Weekend vanity... What kind of forum poster are you? (illustrated examples)

Flame Warriors ^ | N/A | some guy

[KneelBeforeZod]

mostly funny site... an artist who made drawings of a ton of internet forum posting archetypes....

2 examples to start you off, not necessarily residing on FR!:

Archivist

Archivist saves and squirrels away each and every discussion forum message. Do you remember having a bad day back in 1996 when in one of your messages you may have said a few things that were...well, perhaps a little...hasty? Don't worry, Archivist still has it and will post it to the forum if you begin to get the upper hand in battle. Archivist can be a very effective and fearsome Warrior.

Weenie

Weenie is a very sensitive guy, and it angers him that everyone isn't as sensitive as he. A soi-disant male feminist, he not only cares deeply about women's issues, he's concerned about poverty, people of color, gay rights and sea turtles. Weenie strives to be politically correct at all times and is ever vigilant against anti progressive attitudes. Weenie is always solicitous towards the oppressed classes, but will lash out viciously at retrograde brutes such as Deacon and Troglodyte.

[EveningStar]

X-cellent observation. ;)

[altura]

Major Downer: Likes to jump on threads like Day in the Life and make nasty remarks.

Prissy Pants: Is always first to point out that something has already been posted.

[Experiment 6-2-6]

Hey, (evil) Clown!!

Yers truely,

Bong

Is it just you or does this guy seem to babble on and on without making any sense whatsoever? Does he lurch from one non sequitur to another? Are you baffled by his obscure metaphors? Are there so many typos you think that maybe he was typing while wearing a catcher's mit? Can he really MEAN what he just said? What in the hell is hey talking about, anyway? Is this guy smoking something? Well, yes...in fact he is, and lightly tethered in orbit high above the Earth Bong remains far beyond the grasp of the even the most powerful of Warriors.

[Cyber Liberty]

Yes, they all sure are. Somebody moved all their links.

All our links are belong to them.

[cgbg]

The "Issues" type can be irritating even when I agree with them on their issue. :-)

[martin_fierro]

Feh be upon you.

I am the Zen Master!

< |:P~

[higgmeister]

WARNING!!! YOU MUST READ THIS!!!

All Small and MIGHTY!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Funny!

[BJClinton]

Big Cat all the way.

[cgk]

That was tough. I seem to be a cross between an archivist and an Eagle Scout. I had no problem, however, associating certain FReepers to various titles as I read through the entire list. ;D

[martin_fierro]

Er, Kung-Fu Master. You know.

[rwfromkansas]

OH crap, that is definitely me sometimes. Sometimes I come on FR just to let off steam and argue....and laugh at how serious people take my comments.

[colorcountry]

I've seen this guy a lot (in the mirror)

Ferrous Cranus is utterly impervious to reason, persuasion and new ideas, and when engaged in battle he will not yield an inch in his position regardless of its hopelessness. Though his thrusts are decisively repulsed, his arguments crushed in every detail and his defenses demolished beyond repair he will remount the same attack again and again with only the slightest variation in tactics. Sometimes out of pure frustration Philosopher will try to explain to him the failed logistics of his situation, or Therapist will attempt to penetrate the psychological origins of his obduracy, but, ever unfathomable, Ferrous Cranus cannot be moved.

bttt

Yuk Yuk

Apparently there is no joke too lame, too lurid or too inappropriate for Yuk Yuk, and she's absolutely determined to share with you every gobbet of stale drollery, every tired urban legend and every goofy web site on the internet. Yuk Yuk seldom contributes to any discussion, preferring instead to forward witticisms and bon mots culled from her voluminous archive. Of course, should other Warriors object to her off topic inanities they are accused of lacking a sense of humor.

:oD

[PBRSTREETGANG]

88 different categories?

(I guess I could be "The Counter".)

[The SISU kid]

Thanks for the ping!

For the record:

The SISU kid is a,

Kung-Fu Master/Strumpet/YukYuk/Big Cat

[Redcloak]

Another "Evil Clown".

[navynucmom]

Ping for later

[motzman]

Evil Clown is very quick with a joke, but his jests always have a barb. He has little patience for in-depth discussions and will often disrupt exchanges between serious forum participants by introducing irrelevant topics, fatuous quips, and offhand comments.

His greatest thrill is to taunt and humiliate weaker or more plodding Warriors with his snappy ripostes. Not a particularly powerful Warrior, Evil Clown will attempt to avoid defeat by accusing his attacker of having no sense of humor.



yep, that's me...
