Fuck. Now you've all gone and ruined the facepalm.

[Kwinnie Bogan]

On behalf of everyone who's made the observation.

The facepalm was a legitimately powerful symbol, and now.. ..through the mass misuse by every cocksucker within 35,000 klicks of here who takes themselves so seriously that they think everything that is in disagreeance with them warrants the use of such a symbol.. ..it has lost all of it's proper meaning entirely, and is nothing more than just another trademark of a self righteous shitbrick.

Now would be an instance where its use would have been justified, but it's been "vruined".

I prefer the Captain Picard brand of the facepalm.



I have nothing to contribute to this thread.

[Fish]

Agreed...but there's always going to be that one smilie that everyone over-uses...

First it was
Now it's and
What's next? ? ? ?

This is why my facepalm is much more effective.
It looks something like this.


Only the palm must touch the other persons face while pushing. Not quite a slap.

A grasp and then a push works too.

I know. It was because we only had a handful of smilies, all of which were pretty well broken-in. None of them were interesting or "new" enough to inspire this kind of abuse.

Everything is overused, thanks system (crap), rep system (crap), smilie system (crap too goddamn many ). There is too much of what totse didn't have here that it drives a man insane with all the options.

Giving food to the hungry could kill them.

[sdmf_from_hell]

Im in total agreeance with you KB.

I noticed it within a week of Zoklet's immigration and not once have i seen facepalm to be suitable to the post or disagreement put forth.

It's only a symbol used for when someone is losing an argument and its the only thing left in their arsenal.

facepalm has lost all meaning.

[-SpectraL]

The proper term is actually ruint, pronounced r-oo-nt. "The face-palm smiley was ruint by the kids."

[jackketch]

It's a HBtard 'thang'. Their command of written English is so poor that the only way they can communicate emotion in speech is by using illustrations. Compare posts of say, JJ or JC with those of someone like SotB, DaGuru or -Spectral who can express biting irony, sarcasm or humour with one short exquisitely formed sentence....the HBtards find anything more than "U R GAY" impossible to express without at least one 'purdy pick-chor'.

The "Dick And Jane" school of posting, the "LOOK! DICK! LOOK!, SEE FUNNY MAN. SEE FUNNY PICTURES" method.

You thought that European school systems were failing? Your average HBtard still has to say the words of each post aloud when reading.

[NTP]

Man!! That makes me a little sad, what if you were that guy? (girl) I would definitely muder/suicide.

This is exactly the reason many good posters are leaving by the train-load... TheAtomizer, Caeser, SoTB, Meta, DaGuru, Oddballz194.. the list goes on and on... you're probably the last of about 10 worthy posters left here... the last of an endangered herd really. It had nothing to do with anything more than morons making non-content posts, as you already know. Save a Jackketch and a Greyfox today, people, before the whole entire species disappears into the mist once and for all.

Surely the general intelligence level of posts depends on the forums you frequent? On totse and here I pretty much avoid/ed HB/SG because of the kids that post there. Really, what do you expect?

Yes.. that's a lovely pipe-dream, but the reality of it is, once festered, these non-content posters spill out into the conversational forums, and the aedminsitration tolerance is apparently pretty high for it... too high for most. That's been the problem with a lot of the senior users here.

I only see two names on your list that I would consider to be quality posters; and even then, I wouldn't expect anybody to cater to them. I could understand if people found something better to do with their time, but they're simply choosing to waste it elsewhere.

During the period when Printed Matter was removed from totse and when I was removed as a moderator, I got a couple of straight up reminders that contributing to these things can be a waste of time.

Not only did the administration remind me that my effort was in vain, but, and I assume, a group of users did as well.

Why would anybody choose to get more 'political' or hold onto high expectations? Not everything calls for Rust-style posting, thank God.

Has any of this stopped me from contributing in a meaningful way, while still keeping a relaxed attitude? I don't think so.

Stop trying to derail the real issue. Nobody was even talking about "Rust-style posting". I was talking about brain-dead moron-children speading their completely worthless idiocy and shit-drops across conversational forums. Get with the program or GTFO.

And how do children learn? Certainly not by having people that are too full of themselves desert them. Don't forums exist for a sharing of information? You're better versed in the variety that makes up internet forums, but I'm rather sure that they exist for a sharing of information. Of course, there are going to be people better versed in their topics than others or willing to put more time in, but that's their choice.

By the way, I like your Bruce Lee quote. The man wrote a handful of interesting books.
