trollwatching report 2003 (Diaries)

By llimllib
Mon May 26th, 2003 at 01:03:16 PM EST

Sad news this afternoon for us trollwatchers, as Tex Bigballs will be leaving. He was one of the few intelligent trolls a-hanging around (say that in a John Wayne voice; it's funny, I swear). Unfortunately, I fear that the K5 ASCII reenactment players may be leaving with Tex. This makes me sad. Tex is survived by poor imitations like tacomacide and partykidd. Bank of (America|Nigeria) ATM also remains, and he's a step above those two, but I don't find him as entertaining as I do Tex. On the upside, cux has not been apparent lately.

Also, I must say that I haven't seen any good troll threads/diaries lately. Have you?

I am keeping the trolling tradition alive and well on k5.

It is common knowledge that I am the best troll of all time on slashdot, and I will soon be known as the best k5 troll ever. It is a glorious day!

But I just got a copy of "the real" slashdot front page when I was there. A brief glance at the source didn't show anything awry.

Racial, misogynist, homophobic, and ethnic slurs are neither intelligent, nor funny. Nor is mindlessly parroting limbaugh, in any other way, funny.

but slurs can be funny when they're not serious. If you don't think so, well, you're a stinking [racial, ethnic, and homophobic, but not misogynistic slur]. ha ha.

Where America is defeating the troll terrorists. Don't forget psychologist. He also left. The adequacy crew is mostly gone. Bigballs is going. Once turmeric decides to leave, it will be rusty all alone with a bunch of 16 year old schoolgirls playacting as a bunch of big fat nerds without lifes.

I guess they are leaving because K5 is becoming exceedingly boring.

Crapflooding did not really have a future anyways. In that aspect, it is very much like open source.

Trolls, all of you, kdot is bloody boring. It isn't worth it to troll it.

Mmmm, 16 year old schoolgirls. Who knows, maybe K5 mostly consists of my schoolmates. ;)

Do you mean "gone" as in "off their face on drugs"? True, jsm and Shoeboy seem to have wandered off. perdida left in a huff. Elenchos and RobotSlave fire potshots from their bunkers. pb, bc, dmg, gzt, gbd, spiralx, eSolutions, Rightmann and Abooey are all still here. Even the anti-Adequacy members of the THC (i.e. Trollaxor and Vlad) are still here, although OSM seems to have disappeared.

You seem to be confusing "leaving" with "not posting crap every 20 minutes". HTH.

partykidd is not a troll, he's just some dick that likes to moderate comments.

Truth be told I was running out of funny things to say anyways. I mean, you can only make fun of the chinese, women, and homos so many times. (Although bashing rusty really never gets old.)

Tacomacide is a pretty funny guy, honored to have worked with him.

Even if the ATM is in a slump, his slumps are still pretty hilarious, and I'm sure he'll come out of it soon.

But anyway thanks. I hope in my absence K5 will go back to being an intellectual powerhouse where people can discuss politics and infinite spheres without being made fun of.

so, how am I a troll? aren't trolls supposed to methodically plot ways to get people to debate them point by point? i just talk shit to sissies like you and get rated up by well adjusted heteros.

you are the one who is the troller.

Tex Bigballs (4.20 / 5) (#5)
by egg troll on Mon May 26th, 2003 at 01:17:05 PM EST

Sorry to hear that he was arrested for that Internet child porn. I had told him that if he used Freenet - like all the other pedophiles - he wouldn't have been caught. Sadly, Tex relied upon the closed-source Kazaa program rather than a Gnu/P2P app and is now paying the price.

Good luck, Tex. Don't drop the soap.

He's a bondage fan, a gastronome, a sensualist
Unparalleled for sinister lasciviousness.

I'm not a troll. Have a look at my diary and then say I'm a troll. I always (well, almost always) have something insightful and worthwhile to say.

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered trolling community when IDC confirmed that troll market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all posts.
