DrBouvenstein posted:Yeah, I've never liked that first way...doesn't make sense. The second one reminds me of comics and such, but what's up with that first one? Why is there the horizontal line? Because normal spaces don't work and most people don't know about the non-breakable ones, so they use shitloads of underscores.

Occupation posted:The second one is when Ozma got drunk or something (???) in TVIV and changed everyone who didn't have an av on the last page of the King of the Hill thread to that dummy picture, which was a character on KotH. I don't think he was drunk, there was just a big expanse of avatar-free posters in the thread & he was feeling generous. Content:  is  +  , created for Leperflesh in a Diplomacy game. He made a ton of long-winded whiny posts (which were very entertaining!) about how everyone was against him & backstabbing only him and he didn't have any reason to keep playing. is wrestling writer Vince Russo gleefully penning yet another swerve into his storyline. It's terrible, but at least we didn't see it coming!

In addition to what a couple of posters already mentioned, there's an extra joke in that picture. It's "augmented", and contains a soundfile as well that programs like winamp can play.

Ovo posted:If I remember correctly BYOB posters bought that emote as a prank on GBS since they spent ages arguing over what it should be. BYOB got so excited about their prank that they accidently bought 2 or 3 versions of I remember that. I remember being irritated at the time because I really liked what GBS had been cooking up before BYOB (or was it FYAD?) poo poo in their cornflakes.

Very interesting. It's what you said, I was in a good mood and wanted to be generous so I gave a bunch of people with no avatars a king of the hill avatar.

TL posted:Anyone happen to know the story behind It's a player in knifeback mountain who somehow ended up getting his facebook page looked at because he'd left it public. Following that a lot of the knifeback illuminati then made a thread in gbs called something like "HEY THERES THIS DORK IN THE ALDI CATALOGUE LETS PHOTOSHOP HIM" involving a particulary funny picture they'd pulled from said facebook and managed to keep it going for a couple of pages. As I recall the thread didn't really go very far and got gassed pretty quickly becuase it was lovely, especially after some people who went to aldi a lot said that they'd never seen this at all ever. At any rate, one of the knifeback dudes then made that, I think it was hambeef or synthy but i'm not actually sure. tl;dr it's an EU TF2 group injoke.

Yes, and I lost mine after someone I know in LoL bought me a LoL themed avatar after he won a contest in the LP forum. Pretty much anyone who braved the elements to post in the bitcoin forums or followed it at all got one basically.
