With all the placebos these people take, it's surprising that all audiophiles aren't four hundred pounds and diabetic.

How would you guys feel about a fun activity that involved ridiculing audiophiles?

stizu posted:Are you suggesting a forum invasion King Hotpants? What I'm suggesting is a contest, where forum users here go to an audiophile forum and start trying to post ridiculous poo poo without getting called out as trolls. They're doing a similar contest in D&D involving freepers, so I thought it could be fun if we applied this to the only other group I know that's completely devoid of logic or reason. The basics: 1. Register an account on an audiophile forum like head-fi 2. PM me your account name 3. Post ridiculous poo poo without getting banned 4. If you get other people to agree with you, you win. The most outrageous stuff wins a prize (I'll probably do the top three or something). 5. If you get banned, or outed as a troll/making poo poo up, you lose. 6. If you manage to get a legitimate user banned as a troll, you win. I'll sticky this thread or a new one just like it. Don't post anything in TA/VA that would get you banned on the other forum; someone will probably find it.

Omegaslast posted:are we going to get to know what the prizes are? i can think of several tweaks but i dont think anyone at head-fi will fall for them unless i put a shitload of effort into it and take pics of me actually doing it... I'm going to dig around in my A/V closet and see if I can find a really good prize. I'm sure I have something in there that would be awesome. Also, you guys can discuss the contest in the contest thread. Just get a different username when you sign up on another forum.

TheMadMilkman posted:That's very true, but at least they're looking at the best-polished turd imaginable, right? This next year should be a really interesting one to watch in terms of price/performance, though. Runco's new LED-based DLP, for example, is apparently nothing short of amazing, albeit somewhat limited in terms of brightness and therefore screen size. Some very knowledgeable industry insiders have said it has the most film-like picture of any projector they've seen, regardless of price. It retails for only $15-18,000. The one 1080p LED projector I've seen so far did not look film-like at all, and I am moderately sure that it was just a rebadged Runco. It kind of hurts my brain when I see "only" and "$15,000" next to each other. Especially for a 1080p projector.

From now on, whenever I'm saying something dumb, I will slip a "Science." in there. It makes it so much more believable.

Congratulations! I have good news for you, user Stares At Floor! You decided to make a stupid, nit-picky, worthless, and ultimately incorrect post in a thread that plenty of people enjoy, which has brought the wrath of the forum moderation team! But fear not--I'm going to give you an opportunity to redeem yourself. Yes, folks, it's time for a  MOD CHALLENGE! Here is your chance to save yourself from banning! Pick one of the following options: 1. Write 1,000 words on the etymology of the noun pick, especially its relation to the transitive verb form meaning "to choose from a group." 2. Take a picture of yourself doing or holding at least five pick-related things. No two can be the same. 3. Write 1,000 words on pedantry. It must be completely correct in both spelling and grammar. 4. Get video of yourself staring at the floor while someone throws guitar picks at you. It must last at least two minutes and you cannot move or speak. You have until Tuesday at 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time to complete one of these challenges. Good luck! Oh, and if someone else completes one of these challenges before you do, you get banned. Hooray!

Originally I intended for this to be all one picture, but since my original wording was unclear, I'll allow it. Awesome job! Would you like a new title or something for kicking rear end? BONUS MERCY ROUND: Stares At Floor, you still have 12 hours to save yourself! I know that wasn't in the rules, but you doing something sounds like more fun than you not doing something, so if you do a good job I will spare your life!

It saddens me that governments are stupid enough to pay for those things, but I hope that guy goes to jail forever. That's not separating fools from money. That's getting people killed.
