Don't bother having a sense of humor on VGF

DELICIOUS POISON · 05-06-2008, 12:02 AM

It'll just get moved to an obscure forum.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 05-06-2008, 12:10 AM

I am offended. The meme forum is precious and special and not obscure at all. Why do you hate everyone on the internet? Why do you try so hard to hurt us. Why.

Metal Man · 05-06-2008, 12:18 AM

DEATH. PAIN. ANGER.

Actually, the meme forum is less obscure than this one.

That said, it would be the same topic in here, on a train, in the Gunjin, on a plane! With a hat, and a cat, and... ...etc.

Though it makes it a little hard to follow if it gets moved around a lot.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 05-06-2008, 01:07 AM

The reason why it was moved was made perfectly clear. Certain things are acceptable, but if you are going to belittle the reasons why people post in this particular forum in the first place, and mock their problems, I don't know what to tell you. Clearly, I don't know how to address it either, not in a manner that makes you understand that I'm not trying to target you, but help you understand why I'm concerned by such behavior.

I'm disappointed in you, AI. I guess I expected better. I won't make that mistake next time.

DELICIOUS POISON · 05-06-2008, 01:15 AM

I'm disappointed that your compassion extends into the territory of finger-pointing. Apparently a good-natured topic is offensively mocking the problems and concerns of others by existing.

I'm disappointed in VGF. I guess I expected everyone to be able to tolerate a nonsensical topic with a similar title. I will make this mistake again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

***ZeldaGirl*** · 05-06-2008, 01:17 AM

I never condemned the topic, simply it's placement. As mod of the forum, I don't see how I was wrong - I mean, I don't want people to feel discouraged to post because they might be mocked. The topic itself is fine - but, I simply asked that it not be in this forum.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not especially concerned by any of this (oh apathy, how I love thee), but that strikes me as hilarious.

Mostly because of the innumerable times people have harrassed a single person, thereby "discouraging" them to post. It's really funny that someone would take the stance of, "well this forum is different!", when the rest of VGF will shamelessly, and ceaselessly, mock people at any given time.

Amusement prevails!

Swordmaster Link · 05-06-2008, 01:27 AM

There is much venting going on.

DELICIOUS POISON · 05-06-2008, 01:28 AM

You know, I would have actually appreciated it if you had asked. Strangely, you didn't.

In fact, no one made any post whatsoever resembling "Hey, AI, are you mocking me/this/houses/cats/infirm otters?"! So, the assumption that I am being offensive is based on your own perogative.

I probably shouldn't go posting in such SERIOUS FORUMS, when I tend to take everything in a lighthearted fashion. But, you know, I take the forum's SERIOUSNESS in a lighthearted fashion, as well. It is not serious. Anything can be smiled at - in fact, I'd recommend it to most people.

Go! Be merry! Laugh in the face of lawyers!

Maybe yeah, that will happen. But it would be nice if there were at least one place here where people wouldn't have to worry about that.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 05-06-2008, 01:31 AM

What? No, no, you are mistaken, my good SML! I'm mocking things (shock and horror) and finding entertainment within every turn of events. I need not vent, much less at VGF, when no one really cares. Because that's the truth of it. No one actually gives a damn. Then we die! We all die! Flawless victory!

No, that didn't have any point. I'm just posting for the sake of it. I would probably be better off just adding numbers to my postcount through the CP, though. Hmm. To ponder, indeed.

It would be nice if that didn't happen anywhere- online, in person, through words or actions or anything else. That's not really how life rolls, but again, I'm not particularly concerned on any serious level. Beginning to wonder if I should, perhaps, merge all topics into one and throw it into the Mod forum, though. Seems no one bothers listening when I suggest the best course of action in situations like this, though. Not at all.

Maybe I should just delete the whole forum.

I certainly hope that's not your impression - because I really do care. Perhaps I care about everything going on here a little TOO MUCH - maybe that's my problem.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 05-06-2008, 01:36 AM

Perhaps not implicitly, but that's the general impression I've gotten from everyone and anyone. Funny how that works. >:]

As a quick aside, there's a big part of me that's wondering how a topic would be any less offensive (if it's taken that way) if placed into another forum. If someone's gonna be offended over a joke, it doesn't particularly matter where that joke is placed. Ah well.
