I think Worst Forums Ever is a terrible name for a forum and I think that Worsties is a wholly embarrassing term for the people who dwell on said forum. I like this forum, but really, I can't see why this seemed like a good name to anyone but prolly whoever came up with the name.
-
well, if we didn't have Worst Forums Ever, then we wouldn't be able to have the Worst Podcast Ever! :lol:
-
You could rename it something better. That implied that it wasn't the worst podcast.
-
Also, I don't know about you, but I thoroughly enjoyed some of the comments that the WFE badges generated at MAGFest.
-

You don't say. Here I just thought everyone the forum had severe self-esteem issues.
-
You're a clever guy.
-
...has anyone, anywhere, ever actually referred to the community here as "Worsties"?
-
I'm awaiting the next forum collapse and just going with #Finalfighters.
-
...has anyone, anywhere, ever actually referred to the community here as "Worsties"?
Yes.
Spoilers: It wasn't me. Or Kazz.
-
We are the Worst Users Ever, or WUEs for short. Pronounced, of course, woo-ehs. Guttural, throaty, it just jumps off the tongue.
-
I'm fine with us not having an easy shorthand for our members because it discourages whatever horrible virus results in "Anons" or "Goons".
-
Wurst.
Ya buncha weenies.
-
That's punny. You're punny.
-
I just say "WFE people".
-
I say we're the scruffies. Who's with me?

If pressed, I call you guys "WFErs" pronounced "Wiffers"
-

:oic:
-
Confession: I actually keep calling it neo-pyoko.
Maybe I should start calling it neo-pyoko 2020.
-
I call people from here pyokos still, because it still sounds tons better than Worsties or WFE people or WFEers.
-
this thread needs a icon of a sausage
-
I just refer to everyone as the Sharks.
-
I just refer to everyone as the Sharks.
In all serious, I have referred to peoples here as Sharkey's. It doesn't really come up that often.

Brentai, your jokes get more and more obscure. Some day you will post something that nobody, not even yourself, understands.
-
I have no idea where that image is from but a quick properties check showed that Brentai's joke meant that he got my joke so then I understood his joke then Bongo Bill was like SLOOOOOOW DOOOOOWN.

-
And then it happened again!
-
Didn't we have this conversation before? Then I said "The Worst" and then people liked it then killed it with horrible puns?
-
We did. Apparently it wasn't killed hard enough.
-
I like the name.
-
I usually refer to you guys as Kazz, and Detonator, and Zaratustra, and Kabbage...
-
I usually just deny your existences.
-
Frankly, I'm glad there isn't a term that lumps me in with the rest of you jerkoffs.
-
Well, there is "you jerkoffs"...
-
"bunch of Internet people"
-
I quote Star Wars, myself. I think it sums you guys up.
-
Frankly, I'm glad there isn't a term that lumps me in with the rest of you jerkoffs.
I use the term "People who's penis I've seen"
-
I'm still saying "Pyoko". The avatars have changed since then, but we're all Link now anyway.

(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd145/Brentai/MSX_Campbell.png) (http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd145/Brentai/millertime.jpg) TIME PARADOX!
-
...has anyone, anywhere, ever actually referred to the community here as "Worsties"?
Yeah... that was me. It felt terrible but I refused to spend any time thinking about it.
-
I just call everyone by their name and rarely ever as a collective whole. If I do, it's 'people on WFE'
-
We're all sort of linked together, though. I think it'd be good for us to have some common name.
-
We're so insular that we never refer to each other in the presence of outsiders, so no. No name is necessary.
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd145/Brentai/nohintsforyou.jpg)
I can't take it any more! I give up! You've out-referenced me. Not that that's an especially big achievement, but.
-

This is true. When people ask me where I get my movie recommendations and awesome YouTube clips from, I say "Internet." When they ask where, I say "Internet."
This irritates people, for some reason.
-
Well, it is the Worst Internet Ever.
-
weefees
-
I've just been calling you guys Assholes, honestly.
-
We need new people. Perhaps if we were attached to an active website or something.
Which would bring up the problem of how we hate new people.
Of course we all hate the old people so it works out.
-
Diffusion of the podcast may lead to new recruits. Maybe it's a question of time now.
-
I'll get on actually posting more than once a week.
-

:oic:
-

:derp: yea maybe
-
I CALL YOU GUYS THE LOVABLE FRIEND CIRCLE I WASTE ALL MY TIME TROLLING
-
me too, actually
-
If the podcast really recruits anyone it'll be me. Which means they'll be 13. :facepalm:
-
If the podcast reall recruits anyone it'll be me. Which means they'll be 13. :facepalm:
Just tell them that your Mama avatar is actually holding a recently murdered child and that it's not a threat, just a promise.
-
I usually just call you all "my kids," which leads to adorable misunderstandings whenever one of you happens to accomplish something worth writing about and somebody else believes that it was done by one of my actual, nonexistent children.
But yes, there needs to be an active website attached to this thing before too long. No, I'm not going to be the one to do that this time. I've got other things going on, and I'm not Parish enough to maintain something else on the side. Maybe if I suffer some kind of incredible personal tragedy that drives me to live alone in the woods again for a few years. Which happens with enough regularity that it should not be taken as an invitation for Kazz or whoever to fly out here and kill my girlfriend. Seriously, don't fucking do that.
And I'm fine with Wurst, if only because it implies that you don't do much besides a lot of shoving of meat into intestines. Fags.
-
So a new The Mayor website? I'm game for that. If anybody with actual comedic talent wants to write 'em, I'll draw some The Mayor comic strips.

Daddy! :wuv:

I have tried to bring in some people but mostly they just are interested in Outer Heaven or the odd TF2 night, not sticking 'round for the boards or channel proper.
-
We've had slightly more fresh meat recently than in most of this communo-whatever's history, so I don't think there's much need to push it. We're all oddballs even among the geek crowd, so it's best to let people mesh in quietly by whatever weird method it happens.
I mean I'd personally like to talk to some other people once in a while too but I've got a very good solution to that: I talk to people somewhere else.
-
Well, the damn thing of it is that a flood of newbs, no matter how painful, tends to bring stimulation and longer lasting regulars. Mostly because they're a painful presence in the first damn place. Ideally, you kick the shit out of them and the better ones persist.
I haven't forgotten the first few minutes of finalfight. I kickbanned everyone who showed up, and of the ones who showed up again afterward, well, I slept with two thirds, and the rest want to kill me. On the whole I think that constitutes a wildly successful venture.
If Brent had a vagina it would have been a perfect score. Penis having motherfucker.
-
I don't know, TOO many nublets can overwhelm a place and ruin it. Seen that way too many times for my liking.
-
...is Worst People Ever too obvious?
-
I think the content-producers among us are already hard at work, while the rest of us will struggle if forced. We don't need much more than a front page that says "Here's what the members of this forum are responsible for," along with a list of impressive works. Simply writing articles and blathering into microphones like every other website won't get any attention; at least, none that I would want to attract.
Primarily, I don't want an internet stranger to approach me and go "Oh, you're with them? That place SUCKS," especially if I didn't do anything, sucky or otherwise. And as an ambassador of the community, it's bad form to go "Yeah, I know, we do suck."
Who among us is qualified to objectively determine a project's quality, though?
-
I don't even understand why we have to have "ambitions".
Why can't this place be what it's always been: A glorified gentleman's club, minus the (intentional) sexism, and occasional schoolroom.
IT'S JUST A PLACE WHERE A BUNCH OF STUFF HAPPENS.
-
Am I the only one hearing the voice of Captain Murphy in every Sharkey post in this thread?
-
I don't even understand why we have to have "ambitions".
We, the collective, don't. Some of us do, and a place where all of our works are showcased together is likely to bring each of them much-desired attention.
If you have no such works, you're free to ignore whatever is set up. It's foolish to pressure anybody into creating something; not even the creator will like the result.
-

..well not anymore :rage:

Good to hear. (http://brontoforum.us/index.php?topic=2264.0)
I'll be approaching select members within the week.

That's the idea, fignuts.

Sharkey will always be the American Itagaki to me. :8D:

So we don't want more SoraCrosses?
-
Actually, we need thousands of them. And we need them to be rich, and then we need to sell them things.

Sharkey will alway be Hunter S. Thompson with teeth for eyes to me.

I-I can draw too! Ask anybody!

We can sell them Kazz quote parodies on bumper stickers!
Cool story, bro. But did you do her?
Or one of my personal favorites...
Best way to get rid of the Witch is to run up to her with the auto-shotgun and shoot her in the face a lot of times.
This also works on hunters, smokers, boomers, tanks, normal zombies, and teammates.
-
That bumper sticker would cause car accidents.
-
Most Kazz bumper stickers worth having would cause car accidents at the very least.
I'd pay money for "Press Left to Suck My Penis"

thanks Brentai, I'm gonna be thrown out of my apartment if I keep pounding my fist on my desk laughing like that
-
Speaking of Brent's shoppery, does anyone have that EverQuest pizza bit kicking around? That came to my mind the other day and I'm still giggling for some damn reason. Probably the meth.
-
...it took me twice reading that to realize you're talking about something I did.

...when I was a kid I once got into a huge fight with my grandmother after waking her up laughing at something Brent wrote.
I'm fairly certain it was one of his Starship BoobyPrize stories. With Spork.
-
At least that one I vaguely remember.
The joke about Mr. Spork was that he was actually a spork.
-
Weren't those all written by some woman in Minnesota?

Yeah.
The crew gets a cameo in KS9, too.
