Let's be honest here bgn, I've provided a considerable amount more entertainment on here than you ever will.

Well, I'll give you credit for having me running off to find out what BGN meant.
I am assuming you were referring to me as background noise and not the board of geographic names. Which is odd, as background noise is something most people tend to ignore, rather than react to, unless you are the sort of person that shouts at passing traffic.

Which actually, would explain a lot.

Thing I notice about you
is you can't post a good response to qotw other than some weak piss-takery or posting a link to someone elses previous post.

( enoughblueskyforsailorstrousers, Wed 2 Mar 2011, 8:42, closed)

Well no.
But he did link to one of the three or perhaps four half-decent answers to the question.

It's not really Brayndedd or Zapiola's fault that qotw regulars seem more interested in whining about the horrible /talk invasion or wallowing in one another's misery than saying "lol" to an amusing anecdote.

I'm quite happy to put Brayndedd in a fail archive for any number of things ... but trying to drag qotw out of its current gloompit of self-pity and creepy stalking and back to its roots of amusing stories is not very high on the list.

/soapbox
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 2 Mar 2011, 8:56, closed)

I can sort of see your point, but unfortunately many of the people who wrote amusing stories have left because... well, we've all heard this story many times. And its fair to say that if someone linked to a story they thought was amusing and said 'hey look at this' the trolls would be all over them. But when its a troll that does it its suddenly ok.
( enoughblueskyforsailorstrousers, Wed 2 Mar 2011, 9:05, closed)

What makes Brayndedd a troll?
The definition of 'troll' on here appears to be 'a person from another b3ta board who isn't in our little qotw clique and doesn't play by our unwritten rules'.

qotw doesn't belong to the half dozen white knights who wander around approving and disapproving of stories and making creepy comments to any poster who might be a girl. It's a section of a public website with 80 odd thousand members. Many of whom have been here for longer than qotw and certainly for longer than it has been a threaded messageboard rather than just a suggestion box for a radio show.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 2 Mar 2011, 9:13, closed)

Yeah, you're right. Its obvious now you've pointed it out. Silly me. White knights, cliques, approving/disapproving. It all makes sense when you say it like that.
( enoughblueskyforsailorstrousers, Wed 2 Mar 2011, 9:23, closed)

Why does that make you silly?
And how does it answer my question as to why Brayndedd is a troll?

Why are you being defensive?
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 2 Mar 2011, 9:25, closed)

It was sarcasm... you claim there is a clique, but you guys follow each other around like flies. You claim we approve/disapprove but the very post in question is a post overt approval on a scale rarely seen on qotw (click i like this and post a comment in the replies is the normal procedure). And you want qotw to go back to its roots of amusing stories but there are several posters who just cant resist posting negative comments in response to any post that doesnt fit their narrow approval criteria (as opposed to skipping to the next post) - I dont direct this next comment at your per se, but if you want funnier posts on qotw, stop ripping the shit out of other peoples contributions. that way more people will contribute and hopefully there will be more posts you approve of. As for Brayndedd being a troll, ok, try another word if that suits you better, but I include him in that clique of posters who regularly post non constructive negative comments.

Yeah, I know you wont agree, and I know your mates will come to your defense and try to belittle me, but you asked so there it is. I'll leave you to it now as my fish is getting cold.

toodles.
( enoughblueskyforsailorstrousers, Wed 2 Mar 2011, 9:36, closed)

I was being entirely serious.
Sorry.

And in case you haven't noticed, both myself and Brayndedd did comment on that funny anecdote. And on the unexpected horse anecdote. In fact, I think I have commented positively on every single funny anecdote this week. All three or four of them.

As I said: I don't understand why you're acting so defensive and I still don't know what makes Brayndedd a troll here.

Enjoy your fish.

but trying to drag qotw out of its current gloompit of self-pity and creepy stalking and back to its roots of amusing stories
is this what you're trying to do? I must have misunderstood you guys. I tell you what, I like the idea - the glory days of a couple of years back are long gone and it's be nice to have them back. I'd also love to stop SVLA's stupid Accord things. They're fucking pointless and annoying, and are shit (however, I do respect his right to post, and he's come up with a couple of corkers in the past).

I miss the days of funny stories, based in truth, too.

My rules to good QOTWing - tell a story that is true (embellish if need me, but not excessively), tell it in an amusing way, keep it on topic. Job done.

There ARE too many needy fools, bitching about their sad lives. There ARE too many who get politically correct unnecessarily - there should be no holy cows. If we can laugh at cancer, we can laugh at trannies. A joke is a joke, even if it's distasteful.

What I dislike is unnecessary trolling - we SHOULD pick on shit stories that are blatant lies and are badly written. We SHOULD abuse idiots. However, we SHOULD NOT just get on people's backs just because we don't like their posts. Everyone has a right to post; if it's crap, raise it constructively then just ignore them.

Does that sound reasonable? If you're shit, and a liar, and not very good at writing, FUCK OFF.
If you're a pointless troll, FUCK OFF.

If you're posting things that are interesting and funny and NOT WHINY, COME HERE AND POST...

Maybe I think about this too much.

My stories were great, yours are rubbish, even though I very rarely write half a page. For someone that is just up for a laugh, that sounds like your going on the attack.

The FAQ's on the site say anything goes, just don't make it boring. Your constant bleating on about what B3ta should be about is easily the most boring thing on here by a cuntry mile and your replies sound like the very stalky weirdos you talk about, especially when you are replying in the same minute the OP has gone down. leave that refresh button alone and write something creative, interesting and funny.
