Guest Lit Types

[Bobmi357]

The General Boarder - This strange creature must flame every ten minutes or they explode.

The Dramatist - This poster will spend days/weeks/years detailing every single aspect of their life, continually bemoaning their lot in life and totally ignoring any and all advice they get. Or they have an excuse explaining why they can't take that particular advice.

You can identify this type of poster by the fact that after a few weeks you wouldn't care in the least if someone broke into their home, scared them shitless and stole their computer.

The Alt: On online persona most commonly adopted for trolling purposes by people who lack the cajones (or ovaries, as it were) to say what they feel under their original username.

It's really tempting.

I posted this over in the BDSM Cafe the other day, and when I saw this thread, I thought y'all might appreciate it. I can recognize a lot of the posters. Can you?

Haha I love that, I posted it on the Gb awhile ago, I'm sure they created some new categories.

Oh God that is SOOOOO freaking true LOLOLOL

 

[DrHappy]

The Lazy Questioner / The Unhelpful Questioner: This person is easily spotted because the he/she writes a one word subject title called "Question", though this is occasionally replaced with the word "Help!" Since 98% of the topics in this forum are questions, this subject is extremely unhelpful.

The Math Geeks: These folks demonstrate remarkable anti-aging properties. They may claim to be 18 for four years running, or they may be 19 in April and 21 in July. Or they "forget" that they registered while underage.

Heh. Just encountered one of these on the Personals Board. 18 in September of 2004 and 19 right now. I must discover their secret!

The changlings-The older guys whose ages and/or marital status change in both directions throughout their posting history.

and my personal favorite:

Noor's Sillyman Who comes back as various alts, starts fun threads, gets everyone laughing and smiling, then disappears off into the mist again leaving yet more female litsers confused as to why their special friend has disappeared. Frequently leaves some vague message on their profile as why they left like "life has other plans." and somehow through all this Noor still likes him

The Moving Target (aka Inarticulate SOB): Asks a question, and in response to the replies, will always claim that the original question was misinterpreted, misread, and misconstrued, and that the question REALLY being asked was THIS question...which inevitably is completely different from the original question.

The "School's Out" Crowd: The name for the influx of n00bs during holiday breaks.

 

[DrHappy]

The Pig: Similar to the The Horny n00b. Usually a male, and appears to have an IQ matching a loaf of bread. Wanted to be a porn star, but couldn't fill out the application. He doesn't seem as interested in helping anyone as much he wants to make explicit and useless comments about anything sexual.

I would like to add that we would put up signs in the direction of the GB if only we believed they could read

Geez. Whaddya got against bread?

 

[Hand_Pict]

The 'odd one out'...

The Forthcomer or Incumbent....

The scary phenomenon where a web literate, post pubescent, non troll, non PMing, "scary sort of real person" infiltrates the cosy ground of the pre-formed group - without invitation, affiliation or desire to cause offence, trouble or general grief to the existing 'alpha' group..

But - in a nervous sort of way uses continued 'inverted commas', overuses exclamation marks and inadvertantly follows the sheepish behaviour of the other lower order minions hoping to gain favour with the higher orders while understanding his/her currently unapproved peer status...

In case there was a wholly non-derogatory category those not specifically defined above may be neatly pigeon holed into....

(Avoids pointless smilies and opts for safety of single brackets before slating...)

Be careful. You don't want to appear too post-pubescent, non-trolling, web literate, etc, or people *waves at quoll* will just accuse you of being an alt.

Welcome to Lit, BTW.

Cheers and thanks for a non condescending reply! Much appreciated - and I naturally bow to Quoll (I should have reverted to timid noob "inverted commas" - lol) and the other well respected members here.

Seriously though - thanks for not using that as a cheap opportunity to slate me.

I am well versed in most forum ettiquette - just not one of this nature (yet)



I'm still trying to decide whether this is a beautiful place to discuss my personal sexual advice & help along with my wants/desires and fantasies - or full of - eh - well all the categories described previously..

I'm sure I'll sort the wheat from the chaff as I go along.

Also - (again seriously) what a great forum - I'm still embarassed not to have know you existed!

Regards to you all

All the proof that is needed.
ALT!



Welcome anyway.

Oh did you know Eilan absolutely loathes


If you have read the comments in here about the GB they are true but they are also fun to poke and prod in times of boredom and lots of smilies really annoy some of them, (I always use them when there ).

HT and the Cafe are generally friendly and welcoming, even to obvious alts such as yourself. We tend to judge people by their posts rather than their join date or post count.

Oh yeh we h8 teh txt spk, srysly, k, thnx, bi.
