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.
Gotta go, I'll check back later!
Lurker does not participate in normal forum discourse, but he's out there...watching, reading every message. Generally, he is quite harmless. In fact, his silence usually reflects a natural reticence rather than any sinister motives. He is content to let the other people haul the conversational freight and, if a fight breaks out he will observe quietly. Occasionally, however, some mysterious impulse drives him to de-lurk and attack. Other Warriors regard his unexpected assault as an ambush, and invariably turn on him savagely. But Lurker seldom sticks around to fight it out, rather, after a brief exchange, he slips away, never to be heard from again.
I posted the Cyber Sisters over on the other site. These are hysterical.

Netiquette Nazi is in control and she does not tolerate backtalk. The guidelines for every discussion forum are clearly posted and she demands obedience. If any of you sniveling dogs break the rules or deviate from strict observance of netiquette you WILL be punished. |

I'm a Republican Poster because I know and understand that sound economical policy make Cents enought to pay the Bills.
I am proud to claim the title of WEBMØØSE ... there is no thread that couldn't be pepped up by adding messages referencing møøse, cheese, tin-foil, or quotes and/or pictures from Monty Python, Looney Toons, or the Blues Brothers.
Der Elite Møøsenspåånkengruppen ØberKømmååndø (EMØØK)
It's a possibility...but I won't name names...LOL! :)
Was looking for a reference to Grampas. Only found this one, for Toxic Granny :
Warriors often underestimate Toxic Granny's fighting abilities. She can be very aggressive, and because of the deference paid to the elderly, not only does Toxic Granny easily attract allies to aid in her defense, but her foes are reluctant to employ their strongest weapons against her. Prudent Warriors avoid confrontations with Toxic Granny because there is no glory in victory and defeat at her hands is ignominious.
Very few if any here on FreeRepublic!
