My introduction thread; ruined by idiots.

What a shit experience this has been so far.

So I’ve been wanting to join GBAtemp for a while now but always had a tendency to back off because a lot of the community in websites like these is annoying kids, abusive moderators, and just a whole lot of stupid people.

But fuck it,

I’ve been pissed of at life lately and decided what the heck. So I made an account. Just to really go all out I made an introduction thread titled:

“Hello GBATemp! My name is Paolo and check out my signature!”

I made a Linkin Park themed signature gif that I spent an hour and a half making. I took the METEORA album logo and pixelated it, mirrored it, and got a cool font and made my name vibrate; I thought it was awesome.

So for the first couple posts everything was fine. I had some people tell me how to improve my signature, to make it less shaky and smaller. Those were helpful. I liked those posts.
The bullshit didn’t start happening until the idiots in the reply’s started talking about NancyDS or some shit, and some dude was posting unrelated and unfunny meme/pictures.

My first thread was only alive for twenty god damn minutes before going down the shitter at the hands of the commenters.

But yo now what fuck that.

I can care less about the thread, I just want to see how people liked my signature.

EVERYBODY FUCKING HATED IT.

I felt defeated.
My own thread and reputation, all blown within one of my first threads ever.
Ugh

I was hoping to make a rosy cheeked happy blog post as a way of introducing myself (after my thread went bad), but I can’t help at being pissed of right now.
Ah well.

I’ll learn to like it here.

Somehow.

@HamBone41801 It was actually an issue of GBAtemp recommends that got Vipera banned the second time lol. His first time around, he hated the Mod team. The second time, he hated the Magstaff. Salty snek. He may have disliked you, but nothing will beat the hatred he holds for P1ng. :P
 
The Real Jdbye
He was banned multiple times? I just remember the one.
Anyway, he did all that just to get attention as according to him he was sick of the site and was going to leave anyway. Something like that.
You could say he pulled a Xuphor.

@Chary ah. Thanks for clearing that up. I wish we still had access to his post history and blogs. That rant near end was one of my favorites.

Also, I'd love to get my hands on his old icon for... reasons. If anyone knows a website where he's still active and has it, that'd be fantastic.

People are saying to watch out for people, there's this one person, I think their name is like "DeoNaught"
they are a complete ass, Don't trust anything they say, they are a complete piece of trash, and they left without saying anything

Idiots are everywhere my friend.
Don't let this crappy welcome ruin the fun! There's a lot going around here with chill people.

GBAtemp is full of immature adults that are struggling to leave their childhood behind. I wouldn't take anyone's insults too seriously.

Abusive moderators? I will tell you right now, we ban everyone equally! :P
Yeah I saw your thread and just jumped in to give my 2cents so people hopefully would stop.

Long ago, the four nations of GBAtemp lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Shitpost Nation attacked.

Hey don't make fun of this guy. A lot of people take their time deciding to join a forum and make a good intro thread. Not only that but to make a fantastic signature only to be mocked? Then he expresses his disappointment in the treatment he got on his signature in his interview thread for God's sake! To ridicule this man who has been threw so much already for shame on you for shame on all of you.

tbh I'm not offended by anything, This post was a joke, read my replies before posting more comments lol.

Also @linuxares In almost every thread based site like this one, whether it be Gamespot, Gamefaqs, NO or whatever always has a handful of moderators who ban people way too casually.
even though it's not fourm based, Twitch is the prime example of a site that is destroyed by abusive moderators. You literally can't even say anything even slightly opinionated without getting perma-banned.
I actually got banned on twitch while watching a speedrunner for typing "you lost some time on that level" because I was apparently bullying the streamer. Seriously, they're worse than spam-posters.
It's one of the main reasons I'm kind of angsty on joining sites like these.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
