fan boys

like seriously mentally unstable fan boys who will die defending their favourite product even though everyone around them is pointing out the horrible flaws in the product with plenty of evidence to back them up

Everyone that disagrees with me.

Also, all of this wacky Internet speak and the posting of silly images as responses.

I enjoy annoying people on the internet. :) Nothing really bugs me though, apart from youtube comments, but I don't read them anymore.

Really, both sides of that tend to be unbelievably annoying. Often times the horrible flaws that folks point out are entirely subjective, putting their efforts to "enlighten" this crazed fan on the same level. Happens more often with games themselves, rather than hardware. Only the person defending real hardware flaws tends to come off as annoying.

I also see what you did thar!

Didn't see the other thread until after I posted that. :P

Morons

No Seriously I hate morons on the internet that are your basic trolls, flamer types, etc... . These people offer no useful criticisms and instead decide it's best to denounce a person pelting them with virtual rotten garbage because they take offense to someone and/or their works. It's rather pathetic really and the thing that truly svcks about the internet is it really can't be regulated. Only now are they cracking down on the trash known as the child pr0n people, but even then those scum are getting around things by hosting their services on servers outside the US.

svcks that on the internet you can have a website for helping people out and on the other end you can have people hosting sites to promote genocide.

-Intelligent trolls.
Meaning people who like all other trolls only exist to annoy, but they also possess the verbal skills and logic thinking to give their 'opinions' the air of validity.
This forum has a few of those, as does every internet community.
What annoys me the most is when people dont recognise it as trolling and start parroting the 'opinions'

-People who write one sentence or even mono-syllabic posts, often in leet.
Examples: "inb4lock" "umadbro" "no" "deal"

-People who mindlessly parrot a marketing line, a line from a rule book or manual and then think its the be all and end all because they parrot something written down.
Example: "Todd said"

-Fundamentalists. People unable to understand that a given law or custom is not universal or that their lifestyle isnt the only right one.
Examples:
People getting extremely upset about a discussion of something perfectly legal for the discussers but illegal for the protestor, for instance downloading movies for free wich is perfectly legal where I live but not in the states.
Bible thumpers.

Recently I find myself using IE at home more often than usual, because the other browser's (both native and plugin/extension) ad block feature works too well, making too many websites broken.

Noisey adverts and people who spend more time criticizing games than they do playing them. People who spend hours daily complaining about a game they don't even like really irk me.

? Extremely thin-skinned whiners. When a person would comment on a video "did he died?" when someone, say, falls off a skateboard, there'd be plenty of people whining about it. Obviously it's a joke so either ignore it, laugh along, or move along.

? Junior / Closet moderators. Regular posters (as in the same ones who aren't mods) constantly posting "this will be locked" "this is against the rules".. gotta love certain sects of a community where people act as police toward each other, but I believe this is done in attempt to brown nose one's way to modship too. This isn't the only forum either.

? Web admins who complain about Adblock. Sorry cuz, it was inevitable. Personally I don't feel like getting the [censored] scared out of me having my speakers on when browsing random website with someone shouting that I can win a free iPad.. merely because a website needs ad revenue to run. Perhaps doing ads a little more subtle like Gmail instead of the intrusive and annoying ones that people just might block might be a good start, no? Adblock is here to stay, I'm going to keep using it, and if web admins don't like it, time to be more innovative then huh?

? Traffic shaping / port throttling. Look, ISP, you already get my money and now you even get away with monthly bandwidth caps, all because you lazily wanted to avoid upgrading your infrastructure to something more modern and continue banking off a 10+ year old system that's obviously either pushed to it's limits or not as efficient as other methods. However, trying to slow my connection down for certain websites or throttle certain ports and further hinder the connection? Bite me. If someone's doing something illegal, eliminate their service. If not, leave it the [censored] alone.

Probably more but kinda getting bored with the topic. :P

Long walks on the beach. Watching the sun rise. Building sand castles. The smell of bacon in the morning. :huh:

The only thing that really annoys me is the fact that I haven't received my millions of dollars for allowing some prince access to my bank account. I think I might have messed something up, though I was pretty sure I followed all his rules. I gave him all of my personal information (so that he knew I wasn't a crook of some kind), gave him a list of my deepest, darkest fears (he wanted to get to know me better as a person), and then sent him 7 blank checks with only my name written on them (that way he could verify the handwriting and make sure I was who I said I was). Worse of all, it seems that someone has gotten into my account and was withdrawing cash left and right. I can really use that money now. :sad:

YouTube: I'm getting really annoyed at them, they keep changing their sight and it's getting to a point where I can bairly use it.

Spam: I love spam that you get at the store but not online in my emails...thank goodness for the spam guard.

Chat Room Cold Shoulder: On another VG fan sight I belong to I'm getting abit annoyed that when I want to talk about something I get the cold shoulder treatment---and I've done nothing wrong. I can understand if I constint flame, troll or spam an idea muti-times. But I don't (I did that once here many moons ago but in the TES forums and because of that I've learn what to and NOT to do on-online forums ).

Both of these pretty much sum it up for me.

Well, now that I think about it.

This is probably a more accurate statement.
