Seeing that he has been probated 2 or 3 times, I think a lot of people have been reporting him.

Did the jerk who posted all those poo poo threads last week get banned? I suspect he's in cahoots with the shitposting robot.

First post should be probated only when and if he fucks up sniping the first post.

Agreed, why are we discriminating against someone for doing a first post first post simply because his name is first post and has the first post emoticon??

Some other chucklefuck would do it if Firstpost didn't, anyway.

I think it'll be good for the forum long-term. People will get so sick of it they won't do it anymore once Firstpost is gone. Like that time my dad caught me smoking and then forced me to do heroin.

Go anywhere irl that obnoxious opinionated nerds frequent (comic shops, gamestops, Magic tournaments, etc) and you'll see that no, it's not a joke. People in these places are usually pretty chill but every once in a while you'll encounter some fedora wearing mouth breather sputtering garbage opinions about worthless bullshit to people who give zero fucks.

"firsties" weren't funny or even amusing 10 years ago, and that's an eternity in internet years.
What's even worse is that some loser (if it's not a bot) is F5ing Page 1 all day long and getting in there before anyone else.

there are no good gimmick accounts

except for that one guy who communicated solely through videogame images

He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man.
i think a good gimmick account would be a dude who never types out his posts, but instead videos himself pretending to be his dog, holding the dog up in front of his face as he talks in a silly dog voice and moving the dog's paws around so it seems like the dog is gesticulating. then just post those videos for every post he makes. it'd be cool for any kind of post, like the "i'm gay" posts up to the really long posts about what stuff symbolizes in movies.

could call himself something good like "goondoggle" (because of "goon" and "dog") and have an avatar of the dog but with the top half of its head moving around so it looks like the way south park makes the canadian guys talk

i mean yeah not everyone is gonna click the links to the guy's videos but i bet a lot of us would, especially if it was a cute dog and he did a good silly dog voice and he brought a lot to the table, discussion-wise
