Re: Deadbeat Message Board Members

[rikki_rakko]

Okay, if you couldn't tell by the title of the topic, this is going to be a rant -- so hang on to your RDS holiday gift hat.

What is the deal with people who go to the trouble of joining this message board community, then don't ever bother posting word one! It's bad enough that the majority of members average about, oh, maybe one post each, but none -- what's the Gdamned point?!

Well, you've skated under the radar long enough, yardbirds. I am now officially putting the following members on notice:

Amyea - okay, not only did this person sign up and not post anything, she signed up a second time as Amyea 3 and still didn't post anything!
Dave - get with the program, Dave.
DianaSlowDeth - clever name, sh*tty poster.
EricKeyes - and this guy's one of my best friends, for Christ sake!
FuriousBrosPlumbing - letsa go, Mario!
Marcetron - what kind of name is that, anyway?
SixByNine - more like Zero By A Zero
Utils - just write something, okay jerk?!
bigtortuga - pathetic
madfeebles - just plain old feeble, if you ask me

So now we all know who you are, ya' lazy bastards. You cared enough at some point to join this maverick of a message board - now it's time to start pulling your weight. Otherwise we will begin to incure fines (yes, that was one of the terms of membership that I'm sure you breezed over when you came aboard.)

Well . . . you seem to like posting messages. In fact, you seem to enjoy posting a lot of messages a lot of the time.

So why don't you post some messages for the rest of us, and then you can shut your big fat yapper about the lack of posts.

Signed-
a fan (previously. Now, I just don't know.)

First things first...welcome to the RDS Message Board, FamilyGal.

Now, about your post: go to hell. Yeah, you heard me, lady. Go. To. Hell.

I have spent the better part of this last year trying to cultivate a forum in which fans and professionals alike can meet, interact and discuss this medium that we all love called animation. Has it been easy? No. Has it been successful? No. So I don't appreciate some noobie troll waltzing in and taking potshots at the hard, fruitless labor of myself and a handful of message board faithfuls. That's the entire point of this thread, you dizzy cooz!
I will say this for you, FamilyGal, at least you posted a few messages after you joined, unlike our members above. However, I predict now that you've spit your load of venom, you'll find another floundering message board to terrorize and we'll never hear from you again -- which is fine by me.

Again, wecome to the board.

I missed 4 posts when I was last here..... about a year ago.

And so it seems that rancor and anger follow in the path of Rikki. I just think that this one time he was reaching out and that FamilyGal thing came in and whooped him for no good reason.

As our friend chili-size pointed out in the RDS POKER thread, today (8/2/05) is message board member johnlysenko's birthday!
Happy birthday, johnlysenko! Now why don't you celebrate by posting something, ya friggin' bum!

[rikki_rakko]

[rikki_rakko]

What the hell...? Is it me, or is the whole g#d damned world turning into some friggin' slacker show on MTV?

^BUMP^

Okay, so you'd think after creating this thread two-and-a-half years ago new visitors would read it and think twice before joining the message board. You'd think they'd say to themselves, "You know what, I don't want to be like those goldbuh-ricers who join and post nothing. When I join, I'm going to post my mother-luvin' brains out!" You'd think that, huh?

But oh no, they still join in droves and post zilcho! Here's just a sampling of our newest members:

"cookie" - 0 posts
"coolio" - 0 posts
"jayavyan" - 0 posts
"hi" - 0 posts
"mi20000" - 0 posts

...and my current favorite,

"Scroogie" - not only did he never post anything, this guy didn't even bother to activate his account after he took the time to join!

G'yahhd!
