Amorous Badger
and the fail archive.

Despite his manifest handicaps, the Badger works tirelessly to mock, denigrate or otherwise disparage anyone posting something on QOTW that doesn't meet his low standards. Think of the work he puts in..

~~~~~~Wavy Lines~~~~~

Badger is sitting at his PC in his underpants. His little face is screwed up in concentration. The tip of his tongue is poking out of the corner of his lips as he struggles to bend the computer to his will.

".............OK.....I can do this.........CUT!........"

He flicks to a new tab in Firefox. Positions the mouse.....

"..........PASTE!........YAY!!! I did it!"

He does a little dance of victory around his squalid bedroom.

"OK. Only another 85 words to go and I got that fucker nailed....."

You just won't let it go, you attention seeking wanker

'grats, Rory - this is easily the most intelligent, least dull post I've ever seen you make. It's almost perfect - only one word spoiling it...

Let me ask you this.
If you weren't in said archive, would you make such a fucking fuss?
Are you just doing it for the online attention?
What's missing from your life that you have to spend so much time grasping for online validation among a bunch of needy, socially awkward attention seekers?

It's almost as though
all of this was VERY IMPORTANT INDEED.

Dunno
I think badger performs a valid service. These days I go to the fail archive before reading the best of.

I would imagine that the stuff in the archive can lead to much greater amusement,
seeing as the best of will be filled with group therapy bollocks.

Awww, that's quite cute
I trust his mum's feeding him well in your fantasy..?

Does his mum come in and tell him off for jumping all over his Transformers duvet and breaking the bed?

The back and forth banter was amusing in the beginning
this is getting sad and sounding like an obsession though.

It seems unlikely that anyone seriously thinks Badger spends that much of his time doing the archive, particularly as most of the stuff in it gets sent to him.

The sort of stuff you are saying now is along the same lines, and to be honest far less amusing, and far more dull.

and anyway, who gives a shit? Most people are on here to liven up their otherwise dull day. Some people enjoy the posts, some people enjoy people mocking the posts. It seems unlikely that anyone enjoys people whinging about every fucking thing.

But then what would Legless post about?

he can make up stories about aliens flying out of his arsehole for all I care
as long as it is mildly entertaing

Obsession?

Nah. I rarely post on QOTW week these days - look at my recent postings - weeks go by where I don't bother.

But, occasionally, I like to kick the ants, troll the trolls. Badger and his merry men have successfully trolled the fuck out of QOTW and ruined it for many of the regulars. The mods have done the square root of fuck-all to stop it and so a load of regular, quality posters have fucked off.I think QOTW is poorer for it.

So no. No obsession here. But I do enjoy ripping the piss out of the Trolls and watch them scurry every once in a while.

Subtext - badger made me look a bit stupid once, I don't post as often

I read into it, thin skinned internet users get upset at person pointing out their nonsense as nonsense.

Terrible trolling, really

Hehe, more like
There was once a group of people who had a flair for writing and lots of stories, who the more they won QOTW, the more the only comments their stories would attract would be those of jealous, bitter types, feeding off each others enthusiasm for hating these posters and trying to out do each other in vitriol. After many, many weeks it got boring and they left.

It's a real shame. I like a good story.

This is why QOTW needs to go comment-free.
The attention seeking, group therapy wankers wouldn't get their validation and the good stuff would stand up on its own merits.

I don't think they have ruined it
it's not what it was sure, but that's not down to the trolls. It's not down to the mods to do anything, they aren't babysitters, this isn't mumsnet. But if people cross the line they get banned.

The root of my point is that posts like yours up there aren't trolling the trolls, it is feeding them, and in a feeble way at that.

I have nothing against you, I've very much enjoyed your stuff in the past. I don't tend to care if stories are made up or whatever (or embellished as I suspect yours were) but seeing a lot of posts along the lines of yours up there^ each week is what is damaging QOTW for me.

If the mods were to do anything to improve this place,
which they don't need to, but if they were, it'd be to ban Legless and all the other obssessive needy pricks who piss and moan every time someone takes the piss a bit.

You Mean
ban me for taking the piss?

BTW - You can't take the piss out of shite. Fact.

You do manage an awful lot of sweaty-fisted angergrams when you get riled up - any thread featuring you is likely to be at least 60% tedious, alarmingly-stupid drivel.

But of course, what better way to bemoan the ubiquity of moaning on QOTW, than delivering said moan via the medium of moaning on QOTW?

'LOLOLOLOL You fell for it I was trolling all along hahahaha!
I stopped posting because the site is shit, not because I can't maintain the web of lies any longer.'

Followed by

'WAAAAAAA The mods are letting the site run properly WAAAAAAAAAAA.'

Yes, you've certainly succeeded in some top notch trolling, here.
Without a doubt.
