f13.net

I would like to take a moment and tell all of you, even geldon, that you all are a wonderful bunch of people and we admins of f13.net are very proud to have you all here.

No, I haven't been drinking.

We have a great community here and I hope we can continue to provide a place for people to exchange all ideas, even strange ones, related to gaming, politics, or general nonsense.  Feel free to share your love for each other in this thread.

In other words, thank you for reading f13.net.

You're not getting my Bud Light, Shockeye.

Bring the noise.
Cheers............

No I won't go easy on you in UT Shockeye.

Here, here. Feel the f13ness.

But like Vengeance said, get your own.

Fragfest, you wussy mofo, you. Say it with me, Shav: Head Shot. Killing Spree! *cackle*

I'm going to see Les Miserables tonight, but Wednesday night... it's on. Oh, and LordDax, you should show up too. Fragging the new guy sounds like fun.

Isn't it bad karma to be nice to each other?

Well, congrats everybody, you are a swell bunch of jaded yet strangely optimistic current and former gamers who seem to have big brains and real lives!

I love you all in the most non-gay sense of the word.

Yes, I love you all, you rat bastard pigfucking degenerates you.

Let's please leave remarks about the ancestry of my barnyard animals out, ok? That's a low blow--they are very precious to me.

So is oral sex in midget pr0n. What's your point?

There's no real love here until I see Boog and Schild hug.

(Would you still have made this thread if Father Furry hadn't been evicted?)

Yes, the f13 crowd is the best.  A mature community willing and able to discuss almost anything, from baseball and football to games to current events to politics to even the occasional boobies.

Other so-called "lum spin-off communities" should be taking notes.  Not to mention any names.

Spread TEH LOVE
(http://vcl.ctrl-c.liu.se/vcl/Artists/Rifka/My%20stuff/hug.gif)

Yes, I would have. Even with Bruce this is a great place.

I don't know if I'd call our niche little. But, I offer an Aibo willing to give you each a hug. I'd hug you all myself but I don't want any of you touching me with your cheetoh hands.

Personally I think someone should code something so that when ever BSW gets banned from one board he automatically gets reinstated on the other one. I'm generally indifferent towards what he posts, but one of my daily highlights has always been watching others over react to him.

That said, I lub you guys and I lub the daily distraction you give me from doing real work. Even when you start talking about stupid shit like baseball.

(http://www.jeffwillet.com/group_hug.jpg)

Grief image?

What?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, steel wool STAT!

I'm not sure if I should be honored or worried that I got special mention.

As I've mentioned on my blog of unabashed inferiority before, I seem to have an unnatural fixation, even addiction to posting on F13.  As best as I can manage to decipher it, it's because I consider you people peers.    That this still applies, despite my occasional banning and insistence on my IQ resembling that of your average rutabaga, is both an eternal mystery and potential confirmation of my rutabaga capacity conformity.

Love you all... no hate you all!  Love! Hate! Love! Hate!

Bah! I'll stick to the Lucasarts Mercenaries (http://www.lucasarts.com/games/mercenaries/main.html) PS2 demo.  The artificial life forms manning the supply choppers that drop me boxes of deadly weaponry clearly have an open relationship of everlasting love paved with easily understandable virtual mercenary currency.

Ah in the moment of love,

Meso comes out with the extreme hate.

I hate you sir, I hate you so much.

Just so you know, Corp predates lum the mad.

And the Morlocks have a closer community than anyone not an actual cult.

I really have no idea who that leaves.

Isnt it funny how some times some very positive feelings can ceom from some thing that was based on negitivity and hate? But then I guess the hate was baised on love.

Fuck, im confused now. And I cant get that picture out of my head. Damn you Mezo.

I still think you should run Onslaught.

(http://www.7mph.com/test/block.jpg)

Oo, I didn't notice firefox can do that.  That rocks.

[Edit: dumbass!  who doesn't love water cascades?]

I didn't mention birthdate, fuckwit.  (Wait, I won't call you a fuckwit, this is a love thread.)  I didn't mention birthdate, friendly cowpoke.  If the length of time a community/civilization has existed translated into quality, Iraq would be the most kickass theme park resort spa in the world.

America, on the other hand, should still be a developing country at less than 250 years old.  But look at us.

Interpret how you will.  I'm hungry and not getting much blood to the brain.

I am too homophobic to express any love in this forum for anyone other than Signe since rumor is she is a she.

Ahh to hell with it! Group hug!

I am hot fem irl.

I'm sorry, let me translate to stupid.

Corp isn't a lum the mad splinter site. It was there first. Not popular, but hey. More an excuse to get Pop into E3 when he was underage.

The Morlocks ARE a Lum the Mad splinter community, but they are closer than you. Or anyone really. So they have no lessons to learn from you either.

And the Morlocks are the last real Lum the Mad splinter site. You guys?

Are not a Lum the Mad splinter site.

Nor did I or the staff ever claim to be. Don't police our users and don't police us. Thanks.

Clarification only.

I love you guys like I love love itself.  

Also, just to help turn this cozy love-in thread into a pedantic hatefest: this is an LtM splinter site.  The fact that cozy love-in threads frequently turn into pedantic hatefests here is strong evidence of this fact.

Did I miss a full moon or something?

It would take an amazing mind to believe this is not at least in part a LtM spinoff. The community for instance is mostly either from LtM originally or from a LtM spinoff. And corp is a LtM spinoff. You can argue it wasn't originally, but it became one in its current incarnation when the community split.

btw, I love you guys too. This is currently the only online community I'm a real part in. I've treid other places that specialise in certain things but it just isn't the same.

To show my love, I have changed Derelict to Foozle. It was "random_npc_001" for about 3 minutes, but that was a bit cumbersome.

You only get experience by whacking foozles of your same level.

There's not enough content at my level. Everyone else is either too n00b or too catass for me to gain experience from. I count 2 people my level, that is clearly not enough. You need to put in some random mobs for my level so I can grind up to the others.

It's the New Year and it really is time to put our differences aside and resolve to be better people.  It's the Paelos thing to do.

I love you, Boog.

Which translates further, into an ancient hieroglyph:

(http://www.buzzlife.com/forums/images/smilies/jerkit.gif)

Funny how much the torch that Lum tossed aside gets thrown about with passion still today.

I appreciate the candor and humor that everyone here seems to spill on the floor.  The place reminds me of the conversations I would have at the punk bar in college before the band hit the stage and the music became to loud to think.

Under the homage to furniture that seems to be going on around here, I think I am the table lamp that gets left unplugged.

I'm fun, good at games, but only around socially on special occasions. The rest of the time I'm holed up somewhere alone.

I'm a card table.

I guess it wouldn't be right if this thread didn't devolve into a flamefest.

I knew it!

(http://www.ohiopottery.com/mccoy/store/images/smiley.jpg)

Give this man a furniture title!

And this is where you stop. A bunch of people read ltm. Good for you. You have nothing to do with ltm. You were not part of what made ltm. You are a Waterthread splinter site. Which was a P2P splinter site. Which you could call a SND spliter site, but SND was well and truly dead before it came out and neither Bob nor Angel had much to do with SND. After a certain point you have to accept that you've moved beyond the past chief. Now, the Morlocks? Lum was actually still writing about game news when they made their little community in a community. You people? Have no history.

I don't remember most of you bastards. Half your staff didn't know who lum was when they started.

You are a ltm splinter site....because you say so?

And I'm sorry, but you can't retroactively make someone a legacy site. Corp was there first, it was always updated, the fact when Waterthread went tits up it seemed like the only option for some people doesn't magically make us the next link in a glorious chain leading back to lum.

Enough  Boog. Get off this tangent, NOW. We are what we are and that is all that we are. We are Popeye. We do our thing, you do yours. That should be enough. This corp/f13 shit ends NOW.

Coming up in our next hour:

More things that don't matter!

Maybe we could a family tree starting with Ltm to the splinter sites. Then we could all hold hands and sing songs.

No we don't. All this splinter site talk is nonsense and goes nowhere. Lum's site was what it was and its time has passed. f13.net is its own beast now as is corpnews.

(http://public.logicacmg.com/~photoclub/images/kieron_kindelan/deadtree.jpg)

Gather 'round, everyone!

Ok, I drank a lot back then and don't remember what the importance of Lum the Mad was... something about EQ?

Please don't ban boog, I need the laugh he provides in threads like this.

Wow this is really scary, I have shakira playing in my left ear and mozart playing in my right.

I can't decide whether or not to answer this because I honestly can't tell if you're joking...

I am a splinter cell.

Joking.

I have no intention of banning Boog.

Good. Besides, why ban Boog when you can ban HRose (again)?

I can't remember a person in the community worth an insta-ban after an abscence. Really, it seems that certain people start off ok then slowly devolve into ban-worthy over time. It's also highly amusing to watch the slow march towards a bannage pattern that some have.

I was wondering, would Boog die if we all showed him kindness, like some demon of hate from fantasy? Not that I have anything against Boog personally, but comeon, that would be so cool.

*thinks kind thoughts of Boog*

Did it work?

I love you all.


Except for you, yes you, on the left, yeah, you motherfucker. I hate you. Die.

Everybody has to do it. He's like Tinkerbell in that regard.

Oh, if only I were still alive!

(http://mu.ranter.net/uo/hatesmall.jpg)

:(

I love lamp! I love... lamp.

I'm completly indifferent to most of you. Which works out well, since I'm sure I'm off all your radars as well.

Though this recent round of avatar changes had me all confused.  I'm completly blown as to who's who now that Soukyan has lost the Alizee.


Edit- I knew I mispellt sometink.

A sad day indeed. I'm just flagrantly trying for a title other than Foozle. Alizee (god bless her sexy little hind end) shall return Soon™. ;)

Hey look you got your wish.

It's true what they say. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Uh-oh.  You people were supposed to be thinking kind thoughts about Boog, not Lum!  Now look what you've done!  :(

First Jerry Garcia, now Lum.  Who next?  The comic book guy?

I'm glad we have someone with such a tangential grasp on reality like Boog to clue us all in.

And I'm glad we have you to......I'm sorry, how are you a distinct personality again?

If you were renamed to "Random Board Poster 439" do you honestly think anyone would notice?

I didn't realize you put such weight in being an internet "personality." Says alot.

If you were replaced by a bot that randomly called people idiots, do you think anyone would notice?

It took me coming into #f13 and launching a tirade at you guys while you were AFK to post something like this, after schild made several public derogatory comments regarding "fluffer interviews" and insinuating that we even give a crap about being Slashdotted?

I'm sorry, but I will not believe this until I see an apology.

And yes, I do mean that.

I'm very sure that this would not have ignited anything had schild not made any noise over Corp getting frontpaged over f13.

It's very true: We do our own thing, and damn the consequences. It was mentioned that there's a palpable "they didn't let us into the club" sense coming from schild over some of this, and I agree with it.

In the long run, I'm more frustrated than anything else that the cause of the drama is petty jealousy over site hits. Are you getting CPM payments?

I didn't think so.

Both sites serve different audiences. If schild has a problem with Corp, he is more than welcome to take it up with me (rasputin@corpnews.com) and I will handle it, or move it on to Pop or 3SM.

More likely than not, though...it's not going to matter. Hits don't matter anymore.

Corp vs. f13? "Us vs. them?"

There is no "us."

Catch you guys on the flip side.

First of all, they were fluffer pieces and schild does not need to apologize for saying it.

This is all childish and as of this moment all bans placed against anyone from #hate or corpnews are gone.

If anyone from corpnews has a problem with us, we can all talk about it in a mature way.

And let's try to get this thread back to love, ok?

I dunno... the corp invasion kind of makes me realize how much we really SHOULD love f13.

Bringing in the negative to highlight the positive.

Brilliant!

Did someone call?

I was actually about to make a post about how any second now Rasputin would show up and start whining, but decided not to incite anything. Ah well.

I think Boog and Rasputin, among others, have nothing better to do that scour the internet looking for places they can get all huffy because someone mentioned them.

And yes, the "internet personality" thing is hilarious. There is a Boog on every discussion board in the universe. Not that it matters. Being an irreplaceable internet personality is more bad than good IMO.

(http://www.johnshakespeare.com.au/3d/images/bunny.jpg)

No more love!  It always ends in tears.

Well that's freaking despressing.

No, having a personality. As a human being. You don't.

Margalis has "crazy liberal douchebag" at least. It's something.



What about posting on corp under another name bitching? Does he have to apologise for that?

Or for saying that we sent in the story to slashdot ourselves for the hit? Or acting like a petty shit in UT?

Pretend we are the badguys here. Really.

If being an exceptionally boring, one-trick  pony qualifies as a "personality," I'll pass.

Ok, I'm going to say this once and hope I don't have to every again.

Some of us have various issues with other websites. The proper place to take those issues up is with those websites and the people who run them. Taking swipes at them from other webistes is not the appropriate or right thing to do and I will do my best to discourage that sort of thing. If you cannot access said webite in order to discuss the issue at hand, you can leave those people a PM on this website if they have an account or a thread can be created here and those that run the other websites can be invited to take part in the discussion. Othewise, keep it to yourself.

And now, for some love.

I was not aware you were representing Corpnews. I don't think they realize it either. I will give you a pass because you have not yet read my LAST post on this subject. This "petty shit" as you call it it coming to an end. Please let it die.

You say as if I you had the option, and if I was boring you wouldn't be talking to me.

Logic, a beautiful thing.

Boring and aggravating are not mutually exclusive.

This thread is touching me in my bad place, now.

The leather cushions?

(http://www.grcco.org/pictures/litter.jpg)

I, too, am fonder of puppies.

So it's not that you are talking to me because I bore you, it's because I bore AND aggrivate you.

Yeah, that makes your point much better.

Where's that exactly?


The love part of this thread is boring: Here's a real Lum splinter site (http://www.brokentoys.org).
To bad the guy who wrote it has apparently passed away.

Shut the fuck up already. Is there any content to your posts? No. Don't post again until there is some. Jesus Christ, you make everyone around you look like a shitweasel. You MUST stop as per Shockeye's instructions.

aggravate



Because really, in the end? I'm a people person. ;)

See?

THAT was helpful.

Now you're starting to get it.

There are no "bad guys" in something this trivial, just stupid and annoying guys.

And I'm not that liberal, although that's a different discussion.

"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies posters were singing bitching about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing bitching about something so beautiful idiotic, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it"

Shawshank is a great flick.

Btw, if you really loved us you'd check out Pocket Kingdom and click the ads. I know many of you have already bought the game on Haemish's recommendation (and I'm pretty confident you're all having fun besides the inventory issue). Just saying. A click a day keeps the web site this way.

More ads please (wow, can't believe I said that). I'll click, but I'm not bothering with the N-Gage. Good game or not.

Ditto. Any chance for an Amazon link? I buy shit there all the time; might as well cut you kids in on some of the phat lewts.

Or Newegg, or Buy.com?  Game looks nice, but I hate cell phones.

(A cell phone that takes pictures?  How nice.  How about a cell phone that fucking works?)

I'm back!  And I feel the love.

What's the over/under for Triforcer's stay?

Didn't work. One more theory debunked. Oh well.

I shall google up something cute for the masses...

....

Too lazy. It's the thought that counts though, right?

Am I too late to share the love through cats?

(http://www.cenara.com/users/ce00367/images/KITTY.JPG)

Oh look!  It is Triforcer!  Hello Triforcer!

Ah, a cat that knows the simple pleasures of life. Smart kitty.

Holy crap.

I leave for a month, and come back to find The Great Bane of Great Danes banned, and a thread where fully half of the posts don't drip with patronizing bile.

I ... I don't know you people at all.

I missed your avatar. Neverhood 4ever!

Brng the noise.
Cheers............

Wow, we should be passing around some "Fags up threads better than Geld" titles for lots of people in this thread. Because really, this thread couldn't be more fagged up if Liberace himself came back from the dead and did a one-man rendition of The Wizard of Oz as written by a Haight Ashbury drag queen on a bender.

Azumanga Daioh.

What do I win?

A trip to a psychiatrist to help handle that pedophilia issue?

Edit: You know what? Scratch that. You aren't allowed to talk unless you have useful input. k? Thanks.

I suppose in the next life, I will get the whole Japanamation thing ... because in this one, it all just sails right over my head.

I think you should probably just be happy for that and move along.

I agree. I try to spend this lifetime steering clear of all things Japan. Games are the obvious one I can't avoid. Cartoons, however, I can.

I'm not into it at all, i just randomly came across it and thought it fit this thread... somehow.

But no, japanimation and its fans can suck my ass.  And stop calling it anime, you geeks.

Actually, I believe Lore's Geek Hierarchy has people calling it "japanimation" as geekier than those who call it "anime."

http://www.brunching.com/geekhierarchy.html

I'm just saying.

I call it "crapanimation" but then I'm sort of an artistic elitest.  I'm also one of those strange people that thought this guy (http://www.warhol.org/default.asp) was an idiot too.  

I guess this is my admission to having no taste.  Personally, I just don't get the whole anime fascination.  It's almost like a fettish.

I agree, there are definitely a lot of people out there who are into anime just because it's anime.  Quality of art or story don't come into play for them.  Sure, there are a few out there that are good, but the vast majority are crap.

Here's a hint. You were right about that guy.

As a huge nerd (see avatar) I must say not all anime is bad.  Some is even good.  Just avoid anything where the protagonist is a child or teenager, and you're weeding out 50% of the garbage right there.  It's like anything else.  The majority of it is crap, some of it is well-written with good characters.

Yes, well that's true of everything. Most of everything is crap. But the best Anime is quite good.

I can see people liking Anime in general, because it has different sensibilities. A different overall art style, different stylistic conventions, often wacky sense of humor, etc etc. It also provides some things you just won't find in the US otherwise.

Rurouni Kenshin
Love Hina
Cowboy Bebop
Naruto
Anything by Studio Ghibli
Tokyo Godfathers
Ebichu
Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu
Hunter X Hunter

The three highlighted at the end are EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD and even most of the "anime fans" haven't seen them. I worked in an anime store - the fanbase made me despise 90% of the anime out there. I've seen about 200 series - many by choice, many not by choice - and an equal if not larger number of movies. I've distilled the entire phenomenon down to the 9 items above (18 if you count the 9 Ghibli movies as seperate).

I thought Grave of the Fireflies was excellent, but I don't know if that qualifies as anime. Just good filmmaking.

Anime is really just animation from Japan.

And people wonder why it's crazy as fuck most of the time.

Personally the artistic style of anime appeals to me, but every anime I've seen has everything way overdone. People flipping out because something small went wrong, or running around crying because someone called them a name. Then the extreme drama of everything, I once saw an anime where an assasination was so full of vanity shots, slow-mo's, introspection, and view swapping that I just left the room right then and there. I mean jesus, talk about overdone.

I'm willing to not lay down judgement on ALL anime, but I haven't seen anything I like. I also haven't seen anything in Schild's list, but I'm also not about to go out of my way to see something I so far haven't liked.

Thanks for reminding me schild, I still need to go hunt down the second half of Jungle Wa Itsumo.  

I think it actually got liscensed for American release, although I don't know which company has the balls for that.

My favorite scene from every anime ever:

Clueless girl: Something naive!
Group of friends: No, you're misunderstanding the situation!
Clueless girl: But that means...
Group of friends: Right...
Clueless girl: Something equally naive!
Group of friends: Gah! <drops appear on heads and all fall over>

FTFY

Jungle Wa fucking Itsumo? You're kidding right?

Also, the only Ghibli Studio piece I've enjoyed is Graveyard of the Fireflies.

100% digital love. (http://www.kittenbreak.com/)
