DaoK · Dec 24th, 2001, 01:39 PM

You should really not be a moderator TUrtle because you spammed a lots more than me ok and you still act like a kid who do not want no want to have more posts than you. All person who is near than you try to find a way to stop them. Sorry but I help a lots of person and if for your the post count is SO IMPORTANT for you PERSONAL life... you have a problem, CAN you simply stop checking that damn it variable ? All your life is based of vbforums...calm down man

**EternalKnight** · Dec 24th, 2001, 02:02 PM

Filburt, I laughed when I noticed the same thing...

Behemoth · Dec 24th, 2001, 03:04 PM

Sorry Arien, but I agree, give the guy a break. What does it matter if he waffles crap in here? Thats what a community is about.

Daok - watch you're not stepping on peoples toes and everything will be fine. Filburts got himself a reputation as a whiner anyway. I don't have a problem with him at all, but I hate to see people rub each other up the wrong way.

Behemoth · Dec 24th, 2001, 03:09 PM

lets be honest, im a waste of time in here. im not even a programmer, but im drunk enough to throw my weight around (and you REALLY dont wanna be in the way of that

)

**Arbiter** · Dec 24th, 2001, 03:11 PM

Arien, let him be. This is your first, and only warning. Heed it.

Behemoth · Dec 24th, 2001, 03:16 PM

Come on Ben, lets not make this sound like a protection racket, Daok obviously pissed him off. I'd just rather he chilled out about it.

**sail3005** · Dec 24th, 2001, 03:17 PM

Filburt, what happened to your posts?

You wanna piece of me too you hairy bastard? BRING IT ON!!!!!

*ahem* sorry. Please don't hurt me......

I've just tired of 2/3 of Flibburts threads being created solely to snipe at Daok. It's tedious.

Ok, maybe Daok posts complete shiite at times, and even I've pointed out that his posts are bollocks, but it's no reason to embark on a hate campaign.

Despite Flibburts sniping, Daok has been more use to us than him so it irks me somewhat.

Maybe Flibburt should pick on someone his own size.

Like me.

Behemoth · Dec 24th, 2001, 03:28 PM

True, Doak has been more use generally, although filburt was prepared to help me when I had a disk problem. Basically they're as bad as each other at spamming crap, but filburt does seem to be bitching at the younger / smaller members of the forum recently - theres a snidey remark about prog_tom in one of the forum feedback thread (yes I know prog_tom didn't get of to a great start, but someones gotta give him a chance).

**filburt1** · Dec 24th, 2001, 03:36 PM

Oh come on guys, it wasn't meant to be harsh, and he posted the link after I made this thread. Chill out.

**Arbiter** · Dec 24th, 2001, 03:38 PM

Then why is this thread still here?

Behemoth · Dec 24th, 2001, 03:39 PM

Just watch what you're posting Arien, you'll alienate people if you're not careful. It isn't like school in here.

DaoK · Dec 24th, 2001, 04:46 PM

Turtle all was ok but since I achieve over 3000 posts you changed the way to answer me and all. If you have soemthing to tell me, tell me in the PM but you do not have to yell in the ChitChat forum ? What you want to prove ? Sorry but I can show you some of your post when you were around 3800 posts, you answered most of thread... and you can not tell then all was very usefull.

I never said something when you do it, but what I do not understand is I am not spamming ? I helped the guys... like Behemoth it's not school, it's called Internet man. Well, instead of yelling in the ChitChat forum just use your brain and PM me ( and all other person who you think who can spam ). Personally, I know than you are 100% better than me in any language and I like when you help me, but I can not accept someone who think who will try to rule me when I did nothing.

Happy Christmas to all ( turtle included ).

I really don't think that's Irony. That's the 'Alanis MOrisset' version of irony. This is just simple hypocrism (which is probably not even a word) and contradiction. You're really hurting your quest for mod status with this sort of thing.

**numtel** · Dec 25th, 2001, 02:33 AM

they removed the post count on wave forum, i think it takes out a lot of rivalry

**rjlohan** · Dec 25th, 2001, 03:04 AM

Who cares? Rivalry is good. It promotes competition, which encourages success. The problem with spamming is having useless crap in a sensible thread, and it decays the quality of the 'services' provided here. Who cares who has the most posts? Plus, it gives a simple guide on who has good advice to give.

Let 'em argue.

**goudabuddha** · Dec 25th, 2001, 04:27 AM

i'd just like to point out that filburt never actually said anything that hateful. all he said was that it was ironic that doak still posted a yes/no answer right after he was asked to not post those answers.

i'd also like to point out that doak was simply answering the question asked in the threads and he did post the answers later.

what im tryin to say is who really gives a f*** it's christmas for cripe's sake

Seems to fit the definition for me:

The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect. See Synonyms at wit1.

Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs: “Hyde noted the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated” (Richard Kain).
An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity. See Usage Note at ironic.

**parksie** · Dec 25th, 2001, 09:08 AM

That looks like an American definition.

Irony (proper irony) is somewhat different, but I don't have an exact definition.

yeh, I agree

*reads carefully*

That's hypocrisy

Irony is something like this:

You break a date with your girlfriend so you can go to the ball game with the guys. When you go to the concession stand, you run into your date who is with another guy

**rjlohan** · Dec 25th, 2001, 09:27 PM

Or having a heart-attack while climbing a tall building to commit suicide.

Hypocrisy is not irony.

I'd put that under "My girlfriend is a slut" rather than irony...

Please explain how you feel that this definition of irony (a correct one) fits the situation you raised. I don't think you can.

**crptcblade** · Dec 26th, 2001, 01:13 AM

Quick irony check...

I was out jogging tonight, and I saw a sign that read 'Vandalism - $300 Fine'. The sign had been destroyed and knocked to the ground.

Is that ironic? It was, at the very least, pretty damn funny since I read this thread just before I went out.

**rjlohan** · Dec 26th, 2001, 02:37 AM

*EDITED* Yes, that is definately irony. It is also funny

That's closer to the normal definition of irony

**ubunreal69** · Dec 26th, 2001, 07:34 PM

have you ever watched someone say something normal, then everyone else took it as something else and totally over react on the whole situation cos they dont understand what the first person said in the first place ?? well, that is kinda what this is like, u guys r all taking what Arian said and making it into something everblown and bad. all he said is that it was ironic in his opinion. great. anyway, its over now and i just had to say something

anyway, i support Arian cos i have learn a lot of stuff from him. and he made TinyClock

(which i should download again cos i had to format @ forgot to back up some stuff)

Anyway, I'll shut up now.

ME!

**filburt1** · Dec 26th, 2001, 07:35 PM

Thanks, at to put some closure to it...
