NOOBWI: Wut if Teh Britush Impire Konkered Teh World?

ENOUGH!
That is all I have to say on the matter. These things may have been slightly amusing when they first started showing up. But it has long surpassed the point where any humor can be gleaned. From what I've gathered, these are just a chance for certain members of the board (often newly-joined) to drop all pretense of civility and act like incoherent morons.

Seriously, we do not need these threads. ASB is already dead, we don't need any of this crap in the serious discussion forums. ArKhan, I know you are capable of posting sane, coherent threads, so please stick to those.
For fuck's sake, if you're going to do a DBWI, don't fucking fill it with shit-tacular fucking spelling errors designed to send me into a deranged rage. I've already got you on Ignore because of this egregiously worthless crap, but I can't hide the fucking thread titles. For God's sake, have pity, you vile tosser!



Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

I think your ability to read has been compromised. Perhaps I'm wrong, and its merely your ability to comprehend simple English that has been sabotaged by forces unknown. I said quite clearly that while I already have Arkhan on Ignore because of this sort of frivolous rubbish, I cannot get rid of the thread titles. The thread titles themselves are more painful than stabbing myself repeatedly in the face with a knife.

So your suggestion not to read the noobwis is pretty damned dumb, since it suggests that the sole problem is that posters blithely click on clearly shit threads. We don't. The only reason I am in here is to point out that the mere experience of reading the title is exactly as pleasant as having my arm ripped off by angry Alsatians.

If Arkhan wants to contiue posting these utterly worthless threads, that's fine. I recognise that some people enjoy them. But I request, no, I beg on my hands and knees, that the Satan-inspired perversion of English displayed in the titles be changed back to something that won't make me want to cut through my own spine and sever my head from my body.

It isn't a vastly difficult request to grant, I hope you'll agree. :)

It is actually nothing like that. We aren't saying you shouldn't have fun with AH, or even avoid frivolous AH. (in fact, I like a good ASB TL..I'm writing one!) But this isn't AH. This is....garbage to be quite frank.

Nothing personal, I just dislike seeing a great site like this producing its own destruction. The Internet has allowed people from vast areas gather together around various hobbies (like Alt History) for the first time. Go do this internet meme stuff somewhere else. But if you want to write a TL? We'll be here.

Well, I'm sorry. I respect you're opinion, but unless Ian makes a rule that I can't, I'll keep posting them, because I think they're fun.

I've had enough of this crap. Once might be funny. The humor has faded away long ago and now it's trolling. Pretty effective trolling considering the number of people who can't stand it. There is a place for jokes in an alternate history forum but not when nobody's laughing.

Consider this a ruling.

Finally, no more l33t sp33k titles cluttering the boards. I mean, I just dont undestand WHY people do this n00b stuff. They can just make DBWIs now I guess for all I care, I have no problems with those.

Two can play at that game.

"Stop having fun, guys!" is about elitists who care more about victory than enjoyment. Since AH isn't competative, that's it out already, but there is a wider definition, inaccurate but common, of elitists who take a leisure activity to seriously to tolerate innocent games.

I enjoy AH and consider it leisure time. I have nothing against having fun with it. Good DBWIs, the rare well-done ASBs, and chat are all harmless fun. To take the XKCD trope namer as an analogy, they are the Rock Band to proper AH's rocking out.

NOOBWIs are physically destroying guitars, real or simulated, for base barbaric entertainment.

Hail IAN! Wise are his words!

While I don't agree with you're decision, I'll respect it. No more NOOBWIs will I post. :(

Thank you Ian, for the ruling. :)
