The first two of those were not made by WarCry frequenters, and the other was a thread we had years ago and decided to bring back. Personally, I hate those first two and barely have posted in them at all. I like the music one because it's interesting to see what other people listen to, more interesting then why someone chose their avatar, as that's usually quite obvious, to me at least.
That was me trying to be nice, but whatever. All the QQing about us being mean on your twitter is hilarious btw.
Yeah, those first 2 spam threads I just have no part in any more, but the music thread was an old fixture of our old off-topic here on warcry. It was the only thread in warcry history to break the forums and I was curious to see if we could do it again.

OH NOESZ! Why would he do such a thing!?
:(
Twitter: ok, i am at least 100% sure that warcry.com hates me, luckily for me i know that they are just a bunch of empty shells with no human parts:)
Zeeky_Santos: if this thread is so pointless to you then why do you have other threads such as "say something about the user above you", "What is the avatar above you thinking?" and "what are you listening to?" that are doing well and are clearly not being ridiculed by a bunch of hypocritical morons?
Eh, you gotta remember they are old timey originals of the site that think it's their own. Kinda makes you wonder why one doesn't pony up the 10 bucks and host their own where the 4-5 people can post without us "badge farmers" And they complain about escapist elitism.....
Too much thin skin in this thread. Suck it up and quit whining. If you don't want us to view you as a badge farming one-thread/post wonder, stay around and post some more. Post some interesting links you found (please....no LOLcats) or maybe even make a post about something that interests you. Originality helps - nobody likes copy-paste material.
I'm still upset you didn't include a "'cause it had boobs" option.

Perhaps because they weren't made by badge farming assholes.
when will you people realise that i am not a badge farmer? i haven't seen or heard prejudice like this since the 1950's, what next, are you going to ask me to sit at the back of the bus?

Did you just compare what some people said on the internet to the racial prejudices of the 20th century? You did didn't you?
I think you may have shot yourself in the foot with this thread Mr Zeeky. Warcry isn't just another piece of the escapist. It's got a completely different mindset. One that you don't pick up in a matter of minutes or even weeks.
I've been posting here on and off for a month or two now, and as far as I know I haven't seriously stepped out of line, but I have no doubt that I'm still very much viewed as "one of them pesky 'scapist fellers." by the denizens of Warcry. And rightly so. Unless I had something extremely impressive to share with them, I wouldn't dream of creating a thread here.
So the chances of you creating a thread which essentially says "Hey guys! Look what I just copy pasted. Now give me some of them precious views I know you got's a lot of. Purely for the badg... I mean enjoyment of course" and it being well received by a group which, ever since badges came into being, have had to put up with those coming in and disturbing the peace just for a 32 by 32 image on a regular basis. Is not very likely.

alright, i admit that it was a little stupid to compare one level of prejudice with one on a completely different level. but i am not a fucking badge farmer. i created this thread for profiling purposes. this thread has already told me that there are some, very few, people willing to accept it and there are some who seem to carry prejudice against me solely because i am from the escapist and thus they think that i am a badge farmer. i have already learned that this forum has some key players who all seem hell bent of having the forum "their way" and can't seem to grasp the concept of a new person making a thread. all of this information i have learned from your (the warcry fellas) reactions to the thread.
i originally thought that people would just accept that the thread was here and adhere to a good discussion about peoples avatars and why they chose them, that was my initial plan to learn things about these people. but instead you people decided that it would be better just to tell me to get lost because you thought only one thing of me. i chose to copy-paste an existing thread simply because all the answers would reveal something about your attitude towards the way you people represent your individual selves (the avatars) and not because i'm and unimaginative bastard with no originality as you people seem to think. I made this thread because I wanted to learn somethings about yourselves that wouldn't take months of lurking to work out. now can we please put this big mistake behind us and just ignore it even happened?

Oh my, that made me laugh. I think this needs to be incorporated into Godwin's Law.

A Nazi comparison is obviously the next step.
Actually, I heard somewhere that Nazis loved having badges on their uniforms. They would do pretty much anything to get them. Or so I have read....
Nah, but in all seriousness, I'm actually really torn on this issue. On the one hand, I frequent the escapist. On the other hand, warcry seems neat, but I'm almost scared of it because of the hatred of escapists. Every time I want to post something here, regardless of the thread, I feel as though I'm mutually not wanted, so I don't. That's why I only post in the "spammy" threads here. I feel like there, people at least can't get mad at me for what I say. I don't like badge farming, but I'm worried that if I post on warcry, people will think that I'm farming or trying to get a higher post count.

In this post, you acknowledge that I'm not a "badge farming a-----e" but then you say that you want no part of the threads. Even in your signature, you express your dislike of people who are on the escapist.
So what should I do here? What is the right answer?

I view you, Sneaky, Jaman, SV, and Damien's as cool people. Here's what I did. I orignally came from the Escapist, noticed this place called WarCry and just started posting. After a week or two I pretty much got to basically know the main people and adjusted my taste. At first I thought it was exactly like Escapist and figured I had to go by Escapist + WarCry's new set of rules. I didn't really start to fit in 'till I minused the Escapist part. So basically what I'm saying is if you want to fit in do these simple things: 1. Post in all types of threads, but either be on orignal main topic or the new topic created out of nowhere. Like how in "Post your picture" we started posting food for like 3 pages. If you post in only spammy ones some will still see you as a farmer going for other badges. 2. No grammar nazi-ism. 3. If we start dissing on Escapist don't get all upset. Use it as a time to vent. It's what a few of the people who visit both here do. 4. Don't go around necroing old threads. 5. As proven by Sargent Toughie, we don't like RP. I'd also suggest reading this thread: http://www.warcry.com/forums/read/12.79316 Nice guidelines to go by.
Well thank you, LivemeLifefree. What you said makes me feel better, and your guidelines actually help a lot. I read mrcheese's thread that you linked to as well.

In these situations the right answer is always the one where I hate you.
I could drink you children under the table any day of the week.
Oh Please. I was born into a country with a drinking culture bad enough to rival Ireland's. So unless you're a full blooded Irishman, I think I can handle anything you throw at me, drink wise. Well... Maybe not so much if it's the physical kind of throwing, but still.
Aha, but I am also part Scottish. Except after checking, I see you are British. So it equates to about the same level, as far as being fantastic drunks go. Unlike Greever, who is lousy at being a fantastic drunk. At least until I catch on to whatever other warcry in-jokes there are here and begin to shamelessly tap into those ones instead. At which point he shall go back to being just a lazy drunk.
