GBAtemp: A retrospective

So, I'm almost to my thousandth post, meaning I'll be getting a my FIRST red ribbon. I know, I know, you're all so proud. Although it is kinda sad I've had so many posts since I joined in like April... Anyway, with all the inners and outers of GBAtemp figured out, I thought I'd offer my insight.

The community here is a mixed bag. It's an odd combination of some of the smartest people on the intertubes and some of the dumbest people I've ever seen. The smart people, usually those in the higher post range (like 5 green ribbons or higher). This also includes pretty much the entire moderator staff, since they're obviously smart enough to get to that rank. On the other hand, we've got the dumb dumbs, as I affectionally call them. They're stupid, very stupid. They seem to combine selfishness, sloppiness, arrogance, ignorance, and as I've mentioned, before, stupidity. They'll go ahead asking stupid questions that have already been answered, ask for ROMs or the like, or just go ahead assuming things they don't. It's numbingly annoying. It gives me the anger I'm so beloved for. Honestly, I really think there should just be some type of test you have to take to see if you're actually smart enough to enter the Temp.

After we divide those, there's some other distinct social groups. We've got the weaboos, something I do hate. It's not like I have anything against Japan or Japanese product, but it's just weaboos in general. They seem so Japan-set that anything that is marked with flashy anime characters will automatically give them a boner. I mean, I hate anime, but that's an opinion. Weaboos just push it way too far. Outside of them, there's people like me who couldn't care less about anime and are just interested in other things.

As for some of the bigger Tempers, here's what I know: Hadrian is old, Toni is Croatian, p1ngy wears glasses. Not much else. I know there's other staff members who are pretty big, but they usually don't hang around where I go to look.

So, I've found there's many things that drive me insane on this site and get my blood pumping. Prime examples of human stupidity, arrogance, and selfishness are just a few. But still, it's so damn addicting I can't stop. I guess that's not a bad thing, I need something to do while Heroes buffers online.

Expect to see me reach the 1,000 post mark soon, and expect me for at least a 1,000 more. Hopefully I'll actually be noticable some time as "Hey, it's Guild" instead of "Hey, it's that douchebag with the long post".

Back when I signed up here, the community was awesome. I felt really welcomed (even though I didn't have an introductory post). I came to this site to ask about my late DSTT and I was quickly approached by a guy with a solution. I admit, it slowly went downhill but that doesn't stop me from logging in this site. It's the best one, seriously...

I fully agreed with you in that Pokemon rant you wrote. I liked your ranting style. I was waiting for someone to write a rant about how I felt about the "translation pandemonium" and you came. I never had the "ranting power" like you and you showed them how it is!

Now on topic: You definitely missed out on the good times. Although I only came here a year ago, the community was superb. mthrnite was mostly active all the time, BoneMonkey, Urza (for some reason I really miss this guy and his noob-ownage doings---doesn't make sense?) and others. This thread reminds me of Urza and his failed signature: "People who registered to GBAtemp for the sole purpose of asking which flash cart to buy". He put my name in there then I told him that that wasn't the reason I came here... Hours later he took off the sig lol.
 
i rant to often in my youtube videos lol i made a mario rant but what i don is take bits and peices of other videos and give them credit saying i didnt come up whit this
 
Hey it's that douchebag with long posts :lol:

I haven't heard that in while

someof youranti-noob pokemon rants are pretty cool
 
Guild, You are awesome enough for saying Led Zeppelin: Rock Band should be made instead of Lego Rock band! :D

Lego Rock Band is just a bad idea. You'll never been focusing much on the backgrounds as much as the song or the buttons than a bunch of retarded looking Legos singing and playing guitar. While I'm not a Led Zepplin fan, they're still large enough and famous enough to deserve one.

Bullshit. Post count is totally irrelevant.

Just look at jakob95.

I hate to admit it, but I agree with you there.
 
I came here in search of [/sarcasm]ROMZ! EHEMUAHAHAHAH GIVE ME TEH ROMZ[sarcasm]

This jakob person sounds familiar. And he sounds familiar because I seem to remember stupid people, so I'll go with the :rofl:

[quote name='GameSoul' post='2278898' date='Sep 25 2009, 11:56 PM']Haha, weeaboos. Maybe we should send them to Japan on the ship of no return.[/quote]

I think the captain would commit suicide. I mean, I can't stand 5 minutes with one weaboo, imagine having a big cruise ship filled with them? I'm pretty sure it'd just be a cosplaying/circle jerking to Megaman/anime-bible deciphering fest.

Well, I tend to be, at times, really active in the site, mainly because I have nothing better to do. I'm also mindlessly spamming to get my post count to 1,000 :creep:

I just don't like anime either. I don't mind if someone likes anime, but when they get to the point where the obsess about it and have no life outside of anime, that's when I hate it. I just find the whole concept in general to be weak.
