I am super irresponsible with money. There’s yours, TUBGIRL ENTHUSIAST, GOATSE ADMIRER, LEMONPARTY PARTICIPANT, SWAP.AVI EXCHANGER, and maybe some others but if there are I don’t remember.

mangosteen was a fruit that lowtax tried to sell at some point in the 00s, or maybe he was selling the juice? it was not super well received by goons and lowtax got cranky because I guess it wasnt just a shill but like a fruit he really liked. so it became bannable to make jokes about mangosteen for a while. I think this was before I reg'd in 07 so this is like secondhand tales from days of yore at best

He wasn't selling anything, he just made a post saying something innocuous like "Mangosteen juice is good" and people drove that poo poo so far into the ground it popped up in china with a new wife.

Sorry, I should have specified. I know about mangosteen, it's just that redtexts usually refer to specific post or thing that happened, so I wasn't sure if that was the case. Anyway mystery solved!

Yeah, theyre usually kind of malicious but I just felt like tossing some money at the forums and you didn’t have an avatar I’d end up ruining so I had some fun with it.

SO DONT loving BUY IT, DONT loving DRINK IT, DONT loving CLICK MY LINKS. I mean Christ, all I did was make this thread to support a product which actually pleasantly surprised me, and folks are voting this thread "crap" and suggesting I'm scamming them. I've said repeatedly that this was just my experience and in no way should indicate how everybody else will feel. I've said the links to Amazon were referrals, so I'm not trying to hide anything. I've- ahh gently caress it, I'm closing this thread, gently caress you and gently caress GBS, I can never post a single goddamn thread in here without you faggots making GBS threads it up in some way or another. I should've learned my lesson long ago and never left the intelligent, rational forum where I don't have to deal with clueless idiots and morons like you people. I'm going back to FYAD and staying there, since it has a microscopic fraction of the retards and trolls populating GBS. I guess that should strike me as being ironic, but it's more sad to me than anything. Thanks for running me out of my own goddamn forum.

In our glorious modern posting culture someone would absolutely quote that and reply with "sir this is a [fast food place] drive through" Or better/worse yet "nice meltdown". Truly we have evolved much over the years.
