This was stolen as a link from another forum, but seeing that many, *many* aspects of forum posting "rules of etiquette" apply not only to SL forums, but forums everywhere.

It's pretty professionally done, it's pretty funny -- and in many ways fitting for SL.

http://www.photographycorner.com/viewtopic.php?t=2675

Hope you enjoy this and get a few chuckles out of it as well.

It might take awhile to load, and please make sure you have your sound up. Follow along with the written script, there are a few hidden gems in there.

:)

Someone should make a sticky that says:
"This forum is not the place for complaining about random crap or random people.
It's supposedly for people who want to engage in constructive discussion about SL.
If your goal in life is to be among the most insufferable whiners ever, please cancel your account right now, since we'll end up banning you anyway."

Isn't that whining :eek: :eek: :eek:

Noone reads sticky's anyway, just look at the ones pathfinder posted in EVERY forum about the upgrade issues, and how many ppl just posted OMFGWTFBBWLOL posts anyway?

No, Willow, whining would be something like saying:
"OMG that Eggy is such a wanker, jebus, over 5000 posts, why won't he ever stop!? LL needs to ban Eggy Lippmann from the forums."

That's pretty funny. For those who don't know, the Steam they are talking about is the way the game Half Life is distributed online.

Yes, hotly (pardon the pun) disputed.

In England does whining = whinging?

Serious question.

(I know that hard to believe becuase I am usually arguing or posting wacky stuff).

I'd say children whine.. whilst adult whinge.. basically the same but subtly different.
